I think you are confused: there was never a 2.8 release. Allegro versions went 2.1, 2.11, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, 3.11, and the current development releases are numbered 3.9.x, where x has been growing upwards from 1 and has now reached 18. > The reason I want this is because I have got a program that worked > fine with the old version of the library but when I compile with the > new version it crashes. Rather than just going back to an old library version, why not try to debug this problem and find out what is going wrong? Perhaps the new Allegro drivers don't like your machine, in which case you may need to edit your config files: use the Allegro test programs to check whether the library itself is working ok. Or perhaps it is a bug in your program that just didn't happen to show up before, in which case it would be better to fix it, because if you ignore them, such problems have a habit of cropping up again later on in a project and causing lots of trouble. Or perhaps it is a bug in the newer library code, in which case it would be useful for you to debug it so that we can get this fixed. Can you give some more info about what Allegro version you are now using, what version you had before, and exactly what your program does? Shawn Hargreaves.
