68777406	2020-05-20T16:58:33	windows: Fix calls to CoCreateInstance() so last parameter is a LPVOID *.
65ad4534	2020-05-04T13:17:43	Improvement for bug 3446 - The haptic API does not allow to select the direction axes meyraud705 I see how the documentation is confusing. I think that the choice of the axis is an implementation detail. The documentation should state the goal of this value, so I propose this wording: "Use this value to play an effect on the steering wheel axis. This provides better compatibility across platforms and devices as SDL will guess the correct axis." Value could even be renamed 'SDL_HAPTIC_STEERING_AXIS'. For Linux, sending an effect on the X axis with a Logitech wheel works. Others brands don't have driver for Linux as far as I know.
73799917	2020-03-16T13:28:38	Fixed bug 3446 - The haptic API does not allow to select the direction axes Mathieu Laurendeau Consider a device supporting effects on multiple axes. There's currently no way to play effects against a single-axis direction. A device supporting effects against X and Y may not allow to play effects with a two-axis direction coordinate, even if one of the coordinates is null. My current (ugly) work around for this is to add a direction type SDL_HAPTIC_X_FORCE to play effects against a X-axis only direction (patch attached). This issue impacted two GIMX users using the following wheels: - Leo Bodnar SimSteering force feedback wheel - Accuforce direct drive wheel Playing constant/spring/damper effects against a X-axis direction worked well for the first wheel, but not for the second one. A better strategy seems to play the effects against the first axis reported by the DirectInput enumeration. This strategy also works with Logitech wheels (at least the DFGT). It's been more than a year that I have the latest patch (playing effects against the first axis only) in the GIMX software. It's being used by thousands of people, mostly for adapting their FFB wheel to the PS4. I had no report that proves this strategy to be wrong.

a21a227a	2016-10-04T03:50:28	Fixed bug 3021 - HapticOpenFromJoystick() problems Joe Thompson With Direct Input device (MOMO Steering Wheel w/FF) with SDL 2.0.3, SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick() would fail. (Can't set exclusive mode) Now with 2.0.4 rc1, SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick() succeeds but the the returned SDL_Haptic* cannot be used. Calls to SDL_HapticNewEffect() fail with "Haptic error Unable to create effect" If SDL_HapticOpen() is used instead of HapticOpenFromJoystick(), the device is usable. Calls to HapticNewEffect() succeed with the exact same parameters as the previous failing call. I have attached a proposed patch for this issue. When using SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick(), the original code did not (re)enumerate the axes. This returned a new haptic device with 0 axes. Later, when a new effect is created, SDL_SYS_SetDirection() would set the flags to include DIEFF_SPHERICAL, regardless of what the caller actually set. (see Line 566 in SDL_dinputhaptic.c). This would cause the SDL_HapticNewEffect() to fail (or interpret the coordinates incorreclty.) The patch moves the call to IDirectInputDevice8_EnumObjects() outside of the if() block so that the axes are (re)enumerated for the new haptic device. Note: For steering wheels it is common for the joystick to have multiple axes (ie steering, throttle, brake), but the haptic portion of the joystick usually only applies to steering.

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().

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
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.
