I’m in the process of switching over SDL 1.3 to SDL2. It’ll be a lengthy
process because there’s a lot of documentation that refers to SDL 1.3, but
I wanted to give everyone a heads up.
One of the implications of this is that I’m removing the compatibility
layer, and future SDL_* libraries are also going to switch to SDL2, e.g.
SDL2_image, etc.
Cheers!
That’s really awesome Sam! It might step on a few people’s toes, but it’s
for the greater good, I think.
Keep up the good work!

Hello,
If someone else wanted to maintain it, I wonder if a SDL2_compat could be a
separate library? Can you please give an idea if this would be impossible,
or too hard to do? I’m guessing it would be impossible, since there aren’t
really any hooks for it.
So the migration process for old code is now port to SDL2? It should be
impossible to write a library that uses either 1.2 or 2.

How can we help you on wiki part ?
Can I just rename SDL1.3 to SDL2 in first step ?

Sure, if you want to change 1.3 to 2.0 in the wiki that would be very
helpful. Let me know once you have a wiki account and I’ll give you edit
access.

You wouldn’t want it as a separate library, but I’ll definitely put the
zlib licensed SDL_compat.h/c up as a resource for people to use or learn
from.On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 12:19 AM, Ren? Dudfield wrote:

I think this is possible to do; part of the problem with the compat
layer is the intermingling of incompatible 1.2+1.3 calls, but a separate
library, that provides nothing but the 1.2 API and talks to nothing but
1.3 behind the scenes, should be possible.
I haven’t considered this fully, but the idea of building an add-on
library like SDL_mixer, named SDL_compat12, crossed my mind, too.
So the migration process for old code is now port to SDL2? It should be
impossible to write a library that uses either 1.2 or 2.
That’s not the explicit goal, but that is a side effect of the current
approach. With some small amount of #ifdefs, a program can use either,
but you won’t be able to just drop SDL2 into an app that’s linked
against 1.2.
The expectation is that 1.2 is always available if you want it, but code
should plan to migrate to SDL2 eventually. In most cases, the migration
isn’t difficult at all.

Hello All,
We are using SDL ver 1.2.15 for our project.
Currently SDL Window (or screen) is created by one of the SDL APIs. Can
I supply this window handle from outside and have SDL library use this
HANDLE for drawing instead of creating a new one.
Thanks
Manik Gupta
After a little update of wiki,
Logo should be updated with SDL 2.0
There is some page that are still marked as read-only :
In http://wiki.libsdl.org/moin.cgi/FAQs
On website :
Another step should to verify that API description is synchronized
with SDL.h, few month ago, I was checking wiki and it was out-dated (
I don’t remember which ones )
