Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed
|
||||
to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics
|
||||
hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software,
|
||||
emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog
|

and many Humble Bundle games.

|
||||
3.1.0:
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
General:
|
||||
* SDL headers should now be included as `#include <SDL3/SDL.h>`
|
||||
* Many functions and symbols have changed since SDL 2.0, see the [migration guide](docs/README-migration.md) for details
|
||||
* The preprocessor symbol __MACOSX__ has been renamed SDL_PLATFORM_MACOS
|
||||
* The preprocessor symbol __IPHONEOS__ has been renamed SDL_PLATFORM_IOS
|
||||
* SDL_stdinc.h no longer includes stdio.h, stdlib.h, etc., it only provides the SDL C runtime functionality
|
||||
* SDL_intrin.h now includes the intrinsics headers that were in SDL_cpuinfo.h
|
||||
* Added SDL_GetSystemTheme() to return whether the system is using a dark or light color theme, and SDL_EVENT_SYSTEM_THEME_CHANGED is sent when this changes
|
||||
* Added SDL_GetDisplays() to return a list of connected displays
|
||||
* Added SDL_GetPrimaryDisplay() to get the instance ID of the primary display
|
||||
* Added SDL_GetWindowParent() to get the parent of popup windows
|
||||
* Added SDL_CreateSurface() and SDL_CreateSurfaceFrom() which replace SDL_CreateRGBSurface*(), and can also be used to create YUV surfaces
|
||||
* Added SDL_FlipSurface() to flip a surface vertically or horizontally
|
||||
* Added SDL_GetJoysticks(), SDL_GetJoystickInstanceName(), SDL_GetJoystickInstancePath(), SDL_GetJoystickInstancePlayerIndex(), SDL_GetJoystickInstanceGUID(), SDL_GetJoystickInstanceVendor(), SDL_GetJoystickInstanceProduct(), SDL_GetJoystickInstanceProductVersion(), and SDL_GetJoystickInstanceType() to directly query the list of available joysticks
|
||||
* Added SDL_GetGamepads(), SDL_GetGamepadInstanceName(), SDL_GetGamepadInstancePath(), SDL_GetGamepadInstancePlayerIndex(), SDL_GetGamepadInstanceGUID(), SDL_GetGamepadInstanceVendor(), SDL_GetGamepadInstanceProduct(), SDL_GetGamepadInstanceProductVersion(), and SDL_GetGamepadInstanceType() to directly query the list of available gamepads
|
||||
* Added SDL_GetSensors(), SDL_GetSensorInstanceName(), SDL_GetSensorInstanceType(), and SDL_GetSensorInstanceNonPortableType() to directly query the list of available sensors
|
||||
* Added SDL_GetJoystickCaps() and SDL_GetGamepadCaps() to get the capabilities of controllers
|
||||
* SDL_GetTicks() now returns a 64-bit value and the tick values should be directly compared instead of using the SDL_TICKS_PASSED macro
|
||||
* Added SDL_GetTicksNS() to return the number of nanoseconds since the SDL library initialized
|
||||
* Added SDL_DelayNS() to specify a delay in nanoseconds, to the highest precision the system will support
|
||||
* The timestamp member of the SDL_Event structure is now in nanoseconds, filled in with the time the event was generated, or the time it was queued if that's not available
|
||||
* Added SDL_modf() and SDL_modff() to separate the whole and fractional portions of a floating point number
|
||||
* Added SDL_aligned_alloc() and SDL_aligned_free() to allocate and free memory with a given alignment
|
||||
* Added SDL_GetRenderVSync() to get vsync of the given renderer
|
||||
* Added SDL_PlayAudioDevice() to start audio playback
|
||||
* Added SDL_ConvertAudioSamples() to convert audio samples from one format to another
|
||||
* Added the hint SDL_HINT_ANDROID_ALLOW_RECREATE_ACTIVITY to control re-creation of Android SDL activity.
|
||||
* Added the environment variable SDL_LOGGING to control default log output
|
||||
This is a preview release of the new SDL 3.0 API.
|
||||
|
||||
The ABI hasn't been locked down yet, but it's fairly stable and feedback is welcome!
|
||||
|
||||
Check out [migration guide](docs/README-migration.md) for details on API changes since SDL 2.0, and tips on transitioning your code from SDL2 code to SDL3.
|
||||
|
||||
There have been too many changes to list them all, but here are some of the highlights:
|
||||
* The API has been significantly reworked to be easier to use and more consistent
|
||||
* The 2D rendering API now has support for more advanced colorspaces and HDR rendering
|
||||
* The 2D rendering API now has a Vulkan backend
|
||||
* An example of hardware accelerated video playback using ffmpeg has been added in test/testffmpeg.c
|
||||
* The shaped window API has been replaced with transparent windows
|
||||
* Time and date functions have been added in SDL_time.h
|
||||
* Support for webcam video capture has been added in SDL_camera.h
|
||||
* Support for handling pens and tablets has been added in SDL_pen.h
|
||||
* Support for file open and save dialogs has been added in SDL_dialog.h
|
||||
* Cross-platform functions for working with files and directories are available in SDL_filesystem.h
|
||||
* A cross-platform abstraction for working with user and game data has been added in SDL_storage.h
|
||||
* Handling of main() has been moved to a header library and an optional callback-based program flow is available
|
||||
* Support for simple object properties has been added in SDL_properties.h. These properties are available on many SDL objects, and can be used for more advanced functionality.

git
|

=========
|

|
||||
The latest development version of SDL is available via git.
|
||||
Git allows you to get up-to-the-minute fixes and enhancements;
|
||||
as a developer works on a source tree, you can use "git" to mirror that
|
||||
source tree instead of waiting for an official release. Please look
|
||||
at the Git website ( https://git-scm.com/ ) for more
|
||||
information on using git, where you can also download software for
|
||||
macOS, Windows, and Unix systems.

|
||||
git clone https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL
|

If you are building SDL via configure, you will need to run autogen.sh
|
||||
before running configure.
