+<h3>Updates</h3>Since the last post SDL Perl has seen an increase of interest to both use and contribute to SDL Perl. Before I dig into the updates, I would like to acknowledge them.<br />
+<h3>Core Development</h3><b>Acme (<a href="http://use.perl.org/%7Eacme/journal/">Leon Brocard</a>):</b> Has started to work on the Redesign Effort with me. The help is much appreciated! Enjoy your vacation. <br />
+<br />
+<h3>Website and Windows Testing</h3><b>FROGGS (Tobias Leich):</b> Came in as a new user to SDL Perl. And after breaking the redesigned SDL Perl in as many ways possible he has decided to help out on the new site. <br />
+<br />

-<ol><li>MacOSX build is working again. It's still rough but Tetris works on it now. dngor++</li>
-<li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Ekthakore/SDL-Tutorial-Tetris-0.015/">SDL::Tutorial::Tetris</a> is on CPAN as v0.15. nferraz++</li>
-<li><a href="http://github.com/m4gnet/SDL_perl/commit/9957e76f888ac71a911e3a71c2783141748d2387">SDL Perl docs</a> are a little better now. magnet++</li>
-<li>Finally experimental <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/tree/experimental">Rect and Game::Rect</a> are behaving. There is still more work needed in Game::Rect. Moreover there are more tests on the experimental release. garu++</li>
-<li>Also POGL is <a href="http://sdlperl.pastebin.com/f78b8c1b9">working</a> experimentally with SDL. <br />
-</li>
-</ol>Hopefully I can get the first three results into the next release soon. The next release 2.2.3 will go up as a developmental release first. Also the experimental branch is going up as version 2_4.<br />
+<h3>Last Legacy Release</h3><br />
+Ok! Now this weekend hopefully we will release our last legacy release, after this we move on! This release will focus on showing of SDL + Perl possibilities.<br />
+<h3>Pong + SDL::Game::Rect</h3><a href="http://onionstand.blogspot.com/">garu</a> has been working on making SDL object extensions that provide a more perly way to use and play with the SDL bindings. To demonstrate the benefits of this SDL::Tutorial::Pong is done and being polished up. SDL::Game::Rect is a peek in to the design and vision we have for SDL down the road.<br />
+<h3>Design</h3>The design we have settled on for future release for SDL Perl can be broken in to two layers, SDL::* and SDL::Game::*. Previously the SDL Perl library tried to provide C bindings and provide Perl Idiomatic access. This was messy in regards to the single responsibility principle (do one thing and do it well).<br />
<br />
-<h1>Developers</h1>All developers please tell me what to put you guys want to be put down as on the <br />
-in the Docs for the SDL Perl Team section.<br />
+We have decided to separate these two focuses into the two name spaces SDL::* and SDL::Game::*. SDL::* will provide straight access to SDL's C API, nothing less and nothing more. SDL::Game::* will extend and make pretty unicorns for Perl. <br />

+This design has already begin to pay of. One major benefit been in the XS <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commit/20f544ea4f3e7b34c68445aba89ed9c69d411ddf">readability</a>. Moreover since structs are treated as objects, Perl manages their destruction, and deliver less memory leaks.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-4327446497206876141?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
