Thanks you two :) That's very kind.Currently I merged Lenard's epic SDL2_patches branch into master. Sdl1 is still the default, and it's testing ok on win, Linux, mac build bots.Only Linux compiles with sdl2 so far, but I'm working on mac today - and will update the compilation notes on the wiki as I go. There's some comments in the PR, pointing out parts that still need compatibility code written. These will eventually make it into the '2' milestone 'Are we pygame 2 yet?'Cleaning up the build system and getting sdl2 binary builds onto pypi will take some time I expect.This is some seriously monster-fucking-epic work by Lenard who first started on the patches in 2013 I believe!!!cheerio,

I've been thinking how to have SDL2 and SDL1 releases on pypi at the same time.1.9.5.devX releases, with SDL1 being compiled in.2.0.0.devX releases, using SDL2 stuff.The benefit is that we can:
- 'release early, release often'. The fact is most people only test, or try things out once things are released.
- we need help testing a SDL2 pygame, and having it on pypi makes that easy for people. My guess is only 2-3 people have tried the SDL2 branch so far for example.
- there's only one tree, which is easier to maintain than separate branches.
- we also need help testing SDL1 stuff, to make sure it hasn't broken.
Step 1.The first step is to get the continuous releases working, and I'll reset the version number in git master to 1.9.5.dev0Each merge into master will do a release to pypi as 1.9.5.devX, where X is the number of commits since the last release tag (1.9.4).Step 2.Unfortunately I don't see a way to merge the SDL2 branch in incrementally.So I'll do a big merge of the SDL2 stuff into master.With SDL1 being the default.Step 3.Do the repo files cleanup (mentioned earlier).Step 4.Get pygame 2 working on non-linux platforms.Get continuous deploys working for pygame 2.0.0.devX.Step 5.There will be a pygame 1.9.5 release with the API cleanup, and disabled SDL2 support.Including other platform fixes (like how *BSD pygame is broken currently).So, that's the plan.
