| nkeynes@793 | 1 | Release notes for lxdream 0.8.4
|
| nkeynes@177 | 2 | ===================================================
|
| nkeynes@177 | 3 |
|
| nkeynes@623 | 4 | Please note that this is still an alpha release - many things are not yet
|
| nkeynes@483 | 5 | implemented, it has many bugs (especially wrt rendering), and it's
|
| nkeynes@483 | 6 | not likely to run at 100% speed.
|
| nkeynes@177 | 7 |
|
| nkeynes@354 | 8 | Having said all that, some games are known to run to at least
|
| nkeynes@354 | 9 | some degree (aka everything we've tried), and most homebrew works
|
| nkeynes@403 | 10 | perfectly or nearly so - feel free to experiment and let us
|
| nkeynes@354 | 11 | know how it goes.
