Also renamed most cases of SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_UNKNOWN to SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_STANDARD, and SDL_GetGamepadType() will return SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_UNKNOWN only if the gamepad is invalid.
Also renamed SDL_GetDisplayOrientation() SDL_GetDisplayCurrentOrientation()
The natural orientation of the primary display is the frame of reference for accelerometer and gyro sensor readings.
We have gotten feedback that abstracting the coordinate system based on the display scale is unexpected and it is difficult to adapt existing applications to the proposed API.
The new approach is to provide the coordinate systems that people expect, but provide additional information that will help applications properly handle high DPI situations.
The concepts needed for high DPI support are documented in README-highdpi.md. An example of automatically adapting the content to display scale changes can be found in SDL_test_common.c, where auto_scale_content is checked.
Also, the SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI window flag has been replaced by the SDL_HINT_VIDEO_ENABLE_HIGH_PIXEL_DENSITY hint.

Re-writes the clipboard data handling in wayland to an on demand
solution where callbacks are provided to generate/provide the clipboard
data when requested by the OS.
- SDL_AudioCVT is gone, even internally.
- libsamplerate is gone (I suspect our resampler is finally Good Enough).
- Cleanups and improvements to audio conversion interfaces.
- SDL_AudioStream can change its input/output format/rate/channels on the fly!
It turns out there's a race condition on X11 where the window could be placed by the window manager while being placed by the application, so we need to have the initial position available at window creation.
For SDL dynapi to work, the SDL_DYNAPI_entry symbol must be externally visible.
Adding __attribute__((visibility(default))) would not work
since version scripts override these.
Add the CreatePopupWindow function to allow the creation of child tooltip and menu popup windows. Popup windows must be created as either a tooltip or popup menu and cannot be minimized, maximized, made fullscreen, or grab the mouse.
Child popup windows are tracked and will be recursively hidden, shown, or destroyed in tandem with the parent window.
This function wasn't consistently correct across platforms and devices.
If you want the UI scale factor, you can use display_scale in the structure returned by SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode(). If you need an approximate DPI, you can multiply this value times 160 on iPhone and Android, and 96 on other platforms.
This fixes rounding errors with coordinate scaling and gives more flexibility in the presentation, as well as making it easy to maintain device independent resolution as windows move between different pixel density displays.
By default when a renderer is created, it will match the window size so window coordinates and render coordinates are 1-1.
Mouse and touch events are no longer filtered to change their coordinates, instead you can call SDL_ConvertEventToRenderCoordinates() to explicitly map event coordinates into the rendering viewport.
SDL_RenderWindowToLogical() and SDL_RenderLogicalToWindow() have been renamed SDL_RenderCoordinatesFromWindow() and SDL_RenderCoordinatesToWindow() and take floating point coordinates in both directions.
The viewport, clipping state, and scale for render targets are now persistent and will remain set whenever they are active.
Rather than iterating over display modes using an index, there is a new function SDL_GetFullscreenDisplayModes() to get the list of available fullscreen modes on a display.
{
SDL_DisplayID display = SDL_GetPrimaryDisplay();
int num_modes = 0;
SDL_DisplayMode **modes = SDL_GetFullscreenDisplayModes(display, &num_modes);
if (modes) {
for (i = 0; i < num_modes; ++i) {
SDL_DisplayMode *mode = modes[i];
SDL_Log("Display %" SDL_PRIu32 " mode %d: %dx%d@%gHz, %d%% scale\n",
display, i, mode->pixel_w, mode->pixel_h, mode->refresh_rate, (int)(mode->display_scale * 100.0f));
}
SDL_free(modes);
}
}
SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode() and SDL_GetCurrentDisplayMode() return pointers to display modes rather than filling in application memory.
Windows now have an explicit fullscreen mode that is set, using SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode(). The fullscreen mode for a window can be queried with SDL_GetWindowFullscreenMode(), which returns a pointer to the mode, or NULL if the window will be fullscreen desktop. SDL_SetWindowFullscreen() just takes a boolean value, setting the correct fullscreen state based on the selected mode.
This simplifies the API and removes a level of API translation between the int variants of the functions and the float implementation
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6656
Also cleaned up logic for whether we need to poll for events:
- We need to periodically poll for joysticks to handle hotplug.
- We need to frequently poll for joysticks and sensors when they're open so their state can be updated
This function is useful for accumulating relative mouse motion if you want to only handle whole pixel movement.
e.g.
static float dx_frac, dy_frac;
float dx, dy;
/* Accumulate new motion with previous sub-pixel motion */
dx = event.motion.xrel + dx_frac;
dy = event.motion.yrel + dy_frac;
/* Split the integral and fractional motion, dx and dy will contain whole pixel deltas */
dx_frac = SDL_modff(dx, &dx);
dy_frac = SDL_modff(dy, &dy);
if (dx != 0.0f || dy != 0.0f) {
...
}
Feedback from @icculus:
"IsTablet" uses "is" as a form of "to be" ...like, the actual question is of its nature.
The rest is just a superfluous word in the question and it flows as better English with if (RectEmpty) than if (IsRectEmpty)

SDL_GameControllerEventState has been replaced with SDL_SetGamepadEventsEnabled() and SDL_GamepadEventsEnabled()
SDL_JoystickEventState has been replaced with SDL_SetJoystickEventsEnabled() and SDL_JoystickEventsEnabled()
SDL_ShowCursor() has been split into three functions: SDL_ShowCursor(), SDL_HideCursor(), and SDL_CursorVisible()

Instead of indexing into an internal list of devices which requires locking, we return a list of device IDs which can then be queried individually.

makes the SDL_main code shorter
Also added a generic SDL_RunApp() implementation for platforms that
don't really need it.
Some platforms (that use SDL_main but haven't been ported yet) are
still missing, but are added in the following commits.
(remaining platforms will follow)
SDL_main.h is *not* included by SDL.h anymore, users are supposed to
include it directly now, usually only in the file they implement main() in.
If they need the header elsewhere or don't want SDL_main to implement
main() (but only call SDL_SetMainReady() or whatever), they
can #define SDL_MAIN_HANDLED first, same as before.
For SDL-internal usage, I added _SDL_MAIN_NOIMPL, which *also* skips the
implementation and `#define main SDL_main`, but still defines
SDL_MAIN_AVAILABLE and SDL_MAIN_NEEDED in SDL_main.h, as before.
To make the implementaion in the header shorter and avoid including windows.h,
I moved most of the Win32 SDL_main code into SDL3.dll via SDL_Win32RunApp(),
so the header-only part is just the different main functions calling
SDL_Win32RunApp(SDL_main, NULL)
Note that I changed changed the return value and type of OutOfMemory()
to return -1 instead of FALSE, so main() (or WinMain() or whatever)
returns -1 instead of 0 in case of an out-of-memory error
Compared to original Win32 SDL_main, I tweaked the part of the
implementation in SDL_main_impl.h a bit to avoid linker warnings
and conflicts with stuff from windows.h:
- replaced windows.h with own define of WINAPI
and typedef-ing HINSTANCE and LPSTR.
This prevents conflicts between all the generically-named #defines and
types in windows.h and user code (like DrawState in some SDL tests)
- only using one of main() or wmain() gets rid of a MSVC linker error
("warning LNK4067: ambiguous entry point")
If this still causes problems, we might try getting rid of wmain(),
seemed to me like MSVC can use regular main() in UNICODE mode as well
- simplified the UNICODE logic for that - while this is not exactly
equivalent to the old, it should make sense and Works For Me
If you care about timestamps you'll also want to catch all of the sensor events instead of just polling the current state. For example, Nintendo Switch controllers generate 3 sensor events with distinct values for each polling interval.
If a program built against one version of SDL is run in an
environment where there is an earlier version of the SDL .so library
installed, the result varies depending on platform configuration; in
the best case, it won't start at all, at worst it aborts in the
middle of the user doing "something important" (systems implementing
lazy symbol resolution). verdefs on the other hand are always checked
on startup.
The dependency information present in programs and shared libraries
is not only of value to the dynamic linker, but also to a
distribution's package management. If the dynamic linker is able to
tell that a program is not runnable per the above, a package manager
is able to come to the same conclusion — and block the installation
of a nonfunctional program+library ensemble.
Because there are a lot more symbols than there are libraries (I am
going to throw in "10^4 to 1 or worse"), package managers generally
do not evaluate symbols, but only e.g. the SONAME, NEEDED and VERNEED
fields/blocks. Because the SONAME is the same between two SDL
versions like 2.0.24, and 2.0.26, everything rests on having verdefs.
This patch proposes the addition of verdefs.
