- SDL_RWops is now an opaque struct.
- SDL_AllocRW is gone. If an app is creating a custom RWops, they pass the
function pointers to SDL_CreateRW(), which are stored internally.
- SDL_RWclose is gone, there is only SDL_DestroyRW(), which calls the
implementation's `->close` method before freeing other things.
- There is only one path to create and use RWops now, so we don't have to
worry about whether `->close` will call SDL_DestroyRW, or if this will
risk any Properties not being released, etc.
- SDL_RWFrom* still works as expected, for getting a RWops without having
to supply your own implementation. Objects from these functions are also
destroyed with SDL_DestroyRW.
- Lots of other cleanup and SDL3ization of the library code.
- Always use internal qsort and bsearch implementation.
- add "_r" reentrant versions.
The reasons for always using the internal versions is that the C runtime
versions' callbacks are not mark STDCALL, so we would have add bridge
functions for them anyhow, The C runtime qsort_r/qsort_s have different
orders of arguments on different platforms, and most importantly: qsort()
isn't a stable sort, and isn't guaranteed to give the same ordering for
two objects marked as equal by the callback...as such, Visual Studio and
glibc can give different sort results for the same data set...in this
sense, having one piece of code shared on all platforms makes sense here,
for reliabillity.
bsearch does not have a standard _r version at all, and suffers from the
same SDLCALL concern. Since the code is simple and we would have to work
around the C runtime, it's easier to just go with the built-in function
and remove all the CMake C runtime tests.
Fixes#9159.
This better reflects how HDR content is actually used, e.g. most content is in the SDR range, with specular highlights and bright details beyond the SDR range, in the HDR headroom.
This more closely matches how HDR is handled on Apple platforms, as EDR.
This also greatly simplifies application code which no longer has to think about color scaling. SDR content is rendered at the appropriate brightness automatically, and HDR content is scaled to the correct range for the display HDR headroom.
- Simplified public API, simplified backend interface.
- Camera device hotplug events.
- Thread code is split up so it backends that provide own threads can use it.
- Added "dummy" backend.
Note that CoreMedia (Apple) and Android backends need to be updated, as does
the testcamera app (testcameraminimal works).
Eventually we can re-add a fast path for that data down to the individual renderers. Setting color scale would still require converting to float, and most hardware accelerated renderers prefer to consume colors as float, so this requires some thought and performance testing.

The renderer will always use the sRGB colorspace for drawing, and will default to the sRGB output colorspace. If you want blending in linear space and HDR support, you can select the scRGB output colorspace, which is supported by the direct3d11 and direct3d12
