This would have been a one-line patch to the documentation (specifying that
captures only work as long as the left mouse button is pressed), but I didn't
like that, so I got a little crazy about this instead.
There were several good arguments for this: it's how Windows works with
WM_NCHITTEST, SDL doesn't need to manage a list of rects, it allows more
control over the regions (how do you use rects to cleanly surround a circular
button?), the callback can be more optimized than a iterating a list of
rects, and you don't have to send an updated list of rects whenever the
window resizes or layout changes.
Some more recent compilers emit SSE aligned store instructions for the loop,
causing crashes if the destination buffer isn't aligned on a 32-bit boundary.
This would also crash on platforms like ARM that require aligned stores.
This fixes a crash inside SDL_FillRect that happens with the official x64 mingw
build.
The Windows Phone 8.1 'MessageDialog' API only seems to support two buttons,
despite the documentation for such mentioning support for three. Trying to use
three or more buttons leads to an exception being thrown. As such, any attempt
to use more than two buttons via SDL_ShowMessageBox (on Windows Phone 8.1) will
lead to no message box getting shown, and the call returning an error.
The Win32 MessageBox and dialog APIs are not available in WinRT apps, to note.
More extensive message dialog support might be available at some point, if and
when XAML support is more fully fleshed-out. I'm not certain of this, though.
When a Windows Phone 8.0 app was rotated to anything but Portrait mode, touch
input coordinates, as well as virtual mouse coordinates, were usually getting
reported as coming from the wrong part of the screen.
If a Windows Phone 8.1 device was rotated to anything but Portrait mode,
the Direct3D 11 renderer's output wouldn't get aligned correctly with the
screen.
This change removes the "Shared" component from the Windows 8.1 and Windows
Phone 8.1 project files, then renames the projects to use a file structure
that's the same as used for the Windows 8.0 and Windows Phone 8.0 projects.
This change now places WinRT projects in the following directories:
VisualC-WinRT\WinRT81_VS2013\ -- Windows 8.1 project files
VisualC-WinRT\WinPhone81_VS2013\ -- Windows Phone 8.1 project files (NEW, as of this change)
VisualC-WinRT\WinRT80_VS2012\ -- Windows 8.0 project files
VisualC-WinRT\WinPhone80_VS2012\ -- Windows Phone 8.0 project files
Windows 8.0 and Windows Phone 8.0 projects, as well as apps or libs that
reference these, should be unaffected by this change.
Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 based apps or libs that reference SDL's
projects directly will need to have their old references removed, then
replaced with new ones that point to the updated structure.
