This changes the API in various ways, and updates the backends for this.
Overall, this is a massive simplification of the API, as most future backends
can't support the previously-offered API.
This also removes the testautomation pen code (not only did these interfaces
change completely, it also did something no other test did: mock the internal
API), and replaces testpen.c with a different implementation (the existing
code was fine, it was just easier to start from scratch than update it).
Although BSCMAKE is still installed with Visual Studio,
it is no longer used by the IDE.
Since Visual Studio 2008, browse and symbol information is stored
automatically in a SQL Server .sdf file in the solution folder.
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.
- Add a globally-accessible function to handle the parsing of filter extensions
- Remove the ability of putting the wildcard ('*') among other patterns; it's either a list of patterns or a single '*' now
- Add a hint to select between portals and Zenity on Unix
Adds functions to query the system's realtime clock, convert time intervals to/from a calendar date and time in either UTC or the local time, and perform time related calculations.
An SDL_Time type (a time interval represented in nanoseconds), and SDL_DateTime struct (broken down calendar date and time) were added to facilitate this functionality.
Querying the system time results in a value expressed in nanoseconds since the Unix epoch (Jan 1, 1970) in UTC +0000. Conversions to and from the various platform epochs and units are performed when required.
Any direct handling of timezones and DST were intentionally avoided. The offset from UTC is provided when converting from UTC to a local time by calculating the difference between the original UTC and the resulting local time, but no other timezone or DST information is used.
The preferred date formatting and 12/24 hour time for the system locale can be retrieved via global preferences.
Helper functions for obtaining the day of week or day or year for calendar date, and getting the number of days in a month in a given year are provided for convenience. These are simple, but useful for performing various time related calculations.
An automated test for time conversion is included, as is a simple standalone test to display the current system date and time onscreen along with a calendar, the rendering of which demonstrates the use of the utility functions (press up/down to increment or decrement the current month, and keys 1-5 to change the date and time formats).
This refers to the HID Simple Haptics spec, which is currently only implemented by the Surface Dial accessory and WMR game controllers, which aren't currently exposed by the GameInput API.
We can add support for other effects in the future, but for now we don't need this or the SDL_gameinputjoystick_c.h header.
Modern C runtimes have well optimized memset and memcpy, so use those instead of dispatching into SDL's versions. In addition, some compilers can analyze memset and memcpy calls and directly turn them into optimized assembly.
