Everything in SDL3 up to the ABI lock is reported as available since 3.1.3.
Everything else will be reported as since 3.2.0 (what will be the first
official release).
Also ran a Perl script over the headers to change everything to 3.1.3 that
wasn't an API function, since fnsince.pl can't manage those. If there's a
macro or datatype that has snuck in that needs to be 3.2.0 instead, we'll
have to manually fix it up, but it shouldn't be a big deal in any case.
Reference PR #11304.
We require stdbool.h in the build environment, so we might as well use the plain bool type.
If your environment doesn't have stdbool.h, this simple replacement will suffice:
typedef signed char bool;
Most SDL functions used to indicate success or failure using an int return code. These functions have been changed to return SDL_bool.
Here is a coccinelle patch to change code that previously compared the return value to 0 and changes it to a boolean test:

It was intended to make the API easier to use, but various automatic garbage collection all had flaws, and making the application periodically clean up temporary memory added cognitive load to using the API, and in many cases was it was difficult to restructure threaded code to handle this.
So, we're largely going back to the original system, where the API returns allocated results and you free them.
In addition, to solve the problems we originally wanted temporary memory for:
* Short strings with a finite count, like device names, get stored in a per-thread string pool.
* Events continue to use temporary memory internally, which is cleaned up on the next event processing cycle.
Implemented using these sed commands on the headers:
sed -E -i'' '/SDLCALL|;/ s,([a-z])\* ,\1 *,g' *
sed -E -i'' 's,(\(.*[^\*])\* ([a-z])(.*\)),\1*\2\3,g' *
sed -E -i'' 's,\*const,* const,g' *
sed -E -i'' 's,\*SDLCALL,* SDLCALL,g' *
sed -E -i'' 's,void\(,void (,g' *
git checkout *gl*
SDL_Surface has been simplified and internal details are no longer in the public structure.
The `format` member of SDL_Surface is now an enumerated pixel format value. You can get the full details of the pixel format by calling `SDL_GetPixelFormatDetails(surface->format)`. You can get the palette associated with the surface by calling SDL_GetSurfacePalette(). You can get the clip rectangle by calling SDL_GetSurfaceClipRect().
SDL_PixelFormat has been renamed SDL_PixelFormatDetails and just describes the pixel format, it does not include a palette for indexed pixel types.
SDL_PixelFormatEnum has been renamed SDL_PixelFormat and is used instead of Uint32 for API functions that refer to pixel format by enumerated value.
SDL_MapRGB(), SDL_MapRGBA(), SDL_GetRGB(), and SDL_GetRGBA() take an optional palette parameter for indexed color lookups.
This declares that any `const char *` returned from SDL is owned by SDL, and
promises to be valid _at least_ until the next time the event queue runs, or
SDL_Quit() is called, even if the thing that owns the string gets destroyed
or changed before then.
This is noted in the headers as "the SDL_GetStringRule", so this will both be
greppable to find a detailed explaination in docs/README-strings.md and
wikiheaders will automatically turn it into a link we can point at the
appropriate documentation.
Fixes#9902.
(and several FIXMEs, both known and yet-undocumented.)
This is just stuff I noticed while working on the wikiheaders updates. A
thorough pass over all the docs would not be terrible, and maybe a simple
script to check for consistency (does everything have a `\since` on it? etc)
might be nice, too.
