  • Added SDL_ResetHints() to reset all hints to their default values
  • Added SDL_GetJoystickGUIDInfo() to get device information encoded in a joystick GUID
  • Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_XBOX_360 to control whether the HIDAPI driver for XBox 360 controllers should be used
  • Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_XBOX_360_PLAYER_LED to control whether the player LEDs should be lit to indicate which player is associated with an Xbox 360 controller
  • Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_XBOX_360_WIRELESS to control whether the HIDAPI driver for XBox 360 wireless controllers should be used

  • Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_WII_PLAYER_LED to control whether the player LED should be lit on the Nintendo Wii controllers
  • Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_VERTICAL_JOY_CONS to control whether Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers will be in vertical mode when using the HIDAPI driver
  • Added access to the individual left and right gyro sensors of the combined Joy-Cons controller
  • Added a 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:

CMake builds are broken due to stray newlines in SDL_revision.h. Actual SDL_revision.h follows.

/* #undef SDL_VENDOR_INFO */
#define SDL_REVISION_NUMBER 0

#ifdef SDL_VENDOR_INFO
#define SDL_REVISION "SDL-prerelease-2.25.1-0-g78ea6af2c
 (" SDL_VENDOR_INFO ")"
#else
#define SDL_REVISION "SDL-prerelease-2.25.1-0-g78ea6af2c
"
#endif

The SDL_revision.h in the release archives is fine. Are you getting the code from git and running cmake on Windows?

I am using the SDL2-2.25.1.tar.gz from Release 2.26.0 RC1 · libsdl-org/SDL · GitHub and running cmake (on LInux, not Windows).

Fixed, thanks!
