No code changes in this release, but the docker was updated to build more binary types! That's all the 32bit platforms that I used to release back in now!

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)
I downloaded the zip of executables from the link XorA gave and tested a few of them. The 64 bit arm version ran fine on my Pi5. The x86 and A64 Linux sQLux need more modern libs than I have in my 2020 Ubuntu VM, so I could not try those. It is probably time I moved to a later distro!
The 32bit Windows version ran fine too. There is an issue with the 64 bit Windows version, it makes a continual buzzing sound if sound is enabled. This is due to a bug in the latest version of SDL (2.30) where signed 8 bit audio is broken. Guess which type of audio sQLux uses
Now that version 1.0.7b has been released with working audio, I've deleted the Windows version that was attached here, to avoid propagating out of date versions.

Windows Defender barfs at the file above saying it contains a Trojan called Win32/Wacatac.B!ml. Whats going on?
sQLux_w64 seems to work fine on my W11 laptop. No buzzing..

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)
Have you got sound enabled in sqlux.ini? What happens if you enter beep 0,100
The file is clean, if you have doubts I suggest you google for online virus scanning websites and upload the file so it can be checked. I've uploaded it to several such sites and it is virus free. Defender on my Windows 10 installation also says it is clean. However, Defender is well known for false positives...
The bug in SDL that generates the buzzing is: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/9099
Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)
No, sorry. Hadnt got round to reading the manual at that time Sound was NOT enabled. It buzzes as promised.
The file above works fine, sound an' all, despite Defender's protests
Now to get better acquainted..

At least its windows so the least bad bit of the whole experience is a bit of buzzing

Debuzzed windows binaries, and as a bonus a couple of Spanish keyboard tweaks from @Exile.

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)
I have been testing QStar, Andrew's new game, in sQLux and I have noticed that, when rendering the plots, it shows some errors. This error, which can be seen in the image, is not reproduced in other emulators, such as QPC2. What could it mean?
