Re: [pygame] hi, what is it? oh pygame 1.8 is released.

["René Dudfield" <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

ah, yes. oops.  Thanks for spotting that.

The new sprite stuff is documented with doc strings, and an example.
If you try the testsprite example you'll hopefully see much improved
performance :)

Try out:
python testsprite.py -FastRenderGroup

However the new sprite stuff isn't in the html documentation... oops.
I'll fix that soon.  For now just look at the example, and the doc
strings.

cheers,
*raises glass*
