You're right. The WIP is the next step between 2.2 and (hopefully) 3.0.
If you want to play midi files in your games it's worth getting the last wip
which has an AWE driver. Music sounds much cooler with an AWE know.
And then, there are some speed optimizations, i.e.the demo program works
faster for me, no more jerky SVGA scrolling.
Get it from where you should have downloaded Allegro (just go to the wip
section):
