I've uploaded 2.6.1 to experimental and should appear once it's approved
by the ftp-masters.

As the libraries were renamed, there needs to be a "library transition"
before it can enter unstable and the main release. How long that takes
depends on whether the other packages in Debian that depend on SFML need
changing or not. The is the current list. I haven't tried them with
2.6.1 yet.

dolphin-emu
extremetuxracer
libcsfml
marsshooter
python-sfml
seriousproton

Thanks,
James

Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

My name is Chris Thrasher and I help maintain SFML. I'm requesting libsfml-dev 
be upgraded to the latest release of SFML, version 2.6.1. It was just released 
a few days ago and includes 5+ years worth of improvements to SFML since 2.5.1 
was released in 2018.

Thanks,

Chris
