# SDL 2.0 Information & Support

## SDL2 is deprecated

We still accept patches and bug reports for SDL2, and will provide help where possible, but focus has shifted to [SDL3](/SDL3) at this point. The rest of this document might still be useful if you're staying on SDL2, though.


## Information Sources

Although there is some overlap between SDL version 1.2 and 2.0, the information in this wiki is specifically for SDL version 2.0. SDL 1.2 is deprecated and not recommended for new projects.

For help switching over from version 1.2 to 2.0 check out this [Migration Guide](MigrationGuide).
