The Problem with Allegro5:

I have noticed that it is taking much too long for the devs to release the next version of Allegro, Allegro 5. The problem with Allegro 5 is the fact that we don't have a cool code name for it like so many other open source projects that have code names for their releases. Fedora Core 6 was code named Zod for example

So clearly Allegro 5 will never be released if there is not a concerted effort by the Allegro community to decide upon and designate a codename for Allegro 5. Here are my nominations:

Mephistopheles
Orangutan
Zombie
Afweb

What are your nominations?

2) other codecs for audio etc.

If it were C++, people would still be drawing pretty UML class diagrams and talking about doing instead of doing. In 2012, a year after implementation would be started, someone would notice that the design is not good enough, then they argue a bit about what's True OOP and what's not and go back to UML modeling, only to dissolve the whole project 2 years later. :P

Allegro-mobility ! ( Report to numerology, 5 is the number for mobility, we live in the time where moving, laptop (mobile computer), cell phone (mobile phone) are important, that just it. (I was reading an article from wikipedia about numerology ;_p ))

That would be really nice thing to have one day.
I wouldn't mind if there were (official) wrappers for C++ and D.

Name is irrevelant, when I'd start all my projects by thinking a flashy name I wouldn't have done half the things I have.

Are you implying that it'll later be renamed to "Allegro Wii"?
