Windows: * Added support for Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 10/UWP (Universal Windows Platform) * Timer resolution is now 1 ms by default, adjustable with the SDL_HINT_TIMER_RESOLUTION hint * SDLmain no longer depends on the C runtime, so you can use the same .lib in both Debug and Release builds * Added SDL_SetWindowsMessageHook() to set a function to be called for every windows message before TranslateMessage() * Added a hint SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_ENABLE_MESSAGELOOP to control whether SDL_PumpEvents() processes the Windows message loop * You can distinguish between real mouse and touch events by looking for SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID in the mouse event "which" field * SDL_SysWMinfo now contains the window HDC * Added support for Unicode command line options * Prevent beeping when Alt-key combos are pressed * SDL_SetTextInputRect() re-positions the OS-rendered IME * Added a hint SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_NO_CLOSE_ON_ALT_F4 to prevent generating SDL_WINDOWEVENT_CLOSE events when Alt-F4 is pressed * Added a

SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI window flag now enables high-dpi support, and SDL_GL_GetDrawableSize() or SDL_GetRendererOutputSize() gets the window resolution in pixels * SDL_GetWindowSize() and display mode sizes are in the "DPI-independent points" / "screen coordinates" coordinate space rather than pixels (matches OS X behavior) * Added native resolution support for the iPhone 6 Plus * Added

now create/manage OpenGL and OpenGL ES 1.x/2.x contexts, and share them using SDL_GL_SHARE_WITH_CURRENT_CONTEXT * Added a field "clicks" to the mouse button event which records whether the event is a single click, double click, etc. * The screensaver is now disabled by default, and there is a hint SDL_HINT_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER that can change that behavior. * Added a hint SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_MODE_WARP to specify whether mouse relative mode should be emulated using mouse warping. * testgl2 does not need to link with libGL anymore * Added testgles2 test program to

render targets are reset after the device has been restored. Mac OS X: * Added a hint SDL_HINT_MAC_CTRL_CLICK_EMULATE_RIGHT_CLICK to control whether Ctrl+click should be treated as a right click on Mac OS X. This is off by default. Linux: * Fixed fullscreen and focused behavior when receiving NotifyGrab events * Added experimental Wayland and Mir support, disabled by default Android: * Joystick support (minimum SDK version required to build SDL is now 12, the required runtime version remains at 10, but on such devices joystick support won't be available). * Hotplugging support for joysticks * Added a hint SDL_HINT_ACCELEROMETER_AS_JOYSTICK to control whether the accelerometer should be listed as a 3 axis joystick, which it will by default. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.0.1: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- General: * Added an API to get common filesystem paths in SDL_filesystem.h: SDL_GetBasePath(), SDL_GetPrefPath() * Added an API to do optimized YV12 and IYUV texture updates: SDL_UpdateYUVTexture() * Added an API to get the amount of RAM on the system: SDL_GetSystemRAM() * Added a macro to perform timestamp comparisons with SDL_GetTicks(): SDL_TICKS_PASSED() * Dramatically improved OpenGL ES 2.0 rendering performance * Added OpenGL attribute SDL_GL_FRAMEBUFFER_SRGB_CAPABLE Windows: * Created a static library configuration for the Visual Studio 2010 project * Added a hint to create the Direct3D device with support for multi-threading: SDL_HINT_RENDER_DIRECT3D_THREADSAFE * Added a function to get the D3D9 adapter index for a display: SDL_Direct3D9GetAdapterIndex() * Added a function to get the D3D9 device for a D3D9 renderer: SDL_RenderGetD3D9Device() * Fixed building SDL with the mingw32 toolchain (mingw-w64 is preferred) * Fixed crash when using two XInput controllers at the same time * Fixed detecting a mixture of XInput and DirectInput controllers * Fixed clearing a D3D render target larger than the window * Improved support for format specifiers in SDL_snprintf() Mac OS X: * Added support for retina displays: Create your window with the SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI flag, and then use SDL_GL_GetDrawableSize() to find the actual drawable size. You are responsible for scaling mouse and drawing coordinates appropriately. * Fixed mouse warping in fullscreen mode * Right mouse click is emulated by holding the Ctrl key while left clicking Linux: * Fixed float audio support with the PulseAudio driver * Fixed missing line endpoints in the OpenGL renderer on some drivers * X11 symbols are no longer defined to avoid collisions when linking statically iOS: * Fixed status bar visibility on iOS 7 * Flipped the accelerometer Y axis to match expected values Android: IMPORTANT: You MUST get the updated SDLActivity.java to match C code * Moved EGL initialization to native code * Fixed the accelerometer axis rotation relative to the device rotation * Fixed race conditions when handling the EGL context on pause/resume * Touch devices are available for enumeration immediately after init Raspberry Pi: * Added support for the Raspberry Pi, see README-raspberrypi.txt for details
