The current status is stored in the SDL_rwops 'status' field to be able to determine whether a 0 return value is caused by end of file, an error, or a non-blocking source not being ready.
The functions to read sized datatypes now return SDL_bool so you can detect read errors.

Add SDL_ShowWindowSystemMenu() to display the system-level menu for windows. Typically, this is done by right-clicking on the system provided window decorations, however, if an application is rendering its own client-side decorations, there is currently no way to display it. This menu is provided by the system and can provide privileged desktop functionality such as moving or pinning a window to a specific workspace or display, setting the always-on-top property, or taking screenshots. In many cases, there are no APIs which allow applications to perform these actions manually.
Implemented for Wayland via functionality provided by the xdg_toplevel protocol, Win32 via the undocumented message 0x313 (typically called WM_POPUPSYSTEMMENU), and X11 via the "_GTK_SHOW_WINDOW_MENU" atom (supported in GNOME and KDE).
This rips up the entire SDL audio subsystem! While we still feed the audio device from a separate thread, the audio callback into the app is now gone a totally optional alternative.
Now the app will bind an SDL_AudioStream to a given device and feed data to it. As many streams as one likes can be bound to a device; SDL will mix them all into a single buffer and feed the device from there.
So not only does this function as a basic mixer, it also means that multiple device opens are handled seamlessly (so if you want to open the device for your game, but you also link to a library that provides VoIP and it wants to open the device separately, you don't have to worry about stepping on each other, or that the OS will fail to allow multiple opens of the same device, etc).
Merged from pull request #7704.
Fixes#7379.
Reference Issue #6889.
Reference Issue #6632.
Now you open an audio device and attach streams, as planned, but each
open generates a new logical device. Each logical device has its own
streams that are managed as a group, but all streams on all logical
devices are mixed into a single buffer for a single OS-level open of
the physical device.
This allows multiple opens of a device that won't interfere with each
other and also clean up just what the opener assigned to their logical
device, so all their streams will go away on close but other opens will
continue to mix as they were.
More or less, this makes things work as expected at the app level, but
also gives them the power to group audio streams, and (once added) pause
them all at once, etc.
Also renamed most cases of SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_UNKNOWN to SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_STANDARD, and SDL_GetGamepadType() will return SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_UNKNOWN only if the gamepad is invalid.
Also renamed SDL_GetDisplayOrientation() SDL_GetDisplayCurrentOrientation()
The natural orientation of the primary display is the frame of reference for accelerometer and gyro sensor readings.
We have gotten feedback that abstracting the coordinate system based on the display scale is unexpected and it is difficult to adapt existing applications to the proposed API.
The new approach is to provide the coordinate systems that people expect, but provide additional information that will help applications properly handle high DPI situations.
The concepts needed for high DPI support are documented in README-highdpi.md. An example of automatically adapting the content to display scale changes can be found in SDL_test_common.c, where auto_scale_content is checked.
Also, the SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI window flag has been replaced by the SDL_HINT_VIDEO_ENABLE_HIGH_PIXEL_DENSITY hint.

Re-writes the clipboard data handling in wayland to an on demand
solution where callbacks are provided to generate/provide the clipboard
data when requested by the OS.
- SDL_AudioCVT is gone, even internally.
- libsamplerate is gone (I suspect our resampler is finally Good Enough).
- Cleanups and improvements to audio conversion interfaces.
- SDL_AudioStream can change its input/output format/rate/channels on the fly!
It turns out there's a race condition on X11 where the window could be placed by the window manager while being placed by the application, so we need to have the initial position available at window creation.
For SDL dynapi to work, the SDL_DYNAPI_entry symbol must be externally visible.
Adding __attribute__((visibility(default))) would not work
since version scripts override these.
Add the CreatePopupWindow function to allow the creation of child tooltip and menu popup windows. Popup windows must be created as either a tooltip or popup menu and cannot be minimized, maximized, made fullscreen, or grab the mouse.
Child popup windows are tracked and will be recursively hidden, shown, or destroyed in tandem with the parent window.
This function wasn't consistently correct across platforms and devices.
If you want the UI scale factor, you can use display_scale in the structure returned by SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode(). If you need an approximate DPI, you can multiply this value times 160 on iPhone and Android, and 96 on other platforms.
This fixes rounding errors with coordinate scaling and gives more flexibility in the presentation, as well as making it easy to maintain device independent resolution as windows move between different pixel density displays.
By default when a renderer is created, it will match the window size so window coordinates and render coordinates are 1-1.
Mouse and touch events are no longer filtered to change their coordinates, instead you can call SDL_ConvertEventToRenderCoordinates() to explicitly map event coordinates into the rendering viewport.
SDL_RenderWindowToLogical() and SDL_RenderLogicalToWindow() have been renamed SDL_RenderCoordinatesFromWindow() and SDL_RenderCoordinatesToWindow() and take floating point coordinates in both directions.
The viewport, clipping state, and scale for render targets are now persistent and will remain set whenever they are active.
Rather than iterating over display modes using an index, there is a new function SDL_GetFullscreenDisplayModes() to get the list of available fullscreen modes on a display.
{
SDL_DisplayID display = SDL_GetPrimaryDisplay();
int num_modes = 0;
SDL_DisplayMode **modes = SDL_GetFullscreenDisplayModes(display, &num_modes);
if (modes) {
for (i = 0; i < num_modes; ++i) {
SDL_DisplayMode *mode = modes[i];
SDL_Log("Display %" SDL_PRIu32 " mode %d: %dx%d@%gHz, %d%% scale\n",
display, i, mode->pixel_w, mode->pixel_h, mode->refresh_rate, (int)(mode->display_scale * 100.0f));
}
SDL_free(modes);
}
}
SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode() and SDL_GetCurrentDisplayMode() return pointers to display modes rather than filling in application memory.
Windows now have an explicit fullscreen mode that is set, using SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode(). The fullscreen mode for a window can be queried with SDL_GetWindowFullscreenMode(), which returns a pointer to the mode, or NULL if the window will be fullscreen desktop. SDL_SetWindowFullscreen() just takes a boolean value, setting the correct fullscreen state based on the selected mode.
