Release for SDL3?

[Midar]

Hi!

Currently, the lack of SDL3_mixer is preventing some games to be ported to SDL3. It's been a while since SDL3 has been released, will there be an SDL3-compatible SDL_mixer any time soon?

SDL3_Mixer is still in the design phase.
You can follow the progress, and give feedback, in #662

(I'm going to keep this issue open and pin it to give it more visible)

A new design and API is nice. But in the meantime, would it be possible to have an SDL3-compatible SDL2_mixer, maybe?

SDL_mixer's current main branch can be built with SDL3.
We have not created a release for this branch because we promise API and ABI compatibility: no breaking changes are allowed.

What I mean is: Can SDL2_mixer (with the SDL2_mixer API/ABI) be made to work with SDL3 so that the lack of SDL3_mixer does not prevent porting efforts to SDL3? Porting from SDL2_mixer to SDL3_mixer could then be done at a later time. But the current state is: Every project using SDL_mixer is currently unable to port to SDL3 for the lack of any SDL3 compatible SDL_mixer.

Actual work on the new api for SDL3_mixer is done in an external repo.
So the api of the current (can't promise anything about the future) main branch is very similar to the SDL2_mixer api.
