If we're adding resize-window support, would this mean breaking ABI

 Yes, it will break ABI compatibility, and I think that the next release should be Allegro 4.5 WIP

Speaking of the 4.4.x branch,  sys_directx_init() in wsystem.c needs to
be updated so that it also detects Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

 

GetVersion and GetVersionEx are deprecated:

There is another set of functions available to detect the operating system:

Anyway at the moment I'll not add anything about that stuff.
