-------------------------
**Today I'm happy to announce the new pymunk 2 release!**
New goodies in this release comes mainly form the updated chipmunk library. Its
now possible for bodies to sleep, there is a new data structure holding the
objects and other smaller improvements. The updated version number comes mainly
from the new sleep methods.
Another new item in the release is some simplification, you now don't need to
initialize pymunk on your own, thats done automatically on import. Another cool
feature is that pymunk passes all its unit tests on the latest pypy source
which I think is a great thing! Have not had time to do any performance tests,
but pypy claims improvements of the ctypes library over cpython.
Note, this release is not completely backwards compatible with pymunk 1.0,
some minor adjustments will be necessary (one of the reasons the major version
number were increased).
Changes from the last release:
- Removed init pymunk method, its done automatically on import
- Support for sleeping bodies.
- Updated to latest version of Chipmunk
- More API docs, more unit tests.
- Only dependent on msvcrt.dll on windows now.
- Removed dependency on setuptools
- Minor updates on other API, added some missing properties and methods.
