Title: Current situation of SFML
Post by: Laurent on January 27, 2014, 04:25:21 pm: Hi

Many of you have probably noticed that very few commits were made in the last 2 months. I'm currently very busy doing something totally different (working in my house), and this situation will probably last a few weeks or months more. Since SFML can't wait this long, I've asked Nexus to be "me" until I can be available again, and he agreed to help :)

What this means, is that in the next months he will be the one who makes new commits, decides which features are implemented, etc. Of course the rest of the team (Marco and Jonathan) is still here, and I will continue to check the forum, the task tracker, and if needed, help with design decisions or very specific technical questions. And you, community members, can still contribute with pull requests or patches -- or more if Nexus decides that he needs more specific help.

I hope this will be enough to get SFML 2.2 released in a decent amount of time, and to start working on important things for SFML 2.3.

Alright Nexus, so you are the one we can target our cannons at, now? Get prepared. ;) Just kidding, congrats!

I wish you all the best with your current projects and I'm certain Nexus will keep pushing SFML where you want it to be for its 2.2 release.

I'm totally confident in Nexus' relay !

PS (and since you haven't posted that on french side) : Je dois faire le tour de toutes les maisons en constructions dans le secteur de Metz pour planter un panneau "SFML Creator lives here" devant :p ?

Post by: Laurent on January 28, 2014, 07:59:40 am: C and .Net bindings will follow the SFML releases, but no major modification will be made to them (sorry for the pending pull requests and tasks).
