Q: What’s up with SDL 2.0? Can I help?

See ya!
-Sam Lantinga, Lead Software Engineer, Blizzard EntertainmentA: SDL 1.3 is in development and when it matures it will become SDL 2.0. You can download a PRERELEASE version of the code from the SDL subversion page and provide feedback on the mailing list.

Ok so version 1.3(.*) is like odd number versions for gnome apps?

2.0. You can download a PRERELEASE version of the code from the SDL
subversion page and provide feedback on the mailing list.

It might be worth noting that the svn trunk is 1.3 … I wonder if there
are people downloading it that think the trunk is progressing to 1.2.14…

One thing I don’t like which I believe is related to SDL is that games using
it can’t allow alt+tab when in fullscreen mode. Can I change this in 1.3 /
2.0? That’s probably the feature I would like the most.

I think this already works on Windows. Are you talking about another platform?
