* 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
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.
This is now used as a crc field in the mapping rather than directly in mapping guids, for better mapping compatibility between versions of SDL.
Added SDL_GetJoystickGUIDInfo() to get device information encoded in a joystick GUID, so that mapping programs can clear the CRC from the GUID when generating mappings.
sort_controllers.py has been updated to extract the CRC from mappings created by older mapping programs and convert it into the new crc field. It will also take the CRC into account when checking for duplicate mappings.
Also regenerated the GUIDs for the PS2/PSP/Vita controller mappings, fixing https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6151
* Added support for mini-gamepad mode for Joy-Con controllers, matching the mapping for hid-nintendo on Linux and iOS 16
* Added the ability to merge left and right Joy-Con controllers into a single Pro-style controller
* Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_SWITCH_COMBINE_JOY_CONS to control this merging functionality
* Removed the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_JOY_CONS
For stable releases, this gives us the ability to make bugfix-only point
releases such as 2.24.1 if we want to, and distinguish between them
programmatically. For example, this ability could have been useful after
2.0.16 to fix Xwayland regressions, and after 2.0.18 to fix event loop
regressions.
For development releases, this gives us the ability to make multiple
prereleases during the same feature cycle, and distinguish between them
programmatically. For example, this would have been useful during 2.0.22
development, which went through three prereleases before reaching the
final release.

Since accessing Bluetooth prompts the user for permission on both Android and iOS, and we only need it for Steam Controller support, we'll leave it off by default. You can enable it by setting the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STEAM to "1" before calling SDL_Init()
