+With the following <a href="https://github.com/PerlGameDev/SDL_Manual/commit/3acf7fada644a24b020fc1caf8338c2dd32b6985">commit</a> I am closing the grant.<br />
+<br />
+This is what has been accomplished from each of the objectives:<br />
+<ul><li>Cleaner Code and a lot of memory and performance improvements ( SDL 2.527 released Jan 18th )</li>
+<li>10 out of 11 chapters completed:</li>
+<ul><li>The profiling chapter was dropped as there was not enough content to justify a chapter.</li>
+</ul><li>3 Extra chapters added.</li>
+<li>Deviation from a CPAN SDL::Manual release due to the nature of the Manual it is being released as a creative commons<a href="https://github.com/PerlGameDev/SDL_Manual/blob/master/dist/SDL_Manual.pdf"> book</a> instead.</li>
+</ul>Next Steps:<br />
+<ul><li>Get the book polished and edited with chromatic's help</li>
+<li>Fix build system of the html to make a real SDL::Manual release</li>
+<li>Constant update of the book with more releases of SDL and reviewer comments.</li>
+</ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-6952731709319833584?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
