Allegro

[GadgetGeek]

Not a DOS/WinCab question really, but I know you are a big fan (and contributor) of Allegro.  I recently restarted an old programming project of mine and noticed that quite a few updates have come out since the (some version from 2003 4.01 or 4.1.3?) version I'm currently using.  I started reading the release notes last night and I was soon overwhelmed.  Obviously if my project is going to go forward, I should update versions.
Can you in a nutshell comment on "major" changes from 4.1.3 or so?  Many API changes or mostly internals?  One function that caught my eye was ustrncmpi since I've had issues with strncmpi being named slightly differently between compilers I've played with.  I plan on spending some time on Allegro's forums catching back up too, but I was hoping you could give me a 30-second update on the major changes.
Thanks

Kind of hard to summarize three years worth of updates!  No giant features added, though... a lot of stability fixes, text and font handling stuff, config file handling... but nothing big like a network API or new 3D stuff or anything like that.  Your old code will probably run fine without any changes.
