Any plans releasing a stable 2.6 version?

[vanka78bg]

Hello all,

The current official release of SFML is 2.5.1, which is from the distant 2018. There are a lot of additions to the library since then, which are planned for the upcoming 2.6 version. I am more specifically interested in Vulkan support, which is already merged in the main repository since 2019. I know, I can build from source, but I would prefer to work against a stable version of the library. For this reason, I would like to ask: do you have any plans to release a stable 2.6 version in the foreseeable future, or I should continue working with my custom builds from source?

Regards,
Ivan

Yes, the plan is to release it, as soon as the Scancode feature has been merged.
There are outstanding review comments that I need to implement and additional testing.

The progress of the release can also be seen here: https://github.com/SFML/SFML/projects/4

Thanks!

This is some good news to hear. I am currently using a nightly build, so I am not blocked for the time being.

PS: Great work with the library, by the way!

Regards,
Ivan
