Plans for release 1.2.61?

[hartwork]

Hi!

It will soon be five months since the latest release 1.2.60 and there are fixes on master since then that users will be happy about. Are there any plans for a release 1.2.61?

Thanks and best, Sebastian

Yeah, this has been pending...I'll see if I can get a release out this week, if possible!

[hartwork]

Cool! 👍

Just to chime in, would it be possible to add a release dll for Windows next time?
I just had the discussion with someone and thought I could just point him here, let him grab the dll, then the SDL2 dll and he would be good :(

CC @slouken: is this something we can reasonably do from the same place you generate SDL release binaries? I don't know if that's easy or complicated.

[slouken]

Possibly, I'll take a look. How do you currently create the release?

I think we've just been tagging it in git and telling GitHub "this tag is the release's commit" and letting it build a tarball. I don't think we've done builds for any platform so far, just source code.

Fedora is building MinGW/Windows builds for sdl12-compat for cross compiling SDL applications to Windows. So at least I know it works. 😄

[slouken]

Yeah, let me know when you're getting close to release, and I'll set up a Windows DLL build here.

[icculus]

Okay, I'm going to tag a prerelease 1.2.62 today, which will become a 1.2.64 stable release about a week later.

@sezero, do you have anything you want to do before I set the prerelease tag?

[icculus]

Also CC @sulix, in case you have anything pending you want to get into this release.

[sezero]

@sezero, do you have anything you want to do before I set the prerelease tag?

Not particularly.

Does #216 has a change of getting fixed before release?

It felt too risky, considering last time it broke dozens of games.

That fork of quake2 isn't popular, so it's not high-priority. We'll try to fix it for the next release.

[icculus]

Okay, 1.2.62 PRERELEASE is live: https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat/releases/tag/prerelease-1.2.62

The git repo now reports itself as 1.2.63 and will bump to .64 for the official release. We'll let this marinate for a week or so before the release.

@slouken, you can add Windows DLLs to this here and look for the thing about attaching files at the bottom of that page, if you want to take a shot at building those.

[slouken]

Windows DLLs built and added to the release!

Nothing on my end.

There was an audio regression on Uplink, but it turned out to be an sdl2-compat issue (libsdl-org/sdl2-compat#75), and doesn't reproduce with sdl12-compat on top of real SDL2.

[icculus]

Last call on this, probably releasing 1.2.64 today if there are no objections.

[icculus]

Tagging release in 60 minutes.

[icculus]

I see this is still running on Icculus Time. :)

This is officially released!

@slouken, feel free to build Windows .dlls if you want to add them to the release.

I have bumped revision control to 1.2.65, which will someday become a 1.2.66 prerelease and an official 1.2.68, if it works hard in school and eats its vegetables. But for now, this issue can be closed! Thanks everyone!

[icculus]

(Also, CC @Conan-Kudo, for pulling the new release into Fedora at his leisure.)

[hartwork]

Thanks for making this happen! 🙏

[slouken]

Windows binaries are up!
