-Updates and Design Decisions
+SDL 2.503 Released!
-
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):

SDL 2.503 has been released on to CPAN. The changes are mostly in the new features added to SDLx::* layer. However as our continuing attempt to improve cross platform support we have some low level fixes.
+
Most interstingly we have begun work on SDLx::Sprite::Animated. Although, volatile, this addition will be highly anticipated. We look forward for more work on it soon. Additionally are the changes in SDLx::Surface. SDLx::Surface is an attempt to provide gfx, pixels, video and low level surface functions in a combined and simpler interface.
+
Since SDLx::Sprite and SDLx::App depends on SDLx::Surface, new features will be propagated and the magic amplified! These are exciting times for SDL in Perl. So come join us for great justice on #sdl irc.perl.org or sdl-devel@perl.org.
+The detailed
changelog are provided at
CPAN.
