[SDL] firefox

[Abhinav Lele]

is multiple windows a feature that has already been coded in SDL 1.3 .
I was trying out this SDL plugin because I need it for this project
http://code.google.com/p/openanimator/  ( discussion group:
http://groups.google.com/group/openanimator ) .

Thanks Gabry for the info that SDL cannot render in multiple windows.

any idea of when SDL 1.3 is going to be released ?
