SDL_BlitSurfaceScaled() is more flexible and uses the SDL_SoftStretch() fast path when possible. Having two surface scaling APIs was confusing, especially when one of them has unexpected limitations.
The function can now convert between pixels of different formats, and takes a parameter to control whether the premultiplication is done in sRGB or linear space.
Also added SDL_PremultiplySurfaceAlpha(), which can premultiply the pixels of a surface in-place.
While it makes sense to get an object pointer from an object ID, you want to get object attributes for an ID, otherwise e.g. GetNameFromID() sounds like it's a name ID, not an object ID. This is also consistent with the function naming convention in SDL2.
Turns out that there isn't a strong OpenGL naming convention for "Delete" ...
WGL offers "wglDeleteContext" but the GLX equivalent is "glxDestroyContext"
and then EGL sealed the deal by going with Destroy as well! Since it matches
SDL3 naming conventions (Create/Destroy), we're renaming it.
Fixes#10197.
SDL_Surface has been simplified and internal details are no longer in the public structure.
The `format` member of SDL_Surface is now an enumerated pixel format value. You can get the full details of the pixel format by calling `SDL_GetPixelFormatDetails(surface->format)`. You can get the palette associated with the surface by calling SDL_GetSurfacePalette(). You can get the clip rectangle by calling SDL_GetSurfaceClipRect().
SDL_PixelFormat has been renamed SDL_PixelFormatDetails and just describes the pixel format, it does not include a palette for indexed pixel types.
SDL_PixelFormatEnum has been renamed SDL_PixelFormat and is used instead of Uint32 for API functions that refer to pixel format by enumerated value.
SDL_MapRGB(), SDL_MapRGBA(), SDL_GetRGB(), and SDL_GetRGBA() take an optional palette parameter for indexed color lookups.
This was added to SDL2 for the Unreal Engine's implementation of menus and dialogs on X11, window types for which SDL3 has added built-in, cross-platform support.
Remove this function, as it was only ever implemented for X11 and is now basically useless aside from allowing annoying or malicious client apps to discretely steal focus. As the documentation states: "You almost certainly want SDL_RaiseWindow() instead of this function."
After discussion with @ocornut, SDL_RenderGeometryRaw() will take floating point colors and conversion from 8-bit color can happen on the application side. We can always add an 8-bit color fast path in the future if we need it on handheld platforms.
If you need code to do this in your application, you can use the following:
int SDL_RenderGeometryRaw8BitColor(SDL_Renderer *renderer, SDL_Texture *texture, const float *xy, int xy_stride, const SDL_Color *color, int color_stride, const float *uv, int uv_stride, int num_vertices, const void *indices, int num_indices, int size_indices)
{
int i, retval, isstack;
const Uint8 *color2 = (const Uint8 *)color;
SDL_FColor *color3;
if (num_vertices <= 0) {
return SDL_InvalidParamError("num_vertices");
}
if (!color) {
return SDL_InvalidParamError("color");
}
color3 = (SDL_FColor *)SDL_small_alloc(SDL_FColor, num_vertices, &isstack);
if (!color3) {
return -1;
}
for (i = 0; i < num_vertices; ++i) {
color3[i].r = color->r / 255.0f;
color3[i].g = color->g / 255.0f;
color3[i].b = color->b / 255.0f;
color3[i].a = color->a / 255.0f;
color2 += color_stride;
color = (const SDL_Color *)color2;
}
retval = SDL_RenderGeometryRaw(renderer, texture, xy, xy_stride, color3, sizeof(*color3), uv, uv_stride, num_vertices, indices, num_indices, size_indices);
SDL_small_free(color3, isstack);
return retval;
}

The new function includes the cursor position so IME UI elements can be placed relative to the cursor, as well as having the whole text area available so on-screen keyboards can avoid it.
These are integer values internally, but the API has been changed to make it easier to mix other render code with querying those values.
