Hi,
From the mercurial repositry it seems that SDL library has not been updated for at least 5 weeks, is it still being developed ?
Also, are the other libraries, such as SDL_mixer going to be zlib licensed as SDL ?
Regards,

Yes. Sam just took on a new job, and I’m in crunch mode on something
myself, but development is still planned.

SDL 1.3 is under the zlib license, because all the code falls into three
categories: Sam wrote it in the first place, Sam rewrote it for 1.3, or
Sam got permission from the original contributor to relicense it.
The other libraries haven’t been vetted as such, and it might take an
enormous amount of energy to do so.
If anyone is bored, though: feel free to compile a list of contributors
and I’ll help figure out how to track them down. You’ll have to go
through every revision, though, as most of the external contributions
would list Sam or I as the commit name.
–ryan.
FYI - SDL also has a GSOC project as well this year; the focus is to add
a new test framework to make it easier to check the quality of the 1.3
codebase.

There is another GSoC student this summer working for Haiku to add Haiku as
a supported OS in SDL1.3.

just a random idea, in order to avoid something like that for the
future why don’t you use "hg commit -u " to give proper commit
credit to occasional contributors?
