- TODO: update INSTALL.txt to replace the autotools configure
instructions with cmake.
- TODO: update make build system to provide an equivalent to
autotools' `make dist` ?
- TODO: update / revise github actions, replace autotools-only
ones with cmake (e.g.: vmactions.yml for FreeBSD.)
Reference issue: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6571
This ignores 2.x.1 (etc) releases, which prevents it from thinking
the next official non-point-release version is 2.26.1, when it
should be 2.26.0, because it saw the "latest" release is 2.24.1.
This fixes the wiki ending up with imaginary version numbers for
the "this function is available since SDL 2.x.y" sections.
Fixes#6343.
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).

Make sure the SDL java and C code match when updating SDL in a game.
Right now we're assuming that we only have to make sure release versions match. We can extend the version string with an interface version if we need more fine grained sanity checking.

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.

GitHub Actions is a 64-bit Ubuntu instance. It was only using the 32-bit
binaries because our buildbot put this on the 32-bit Linux host to spread
the CPU load around more evenly.
This keep documentation future-accurate and more importantly: it will
produce correct results before we tag the official release in git, so
they'll be correct in the tag and the release tarball.
This will let us automate this so it's managed for us, and as things go
from development to official releases, the documentation will automatically
update!
Otherwise a formula like `x = y * 2;` would treat that '*' as the start of
an italicized section when converting to MediaWiki format, and match any
other '*' in the content as the end marker.
Details:
Currently doing 4 system calls per WM_INPUT message, which can cause the thread handling the message loop to be swapped out several times:
* GetProp - to get window data from the window handle
* GetRawInputData - to retrieve the raw input data
* 2 calls to GetMessageExtraInfo - to ignore synthetic mouse events generated for touchscreens
In this change:
* Replaced GetProp by iterating the list of windows maintained by SDL (with a fallback to GetProp). Note that this will affect all messages and not just WM_INPUT
* only calling GetMessageExtraInfo if a touchscreen has been detected
Fix for https://jira.valve.org/browse/CSGO-4855

This is a work-in-progress, but the idea is it can convert between our
wiki and the SDL header's doxygen comments, so we can attempt to keep them
in sync.
This might be a fool's errand, but I'm optimistic it'll work enough that we
can clean up little issues as we go, as long as we have some discipline
about how we write documentation. If nothing else, it's going to result in
a solid spring-cleaning of both the wiki and the headers!

Our config.guess and config.sub are rather outdated.
Attached new versions of them here.
However, build-scripts/config.sub.patch do not apply
to these new versions: I don't know if and where that
patch is still needed.

The change resulting from Bug 4208 changed the compatibility_version of libSDL2 from 9.0.0 to 1.0.0. This is simply wrong.
This means that programs linked against 2.0.9 are considered by the dynamic linker to be compatible with all previous versions of libSDL2. This is not the case since new public symbols have been added.
The way compatibility_version and current_version are meant to work is:
* current_version increases every time the library changes in any way.
* compatibility_version is increased to match current_version whenever new public symbols are added.
Thus both versions should only ever increase. The solution to the Xcode project and autotools not having matching versions should have been to increase the version(s) in the Xcode project.

armeabi is almost deprecated for android-ndk higher that r13b.
either it doesn't compile (ICE), or it executes wrongly (using long long for instance).
android people advices to use armeabi-v7a (or use r13b).
Also added native code to the Android gradle project, which allows using gradle or Android Studio to build the entire SDL application without a separate ndk-build step.

README-android says to copy or link the SDL source tree to the jni folder in your Android project. It is not desirable to have to compile SDL with every application; furthermore the Android NDK has support for prebuilt libraries.
Attached is script (to be put in build-scripts) that builds the Android version of the libraries. The script builds both the existing SDL2 module and a new SDL2_main module. This is a static library containing the code from src/main/android/SDL_android_main.c. Also attached is a patch for Android.mk adding this module.
Note that when building an application's native .so using this prebuilt libSDL2main, you must use a link option, such as --whole-archive, that forces inclusion of the code in the .so because the functions in SDL_android_main are called only from Java.
According to Steam's OS stats, Windows 8.0 use is pretty much nil. Further,
Microsoft hasn't support Windows 8.0 development in any of their
actively-updated toolchains, and setting it up can be a pain.
In theory, SDL2 still supports Windows 8.0, however building of Windows 8.0
.dlls is no longer the default, if and when using the 'winrtbuild.*' scripts.
The MSVC 2012 project files for building Windows 8.0 dlls remain, though,
for the time being.

The showrev.sh script shows the tip, instead of the current hg revision. This can be mismatched if one were to use hg update -r ??? to revert to a previous revision.
Patch uses parents instead of tip, which will show the revision that the source is compiled with, instead of the latest revision that the user who is compiling has downloaded.
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().
