When compiling with -Wconversion, gcc complains about a cast in SDL_endian.h
that might change the result as we are casting from an int into an Uint16. This
is of course not visible unless we are on a non-x86 platform where the
assembler is not available.
While it's not really an error, the warning is really annoying. To fix, change
SDL_endian.h line 87 to:
return(Uint16)((x<<8)|(x>>8));
Thank you.
* Switched event type to enum (int32)
* Switched polling by mask to polling by type range
* Added SDL_RegisterEvents() to allow dynamic user event registration
* Spread events out to allow inserting new related events without breaking binary compatibility
* Added padding to event structures so they're the same size regardless of 32-bit compiler structure packing settings
* Split SDL_HasEvent() to SDL_HasEvent() for a single event and SDL_HasEvents() for a range of events
* Added SDL_GetEventState() as a shortcut for SDL_EventState(X, SDL_QUERY)
* Added SDL_FlushEvent() and SDL_FlushEvents() to clear events from the event queue

It seems the SDLK_LMETA and SDLK_RMETA constants have been removed from SDL
1.3. I grepped for them in the SDL source tree and these were the only hits:
./include/SDL_compat.h:230:#define SDLK_LSUPER SDLK_LMETA
./include/SDL_compat.h:231:#define SDLK_RSUPER SDLK_RMETA
./src/video/bwindow/SDL_BWin.h:194: keymap[0x66] = SDLK_LMETA;
./src/video/bwindow/SDL_BWin.h:195: keymap[0x67] = SDLK_RMETA;
I don't know how compatible SDL 1.3 is supposed to be with applications
designed for SDL 1.2. However, as you can see, SDL itself is still trying to
use the removed constants, and that is clearly a bug.
Because SDL_compat.h defines KMOD_LMETA as KMOD_LGUI, I suppose it should also
define SDLK_LMETA as SDLK_LGUI, and SDLK_RMETA likewise.

Hello,
I originally added pth support for threads in SDL 1.2 because on the Atari
platform we did not have any thread library.
I think pth support could be removed from SDL 1.3 for two reasons:
- Atari platform removed
- pth does not provides real (preemptive) threads, because it is user space,
and expect the application to call one of its function to give CPU to another
thread. So it is not exactly useful for applications, that expect threads to
run simultaneously.
Renamed SDL_RenderPoint() and SDL_RenderLine() to SDL_RenderDrawPoint() and SDL_RenderDrawLine().
Added API for rectangle drawing (as opposed to filling)
Added placeholder API functions for circles and ellipses ... I'm not sure whether these will stay.
Optimized software line drawing quite a bit.
Added support for Wu's anti-aliased line drawing, currently disabled by default.
The thread ID is an unsigned long so it can hold pthread_t so people can do naughty things with it.
I'm going to be adding additional useful thread API functions, but this should prevent crashes in people's existing code on 64-bit architectures.

The SDL_MouseMotionEvent struct has a field named "tilt" (currently marked "for
future use"), for tablet stylus tilt information. However, one value is not
enough for this, as tilt is two-dimensional. Reserving only one field for
future use is no good when you're going to need two, so there should be two
fields, tilt_x and tilt_y.

Patch to use stdlib.h with Open Watcom
Open Watcom 1.8 has <stdlib.h> so instead of patch the single part when stdlib
features are used we use directly the include file as with GCC.
