Hello world!
This is a preview of the new pygame.org website we are currently developing.Note: This site is often updated to current development version. Because of that, no data is saved forever, so just use this for testing. Register only to test register functionality. Otherwise log in with guest/guest. As well, some flat pages may be missing due to same reason (like about, download, ...)
Please report any errors!
Thanks

What's new (heaps of things since 1.8.1):
http://www.pygame.org/whatsnew.shtml
Summary of changes:
- many, many fixes and improvements. The largest amount of changes has gone into this release than any other pygame release.
- bug fixes for backwards compatibility issues introduced in pygame 1.8.x series. old games like solarwolf and libraries like PGU work again.
- experimental camera webcam module (still in development).
- experimental midi module based on portmidi and pyportmidi (99% complete).
- experimental gfxdraw module based on SDL_gfx (including AA circles, textured polygons and other goodness).
- python3, and python3.1 support mostly completed. Some modules still remain to be completed - but mostly it's working.
- nokia mobile phone s60 support.
- improved OSX support (dropped pyobjc dependency, improved installer, sysfont now works on OSX).
- pygame.examples + pygame.tests included with pygame. This makes testing easier, and also makes learning pygame more fun and easy.
- cleanup of examples, and addition of new examples.
- new tools to aid in development of pygame itself, better compilation documentation.
- py2app, and py2exe support improved.
Files are up on the download page.
