I agree. We should try to increase the frequency. Maybe release 4.4.0 in
a year. The binary compatibility means, if you have a 4.2 DLL, it will
work with any .exe requring a 4.2 DLL (no matter if it is older or
newer). But, yes, changes can only be bug fixes. Still, for 4.0. there
was 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3.. so it has it's usefulness.

Considering that 4.3 will be a major update, probably one the biggest
in Allegro history I don't think 4.4 can be released so soon. Forking
wouldn't probably do any good either.
