While we will accept GitHub pull requests and may release critical fixes, we have no further planned releases of SDL 2.0.

For new development, we recommend starting with SDL 3.0. For projects that need to continue using SDL 2.0, we recommend sdl2-compat which is both ABI (binary drop in) and API compatible.

Many issues in SDL 2.0 have been resolved in sdl2-compat, and if you’re still seeing an issue once you switch, please report it!

Cheers,
