Dear all,

I’m happy to announce a brand new version of [Bogue](https://github.com/sanette/bogue), version 20240928, now availble on `opam`.

Changes are mostly under the hood. We have nice improvements by @edwin : automatic monitor vsync is now enabled by default, for smoother animations, and most importantly **we finally align with the latest version of `tsdl`**. It will simplify maintenance, but it also implies that **too old versions of SDL will not work anymore**. On the other hand we were kind of obliged to move forward, because `tsdl.0.9.8` won’t install on `ocaml 5.2`.

- if you’re on Ubuntu 20.04, installing Bogue with `opam install bogue` will by default pull `tsdl.1.1.0` in, which requires SDL \>= 2.0.18, not shipped by the OS. A workaround is to explicitly require `opam install tsdl.1.0.0` (or manually installing a newer SDL)
- if your OS ships SDL \< 2.0.10 you have no other choice than manually installing a newer [SDL](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/tag/release-2.30.7) (which is not that complicated)

Happy bogue-ing!
