+Grant Progess Reports 1-3: Sept - Nov
</h1>
<div class="CONTENT">
-So Blaizer started a Neverhood clone and fixed a lot of the Controller code to make it work nicely. This has been released as SDL 2.518. It does break back compat a bit, but not too much.<br />
+As you know I have received a TPF grant to write a SDL Perl Manual.<br />

-Have a look at <a href="http://sdl.perl.org/SDL-Deprecated.html#2_517">http://sdl.perl.org/SDL-Deprecated.html#2_517</a> to see the breakages. <br />

<br />
-The documentation for Controller has also been improved considerably. <br />
+I have been a bit busy with that and not been able to update my blog. Anyway here are some of the back dated Grant Updates. These updates where also posted on <a href="http://news.perlfoundation.org/">http://news.perlfoundation.org/</a><br />
