-Updates and Design Decisions +Development Update
-
-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.
+
+Had an exam on the weekend so I am a bit late. Here is the progress so far.
+
+
+The major release maybe coming quicker than we thought. FROGGS++ for helping a lot out on this. However we need more testers!! Please contact us on #sdl and we will set you up with an account on Smolder.
-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):
