Ryan C. Gordon 351d6d47 2017-12-06T12:24:32 audio: Port WASAPI to WinRT, remove XAudio2 backend. XAudio2 doesn't have capture support, so WASAPI was to replace it; the holdout was WinRT, which still needed it as its primary audio target until the WASAPI code code be made to work. The support matrix now looks like: WinXP: directsound by default, winmm as a fallback for buggy drivers. Vista+: WASAPI (directsound and winmm as fallbacks for debugging). WinRT: WASAPI

David Ludwig 441359bd 2016-05-14T23:29:49 WinRT: workaround a possible Windows bug, whereby hiding cursors, disables mouse-moved events This workaround, unfortunately, requires that apps directly link to a set of Win32-style cursor resource files (that contain a transparent cursor image). Copies of suitable resource files are in src/core/winrt/, and should be included directly in an app's MSVC project. A rough explanation of this workaround/hack, and why it's needed (and seemingly can't be done through programmatic means), is in this change's code.
David Ludwig 46851a67 2016-04-17T22:56:20 WinRT: another README tweak
David Ludwig 937ae32c 2016-04-17T22:54:45 WinRT: README tweaks
David Ludwig 25abce51 2015-11-29T19:33:11 WinRT: added Win10/UWP (Universal Windows Platform) support "UWP" appears to be Microsoft's new name for WinRT/Windows-Store APIs. This set of changes updates SDL's WinRT backends to support the Win10 flavor of WinRT. It has been tested on Win10 on a desktop. In theory, it should also support Win10 on other devices (phone, Xbox One, etc.), however further patches may be necessary. This adds: - a set of MSVC 2015 project files, for use in creating UWP apps - modifications to various pieces of SDL, in order to compile via MSVC 2015 + the Win10 API set - enables SDL_Window resizing and programmatic-fullscreen toggling, when using the WinRT backend - WinRT README updates
Philipp Wiesemann 0e45984f 2015-06-21T17:33:46 Fixed crash if initialization of EGL failed but was tried again later. The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
Ryan C. Gordon b72938c8 2015-04-20T12:22:44 Windows: Always set the system timer resolution to 1ms by default. An existing hint lets apps that don't need the timer resolution changed avoid this, to save battery, etc, but this fixes several problems in timing, audio callbacks not firing fast enough, etc. Fixes Bugzilla #2944.
Alex Szpakowski fe6c797c 2015-04-10T23:30:31 Fixed an iOS view orientation issue when SDL_GL_CreateContext or SDL_CreateRenderer is called.
David Ludwig 1110f536 2015-03-18T12:03:32 WinRT: updated names, and references-to, various ANGLE/WinRT repositories
Edward Rudd b88ca1b4 2015-02-10T16:28:56 the last parameter of XChangeProperty is the number of elements.. and when the element format is 32.. the element is "long" so we have 5 long elements here. Yes this seems confusing as on mac+linux Long is either 32 or 64bits depending on the architecture, but this is how the X11 protocol is defined. Thus 5 is the correct value for the nelts here. Not 5 or 10 depending on the architecture. More info on the confusion https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16802
David Ludwig 78f3a80c 2015-02-08T15:44:15 WinRT: made note that VSync is always enabled on WinPhone, due to OS Windows Phone does not appear to allow VSync to be turned off. Doing so appears to either result in content not getting drawn (when the D3D debug runtime is turned off), or forcing VSync back on and logging an error (when the D3D debug runtime is turned on). VSync had been getting turned on anyways, this change just notes such: - via the WinRT README - by always setting the SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC flag when creating an SDL_Renderer on Windows Phone
Philipp Wiesemann b48e54aa 2015-01-26T22:00:29 Fixed bug 2802 - [patch] Fix android build compiling in wrong filesystem implementation Jonas Kulla The configure script didn't differentiate between Linux and Android, unconditionally compiling in the unix implementation of SDL_sysfilesystem.c. I'm probably one of the very few people building SDL for android using classic configure + standalone toolchain, so this has gone undetected all along.
David Ludwig 70438be2 2014-12-03T10:55:23 WinRT: fixed bug whereby SDL would override an app's default orientation WinRT apps can set a default, preferred orientation via a .appxmanifest file. SDL was overriding this on app startup, and making the app use all possible orientations (landscape and portrait). Thanks to Eric Wing for the heads up on this!
David Ludwig 5fee84f2 2014-12-02T21:18:50 WinRT: removed SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT (introduced post-2.0.3 & pre-2.0.4) A WinRT app's Roaming folder-path can still be retrieved via calls to SDL_WinRTGetFSPathUTF8() or SDL_WinRTGetFSPathUNICODE(), if need be.
David Ludwig ce64b4ad 2014-11-29T10:09:30 WinRT: bug and data-integrity fixes for SDL_GetPrefPath() This change does a few things, all with regards to the WinRT implementation of SDL_GetPrefPath(): 1. it fixes a bug whereby SDL_GetPrefPath() did not create the directory it returned. On other SDL platforms, SDL_GetPrefPath() will create separate directories for its 'org' and 'app' folders. Without this, attempts to create files in the pref-path would fail, unless those directories were first created by the app, or by some other library the app used. This change makes sure that these directories get created, before SDL_GetPrefPath() returns to its caller(s). 2. it defaults to having SDL_GetPrefPath() return a WinRT 'Local' folder on all platforms. Previously, for Windows Store apps, it would have used a different, 'Roaming' folder. Files in Roaming folders can be automatically, and synchronized across multiple devices by Windows. This synchronization can happen while the app runs, with new files being copied into a running app's pref-path. Unless an app is specifically designed to handle this scenario, there is a chance that save-data could be overwritten in unwanted or unexpected ways. The default is now to use a Local folder, which does not get synchronized, and which is arguably a bit safer to use. Apps that wish to use Roaming folders can do so by setting SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT to "roaming", however it is recommended that one first read Microsoft's documentation for Roaming files, a link to which is provided in README-winrt.md. To preserve older pref-path selection behavior (found in SDL 2.0.3, as well as many pre-2.0.4 versions of SDL from hg.libsdl.org), which uses a Roaming path in Windows Store apps, and a Local path in Windows Phone, set SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT to "old". Please note that Roaming paths are not supported on Windows Phone 8.0, due to limitations in the OS itself. Attempts to use this will fail. (Windows Phone 8.1 does not have this limitation, however.) 3. It makes SDL_GetPrefPath(), when on Windows Phone 8.0, and when SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT is set to "roaming", return NULL, rather than silently defaulting to a Local path (then switching to a Roaming path if and when the user upgraded to Windows Phone 8.1).
David Ludwig ecc01474 2014-11-27T09:55:34 WinRT: added SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT allows WinRT apps to alter the path that SDL_GetPrefPath() returns. Setting it to "local" uses the app's OS-defined Local folder, setting it to "roaming" uses the app's OS-defined Roaming folder. Roaming folder support is not available in Windows Phone 8.0. Attempts to make SDL_GetPrefPath() return a Roaming folder on this OS will be ignored. Various bits of documentation on this were added to SDL_hints.h, and to README-winrt.md

Pierre-Loup A. Griffais 24c86b55 2014-09-11T19:24:42 [X11] Reconcile logical keyboard state with physical state on FocusIn since the window system doesn't do it for us like other platforms. This prevents sticky keys and missed keys when going in and out of focus, for example Alt would appear to stick if switching away from an SDL app with Alt-Tab and had to be pressed again. CR: Sam
Sam Lantinga e76fecc4 2014-07-29T08:04:15 Moved documentation to docs, recreated a simple README.txt, fixed build
