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

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)
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6932
`SDL_QUERY`, `SDL_IGNORE`, `SDL_ENABLE`, and `SDL_DISABLE` have been removed.
SDL_EventState() has been replaced with SDL_SetEventEnabled()
SDL_GetEventState() has been replaced with SDL_EventEnabled()
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.

You can rename APIs using rename.py and all the code and documentation will be updated, and entries will be added to WhatsNew.txt and docs/README-migration.md.
e.g.
rename.py SDL_foo.h function SDL_CreateFoo SDL_FooCreate
SDL_oldnames.h is included in the SDL header, and if you define SDL_ENABLE_OLD_NAMES, will redefine the old API functions to call the new ones, and if not, will define them as a symbol letting you what the new API function is.
