Sam Lantinga 54748a39 2019-12-08T11:33:06 Fixed bug 4890 - Add hint for SDL that the graphics context is externally managed Aaron Barany Add SDL_HINT_VIDEO_EXTERNAL_CONTEXT hint to notify SDL that the graphics context is external. This disables the automatic context save/restore behavior on Android and avoids using OpenGL by default when SDL_WINDOW_VUKLAN isn't set. When the application wishes to manage the OpenGL contexts on Android, this avoids cases where SDL unbinds the context and creates new contexts, which can interfere with the application's operation. When using Vulkan and Metal renderer implementations, this avoids SDL forcing OpenGL to be enabled on certain platforms. While using the SDL_WINDOW_VULKAN flag can be used to achieve the same thing, it also causes Vulkan to be loaded. If the application uses Vulkan directly, this is not necessary, and fails window creation when using Metal due to Vulkan not being present. (assuming MoltenVK isn't installed)
Sam Lantinga 9a76bebf 2019-11-13T14:24:48 SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_BUTTON_LABELS defaults to true, to match Steam's default behavior
Sam Lantinga b3470f04 2019-10-17T17:32:47 Added the hint SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_BUTTON_LABELS to control whether Nintendo Switch controllers use their button labels or button positions for game controller button reporting.
Sam Lantinga e5580e18 2019-09-04T09:27:58 x11: add a hint to force the VisualID used when creating a window.
Sam Lantinga be6cda9f 2019-06-19T15:54:21 Rolling back GameCube HIDAPI support It causes the HIDAPI devices to always be opened on enumeration, which causes crashes in the Windows drivers when multiple applications are reading and writing at the same time. We can revisit this after 2.0.10 release.
Sam Lantinga 762b788f 2019-06-09T12:46:10 Cleanup on bug 3894 - Fuzzing crashes for SDL_LoadWAV Simon Hug Attached is a minor cleanup patch. It changes the option name of one hint to something better, puts one or two more checks in, and adds explicit casting where warnings could appear otherwise. I hope the naming of the hints and their options is acceptable. It would be kind of awkward to change them after they get released with an official SDL version.
Sam Lantinga 990e166a 2019-06-08T19:02:42 Fixed bug 3894 - Fuzzing crashes for SDL_LoadWAV Simon Hug I had a look at this and made some additions to SDL_wave.c. The attached patch adds many checks and error messages. For some reason I also added A-law and ?-law decoders. Forgot exactly why... but hey, they're small. The WAVE format is seriously underspecified (at least by the documents that are publicly available on the internet) and it's a shame Microsoft never put something better out there. The language used in them is so loose at times, it's not surprising the encoders and decoders behave very differently. The Windows Media Player doesn't even support MS ADPCM correctly. The patch also adds some hints to make the decoder more strict at the cost of compatibility with weird WAVE files. I still think it needs a bit of cleaning up (Not happy with the MultiplySize function. Don't like the name and other SDL code may want to use something like this too.) and some duplicated code may be folded together. It does work in this state and I have thrown all kinds of WAVE files at it. The AFL files also pass with it and some even play (obviously just noise). Crafty little fuzzer. Any critique would be welcome. I have a fork of SDL with a audio-loadwav branch over here if someone wants to use the commenting feature of Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/ChliHug/SDL I also cobbled some Lua scripts together to create WAVE test files: https://bitbucket.org/ChliHug/gendat
Sam Lantinga 9eac91dd 2019-04-05T08:10:12 Set SDL_HINT_MOUSE_TOUCH_EVENTS for iPhone and iPad as well
Sylvain Becker 05333a6e 2019-04-05T09:16:30 Android: add hint SDL_HINT_ANDROID_BLOCK_ON_PAUSE to set whether the event loop will block itself when the app is paused.
Sylvain Becker b470cd9b 2019-04-05T08:36:31 Android: default SDL_HINT_MOUSE_TOUCH_EVENTS to 1 as previous behaviour
Sylvain Becker bfdd0b22 2019-04-04T17:01:02 Android: remove SDL_HINT_ANDROID_SEPARATE_MOUSE_AND_TOUCH java layer runs as if separate mouse and touch was 1, Use SDL_HINT_MOUSE_TOUCH_EVENTS and SDL_HINT_TOUCH_MOUSE_EVENTS for generating synthetic touch/mouse events
Sylvain Becker e4157618 2019-04-04T16:51:50 Add hint SDL_HINT_MOUSE_TOUCH_EVENTS for mouse events to generate touch events controlling whether mouse events should generate synthetic touch events By default SDL will *not* generate touch events for mouse events
Ryan C. Gordon 911bf624 2019-03-15T14:08:30 events: Make debug logging of the event queue a hint instead of an #ifdef. This makes it easy to toggle it on when debugging a new platform (or just getting more visibility into an app) without having to rebuild SDL.
Ethan Lee c5286156 2019-03-12T20:27:54 hidapi: Add support for Wii U/Switch USB GameCube controller adapter. Note that a single USB device is responsible for all 4 joysticks, so a large rewrite of the DeviceDriver functions was necessary to allow a single device to produce multiple joysticks.
Sam Lantinga 5e13087b 2019-01-04T22:01:14 Updated copyright for 2019
Sam Lantinga 70ce0f2e 2018-12-07T12:02:08 Added the hint SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG_FILE to specify a file to load at initialization containing SDL game controller mappings
Ryan C. Gordon 62494a2e 2018-10-31T15:03:41 Merge SDL-ryan-batching-renderer branch to default.
Ryan C. Gordon acb05f50 2018-10-11T16:40:01 thread: make SDL_CreateThreadWithStackSize() a public API.
Sam Lantinga b60e5b82 2018-10-03T15:48:26 Update documentation to note that this hint works on Android too (thanks Trent!)
Ryan C. Gordon 5fb67f9f 2018-09-20T15:46:02 render: Move to a batching system for rendering (work in progress).
Sam Lantinga 6b3e8931 2018-09-14T19:26:26 Added hints SDL_HINT_MOUSE_DOUBLE_CLICK_TIME and SDL_HINT_MOUSE_DOUBLE_CLICK_RADIUS to allow tuning double-click sensitivity. Also increased the default double-click radius to 32 pixels to be more forgiving for touch interfaces
Sam Lantinga 207428b4 2018-08-29T20:23:39 Don't rumble Bluetooth PS4 controllers by default, as that switches the controller into extended input report mode, which breaks games that use DirectInput.
Sam Lantinga 7d3a7ef8 2018-08-15T23:35:54 Use a single hint for both Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers, since they are often the same driver.
Sam Lantinga d2042e1e 2018-08-09T16:00:17 Added HIDAPI joystick drivers for more consistent support for Xbox, PS4 and Nintendo Switch Pro controller support across platforms. Added SDL_GameControllerRumble() and SDL_JoystickRumble() for simple force feedback outside of the SDL haptics API
Sam Lantinga ff8c9538 2018-07-12T13:28:13 Allow trapping the back button so right mouse click can work on some Android systems (thanks Rachel!) Also, added a function SDL_AndroidBackButton() so applications can respond to the back button directly
Sam Lantinga 5adc1b7d 2018-02-24T08:18:09 Updated documentation with API changes in SDL 2.0.8
Sam Lantinga 8ddebfa0 2018-02-16T10:23:10 Fixed bug 4085 - X11: Allow configuring _NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR through SDL hints Callum McGing This patch allows the user to disable the behaviour that blocks the compositor through a new hint: SDL_VIDEO_X11_NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR. This allows tools or other windowed applications to behave properly under KWin.
Sam Lantinga f59b9c8b 2018-02-06T15:03:38 Replaced SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_REMOTE_SWIPES_AS_ARROW_KEYS with SDL_HINT_TV_REMOTE_AS_JOYSTICK which controls whether remotes on iOS and Android are interpreted as joysticks (the default) or as return/escape/arrow keys.
Sam Lantinga 85c34e9a 2018-02-01T15:21:01 Added SDL_HINT_IOS_HIDE_HOME_INDICATOR to determine how the home indicator on the iPhone X is handled. This variable can be set to the following values: "0" - The indicator bar is not hidden (default for windowed applications) "1" - The indicator bar is hidden and is shown when the screen is touched (useful for movie playback applications) "2" - The indicator bar is dim and the first swipe makes it visible and the second swipe performs the "home" action (default for fullscreen applications)
Sam Lantinga 9338a619 2018-01-17T17:24:15 Added a hint SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_REMOTE_SWIPES_AS_ARROW_KEYS to prevent turning Apple TV remote swipes into arrow key events
Sam Lantinga e3cc5b2c 2018-01-03T10:03:25 Updated copyright for 2018
Sam Lantinga b92e2f02 2017-12-19T10:57:21 Fixed bug 4004 - iOS: don't hide keyboard on RETURN Dominik Reichardt As discussed in 2012 the iOS onscreen keyboard hides when you hit RETURN (see https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/on-screen-keyboard-change/19216). IMO this is a bad idea to not be able to influence this behavior and just recently this was fixed for Android by adding the hint SDL_HINT_ANDROID_RETURN_HIDES_IME in changeset 11768 6ce3bb5e38a5.
Sam Lantinga 2afc0b7f 2017-12-12T12:52:23 Add the ability to set SDL to handle Return as 'hide IME' on Android softkeyboard. (thanks Rachel!)
Ryan C. Gordon 7cb8b50a 2017-12-08T17:43:57 hints: Add "metal" to the list of SDL_RENDER_DRIVER hints.
Brandon Schaefer 9f4e4be8 2017-11-07T09:10:32 Fixed bug 3943 - General SDL_HINT_VIDEO_DOUBLE_BUFFER hint support
Brandon Schaefer 2ac567b7 2017-10-26T16:37:20 Fixed bug 3902 - Add a specific KMSDRM hint for low latency video
Sam Lantinga c08a7a74 2017-09-15T17:27:32 Added a hint SDL_HINT_AUDIO_CATEGORY to control the audio category, determining whether the phone mute switch affects the audio
Sam Lantinga de91b124 2017-08-14T06:28:21 Fixed bug 3745 - specify SDLCALL as the calling convention for API callbacks Patches contributed by Ozkan Sezer
Sam Lantinga c87e1d52 2017-08-13T14:15:52 Fixed bug 2841 - Hint to set resource id for window icon Alexey Seems to be a missing functionality. I want to set an icon from RC file. I cant pass MAKEINTRESOURCE(X) string to SDL_RegisterApp() cause string returned by MAKEINTRESOURCE string is not actually a string and SDL_strlen will crash. Moreover LoadImage seems to be loading wrong icon size. LoadIcon seems to be fine.
Sam Lantinga c49fa37c 2017-08-09T11:59:29 Added SDL hints to filter the set of game controllers reported by SDL
Sam Lantinga 56cab6d4 2017-08-03T09:48:44 Added a hint SDL_HINT_TOUCH_MOUSE_EVENTS to control whether touch events generate synthetic mouse events.
Philipp Wiesemann 456bc301 2017-06-08T22:40:21 Fixed environment variable of SDL_HINT_RENDER_LOGICAL_SIZE_MODE.
Ryan C. Gordon 92889836 2017-06-06T14:06:40 Merged Eric Wing's overscan patch. Fixes Bugzilla #2799.
Ryan C. Gordon 6d661cab 2017-06-06T13:12:43 windows: Change the default on SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_DISABLE_THREAD_NAMING. It's easier for Visual Studio users that want this information to turn it on or live without it, than it is to explain why every debugger that isn't Visual Studio crashes out here. Eventually SetThreadDescription() will be the thing everyone uses anyhow. Fixes Bugzilla #3645. (and several others).
Sam Lantinga ede5c734 2017-01-24T19:38:01 Generalized the audio resampling hint for other resampling methods in the future
Ryan C. Gordon c7f9dcb6 2017-01-24T15:52:22 audio: Offer a hint for libsamplerate quality/speed tradeoff. This defaults to the internal SDL resampler, since that's the likely default without a system-wide install of libsamplerate, but those that need more can tweak this.
Philipp Wiesemann 06d1d945 2017-01-14T21:35:49 Fixed doxygen warning and linking of function names.
Sam Lantinga a52d48c5 2017-01-10T08:54:33 Fixed bugs 2570, 3145, improved OpenGL ES context support on Windows and X11 Mark Callow The attached patch does the following for the X11 and Windows platforms, the only ones where SDL attempts to use context_create_es_profile: - Adds SDL_HINT_OPENGL_ES_DRIVER by which the application can say to use the OpenGL ES driver & EGL rather than the Open GL driver. (For bug #2570) - Adds code to {WIN,X11}_GL_InitExtensions to determine the maximum OpenGL ES version supported by the OpenGL driver (for bug #3145) - Modifies the test that determines whether to use the OpenGL driver or the real OpenGL ES driver to take into account the hint, the requested and supported ES version and whether ES 1.X is being requested. (For bug #2570 & bug #3145) - Enables the testgles2 test for __WINDOWS__ and __LINUX__ and adds the test to the VisualC projects. With the fix in place I have run testdraw2, testgl and testgles2 without any issues and have run my own apps that use OpenGL, OpenGL ES 3 and OpenGL ES 1.1.
Sam Lantinga 45b774e3 2017-01-01T18:33:28 Updated copyright for 2017
Philipp Wiesemann 7c60a638 2016-12-23T20:36:12 Corrected header file guard comments.
Sam Lantinga 4eda58ba 2016-12-02T21:01:13 Added SDL_HINT_MOUSE_NORMAL_SPEED_SCALE and SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_SPEED_SCALE to scale the speed of the mouse. This currently doesn't affect absolute motion, which would need to be implemented on each windowing system so the cursor matches the reported mouse coordinates.
Sam Lantinga 36156335 2016-11-20T21:34:54 Renaming of guard header names to quiet -Wreserved-id-macro Patch contributed by Sylvain
Sam Lantinga c7351c2d 2016-11-20T21:26:56 Fixed a few warnings that show up with -Wdocumentation and -Wdocumentation-unknown-command, patch contributed by Sylvain
Thomas Perl acce8659 2016-11-13T10:39:04 [qtwayland] Set orientation and window flags via SDL hints
Sam Lantinga 012217f0 2016-10-18T23:24:49 Fixed bug 3369 - RaspberryPI ability to specify a Dispmanx layer Albert Casals On a RaspberryPI, it might become convenient to specify the Dispmanx layer SDL uses. Currently, it is hardcoded to be 10000 to sit above most applications. This can be specially useful when integrating other graphical apps and frameworks like OMXplayer, QT5 etc.. in order to have more flexibility on their Z-order.
Sam Lantinga 27d4f099 2016-10-07T23:40:44 Implemented SDL_GetHintBoolean() to make it easier to check boolean hints
Philipp Wiesemann f8aa4291 2016-10-02T22:32:18 Added brackets to function names in header comments so that doxygen links them.
Sam Lantinga 9fff05f8 2016-10-01T11:29:13 Fixed bug 3352 - Adding alpha mask support to SDL_SaveBMP_RW Simon Hug The current SDL_SaveBMP_RW function that saves surfaces to a BMP uses an old bitmap header which doesn't officially support alpha channels. Applications just ignore the byte where the alpha is stored. This can easily be extended by using a newer header version and setting the alpha mask. The attached patch has these changes: - Extending the description of the function in the SDL_surface.h header with the supported formats. - Refining when surfaces get stored to a 32-bit BMP. (Must have bit depth of 8 or higher and must have an alpha mask or colorkey.) - Fixing a small bug that saves 24-bit BGR surfaces with a colorkey in a 24-bit BMP. - Adding code that switches to the bitmap header version 4 if the surface has an alpha mask or colorkey. (I chose version 4 because Microsoft didn't lose its documentation behind a file cabinet like they did with version 3.) - Adding a hint that can disable the use of the version 4 header. This is for people that need the legacy header or like the old behavior better. (I'm not sure about the hint name, though. May need changing if there are any rules to that.)
Ethan Lee 92d700f1 2016-09-30T09:26:57 SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_DISABLE_THREAD_NAMING
Sam Lantinga a13da2fa 2016-09-29T13:34:49 Generalized the hint for whether the application gets a mouse event when clicking on the window to activate it, and is now named SDL_HINT_MOUSE_FOCUS_CLICKTHROUGH. The behavior is defined to not receive the click event, and this hint allows you to override that.
Alex Szpakowski 459102a5 2016-09-17T01:36:29 Updated URL in a comment
Alex Szpakowski a96b6f21 2016-09-17T01:31:07 Added a new hint SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_REMOTE_ALLOW_ROTATION. When set to "1", the orientation of the Apple TV remote affects the axes of the corresponding SDL joystick. It is "0" (disabled) by default.
Alex Szpakowski f0505766 2016-09-13T22:18:06 Initial Apple TV / tvOS support. The Apple TV remote is currently exposed as a joystick with its touch surface treated as two axes. Key presses are also generated when its buttons and touch surface are used. A new hint has been added to help deal with deciding whether to background the app when the remote's menu button is pressed: SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_CONTROLLER_UI_EVENTS.
Philipp Wiesemann a4abda0b 2016-08-03T22:30:31 Added brackets to function names in header comments so that doxygen links them.
Philipp Wiesemann 63f2ec8e 2016-05-05T22:04:16 Updated documentation of SDL_HINT_THREAD_STACK_SIZE in header file.
Alex Szpakowski 88372277 2016-04-02T11:54:05 Add a new hint SDL_HINT_MAC_MOUSE_FOCUS_CLICKTHROUGH, which allows mouse click events to occur when clicking to focus a window in Mac OS X. Fixes bug #3300.
Sam Lantinga 42065e78 2016-01-02T10:10:34 Updated copyright to 2016
Sam Lantinga 38edc177 2015-10-27T11:18:04 Add SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_NET_WM_PING to allow disabling _NET_WM_PING protocol handling in CreateWindow if desired.
Philipp Wiesemann 5e593682 2015-09-17T22:21:12 Android: Added to APK expansion file hint documentation in header file.
andrewb a702c338 2015-08-03T11:37:03 Add SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_NO_CLOSE_ON_ALT_F4 to SDL so that Reborn can keep running through Alt+F4.
Alfred Reynolds 628d8edb 2015-07-29T17:19:15 SDL - add a new SDL_HINT_MAC_BACKGROUND_APP hint, when set or set to 1 don't force the app to be foreground
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().
Eric Wing 27fab8f4 2015-06-17T20:03:08 merged SDL 2.0.4rc1+
Philipp Wiesemann 8c9571a2 2015-05-29T22:24:38 Fixed typo in header file documentation comment.
Ryan C. Gordon baea64e6 2015-05-26T21:19:23 Stack hint should look for 0, not -1, and not care about environment variables.
Ryan C. Gordon a8fa7bd1 2015-05-26T21:13:27 Added a hint to specify new thread stack size (thanks, Gabriel!). Fixes Bugzilla #2019. (we'll do a better fix when we break the API in SDL 2.1.)
Sam Lantinga 2c4a6ea0 2015-05-26T06:27:46 Updated the copyright year to 2015
Alex Szpakowski 240a3fbf 2015-05-16T16:55:56 iOS: Added support for SDL_DisableScreenSaver and SDL_EnableScreenSaver.
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.
Eric Wing 7d5147ba 2015-04-17T21:25:19 resync'd overscan patch with SDL mainline.
Alex Szpakowski fe6c797c 2015-04-10T23:30:31 Fixed an iOS view orientation issue when SDL_GL_CreateContext or SDL_CreateRenderer is called.
Alex Szpakowski df98b11c 2015-04-06T15:26:37 Merged default into iOS-improvements
Joseba Garc?a Etxebarria 387fa5dc 2015-03-24T20:45:29 * Improve mouse support in Android. These changes require Android API v12 to compile
Ryan C. Gordon 672ccb4f 2015-03-24T14:36:36 Make the signal handler hint more generic.
Ryan C. Gordon a91a5604 2015-03-24T14:29:25 Added a hint to prevent SDL from installing signal handlers. Fixes Bugzilla #2431.
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
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.

Philipp Wiesemann 80d19b7e 2014-12-25T22:05:48 Fixed typo in header file documentation comment.
Ryan C. Gordon fe40a172 2014-12-18T00:19:52 Initial merge of Emscripten port! With this commit, you can compile SDL2 with Emscripten ( http://emscripten.org/ ), and make your SDL-based C/C++ program into a web app. This port was due to the efforts of several people, including: Charlie Birks, Sathyanarayanan Gunasekaran, Jukka Jyl?nki, Alon Zakai, Edward Rudd, Bruce Mitchener, and Martin Gerhardy. (Thanks, everyone!)
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!
Eric Wing 31388117 2014-12-03T04:41:26 Adds support to control the scaling policy/mode of SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize for both letterbox (current behavior) and a new overscan mode (expand to fill the entire screen, even if some parts draw off the screen). The expected use case is for games that are designed with multiple aspect ratios already in mind and leave optional margins on the edges of the game which won't hurt if they are cut off. An example use case is a game is designed for wide-screen/16:9, but then wants to deploy on an iPad which is 4:3. Normally, SDL will letterbox, which will shrink things and result in wasted space. But the designer already thought about 4:3 and designed the edges of the game so they could be cut off without any functional loss. So rather than wasting space with letterboxing, "overscan" mode will zoom the rendering to fill up the entire screen. Parts on the edges will be drawn offscreen, but since the game was already designed with this in mind, it is fine. The end result is the iPad (4:3) experience is much better since it feels like a game designed for that screen aspect ratio. This patch introduces a new SDL_hint: SDL_HINT_RENDER_LOGICAL_SIZE_MODE. Valid values are "letterbox" or "0" for letterboxing and "overscan" or "1" for overscan. The default mode is letterbox to preserve existing behavior. // Example usage: SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_RENDER_LOGICAL_SIZE_MODE, "overscan"); SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize(renderer, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT);
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.
Alex Szpakowski cc0631a0 2014-12-02T02:52:45 Merged default into iOS-improvements
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
