-Why I will be sticking to CPAN +Threaded XS callback finally gets solved.

-
sculpted in clay,
then fired to glass.


Recently there was really long discussion on sdl-devel@perl.org about providing packages for SDL perl rather than focusing on CPAN releases. The gists of the argument was that SDL perl should be making platform specific packages for end users. I agree with this idea but I do have to face the truth.

The truth is there are very few developers currently working on SDL Perl. The truth is CPAN provides several tools that which currently drives development for SDL Perl. There are people interested in packaging SDL Perl (kmx, jean and Jerome Quelin). The truth is there are other very critical areas we can focus on.

If there are people looking to package SDL Perl for their platform please contact us at sdl-devel@perl.org.

+Dragged down from the lofty isles,
+into the guts and gore of the monster,
+a welcoming cringe in the gut approaches.

+

+
+So I was planning staying silent until an exam I had was done. But new developers on IRC (j_king, felix and ruoso) pull me back in. Which is a good thing ... I suppose ... because we finally have threaded callbacks for timer and audiospec to work. ruoso++ for this major contribution. If you remember this was the problem we were having.
+
+The new callbacks capability in audiospec allow you to procedurally generate sound now. If you would like a simple example take a look at t/core_audiospec.t. However a more fun example may be ruoso++'s tecla (a game for toddlers). Myself and Garu think it is a work of art but that is only because we are toddlers.
+
+On a side note some tickets on RT have also received some love ( after 3 or 4 years ... but nonetheless). TonyC++ sorry for the long time in response.
+
+More information on the CHANGELOG.
+
+Also a shout out to FROGGS for his new SON!!!. Congrats buddy!
