+<h1>Alpha Release of new API</h1>After a considerable amount of hacking and rewriting we have release the first development release of SDL perl on <a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Ekthakore/SDL-2.3_1/">CPAN</a>. <br />
 <br />
-</div><h1>The design before</h1><br />
-The bindings before were all in <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/src/SDL.xs">one huge XS file</a>. This was then exported into the SDL module. This means that the XS file has to handle with macros if any component (e.x SDL_Mixer) is not compiled. Moreover having ever binding in one XS file prevents use to treat C structs as object with only one point of free and malloc. This would be BEGIN and DESTROY in Perl. Also the monolithic design introduces a lot of bugs because we have to use free and malloc all over the place. Lastly SDL monolithic design has the constructor for all structs in both Perl and in XS. <br />
+<h2>Overview of 2.3_1</h2>In this version our goal was to tackle the proper allocations and destruction of SDL resources. We have accomplished this for all SDL Core structures. Moreover we have also improved the test suite and documentation considerably. Please read the <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL-2.3_1/CHANGELOG">CHANGELOG</a> for a more detailed look. <br />
 <br />
-<h1>The design we are aiming for</h1>Simple <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/src/Rect.xs">one XS</a> per Module. This would also simplify the Build code.<br />
 <br />
-<h2>First Step </h2><br />
-We have began with SDL Rect. It is in github master branch now. We are in the progress of making it back compatible. Originally SDL::Rect took named variables as parameters for new(). Now since the constructor <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/src/Rect.xs#L16">is in XS</a> we have only unnamed parameters. <br />
-<br />
-<br />
-<h3>Before</h3><br />
-SDL::Rect-&gt;new( -x =&gt; 0, -y =&gt; 0, -width =&gt; 0, -height =&gt; 0);<br />
-<br />
-<h3>After</h3><br />
-SDL::Rect-&gt;new(0, 0, 0, 0);<br />
-<br />
-Ideally we would like both ways of constructing Rect.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-6151839795039915111?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
