- Simplified public API, simplified backend interface.
- Camera device hotplug events.
- Thread code is split up so it backends that provide own threads can use it.
- Added "dummy" backend.
Note that CoreMedia (Apple) and Android backends need to be updated, as does
the testcamera app (testcameraminimal works).
It is becoming necessary to enable additional features as libdecor continues to evolve, and checking against a single base version will no longer be adequate. Libdecor doesn't provide versioning defines in its headers, so split the version string into parts to allow for discrete version detection and feature enablement at build time.
Allow the Visual Studio project to define HAVE_LIBC=0 to enable building without a C runtime on Windows entirely through Visual Studio project changes.
Renamed the following property define names to have a type suffix to
match other property names.
SDL_PROP_TEXTURE_OPENGL_TEXTURE_TARGET (number)
SDL_PROP_TEXTURE_OPENGLES2_TEXTURE_TARGET (number)
SDL_PROP_WINDOW_CREATE_WAYLAND_SCALE_TO_DISPLAY (boolean)
SDL_PROP_WINDOW_RENDERER (pointer)
SDL_PROP_WINDOW_TEXTUREDATA (pointer)
Eventually we can re-add a fast path for that data down to the individual renderers. Setting color scale would still require converting to float, and most hardware accelerated renderers prefer to consume colors as float, so this requires some thought and performance testing.

The renderer will always use the sRGB colorspace for drawing, and will default to the sRGB output colorspace. If you want blending in linear space and HDR support, you can select the scRGB output colorspace, which is supported by the direct3d11 and direct3d12
This allows color operations to happen in linear space between sRGB input and sRGB output. This is currently supported on the direct3d11, direct3d12 and opengl renderers.
This is a good resource on blending in linear space vs sRGB space:

Also added testcolorspace to verify colorspace changes
Add a mode that forces Wayland windows to output with scaling that forces 1:1 pixel mapping.
This is intended to allow legacy applications to be displayed without desktop scaling being applied, and may have issues with some display configurations, as this forces the window to behave in a way that Wayland desktops were not designed to accommodate (rounding errors can result from certain combinations of window/scale values, the window may be unusably small, jump in size at times, or appear to be larger than the desktop space, and cursor precision may be reduced).
Windows flagged as DPI-aware are not affected by this.
The automated video test suite passes with the hint turned on.
Specifically, SDL_WinRTRunApp, SDL_UIKitRunApp, and SDL_GDKRunApp macros were
removed, as likely unnecessary to SDL3 users. A note was added to the
migration doc about how to roll replacements. These are not going into
SDL_oldnames.h.
Fixes#8245.
Modern C runtimes have well optimized memset and memcpy, so use those instead of dispatching into SDL's versions. In addition, some compilers can analyze memset and memcpy calls and directly turn them into optimized assembly.
Many SDL subsystems depend on being able to see time passing. If you are porting to a new platform, you'll need to fill in a timer implementation as part of the initial port.

Add the ability to import and wrap external surfaces from external toolkits such as Qt and GTK.
Wayland surfaces and windows are more intrinsically tied to the client library than other windowing systems, so it is necessary to provide a way to initialize SDL with an existing wl_display object, which needs to be set prior to video system initialization, or export the internal SDL wl_display object for use by external applications or toolkits. For this, the global property SDL_PROPERTY_GLOBAL_VIDEO_WAYLAND_WL_DISPLAY_POINTER is used.
A Wayland example was added to testnative, and a basic example of Qt 6 interoperation is provided in the Wayland readme to demonstrate the use of external windows with both SDL owning the wl_display, and an external toolkit owning it.
Allow for the creation of SDL windows with a roleless surface that applications can use for their own purposes, such as with a windowing protocol other than XDG toplevel.
The property `wayland.surface_role_custom` will create a window with a surface that SDL can render to and handles input for, but is not associated with a toplevel window, so applications can use it for their own, custom purposes (e.g. wlr_layer_shell).
A test/minimal example is included in tests/testwaylandcustom.c
A Wayland registry object can only have one listener attached at a time, so an application attempting to use the backend SDL registry object for its own purposes will just result in an error. Remove this property, as it is of no use to applications and will only result in errors.
If an application needs the registry, it needs to get the wl_display object via `SDL.window.wayland.display` and use wl_display_get_registry() to create a new registry object that it can attach its own listeners to.
It would be easy to assume that all APIs that reference
SDL_JOYSTICK_AXIS_MAX work the same way, but they do not: triggers
generally use the full signed 16-bit range in the lower-level joystick
API, but are normalized to be non-negative by the higher-level gamepad
API.
We also never said explicitly which direction is positive here.
Experimentally, it's right (X), down (Y), and pressed (triggers).

The ARM926EJ-S Technical Reference Manual states:
> You can only access CP15 registers with MRC and MCR instructions in a
> privileged mode. CDP, LDC, STC, MCRR, and MRRC instructions, and unprivileged
> MRC or MCR instructions to CP15 cause the Undefined instruction exception to
> be taken.
Furthermore, `MCR p15, 0, <Rd>, c7, c10, 5` (later called Data Memory Barrier)
is not specified for the ARM926. Thus, SDL should not use these cache
instructions on ARMv5.
This reverts commit 61db102da9.
This causes the build to fail:
SDL_waylandwindow.c:1876:45: error: implicit truncation from 'int' to a one-bit wide bit-field changes value from 1 to -1 [-Werror,-Wsingle-bit-bitfield-constant-conversion]
wind->fullscreen_was_positioned = SDL_TRUE;
We'll use properties for new data associated with a surface, which lets us preserve ABI compatibility with SDL2 and any surfaces created by applications and passed in to SDL functions.
Added support for getting the real controller info, as well as the function SDL_GetGamepadSteamHandle() to get the Steam Input API handle, from the virtual gamepads provided by Steam.
Also added an event SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_STEAM_HANDLE_UPDATED which is triggered when a controller's API handle changes, e.g. the controllers were reassigned slots in the Steam UI.
SDL window size, state, and position functions have been considered immediate, with their effects assuming to have taken effect upon successful return of the function. However, several windowing systems handle these requests asynchronously, resulting in the functions blocking until the changes have taken effect, potentially for long periods of time. Additionally, some windowing systems treat these as requests, and can potentially deny or fulfill the request in a manner differently than the application expects, such as not allowing a window to be positioned or sized beyond desktop borders, prohibiting fullscreen, and so on.
With these changes, applications can make requests of the window manager that do not block, with the understanding that an associated event will be sent if the request is fulfilled. Currently, size, position, maximize, minimize, and fullscreen calls are handled as asynchronous requests, with events being returned if the request is honored. If the application requires that the change take effect immediately, it can call the new SDL_SyncWindow function, which will attempt to block until the request is fulfilled, or some arbitrary timeout period elapses, the duration of which depends not only on the windowing system, but on the operation requested as well (e.g. a 100ms timeout is fine for most X11 events, but maximizing a window can take considerably longer for some reason). There is also a new hint 'SDL_VIDEO_SYNC_ALL_WINDOW_OPS' that will mimic the old behavior by synchronizing after every window operation with, again, the understanding that using this may result in the associated calls blocking for a relatively long period.
The deferred model also results in the window size and position getters not reporting false coordinates anymore, as they only forward what the window manager reports vs allowing applications to set arbitrary values, and fullscreen enter/leave events that were initiated via the window manager update the window state appropriately, where they didn't before.
Care was taken to ensure that order of operations is maintained, and that requests are not ignored or dropped. This does require some implicit internal synchronization in the various backends if many requests are made in a short period, as some state and behavior depends on other bits of state that need to be known at that particular point in time, but this isn't something that typical applications will hit, unless they are sending a lot of window state in a short time as the tests do.
The automated tests developed to test the previous behavior also resulted in previously undefined behavior being defined and normalized across platforms, particularly when it comes to the sizing and positioning of windows when they are in a fixed-size state, such as maximized or fullscreen. Size and position requests made when the window is not in a movable or resizable state will be deferred until it can be applied, so no requests are lost. These changes fix another long-standing issue with renderers recreating maximized windows, where the original non-maximized size was lost, resulting in the window being restored to the wrong size. All automated video tests pass across all platforms.
Overall, the "make a request/get an event" model better reflects how most windowing systems work, and some backends avoid spending significant time blocking while waiting for operations to complete.
