You can rename APIs using rename.py and all the code and documentation will be updated, and entries will be added to WhatsNew.txt and docs/README-migration.md.
e.g.
rename.py SDL_foo.h function SDL_CreateFoo SDL_FooCreate
SDL_oldnames.h is included in the SDL header, and if you define SDL_ENABLE_OLD_NAMES, will redefine the old API functions to call the new ones, and if not, will define them as a symbol letting you what the new API function is.
SDL.h now exists solely as a header that includes everything else, instead
of one that forces you to include everything else when you just want the
declaration for SDL_Init().
Fixes#6840.
makes the SDL_main code shorter
Also added a generic SDL_RunApp() implementation for platforms that
don't really need it.
Some platforms (that use SDL_main but haven't been ported yet) are
still missing, but are added in the following commits.
and move the #undef main and #define main SDL_main to the start/end of
SDL_main_impl.h instead of repeating it in every platform implementation
Thanks to SDL_N3DSRunApp we don't need the #include <3ds.h> in
SDL_main_impl.h - that caused conflicts with testthread.c, because both
have (different) ThreadFunc typedefs.
As the implementation requires C++, the user will have to include
SDL_main.h in a C++ source file (that needs to be compiled with /ZW).
It's ok to keep the standard main() implementation in plain C and use
an otherwise empty C++ source file for the SDL_main implementation part,
if both source files #include <SDL3/SDL_main.h>
Including SDL_main.h in a C source file will print a message at
compilation (when building for WinRT or possibly other not yet implemented
platforms that require C++ for main), to remind the user of also
including it in a .cpp source file. This message/warning can be disabled
with #define SDL_MAIN_NOIMPL before including SDL_main.h in the C file.
When including it in a .cpp file, there will be a compiler error with
helpful message if it's not compiled with /ZW
For this I renamend _SDL_MAIN_NOIMPL to SDL_MAIN_NOIMPL, because now it's
not for internal use only anymore, but also useful for users (that want
their main() function in a different file than the SDL_main implementation)
Add a project for the testdraw2.c test to the WinRT solution to at least
get some minimal testing on WinRT.
I won't add all tests because it's a lot of manual clicking per test,
but this should be better than nothing :)
Also adjusted iOS demo's includes to <SDL3/..> and explicit SDL_main.h
untested, I don't have Xcode (or a Mac, for that matter)
The xcode projects (for both Xcode-iOS/ and Xcode/) will probably
have to be adjusted for the SDL_main changes to work, but now at least
the iOS demo source should work as is :)
(remaining platforms will follow)
SDL_main.h is *not* included by SDL.h anymore, users are supposed to
include it directly now, usually only in the file they implement main() in.
If they need the header elsewhere or don't want SDL_main to implement
main() (but only call SDL_SetMainReady() or whatever), they
can #define SDL_MAIN_HANDLED first, same as before.
For SDL-internal usage, I added _SDL_MAIN_NOIMPL, which *also* skips the
implementation and `#define main SDL_main`, but still defines
SDL_MAIN_AVAILABLE and SDL_MAIN_NEEDED in SDL_main.h, as before.
To make the implementaion in the header shorter and avoid including windows.h,
I moved most of the Win32 SDL_main code into SDL3.dll via SDL_Win32RunApp(),
so the header-only part is just the different main functions calling
SDL_Win32RunApp(SDL_main, NULL)
Note that I changed changed the return value and type of OutOfMemory()
to return -1 instead of FALSE, so main() (or WinMain() or whatever)
returns -1 instead of 0 in case of an out-of-memory error
Compared to original Win32 SDL_main, I tweaked the part of the
implementation in SDL_main_impl.h a bit to avoid linker warnings
and conflicts with stuff from windows.h:
- replaced windows.h with own define of WINAPI
and typedef-ing HINSTANCE and LPSTR.
This prevents conflicts between all the generically-named #defines and
types in windows.h and user code (like DrawState in some SDL tests)
- only using one of main() or wmain() gets rid of a MSVC linker error
("warning LNK4067: ambiguous entry point")
If this still causes problems, we might try getting rid of wmain(),
seemed to me like MSVC can use regular main() in UNICODE mode as well
- simplified the UNICODE logic for that - while this is not exactly
equivalent to the old, it should make sense and Works For Me
This simplifies some things, clarifies some things, and also allows
for the possibility of RWops that offer non-blocking i/o (although
none of the current built-in ones do, intentionally, we could add this
later if we choose, or people could provide things like network socket
RWops implementations now, etc.
Fixes#6729.
The annotations have been added to SDL_mutex.h and have been made public so applications can enable this for their own code.
Clang assumes that locking and unlocking can't fail, but SDL has the concept of a NULL mutex, so the mutex functions have been changed not to report errors if a mutex hasn't been initialized. We do have mutexes that might be accessed when they are NULL, notably in the event system, so this is an important change.
This commit cleans up a bunch of rare race conditions in the joystick and game controller code so now everything should be completely protected by the joystick lock.
To test this, change the compiler to "clang -Wthread-safety -Werror=thread-safety -DSDL_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS"
If you care about timestamps you'll also want to catch all of the sensor events instead of just polling the current state. For example, Nintendo Switch controllers generate 3 sensor events with distinct values for each polling interval.
In SDL3 we plan to make more use of shaders in the 2D render API, and this minimizes the number of platforms we have to consider for new features. OpenGL ES 2.0 or newer is supported on all modern iOS and Android devices.

Reference issue: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6571
SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_FORCE_EGL was deprecated in favor of the more general SDL_HINT_VIDEO_FORCE_EGL, and Xinerama and Xvidmode support was previously removed from SDL, rendering their associated hints nonfunctional.
* The header is no longer dependent on SDL build configuration
* The structures are versioned separately from the rest of SDL
* SDL_GetWindowWMInfo() now returns a standard result code and is passed the version expected by the application
* Updated WhatsNew.txt and docs/README-migration.md with the first API changes in SDL 3.0
Depending on the underlying EGL library, it may be desirable to
conditionally set some specific EGL attributes depending on available
extensions and other application state.
SDL's EGL usage makes this a little bit complicated because:
- there are multiple functions used to set up a working EGL context
- some of these functions take different types of EGL attributes
(EGLAttrib vs EGLint)
- the EGL extension list before creating an EGLDisplay differs from the
extension list after (i.e. display vs client extensions)
- all of the above happens in a single SDL_CreateWindow call
This leaves no place for the application to discover what EGL extensions
are available and provide custom attribute lists.
Until now, if a developer wants to add a custom EGL attribute for
eglGetPlatformDisplay, eglCreateWindowSurface or eglCreateContext, they
needed to patch SDL itself. This is very undesirable, since such
developers would have to disable the SDL dynapi in order to maintain
compatibility with their needs.
This patch implements some callbacks which developers can use to
dynamically generate custom EGL attributes for SDL to use during
SDL_CreateWindow.
These functions allow applications to call EGL functions against the SDL
EGL context. For example, applications can use an EGL API loader via
SDL_EGL_GetCurrentDisplay and SDL_EGL_GetProcAddress, and can call
functions such as eglQuerySurface against the internal EGLSurface and
EGLDisplay.
This fallback is undesirable when using ANGLE, because it will end up
using some default configuration (e.g. on Windows it defaults to the
D3D11 backend).
This implements a new SDL_GL_EGL_PLATFORM attribute to set the
"platform" argument for SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary on Windows, macOS, and
Linux. I've limited it to those three operating systems because that's
what I've been able to test against.
This adds support for forcing the use of EGL on Windows and MacOS. The
SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_FORCE_EGL hint is retained for backwards
compatibility but is now deprecated.
Downstream distributors can use this to mark a version with their
preferred version information, like a Linux distribution package version
or the Steam revision it was built to be bundled into, or just to mark
it with the vendor it was built by or the environment it's intended to
be used in.
For instance, in Debian I'd use this by configuring with:
--enable-vendor-info="${DEB_VENDOR} ${DEB_VERSION}"
to get a SDL_REVISION like:
release-2.24.1-0-ga1d1946dc (Debian 2.24.1+dfsg-2)
which gives a Debian user enough information to track down the patches
and build-time configuration that were used for package revision 2.
In Autotools and CMake, this is a configure-time option like any other,
and will go into both SDL_REVISION (via SDL_revision.h) and
SDL_GetRevision().
In other build systems (MSVC, Xcode, etc.), defining the
SDL_VENDOR_INFO macro will get it into the output of SDL_GetRevision(),
although not SDL_REVISION.

Instead of using a URL and git sha1, this uses `git describe` to
describe the version relative to the nearest previous git tag, which
gives a better indication of whether this is a release, a prerelease,
a slightly patched prerelease, or a long way after the last release
during active development.
This serves two purposes: it makes those APIs more informative, and it
also puts this information into the binary in a form that is easy to
screen-scrape using strings(1). For instance, if the bundled version of
SDL in a game has this, we can see at a glance what version it is.
It's also shorter than using the web address of the origin git
repository and the full git commit sha1.
Also write the computed version into a file ./VERSION in `make dist`
tarballs, so that when we build from a tarball on a system that doesn't
have git available, we still get the version details.
For the Perforce code path in showrev.sh, output the version number
followed by the Perforce revision, in a format reminiscent of
`git describe` (with p instead of g to indicate Perforce).
For the code path with no VCS available at all, put a suffix on the
version number to indicate that this is just a guess (we can't know
whether this SDL version is actually a git snapshot or has been
patched locally or similar).

Disabling RAWINPUT on Windows 10 causes these issues:
* All Xbox controllers are named "XInput Controller".
* Trigger rumble no longer works.
* "XInput Controllers" are now also listed as separate haptic devices
It's only needed to support more than 4 Xbox controllers, and adds significant complexity to the joystick processing, and we regularly get bugs from people who aren't using an SDL window who need to turn on SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_THREAD.
* Consolidated scancode mapping tables into a single location for all backends
* Verified that the xfree86_scancode_table2 is largely identical to the Linux scancode table
* Updated the Linux scancode table with the latest kernel keycodes (still unmapped)
* Route X11 keysym -> scancode mapping through the linux scancode table (which a few hand-written exceptions), which will allow mappings to automatically get picked up as they are added in the Linux scancode table
* Disabled verbose reporting of missing keysym mappings, we have enough data for now
Several games (including Source and GoldSrc games, and Bioshock
Infinite) attempt to "fake" relative mouse mode by repeatedly warping
the cursor to the centre of the screen. Since mouse warping is not
supported under Wayland, the viewport ends up "stuck" in a rectangular
area.
Detect this case (mouse warp while the cursor is not visible), and
enable relative mouse mode, which tracks the cursor position
independently, and so can Warp successfully.
This is behind the SDL_HINT_VIDEO_WAYLAND_EMULATE_MOUSE_WARP hint, which
is enabled by default, unless the application enables relative mouse
mode itself using SDL_SetRelativeMouseMode(SDL_TRUE).
Note that there is a behavoural difference, in that relative mouse mode
typically doesn't take mouse accelleration into account, but the
repeated-warping technique does, so mouse movement can seem very slow
with this (unless the game has its own mouse accelleration option, such
as in Portal 2).
* Added support for vertical mode for Joy-Con controllers
* Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_VERTICAL_JOY_CONS for switching to this mode
* Added support for SL/SR buttons in combined/vertical mode and L/ZL/R/ZR buttons in mini-gamepad mode
X11 has a so-called primary selection, which you can use by marking text and middle-clicking elsewhere to copy the marked text.

This makes the joystick locking more robust by holding the lock while updating joysticks.
The lock should be held when calling any SDL joystick function on a different thread than the one calling SDL_PumpEvents() and SDL_JoystickUpdate().
It is now possible to hold the lock while reinitializing the joystick subsystem, however any open joysticks will become invalid and potentially cause crashes if used afterwards.
