| Future of Allegro |

After some deliberation, the people on the Allegro 5 discussion list have decided that Allegro 5 is not worth pursuing. Hence, it has been scrapped. Not that it really took off anyway, so nothing much was lost. However, there has been some discussion about Allegro 4 on the developers list, too. Unfortunately, it looks like 4.0.3 will be the final release ever. Sad, but true. Note that there are plenty of alternatives around, and the source code is available so anyone who feels up to it can take over maintenance, if they so wish. So long Allegators. See you over at www.libsdl.org.

Yes, yes we already know. Your thirty-nine hundred some odd posts already gave this away. |

Yes, I'd like to announce that I'm giving up on Linux and Perl to go to Windows and VB.Net. -- |

No surprise there TF, considering your comments just a few days ago: Thomas said: that is Linux's fault... I've had my fun with crashing Linux as well!

See now, if people had listened to me when I said the API was already perfect, you guys wouldn't have wasted time on this wild goose chase (waits for his post to get edited) -- |

Quote: the people on the Allegro 5 discussion list have decided that Allegro 5 is not worth pursuing. Peter neglected to mention the reason for this decision. In fact, this decision was taken because I assumed control of the development of Allegro. I have always been unhappy with the direction Allegro was taking, so I took over and fired all the other open-source developers working on it. Henceforth, the former game programming library shall be known as Bobllegro. -- |

We should let that EGreg guy from #allegro take over. Then it can be Allegregro. I should also like to announce that I'm not going to finish my SEKRIT PROJACT. It's so nearly finished, but there's one sound effect I'm having trouble creating, and it's just not worth the effort. I may do an unfinished release at some point, but don't hold your breath. -- |

Remember The Allegro 5 thread from 1 April last year? 23 kept trying to spoil the joke, so his posts were edited back and forth by him and Matthew, until Matthew got fed up and removed his editing rights. I have some rather interesting IRC logs from that era, but I shan't post them. Mainly because I'm hungry. Mmm. I like cheese. And bread. -- |
