Looks fine to me, if so.
Allegro 5.2 merges the unstable with the stable branch. It breaks API and requires applications to define “ALLEGRO_UNSTABLE” to use unstable features. Allegro 5.0.11 is the last of the stable releases and the last to use the pkg-config identifier “allegro-5.0”, which some applications look for. I’m not sure if this is enough to justify keeping 5.0 or if we should patch the configure scripts of applications that look for “allegro-5.0”. ~~ Ricardo
