We are very excited to announce the release of SFML 3! 🎉 After close to 12 years since the last major version of SFML came up, it's time for an upgrade! Three years in the making, with [over 1'100 commits](https://github.com/SFML/SFML/compare/2.6.2...3.0.0), 41 new contributors, and a lot of time invested, we want to thank each and everyone who helped make SFML 3 a reality. A massive thank you to @ChrisThrasher, who relentlessly pushed SFML 3 forward and has by far contributed the most time and effort-wise, with over 500 pull requests to his name alone! A special thank you also to @vittorioromeo for laying the foundation early onto which SFML 3 was built. 🙌 ## Highlights - SFML has *finally* been updated to support and use C++17 ⚙️ - The test suite has been massively expanded to 57% code coverage 🧪 - OpenAL has been replaced with [miniaudio](https://miniaud.io/) 🔊 - New and improved event handling APIs ⌨️ - Scissor and stencil testing 🖼️ - And more... See [the changelog](https://github.com/SFML/SFML/blob/master/changelog.md) for more details. We have also overhauled the website, which next to being mobile friendlier should allow us to update the websi

We're happy to announce the second Release Candidate for SFML 3! 🎉 Three years in the making, with [over 1'100 commits](https://github.com/SFML/SFML/compare/2.6.x...3.0.0-rc.2), 41 new contributors, and a lot of time invested, we want to thank each and everyone who helped SFML 3 get this far. A special thanks to [vittorioromeo](https://github.com/vittorioromeo) for laying the foundation early on and a massive thank you to [ChrisThrasher](https://github.com/ChrisThrasher) for relentlessly pushing SFML 3 forward - he currently sits at over 500 pull requests alone! 🙌 With the second release candidate we've majorly [reworked our dependency handling](https://github.com/SFML/SFML/pull/3141). SFML will no longer ship third-party binaries in its source code distribution! Instead, unless the user decides to use system-wide available dependencies, SFML will fetch and build its dependencies on-the-fly by utilizing CMake's `FetchContent`. If everything goes to plan, this will be the final Release Candidate, as all the features and breaking changes have been merged and the open issues are mostly about documentation and minor alignments. ## We Need You! 🫵 We need your help t

We're very proud to announce the first Release Candidate for SFML 3! 🎉 Getting closer to three years in the making, with [over 1'000 commits](https://github.com/SFML/SFML/compare/2.6.x...3.0.0-rc.1), 38 new contributors, and a lot of time invested, we want to thank each and everyone who helped SFML 3 get this far. A special thanks to [vittorioromeo](https://github.com/vittorioromeo) for laying the foundation early on and [ChrisThrasher](https://github.com/ChrisThrasher) for relentlessly pushing things forward - currently sits at over 500 pull requests alone! 🙌 We plan to create at least another release candidate within the new few weeks and hope to have SFML 3 fully release before the end of 2024! Additionally, we plan to release SFML 2.6.2 before SFML 3, as to incorporate all the fixes. At lot of work is also being done in parallel to get [CSFML 3](https://github.com/SFML/CSFML/issues/331) and [SFML.Net 3](https://github.com/SFML/SFML.Net/issues/262) updated and hopefully we can release them nearly at the same time. ## We Need You! We need your 🫵 help to test this release candidate! Please report any issues, crashes, migration struggles, etc. or just gen

A small bugfix update to the massive SFML 2.6.0 release from earlier this year. Largely addressing issues in the build process, but also fixing a few issues in specific, less tested scenarios, see the full changelog below. Note again that SFML 2 will only see fixes for critical issues as patch releases (e.g. 2.6.2), but all the other development efforts are focused on SFML 3. For more details and future discussions, see the [Roadmap](https://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=24372.0). ## Changelog Also available on the website: https://www.sfml-dev.org/changelog.php#sfml-2.6.1 ### General - Stop overwriting CMAKE_MODULE_PATH (#2577) - Loosen restrictions on unknown compilers (#2585) - Fix CI deprecation warnings (#2624) - Fix unused compiler flag error in Clang (#2625) - Disable warnings as errors by default (#2680) ### Window **Bugfixes** - Fix macOS resize event bug (#2618) - Skip ClientMessage events with other window ID unless it is for IM (#2651) ### Graphics **Bugfixes** - Ensure OpenGL extensions are loaded before querying maximum texture size (#2603) - Fixed RenderTexture being upside down on Android (#2730)

After 5.5 years, we're proud to announce a new and massive SFML release. Over the past few years a lot has changed code-wise, in the team, in the community, and also with the roadmap of SFML. We would like to thank every single one of our contributors, who helped *make* this release - check the lengthy list at the bottom. Thank You! It's important to note, that this will be **the final SFML 2.x release**. We will provide fixes for critical issues as patch releases (e.g. 2.6.1), but all the other development efforts are focused on SFML 3.
