Question about TSE libraries

by David Dougher · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 07/15/2006 (6:23 am) · 3 replies

I notice that the zlib and libpng libraries for TSE use the earlier ones before the release of TGE 1.4 RC2. When RC2 was released these libraries were updated to more recent versions that were supposed to eliminate a bug in alpha stripping (libpng) and to remove a security bug (zlib).

I have the current ones from TGE implemented in my TSE version. Is there any reason why I should NOT be using this version instead of the older ones? And Is there any reason that TSE should not be updated to the latest versions? It was only a 20 min change...tops.

Maybe I'm missing a bug?

    There's no reason not to use the newer libs other than those problems are very minor. We'll get to it, not a high priority right now.
