These changes enable the Logitech G29 wheel to run on hidapi with both SDL_Joystick and SDL_Haptic interfaces.
While it is already possible to use the wheel on Linux in WINE + SDL2 thanks to the in-tree evdev driver as well as new-lg4ff, these set of changes allow the G29 to be used with WINE under MacOS and FreeBSD
These wheels should also be supported, but I can only test them from G29's compat modes: G27, G25, DFGT, DFP, DFEX
Haptic and led support are ported from https://github.com/berarma/new-lg4ff
The MSVC compiler determines the encoding of the source code based on
the BOM of the source code when reading it. If there is no BOM, it
defaults to the local encoding, which is gb2312, codepage 936, on
Simplified Chinese Windows. This can cause errors such as newline
characters in strings.
SDL_HINT_QUIT_ON_LAST_WINDOW_CLOSE will not fire if there are active tray icons. This impacts only applications that create tray icons, and that at least one icon outlives the last visible top-level window. SDL_EVENT_QUIT will fire when the last active tray is destroyed if there are no active windows.
This changes the API in various ways, and updates the backends for this.
Overall, this is a massive simplification of the API, as most future backends
can't support the previously-offered API.
This also removes the testautomation pen code (not only did these interfaces
change completely, it also did something no other test did: mock the internal
API), and replaces testpen.c with a different implementation (the existing
code was fine, it was just easier to start from scratch than update it).
Although BSCMAKE is still installed with Visual Studio,
it is no longer used by the IDE.
Since Visual Studio 2008, browse and symbol information is stored
automatically in a SQL Server .sdf file in the solution folder.
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.
