        It was pretty stable for a while now. This really is about freezing the API and being ABI compatible between updates, meaning that Linux distros can now provide a package for it and be relatively sure that all programs can be linked against it and keep working in the future.

                Hmm. Well, that probably means that I'll have to migrate my game from SDL 1 to SDL 2 now.

                  I will undust my Logitech wheel once Speed Dreams migrates to this new version and supports the feedback properly.
