From Melesie
I noticed that when user switches from fullscreen mode to windowed mode and exits application while in windowed mode, Windows performs an additional change of display settings, even though desktop resolution is the same as current one. This causes short black screen to show up. The only way I know of avoiding this is to explicitly switch to default display settings found in registry. MSDN documentation for ChangeDisplaySettingsEx states:
Passing NULL for the lpDevMode parameter and 0 for the dwFlags parameter is the easiest way to return to the default mode after a dynamic mode change.
This would have been a one-line patch to the documentation (specifying that
captures only work as long as the left mouse button is pressed), but I didn't
like that, so I got a little crazy about this instead.
There were several good arguments for this: it's how Windows works with
WM_NCHITTEST, SDL doesn't need to manage a list of rects, it allows more
control over the regions (how do you use rects to cleanly surround a circular
button?), the callback can be more optimized than a iterating a list of
rects, and you don't have to send an updated list of rects whenever the
window resizes or layout changes.
This should be a "long" which on a 64-bit system is likely to be > 32-bits,
causing XGetICValues() to write past the end of the variable (and stack).
Fixes Bugzilla #2513.
All WinRT builds of SDL will now output, "SDL2.dll". Previously, the Windows
8.x/RT builds would output, "SDL.dll", and Windows Phone 8 builds would output,
"SDL_WinPhone.dll". The change to "SDL2.dll" puts WinRT dll naming in-line with
that seen on Win32.
SDL/WinRT's MSVC project files will now appear as either "SDL2-WinRT" or
"SDL2-WinPhone", when displaying in MSVC.
This set of changes should not break any older WinRT or Windows Phone 8 app
builds that rely on MSVC's Project-to-Project reference system to build SDL2 for
the correct platform(s), and to install SDL2 dll files into the apps' output
packages. App builds that reference SDL dll files directly should, however,
now reference "SDL2.dll".
