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.
Whoever provided the window has already set it up the way they want it.
Fixes SDL removing iconified or maximized state when creating a window from an existing OS window.
Move the Wayland pointer warp emulation code up to the SDL mouse layer, and activate it when a client attempts to warp a hidden mouse cursor when the hint is set.
testrelative adds the ability to test the warp emulation activation/deactivation with the --warp parameter and 'c' key for toggling cursor visibility.
When the phone is in portrait mode and the window is in landscape mode, the view changes orientation after layoutSubviews runs. In this case we need some way of notifying the application that the Metal view has changed.
On iOS, the application gets one last change to process messages before going into the background. We do the same on Android, which more closely matches the previous behavior.
This change also decouples the pause/resume handling from the video subsystem on Android, so applications that don't use SDL for video can get application life cycle events.
The semantics for the life cycle events are that they need to be handled in an event watch callback, and once they've been delivered, the application will block until it's been resumed. SDL_HINT_ANDROID_BLOCK_ON_PAUSE can be used to control that behavior, and if that's set to "0", then the application will continue to run in the background at low CPU usage until being resumed or stopped.
SDL_HINT_ANDROID_BLOCK_ON_PAUSE_PAUSEAUDIO has been removed, and the audio will be paused when the application is paused.

Cursor visibility in the SDL input layer only reflects whether ShowCursor/HideCursor was called. In the case of relative mode, the cursor can be hidden, but the SDL_Mouse visibility flag will be true.
Track cursor visibility separately in the X11 driver. Fixes the cursor becoming visible when using the warping relative mode with XWayland.
We're limiting the functions to rects with positions and sizes < 1 billion for speed, which is totally fine for most SDL use cases. If you need rectangles larger than that, you can roll your own functions that use 64-bit intermediate values and do proper overflow handling of output values.

Support Copy in addition to Generic as Drag and Drop operation,
Register and Support public.utf8-plain-text for SDL_EVENT_DROP_TEXT.
* A floating point rectangle contains all points >= x and <= x + w
* A floating point rectangle is only empty if it has negative width. The zero rectangle contains the zero point.
* Adjacent floating point rectangles intersect along their shared side

SDL_BlitSurfaceScaled() is more flexible and uses the SDL_SoftStretch() fast path when possible. Having two surface scaling APIs was confusing, especially when one of them has unexpected limitations.
This was originally to avoid duplicating clipping work in Maelstrom on a 486 computer. This has been confusing for users and computers are a little faster these days, so we'll make it work the way people expect.
