796General:
797* Added SDL_GL_ResetAttributes() to reset OpenGL attributes to default values
798* Added an API to load a database of game controller mappings from a file:
799 SDL_GameControllerAddMappingsFromFile(), SDL_GameControllerAddMappingsFromRW()

801* Added SDL_GetDefaultAssertionHandler() and SDL_GetAssertionHandler()
802* Added SDL_DetachThread()
803* Added SDL_HasAVX() to determine if the CPU has AVX features
804* Added SDL_vsscanf(), SDL_acos(), and SDL_asin() to the stdlib routines
805* EGL can now create/manage OpenGL and OpenGL ES 1.x/2.x contexts, and share
806 them using SDL_GL_SHARE_WITH_CURRENT_CONTEXT
807* Added a field "clicks" to the mouse button event which records whether the event is a single click, double click, etc.
808* The screensaver is now disabled by default, and there is a hint SDL_HINT_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER that can change that behavior.
809* Added a hint SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_MODE_WARP to specify whether mouse relative mode should be emulated using mouse warping.
810* testgl2 does not need to link with libGL anymore
811* Added testgles2 test program to demonstrate working with OpenGL ES 2.0
812* Added controllermap test program to visually map a game controller
813
814Windows:
815* Support for OpenGL ES 2.x contexts using either WGL or EGL (natively via
816 the driver or emulated through ANGLE)
817* Added a hint SDL_HINT_VIDEO_WIN_D3DCOMPILER to specify which D3D shader compiler to use for OpenGL ES 2 support through ANGLE
818* Added a hint SDL_HINT_VIDEO_WINDOW_SHARE_PIXEL_FORMAT that is useful when creating multiple windows that should share the same OpenGL context.
819* Added an event SDL_RENDER_TARGETS_RESET that is sent when D3D9 render targets are reset after the device has been restored.
820
821Mac OS X:
822* Added a hint SDL_HINT_MAC_CTRL_CLICK_EMULATE_RIGHT_CLICK to control whether Ctrl+click should be treated as a right click on Mac OS X. This is off by default.
823
824Linux:
825* Fixed fullscreen and focused behavior when receiving NotifyGrab events
826* Added experimental Wayland and Mir support, disabled by default
827
828Android:
829* Joystick support (minimum SDK version required to build SDL is now 12,
830 the required runtime version remains at 10, but on such devices joystick
831 support won't be available).
832* Hotplugging support for joysticks
833* Added a hint SDL_HINT_ACCELEROMETER_AS_JOYSTICK to control whether the accelerometer should be listed as a 3 axis joystick, which it will by default.
834
835
836---------------------------------------------------------------------------
8372.0.1:
838---------------------------------------------------------------------------
839
840General:
841* Added an API to get common filesystem paths in SDL_filesystem.h:
842 SDL_GetBasePath(), SDL_GetPrefPath()
843* Added an API to do optimized YV12 and IYUV texture updates:
844 SDL_UpdateYUVTexture()
845* Added an API to get the amount of RAM on the system:
846 SDL_GetSystemRAM()
847* Added a macro to perform timestamp comparisons with SDL_GetTicks():
848 SDL_TICKS_PASSED()
849* Dramatically improved OpenGL ES 2.0 rendering performance
850* Added OpenGL attribute SDL_GL_FRAMEBUFFER_SRGB_CAPABLE
851
852Windows:
853* Created a static library configuration for the Visual Studio 2010 project
854* Added a hint to create the Direct3D device with support for multi-threading:
855 SDL_HINT_RENDER_DIRECT3D_THREADSAFE
856* Added a function to get the D3D9 adapter index for a display:
857 SDL_Direct3D9GetAdapterIndex()
858* Added a function to get the D3D9 device for a D3D9 renderer:
859 SDL_RenderGetD3D9Device()
860* Fixed building SDL with the mingw32 toolchain (mingw-w64 is preferred)
861* Fixed crash when using two XInput controllers at the same time
862* Fixed detecting a mixture of XInput and DirectInput controllers
863* Fixed clearing a D3D render target larger than the window
864* Improved support for format specifiers in SDL_snprintf()
865
866Mac OS X:
867* Added support for retina displays:
868 Create your window with the SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI flag, and then use SDL_GL_GetDrawableSize() to find the actual drawable size. You are responsible for scaling mouse and drawing coordinates appropriately.
869* Fixed mouse warping in fullscreen mode
870* Right mouse click is emulated by holding the Ctrl key while left clicking
871
872Linux:
873* Fixed float audio support with the PulseAudio driver
874* Fixed missing line endpoints in the OpenGL renderer on some drivers
875* X11 symbols are no longer defined to avoid collisions when linking statically
876
877iOS:
878* Fixed status bar visibility on iOS 7
879* Flipped the accelerometer Y axis to match expected values
880
881Android:
882IMPORTANT: You MUST get the updated SDLActivity.java to match C code
883* Moved EGL initialization to native code
884* Fixed the accelerometer axis rotation relative to the device rotation
885* Fixed race conditions when handling the EGL context on pause/resume
886* Touch devices are available for enumeration immediately after init
887
888Raspberry Pi:
889* Added support for the Raspberry Pi, see README-raspberrypi.txt for details
