One question that keeps popping up: "when do we release 2.0?".
NewGRF will force that at least 1.16 will be 2.0, but to not wait
for this, let's drop the "1." and be for ever done with that
conversation.
We are following in the footstep of giants here.
On some distros allegro v5 is called allegro-5, but on some others
it is not. So this should fix for all distros that allegro v5 is
not being picked up, and only v4 is.
These bundles can be opened on any "modern" Linux machine with
a driver that SDL2 supports.
Machines needs at least glibc 2.15, which was released 10 years ago.
It is build with CentOS 7 as base, and only assumes the following
libraries are available on the system:
- libc
- libdl
- libgcc_s
- libpthread
- librt
- libstdc++
All other libraries the game depends on are bundled together with
the game, so users don't need any library installed to use this
bundle. The downside of course is that this increases the binary
size a bit: 30 MiB of libraries are in this bundle.
RPATH is used to make ld-linux find the folder libraries are
stored in; however, system libraries are always used before these,
in the assumption libraries on the user system are more up-to-date.
Using -DOPTION_PACKAGE_DEPENDENCIES=ON switches on packaging
of libraries in the "lib" folder. This requires CMake 3.16 to
be installed; otherwise it will fail.
Emscripten compiles to WASM, which can be loaded via
HTML / JavaScript. This allows you to play OpenTTD inside a
browser.

By default gzip embeds a timestamps which makes building it twice
not reproducible, passing -n skips this embedding behaviour.
Motivation: https://reproducible-builds.org
The expected regression output files all end with a newline. As such, we have to make sure we capture the output from OpenTTD with the last newline intact.
I tried building a tag, and got this error:
CMake Error at cmake/scripts/FindVersion.cmake:85 (string):
string sub-command REGEX, mode REPLACE: regex "^[0-9.]*$" matched an empty
string.
CPack works closely together with CMake to do the right thing in
terms of bundling (called 'package'). This generates all the
packaging we need, and some more.
CMake works on all our supported platforms, like MSVC, Mingw, GCC,
Clang, and many more. It allows for a single way of doing things,
so no longer we need shell scripts and vbs scripts to work on all
our supported platforms.
Additionally, CMake allows to generate project files for like MSVC,
KDevelop, etc.
This heavily reduces the lines of code we need to support multiple
platforms from a project perspective.
Addtiionally, this heavily improves our detection of libraries, etc.
For grfs, it now uses CMake scripts to do its job, and both grf
files are split into their own folder to make more clear what is
going on. Additionally, it no longer builds in-source (although the
resulting grf is copied back in the source folder).
For ob[msg] it now uses CMake scripts to generate the translation
files; the result is no longer stored in-source (but in the build
folder).
Although all files are available to create the GRFs and basesets, it
won't really work till CMake is introduced (which will happen in a
few commits from here)
The tst_stationlist savegame had to be changed to start the correct
AI. In the old setup, all regression AIs had the same name, which
made it impossible to run both regressions in parallel. With the new
setup this is possible.
Although all files are available to run the regression, it won't
really work till CMake is introduced (which will happen in a few
commits from here)
