microsecond timestamp to SDL_SensorEvent and SDL_ControllerSensorEvent, when the hardware provides that information * Added SDL_SensorGetDataWithTimestamp() and SDL_GameControllerGetSensorDataWithTimestamp() to retrieve the last sensor data with the associated microsecond timestamp * Added the hint SDL_HINT_HIDAPI_IGNORE_DEVICES to have the SDL HID API ignore specific devices * SDL_GetRevision() now includes more information about the SDL build, including the git commit hash if available Windows: * Added the hint SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_SYSTEM_SCALE to control whether the system mouse acceleration curve is used for relative mouse motion macOS: * Implemented vsync synchronization on macOS 12 Linux: * Added SDL_SetPrimarySelectionText(),

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.24.0: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- General: * New version numbering scheme, similar to GLib and Flatpak. * An even number in the minor version (second component) indicates a production-ready stable release such as 2.24.0, which would have been 2.0.24 under the old system. * The patchlevel (micro version, third component) indicates a bugfix-only update: for example, 2.24.1 would be a bugfix-only release to fix bugs in 2.24.0, without adding new features. * An odd number in the minor version indicates a prerelease such as 2.23.0. Stable distributions should not use these prereleases. * The patchlevel indicates successive prereleases, for example 2.23.1 and 2.23.2 would be prereleases during development of the SDL 2.24.0 stable release. * Added SDL_GetPointDisplayIndex() and SDL_GetRectDisplayIndex() to get the display associated with a point and rectangle in screen space * Added SDL_bsearch(), SDL_crc16(), and SDL_utf8strnlen() to the stdlib routines * Added SDL_CPUPauseInstruction() as a macro in SDL_atomic.h * Added SDL_size_mul_overflow() and SDL_size_add_overflow() for better size overflow protection * Added SDL_ResetHint() to reset a hint to the default value * Added SDL_ResetKeyboard() to reset SDL's internal keyboard state, generating key up events for all currently pressed keys * Added the hint SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_WARP_MOTION to control whether mouse warping generates motion events in relative mode. This hint defaults off. * Added the hint SDL_HINT_TRACKPAD_IS_TOUCH_ONLY to control whether trackpads are treated as touch devices or mice. By default touchpads are treated as mouse input. * The hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_JOY_CONS now defaults on * Added support for mini-gamepad mode for Nintendo Joy-Con controllers using the HIDAPI driver * Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_COMBINE_JOY_CONS to control whether Joy-Con controllers are automatically merged into a unified gamepad when using the HIDAPI driver. This hint defaults on. * The hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_SWITCH_HOME_LED can be set to a floating point value to set the brightness of the Home LED on Nintendo Switch controllers * Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_JOYCON_HOME_LED to set the Home LED brightness for the Nintendo Joy-Con controllers.
