+==============================================
+
+Core
+
+- Add a compatibility config option, `keyboard_version=xx.yy.zz` as well as the

+- Optimize inverse transformations. (SiegeLord)
+
+- Fix the handling of the new window title in `ALLEGRO_STATE` (#1562)
+  (Alexandre Martins)

+  enable logging on release builds. (SiegeLord)

+- Add `al_ref_info` to convert `ALLEGRO_USTR_INFO` to `ALLEGRO_USTR`
+  (SiegeLord)
+
+- Add `al_get_display_adapter` (#1578) (SiegeLord)

+Acodec addon:
+

+  maintained. You can use the compatibility config option `acodec_prefer_dumb`

+    - Support for MIME types on MacOS
+    - Remove the implicit catch-all pattern on Windows (the "All files

+    - Improve documentation overall
