-Updates and Design Decisions +SDL_perl 2.3_5 is out!

-

Storm clouds loom,
Thunder cracks,
Lightning blinds,
Farmers rejoice.

Some quick updates:
After someone bugged me to update the Ohloh site for SDL perl, I finally got around to doing it.


Some good news:
v2.2.2.11 seems to be doing a good job considering it has been started to be picked up Debian, Mandriva and other packager maintainers. The stats are currently at [PASS(11) FAIL(6) NA(1) UNKNOWN(35)].

Some OK news:
As you can see we have some fails occurring in the smoke tests. This is occurring due to the test on Mixer.pm. Mixer.pm depends on a sound card being available to the user running the test. This can be fixed by adjusting the test to check for sound cards before it runs but I am at a lost on how to do that.
In regards to the unknowns occurring it is due to the *nixes and macs not having SDL libs installed. The will be fixed when Alien::SDL downloads and compiles sources.

Some not-so-great news:
Currently the XS code simplification work requires redesign and there are several different ways of redesigning. This may break backwards compatibility, hopefully we can work around this. Soon we will present the two arguments for the designs in the mailing list.


Until next time here is  a hint of something coming soon (credits go to garu):

We keep on rolling,
+rolling,
+waiting on the world to turn.
+

+So a new alpha is out on CPAN, 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 Daniel Ruoso 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!

+More to come --yapgh
