Hi everybody,

v0.8.0 is available for download!
http://cocos2d-iphone.googlecode.com/files/cocos2d-iphone-0.8.tar.gz

Release notes (MUST READ):
http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/wiki/doku.php/release_notes:0_8

v0.8.0 took more than 3 months to release (it started after v0.7.2), and it includes lots of bug fixes, new features, and some internal refactoring ("invisible" features).

I think that almost every v0.7.x feature has, at least, a bug fix or an improvement.

This release includes code / patches from many many people:
http://code.google.com/p/cocos2d-iphone/source/browse/trunk/AUTHORS

I would like to thank all the people who are constantly sending patches, adding features, fixing bugs, opening issues and suggesting improvements.

Also, many thanks to all those who don't cease to help others in the community, making it easier for beginners (and not so beginners) to learn cocos2d.

What's next ?
Expect a shorter release cycle.
The focus will be put on map/editors: tile-less map support, and better tile map support.

riq: i can see that you have not a 0.8 branch in the repository... do you plan to keep 0.8 in the trunk?

another thing. I'm looking at the cocos2d-iphone xcode project and the reference to the libz shared object is there several times... I think that just ticking (in the info panel) that the library will have to be linked in other targets is enough.

rolando: yes, mi idea is to release incremental releases (v0.8.1, v0.8.2) from trunk.
I'll create the v0.8 branch when I'll start the v0.9. But for the moment, I would like to focus is v0.8 bug fixing, and adding features that are compatible with v0.8 API (like TMX support)

regarding zlib, yes, I don't like the zlib dependencies that appear on the project. But I don't know how to remove them.
cocos2d v0.8.1 will need zlib to load TMX compressed maps, so, all the targets that depends on cocos2d, also depends on zlib.

riq: here's the patch (for project.pbxproj) to fix the zlib dependency. It only appears once and is added to all targets. Tested the TileMapTest and works just fine.

hth,

The patch is here:
