Release News
============
This describes the latest changes between the PySDL2 releases.

0.9.13
------

Released on 2022-07-26.

New Features:

* Updated to wrap new functions and constants in SDL2_ttf 2.20.0 (PR #236).
* Updated to wrap new functions and constants in SDL2_mixer 2.6.0 (PR #237).
* Updated to wrap new functions and constants in SDL2_image 2.6.0 (PR #238).
* Added a new function :func:`sdl2.ext.load_svg` that allows loading simple SVG
  images at arbitrary resolutions with SDL2_image 2.6.0 or later (PR #238).
* Added experimental bindings for the new functions and constants in the
  SDL2 2.23.1 pre-release (PR #240).


0.9.12
------

Released on 2022-07-18.

New Features:

* Updated to wrap new functions and constants in SDL2 2.0.22 (PR #226)
* Added a new stable API for accessing the raw ctypes function bindings for each
  submodule. Each submodule (e.g. ``sdl2.sdlttf``, ``sdl2.video``) now contains
  a ``_ctypes`` object through which the raw ctypes function objects can be
  accessed by attribute or dict key (e.g. ``sdlttf._ctypes.TTF_Linked_Version``
  or ``sdl2.timer._ctypes["SDL_GetTicks"]``). This new API allows proper access
  to the ctypes function objects for the ``sdlttf``, ``sdlmixer``, ``sdlimage``,
  and ``sdlgfx`` modules (which have been migrated to thin Python function
  wrappers around the ctypes bindings), and also allows developers to write code
  that will not break when other SDL2 modules are eventually migrated to similar
  Python-wrapped bindings.


Fixed Bugs:

* Fixed a bug in :func:`~sdl2.rw_from_object` where calling 
  :func:`~sdl2.SDL_RWsize` on the resulting object would change the RWops'
  current byte position unexpectedly.
* Fixed the type of the datasize argument for :func:`~sdl2.SDL_LoadFile`
  to be a pointer to a `c_size_t` (was previously just `c_size_t`).
* Fixed namespace export for :func:`~sdl2.SDL_RenderSetVSync` (issue #219)
* Re-added direction field for :obj:`~sdl2.SDL_MouseWheelEvent` events, which
  was accidentally removed in PySDL2 0.9.10 (issue #217)
* Fixed namespace export for ``AUDIO_F32MSB`` and
  :obj:`~sdl2.SDL_AudioDeviceEvent`.
* Fixed :func:`~sdl2.SDL_LoadFile` with Python 3 and old versions of SDL2 (2.0.9
  and older).
* Fixed a bug in :class:`~sdl2.ext.FontTTF` that prevented rendering text with
  empty lines.
* Fixed a bug in :class:`~sdl2.ext.Renderer` that prevented users from
  requesting a renderer backend by name (PR #224)
* Changed :func:`~sdl2.SDL_abs` to be an actual ctypes binding instead of an
  alias for Python's built-in ``abs`` function.
* Renamed the ``SDL_Blit`` ctypes function definition to ``SDL_blit`` to match
  the SDL2 headers.
* Fixed export of ``SDL_TIMER_RESOLUTION`` hint (was previously not accessable
  through the ``sdl2`` namespace).
* Updated ``sdl2.dll.version`` to better handle SDL2's new versioning format
  and fixed unit tests accordingly (issue #228).
* Fixed various unit tests on big-endian platforms (PR #232).
* Fixed 32-bit wraparound behaviour for ``SDL_TICKS_PASSED`` (PR #235).
* Fixed ``SDL_MUSTLOCK`` to allow checking surface pointers in addition to
  surfaces.


0.9.11
------

Released on 2022-01-27.

New Features:

* Updated to wrap new functions and constants in SDL2 2.0.20 (PR #214)
* Updated to wrap new functions and constants in SDL2_ttf 2.0.18 (PR #216)


0.9.10
------

Released on 2022-01-11.

New Features:

* Updated the :mod:`~sdl2.sdlttf`, :mod:`~sdl2.sdlimage`, :mod:`~sdl2.sdlmixer`,
  and :mod:`~sdl2.sdlgfx` modules to use a new method of ctypes wrapping that
  allows functions to support kwargs (i.e. using function arguments by name),
  inline documentation, and more flexible handling of argument types and
  SDL errors (PR #199)
* Updated to wrap new functions and constants in SDL2 2.0.18 (PR #197)
* Added full inline documentation for the :mod:`~sdl2.sdlttf`,
  :mod:`~sdl2.sdlimage`, and :mod:`~sdl2.sdlgfx` modules, as well as partial
  inline documentation for the :mod:`~sdl2.sdlmixer` modlue. In addition to
  Python-specific argument and return types, the new docstrings also include
  including code examples and documentation of Python-specific quirks (PR #200)
* Update bindings to allow for experimental SDL 2.0.3 support. Versions of SDL2
  this old are not officially supported, but this should allow for basic PySDL2
  support on old PowerPC macs (PR #202)
* Added new :func:`~sdl2.ext.isiterable` and :func:`~sdl2.ext.utf8` Python 2/3
  compatibility functions to the :mod:`~sdl2.ext.compat` module for checking if
  an object is a non-string iterable and for converting input to a UTF-8 unicode
  string, respectively (PR #204)
* The :func:`sdl2.ext.subsurface` function has been re-documented and rewritten
  to have improved input handling and type checking (PR #204)
* Improved inference of compression format for .tar archives in the
  :mod:`sdl2.ext.resources` submodule (PR #204)
* Added a new function :func:`sdl2.ext.surface_to_ndarray` that returns a
  non-transposed copy of a given SDL surface as a 2D or 3D Numpy array (PR #204)
* Added new functions :func:`sdl2.ext.load_bmp` and :func:`sdl2.ext.load_img`
  for importing image files using SDL2 and SDL_image, respectively. Both new
  functions automatically convert the obtained surfaces to the ARGB8888 pixel
  format by default (PR #205)
* Added a new function :func:`sdl2.ext.save_bmp` for saving SDL surfaces to
  BMP files (PR #205)
* Added a new function :func:`sdl2.ext.pillow_to_surface` for converting
  :obj:`PIL.Image.Image` objects from the Pillow library to SDL
  surfaces (PR #205)
* Added a new class :class:`sdl2.ext.Texture` for creating renderer textures
  from SDL surfaces, as a basic wrapper for the :obj:`sdl2.SDL_Texture`
  structure (PR #207)
* Added a new function :func:`sdl2.ext.set_texture_scale_quality` that globally
  sets the scaling method (nearest-neighbour, linear filtering, or anisotropic
  filtering) to use for new SDL textures (PR #207)
* Added a new method :meth:`sdl2.ext.Renderer.reset_logical_size` to reset a
  Renderer's logical size to its original value (PR #207)
* Added a new method :meth:`sdl2.ext.Renderer.destroy` to safely destroy and
  free memory associated with a Renderer after it is no longer needed (PR #207)
* Added support for subpixel precision (i.e. using float coordinates)
  with the drawing and copying methods of the :class:`~sdl2.ext.Renderer` class
  when using SDL2 2.0.10 or newer (PR #207)
* Added :meth:`sdl2.ext.Renderer.blit` as an alias for the 
  :meth:`sdl2.ext.Renderer.copy` method (PR #207)
* Added a new method :meth:`~sdl2.ext.BitmapFont.remap` to the
  :obj:`~sdl2.ext.BitmapFont` class to allow specifying custom character
  widths and heights for each mapped character in a bitmap font (PR #208)
* Added a new argument ``line_h`` to :meth:`sdl2.ext.BitmapFont.render_on` to
  allow specifying custom line heights (PR #208)
* Added the :class:`~sdl2.ext.FontTTF` class, providing a new and flexible
  Pythonic wrapper around the :mod:`~sdl2.sdlttf` module for opening and
  rendering text with TrueType and OpenType fonts. New features include custom
  line heights for multi-line text, left/right/center justification operations
  for multiline text, and specifying font sizes in units of pixels in addition
  to pt (PR #210)
* Updated PySDL2 to automatically find and use Homebrew SDL2 binaries on
  Apple Silicon macs if no other usable binaries can be found.

Fixed Bugs:

* Fixed a typo in the :mod:`~sdl2.sdlttf` bindings where an alias for the
  :func:`~sdl2.sdlttf.TTF_RenderUTF8_Shaded` function was incorrectly bound to
  ``TTF_RenderUTF`` instead of ``TTF_RenderUTF8``.
* Fixed a bug introduced in 0.9.9 where the ``SDL_WINDOW_INPUT_GRABBED``
  constant was no longer exported.
* :class:`~sdl2.ext.MemoryView` and :class:`~sdl2.ext.PixelAccess` objects now
  support negative indexing (e.g. ``arr[-1][-1]`` for accessing the last element
  in a 2D array). In previous versions, negative indices would retrieve values
  from undefined sections of memory outside the surface (PR #204)
* Changed the functions in the :mod:`sdl2.ext.pixelaccess` module to no longer
  try to unlock RLE surfaces once their corresponding view objects are deleted.
  This prevents a segmentation fault when a view is garbage-collected but the
  surface has already been freed (PR #204)
* Fixed a bug where the rectangle returned by
  :meth:`sdl2.ext.BitmapFont.render_on` would overestimate the size of the
  rendered text by one character in both width and height (PR #208)
* :meth:`sdl2.ext.BitmapFont.contains` no longer assumes that the font map
  contains a space (PR #208)
* Rendering multiline text with the :class:`sdl2.ext.BitmapFont` class now
  always splits lines using the newline (``\n``) character. Previously on
  Windows, it would only split on Windows-style line endings (``\r\n``) (PR #208)

API Changes:

* Updated and redocumented the :func:`~sdl2.ext.stringify` and
  :func:`~sdl2.ext.byteify` Python 2/3 compatibility functions to better handle
  bytes encoding/decoding and no longer require specifying an encoding type
  (defaults to UTF-8 if not manually specified) (PR #204)
* The :func:`~sdl2.ext.subsurface` function now allows subsurface areas to be
  specified using :obj:`~sdl2.SDL_Rect` objects and surfaces to be passed either
  directly or as a pointer (PR #204)
* The :func:`sdl2.ext.pixels2d` and :func:`sdl2.ext.pixels3d` functions no
  longer raise an ``ExperimentalWarning`` (PR #204)
* Updated the :meth:`~sdl2.ext.Renderer.draw_line` and
  :meth:`~sdl2.ext.Renderer.draw_point` methods of the
  :class:`~sdl2.ext.Renderer` class to accept coordinates as lists of ``(x, y)``
  tuples or :obj:`~sdl2.SDL_Point` in addition to flat ``[x, y, x, y, x, y]``
  lists (PR #207)
* Updated the :meth:`~sdl2.ext.Renderer.draw_rect` and
  :meth:`~sdl2.ext.Renderer.fill` methods of the
  :class:`~sdl2.ext.Renderer` class to accept coordinates as lists of
  :obj:`~sdl2.SDL_Rect` in addition to lists of ``(x, y, w, h)``
  tuples (PR #207)
* Updated the :meth:`~sdl2.ext.Renderer.copy` method of the
  :class:`~sdl2.ext.Renderer` class to accept an ``(x, y)`` tuple as a
  destination, inferring the destination width and height from the dimensions
  of the copied texture (PR #207)
* Changed the ``index`` argument for the :class:`~sdl2.ext.Renderer` class to
  take the name of the reqested rendering back end as a string instead of an
  index for better clarity and cross-platform consistency (PR #207)

Deprecation Notices:

* The :func:`sdl2.ext.open_url` function has been deprecated (PR #204)
* The :func:`sdl2.ext.load_image` function has been deprecated, as it
  unexpectedly produces different surface formats depending on the backend used.
  New projects should use the new :func:`sdl2.ext.load_img`,
  :func:`sdl2.ext.load_bmp`, and/or :func:`sdl2.ext.pillow_to_surface` functions
  instead (PR #205)
* The :func:`sdl2.ext.get_image_formats` function has been deprecated, as it
  gives inaccurate results in most cases (PR #205)
* The :meth:`sdl2.ext.BitmapFont.can_render` method has been deprecated (PR #208)
* The :meth:`sdl2.ext.BitmapFont.render` method has been deprecated in favor of
  :meth:`sdl2.ext.BitmapFont.render_text`, which returns an SDL surface instead
  of a SoftwareSprite and ensures the output surface is in ARGB8888 format by
  default (PR #208)
* The :class:`~sdl2.ext.UIFactory` and :class:`~sdl2.ext.UIProcessor` classes
  have been deprecated due to their complexity and maintenance burden. New
  functions and classes for creating GUIs with PySDL2 may be introduced in a
  future release (PR #209)
* The :class:`~sdl2.ext.FontManager` class has been deprecated in favor of the
  new and more flexible :class:`~sdl2.ext.FontTTF` class (PR #210)
