One thing I'd like to know about SDL 1.3: Is it going to finally remove
the restriction that SDL functions can only be called from the main
thread? SDL's strong orientation to an old-fashioned, single-threaded,
event-driven architecture is the reason I'm currently investigating
alternative libraries. It's just getting more and more painful trying to
reconcile SDL with a heavily multithreaded application.
I could live with restricting all SDL calls to a single thread if I had
to, if only it didn't have to be the main thread. Is there any prospect
of some relief on the horizon?
