I have a few minor changes that I'd like to do after 1.8 is released and 
I thought 1.8.1 could be released maybe in september or so (and with STX 
support and games' protections, I expect some cpu prefetch issues or 
similar will need to be fixed).

So, maybe once 1.8 is released we should create a branch to allow your 
SDL2 changes (which might take more time to stabilize) and include this 
in a 1.9 release , but use the branch to create a 1.8.1 release if needed ?

Or maybe you consider the SDL2 changes can be included rapidly and could 
go in a 1.8.1 release ?

It's just about version numbering in the end, so it's not a technical 
issue, but I had in mind to improve winuae cpu core for hatari 1.9 and I 
think it will take some time to do it, so an intermediate release could 
be useful.
