Previously, scale values used by the displays and surfaces were always integers, with fractional scale values only being calculated when the backbuffer and viewport sizes were being determined. Now, if xdg-output is available, the fractional scale of output displays is calculated when the displays are enumerated and the true scale values of the output devices are used whenever possible.
This unifies the integer and fractional scaling systems, allows for the use of more accurate scale values that minimize overdraw when windows straddle multiple outputs, and lays the groundwork for the pending Wayland scaling protocols that will report the preferred scale values per-surface instead of per-output.
Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed
to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics
hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software,
emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog
and many Humble Bundle games.
