-SDL_perl 2.3_5 is out!
+Closing the Grant
 </h1>
 <div class="CONTENT">
-<div style="text-align: right;"><i>We keep on rolling,<br />rolling,<br />waiting on the world to turn.</i><br /></div><br />So a new alpha is out on <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~kthakore/SDL-2.3_5/">CPAN</a>, after a bit of a break. We are trying to pick up our speed again. Hopefully we can get back to the weekly updates. This week I am going to try to get Mixer and TTF bindings test, redesigned and doc'd. Hopefully soon we can start working on Frozen Bubble, as things are starting to come together. This alpha release has finally given us a good implementation of SDL Timers. Also <a href="http://daniel.ruoso.com/categoria/perl/games-perl-1">Daniel Ruoso</a> has also started a series blog posts of making games with SDL Perl. Hopefully this can get more people in SDL, cause we can sure use the help!<br /><br /><i>More to come --yapgh</i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-896792692004201189?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

+With the following <a href="https://github.com/PerlGameDev/SDL_Manual/commit/3acf7fada644a24b020fc1caf8338c2dd32b6985">commit</a> I am closing the grant.<br />
+<br />
+This is what has been accomplished from each of the objectives:<br />
+<ul><li>Cleaner Code and a lot of memory and performance improvements ( SDL 2.527 released Jan 18th )</li>
+<li>10 out of 11 chapters completed:</li>
+<ul><li>The profiling chapter was dropped as there was not enough content to justify a chapter.</li>
+</ul><li>3 Extra chapters added.</li>
+<li>Deviation from a CPAN SDL::Manual release due to the nature of the Manual it is being released as a creative commons<a href="https://github.com/PerlGameDev/SDL_Manual/blob/master/dist/SDL_Manual.pdf"> book</a> instead.</li>
+</ul>Next Steps:<br />
+<ul><li>Get the book polished and edited with chromatic's help</li>
+<li>Fix build system of the html to make a real SDL::Manual release</li>
+<li>Constant update of the book with more releases of SDL and reviewer comments.</li>
+</ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-6952731709319833584?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
