RGFW v1.5.0 Latest

Latest

RGFW 1.5.0 is released after 4 months of development and includes a lot of major changes!

This may not include all of the changes or breaking changes made.
This is because 1.5 is the first release, and I took releases and release notes more seriously.

In later commits, the CHANGELOG will be updated while the release is being worked on.
1.5 also has many breaking changes. These are essential changes for API consistency and to better expose functionality. Later releases will aim to have fewer breaking commits. I wanted to get as many of these changes out of the way as possible while the project is still relatively new.

major changes:
- gamepad rewrite
- keycode rewrite
- macOS gamepad support
- RGFW_allocator, RGFW_createWindowPtr, and better memory control
- monitor refinement
- A lot of bug fixes

breaking changes:
- gamepad rewrite changes JS/Joystick -> gamepad
- clipboard is now freed by RGFW
- rewrite keymods/ledState -> modState (Control, Shift, numlock, capslock, alt)
- RGFW_window_setMouse -> RGFW_loadMouse, RGFW_window_setMouse, RGFW_freeMouse
- make enum naming more consistent, make window args enums
RGFW_Key -> RGFW_key
RGFW_Control -> RGFW_control (for example)
RGFW_(ARG) -> RGFW_window(Arg)
RGFW_CENTER -> RGFW_windowCenter
- RGFW_window_setMouse -> RGFW_loadMouse, RGFW_window_setMouse, RGFW_freeMouse

all changes:

new features:

RGFW_setClassName, allows program class (grouping) to be set
start of MacOS EGL support
add support for loading an icon from a .rc file
add RGFW_allocator for runtime changes to the allocator
add RGFW_readClipboardPtr to load clipboard data into a buffer, or send a NULL buffer to get the size
RGFW_createWindowPtr to create a window without allocating a window struct
add gamepad support for macOS (IOKit)
Add XDL.h to this repo for optionally dynamically linking X11
auto free clipboard (no need to free it yourself)
RGFW_window_setBufferPtr to set win->buffer to your own pointer
RGFW_window_setMouse -> RGFW_loadMouse, RGFW_window_setMouse, RGFW_freeMouse
Wayland fallback
- fallback to X functions when Wayland function isn't yet supported (eg. clipboard)
- Fallback to X when Wayland compositor is not found (eg. when using an X11 server)
- Allow the user to switch to wayland/X during runtime (you have to compile with Wayland support (RGFW_WAYLAND))
  bugs:
Fix GLX runtime errors for certain GPUs
Fix C++ support, mostly fixes warnings and errors
fix ctypes, drop support for non stdint types (MSVC)
fix RGFW_window_resize lock (when RGFW_noResize is enabled)
fix xDND crash
Fix multi-window bugs (macOS)
fix event misses when the unknown event is sent
fix scale/center order
make it easier to add custom backends
allow for less linking to be required (eg. -lopengl32 -lwimm, optional RGFW_USE_XDL)
reviews/rewrites
Wayland rewrite
- Integrate Wayland with X code, allow for callbacks
monitor review
- SetProcessDPIAware, effective DPI
- fix scaling units and math
- refine monitor support
- fix RGFW_window_getMonitor
- fix hiDPI support (monitor.pixelRatio)
fix transparency support (GLX) (WGL)
Windows XP Support, don't call unsupport functions, testing
remove weird tabbing synax (eg. extra tabbing in a #ifdef for functions)
gamepad (joystick) review/rewrite
- rename joystick to gamepad
- fix emscripten gamepad, update gamepad api (whichAxis)
- Add L3 + L2 (gamepad)
- add connect, and disconnect events (RGFW_gamepadConnected / RGFW_gamepadDisconnected)
- change enums (RGFW_GP_A -> RGFW_gamepadA)
- support for gamepad names, types, refined axis checking, change mapping
- fix gamepad bugs and make gamepad support more stable overall
- get gamepad count
- RGFW_isPressedGamepad, RGFW_isHeldGamepad, RGFW_isReleasedGamepad, RGFW_wasPressedGamepad, RGFW_getGamepadAxis, RGFW_getGamepadName, RGFW_getGamepadCount, RGFW_getGamepadType
keycode rewrite/review
- rewrite keycodes to use physical keycodes (event.key) and add keyChar for scancodes
Ensure all functions use RGFWDEF
Remove the convert key from the char function -> event.keyChar (keycode)
refine RGFW raw input support
dependency limiting
- get rid of CoreVideo dependency
- remove internal dependency on math.h
- allow for the use of the standard library to be limited
make enum naming more consistent, make window args enums,
rewrite keymods/ledState -> modState (Control, Shift, numlock, capslock, alt)
Update UTF8 support
Update Wayland support
new examples:
DOOM example on the website
MicroUI example
metal example
fix Vulkan example
add OSMesa example
Add minimal linking
Add custom backend example
Add gamepad example
Add no standard library example

RGFW 1.0

RGFW 1.0 is Finally out, with plenty of bug fixes and features being properly implemented on all OSes.
Plus a couple more features added for sake of completeness. Some reworking of functions and other cleaning of the RGFW codebase.

All of RGFW's basic features should be mostly finished now, the next release will focus on adding things not included in base RGFW 1.0.
