Re: [AD] Allegro 4.4, Yosemite, and Quartz 2D

[<beoran@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tobias, to be blunt with you, I'd love to see someone like you take
over Allegro 4.4 maintenance. David is not the only one who still uses
Allegro 4, and although I'd rather people upgrade to Allegro 5, I
understand that it's not always something that can be done immediately
for existing projects. We could definitely use people like you to do
more regular maintenace on the 4.4 branch...

Kind Regards,

Bjorn.
