Re: [pygame] pygame 1.9.2 release

Hi RenÃ,

Great news. Anything more I should do? I got distracted earlier this 
year when, on the PyPy mailing list, I got the impression that new 
buffer support was of low priority, making much of the work I did on 
Pygame irrelevant to PyPy. But that is my personal interpretation, and 
may be entirely wrong. This is something I need to address with the PyPy 
developers, but can wait until after 1.9.2 is released. The added new 
buffer support is still relevant to CPython.

I am for doing one final push to get version 1.9.2 release worthy, but 
won't add any new features. These can wait until the basics of the SDL2 
version 2.0 are decided. For now I can see more work on the 
documentation, and looking at unit tests and bugs. Unfortunately I 
cannot do much to help with the Windows build, as I only have XP i386 
installed on my machine, and little interest in upgrading (I do have 
access to a Windows 7 machine, so maybe I can do a final release build.)

I think an end-of-January release date is realistic. I will now go to 
the bug tracker to see what is left to do.
