sdl12-compat 1.2.58 PRERELEASE

What is this?

This is a PRERELEASE version of sdl12-compat. If everything looks good, we'll ship this as 1.2.60, so you have an even number and no chance you're still on a prerelease or development version.

PLEASE TEST THIS.

A list of things of known SDL 1.2 apps is here. Some tips on testing are in HOW_TO_TEST_GAMES.md. Please jump in and try things!

What works now?

Some apps and games that have started working with this release:

  • Civilization: Call To Power (yes, the 23-year-old binaries from Loki!)
  • OpenXcom (again!)
  • icculus.org Quake 2.
  • tucnak (again!)
  • Many, many others!

Significant changes

  • macOS apps built with sdl12-compat's headers are now binary compatible with classic SDL 1.2.
  • Added SDL12COMPAT_MAX_VIDMODE hint to stop apps that misbehave at high resolutions they never imagined.
  • Thread safety fixes to rendering.
  • Fixed crash while manipulating surface destination alpha.
  • Fix mouse coordinates when moving into a scaled window's letterboxing.
  • We no longer try to simulate a hardware palette (8-bit, paletted games are still supported, though!).
  • We no longer provide 24-bit screen surfaces (only 16 or 32, which matches SDL 1.2 better).
  • Better support for building sdl12-compat with OpenWatcom.
  • Fixed mousewheel events always reporting a mouse position of 0,0.
  • Several CMake fixes.
  • Fixed potential crash on startup.
  • Deal with apps that expect to have either a "windib" or "directx" 1.2 video backend on Windows.
  • Updated dr_mp3 to a later revision, for faking CD-ROM audio with a directory full of MP3s.
  • Other fixes and improvements.
