Subject: Re: [PATCH] *CRITICAL* 8bit direct RGB palette not being created
I think that SDL_AllocFormat should create the palette for all 8bit
surfaces. And when the RGBAmasks match the normal 3:3:2:0 we need to
apply the old behavior. If the mask doesn't match that, then we need
to make the right palette assuming the masks are valid (I don't think
we validate any masks for high color surfaces...so we wouldn't here)
Then there's always a palette available for the 8bit surfaces.
This restores the normal behavior and allows for masks to create
palettes automatically for odd masks even, which would be a neato
thing to have in there, as SDL never did this before.

| 14 This function and the semantics of SDL alpha blending have changed since version 1\&.1\&.4\&. Up until version 1\&.1\&.5, an alpha value of 0 was considered opaque and a value of 255 was considered transparent\&. This has now been inverted: 0 (\fBSDL_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT\fP) is now considered transparent and 255 (\fBSDL_ALPHA_OPAQUE\fP) is now considered opaque\&. | |

19 The\fBsurface\fR parameter specifies which surface whose alpha attributes you wish to adjust\&. \fBflags\fR is used to specify whether alpha blending should be used (\fBSDL_SRCALPHA\fP) and whether the surface should use RLE acceleration for blitting (\fBSDL_RLEACCEL\fP)\&. \fBflags\fR can be an OR\&'d combination of these two options, one of these options or 0\&. If \fBSDL_SRCALPHA\fP is not passed as a flag then all alpha information is ignored when blitting the surface\&. The \fBalpha\fR parameter is the per-surface alpha value; a surface need not have an alpha channel to use per-surface alpha and blitting can still be accelerated with \fBSDL_RLEACCEL\fP\&. |

56 Note that RGBA->RGBA blits (with SDL_SRCALPHA set) keep the alpha of the destination surface\&. This means that you cannot compose two arbitrary RGBA surfaces this way and get the result you would expect from "overlaying" them; the destination alpha will work as a mask\&. |
