• Added a new collision detection method, "kBothCollision", which is preferrable in games where only few sprites have a hitTask.
Also, I fear that I made some mistakes when making the 2.3.9 update, by not including the latest FastLoad.p, and (ouch) including an old, buggy PPC blitter. 2.4.0 should have the correct files.
• The blitter format is slightly changed, in order to make the entire sprite record available to blitters. If you rely on the "clip" field, you may have to make some minor modifications to your code.
• New 8-bit mask blitter for PPC. It is recommended if you use SATRun2.
• 16-bit blitters, 68k and PPC. These are in a separate resource file and should be considered experimental for the moment.
• Some changes and additions in the add-ons, e.g. SortingUtils, FaceFromICN and more.
• New updates to FastLoad.p, which now works properly with row lists.
• The internal sorting routine is improved.
• A bunch of minor but possibly irritating bugs in the SAT lib have been fixed. These include the mismatch between the portRect and the bounds of a SATPort, poor results from SATHideMBar/SATShowMBar, and more.
• Separate C header files are supplied for most add-ons.
The shared library version of SAT is not included in the 2.4.0 release. Nobody has ever expressed interest in it, and I personally believe that linking is usually better than sharing. If you really need it, tell me – and tell me why.
