-<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 />
+<h1>Alpha Release of new API</h1>After a considerable amount of hacking and rewriting we have release the first development release of SDL perl on <a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Ekthakore/SDL-2.3_1/">CPAN</a>. <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 />
+<h2>Overview of 2.3_1</h2>In this version our goal was to tackle the proper allocations and destruction of SDL resources. We have accomplished this for all SDL Core structures. Moreover we have also improved the test suite and documentation considerably. Please read the <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL-2.3_1/CHANGELOG">CHANGELOG</a> for a more detailed look. <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 />
-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 />
-<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>
