Solarus 1.0.0
Release date: 2013/05/03
The "I love Lua" release.
This is a major release. The version number switches from 0.x to 1.x because there is a brand new Lua scripting API. I now consider that Solarus can be used to create your own Zelda-like games in decent conditions. By "in decent conditions", I essentially mean: with a clean and stable scripting API. Clean because there are nice datatypes now and the API is much easier to use, less error-prone and more with the Lua spirit. Stable because future versions of the scripting API will now try to keep compatibility with existing scripts. Any API change that breaks compatibility will now be clearly documented.
Data files and scripts written for solarus 0.x are not compatible with solarus 1.x. Which is not a problem since until now, I never said you could create a quest in decent conditions :) More seriously, I guess I'm the only one to have a lot of data files and scripts created for solarus 0.x. Anyway, conversion scripts are provided to upgrade your existing data files, but not your scripts (the scripting API, which was working but ugly and unstable, has totally changed).
Engine changes
Rewrite the Lua scripting API from scratch. Cleaner, real datatypes, much easier to use, less error-prone, much more features, fully documentated.
All scripts now live in a single Lua world.
Add support of scripted graphics.
Add support of scripted menus. Menus like the title screen, the savegames menu, the pause menu and the HUD are no longer hardcoded into the engine.
Doors, chests, teletransporters and destinations are now much more flexible and customizable.
Except tiles, all map entities can now have a name. The name is now optional.
Change the format of some data files, including maps and tilesets.
No more ini data files (removed the dependency to SimpleIni).
Add conversion scripts to upgrade existing data files (but not scripts).
Fix infinite explosions of bomb flowers.
This version also include changes from 0.9.3, though 0.9.3 is not released yet:
The game screen size can now be set at compilation time.
Change the savegames directory on Mac OS X.
Improve the support of Mac OS X, Pandora, Caanoo and other platforms.
Fix the compilation with Visual C++.
Fix blocks making sometimes only a half move ( #33 ).
Fix pixel-precise collisions not always correct ( #53 ).
Fix the end of target movement on slow machines ( #34 ).
Fix the hero being freezed when using the hookshot on bomb flowers ( #119 ).
Solarus Quest Editor changes
First release of a working editor.
Implement creating a new quest.
Implement edition of project_db.dat through the quest tree view.
Allow to show a grid on the map editor.
Fix a lot of bugs.
Solarus 0.9
Solarus 0.9.3
Release date: 2013/05/08
This should be the last release of the 0.9 branch. Existing games must now upgrade to Solarus 1.0.
However, upgrading to Solarus 1.0 represents a lot of work and testing: in the meantime, this release introduces important fixes that improve the situation of existing games.
The game screen size can now be set at compilation time.
Change the savegames directory on Mac OS X.
Improve the support of Mac OS X, Pandora, Caanoo and other platforms.
Images other than 8-bit can now be used for pixel-precise collisions.
Fix the compilation with Visual C++.

Fix blocks making sometimes only a half move ( #33 ).

Fix the end of target movement on slow machines ( #34 ).

Fix a crash using a teletransporter to the same map while an enemy is dying
Immobilized enemies restarted too early when using a teletransporter
Solarus 0.9.1
The player can now run with the action key if he has the ability "run"
Fix locked doors and blocks that could consume more than one small key
