Re: [AD] 4.2.2 schedule

["Matthew Leverton" <meffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If they haven't already, the patches on
<http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/591863> can be applied to add DMC
support. Some of the stuff (namely the addition of the DllMain
function and the edited fix* scripts) should be critiqued, but the
majority of the patch is just new stuff that only affects DMC.

The DMC support is good enough for a RC. (Except it still needs to be
documented.) I think there's a problem with the pack file routines
that will need to be sorted out before the final release. But it would
be helpful to have the DMC support in an easy to access RC so that
others will test it.

I'll send MSVC projects file to the list later this week.

At some point, I'll make the scripts that generate them available as
well. However, considering their complexity (it's a project of itself)
and the dependency on PHP, I don't see any reason for the project file
generating scripts to be added to the Allegro distribution.
