Hi everybody, I'm new to these forums and I just recently found out about SFML and tried it out. I like it alot but I have a concern, and I'm sorry if this has been asked before.

Will the release version of SFML 2.0 be different from the one currently on GitHub? I'm asking because I want to start coding my game soon but I'm not sure whether I'll have alot of work to do when the full release comes out. Basically, will most of the code be the same or will I have to change alot once SFML2 is released?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Yes, otherwise it would already be released

But most of the changes are already there, only the graphics API will change before the release, and the amount of work required to convert from the current revision should be very small anyway.

Lol, I guess you're right there, but its good to hear that it won't be that much work to convert the code. I'm gonna go start making my game now, thanks alot for the reply!

EDIT: Hey while I'm here, do you mind telling me just how long you think the wait will be before SFML 2 will be released? Before Christmas hopefully?
