Release ray4laz 6.0

We are excited to announce the release of ray4laz 6.0 – a major update synchronized with the landmark raylib 6.0 release!

This version brings full support for all the new features of the raylib backend, along with significant compiler support improvements and bug fixes, making Pascal development even more enjoyable.

What's New?

• Synchronized with raylib 6.0: Ray4Laz is now based on the latest major version of raylib, which includes:

  • NEW Software Renderer (rlsw): Allows applications to run without a GPU.
  • NEW Platform Backends: Added support for Win32, Emscripten, and PLATFORM_MEMORY.
  • REDESIGNED Fullscreen & High-DPI Modes.
  • REDESIGNED Skeletal Animation System.
  • NEW and Improved Filesystem API.

• Added static linking for Windows.

• Delphi Support: Thanks to the efforts of @HemulGM (Pull Requests #60, #63), ray4laz now includes support for the Delphi compiler. Examples and general compatibility have been greatly improved.

• MSEIde/ideU Compatibility: Added support for the MSEIde/ideU (by @fredvs), expanding the range of development environments where the library can be used.

• Math Operator Overloads: Added C++-style operator overloads for Vector2, Vector3, Vector4, Quaternion, and Matrix (from raymath). Many thanks to @olatov (PR #48, #50). This allows for more natural and readable mathematical code.

• Fixes and Code Cleanup:

  • Corrected the signature of the Vector2ClampValue function in raymath (by @olatov).
  • Removed dead code that appeared after end. (by @n7800), improving stability and source clarity.
