-Updates and Design Decisions +SDL Alpha 2: A sneak preview
-
-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.
+
+So over the past week we have been working hard to release the next Alpha for SDL-2.3. In this release we have ported SDL_Image completely, fixed false negatives in our testing suite, improved conditional building. Also we have also started to migrate the very pretty SDL_GFX library. Here is the test for it, enjoy.
-
-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):
