Hi, I have prepared a set of patches to readd WindowsCE support to SDL 1.3. I've created a new GAPI/Rawframebuffer and a DirectDraw renderer. Both renderers are work in progress and there are several unimplemented cases. (Notably RenderLine/RenderPoint/RenderFill/QueryTexturePixels/UpdateTexture and texture blending ) Nevertheless I am successfully using these renderers together with the SDL software renderer. (On most devices the SDL software renderer will be much faster as there are only badly optimized vendor drivers available) I send these patches now in this unpolished state because there seems to be some interest in win ce and someone has to start supporting SDL 1.3 Now on to the patches: wince_events_window_fixes.patch fixes some wince incompatibilities and adds fullscreen support via SHFullScreen. NOTE: This patch shouldn't have any side effects on Windows, but I have NOT tested it on Windows, so please double-check. This patch doesn't dependent on the following ones. wince_renderers_system.patch This patch does all necessary modifications to the SDL system. - it adds the renderers to the configure system - it adds the renderers to win32video SDL_ceddrawrender.c SDL_ceddrawrender.h SDL_gapirender_c.h SDL_gapirender.c SDL_gapirender.h these files add the new render drivers and should be placed in src/video/win32 Some notes to people who want to test this: - I have only compiled sdl with ming32ce, so the VisualC files are not up to date - As mingw32ce has no ddraw.h this file must be taken from the MS SDK and modified to work with gcc - I had to modify line 2611 in configure.in to EXTRA_LDFLAGS="$EXTRA_LDFLAGS -lcoredll -lcommctrl -lmmtimer -Wl,--image-base -Wl,0x10000" otherwise GetCPinfo wouldn't link. If someone knows whats causing this I'd be happy to hear about it. It would be great if these patches could make their way into SVN as this would make collaboration much much easier. I'm out of office for the next week and therefore will be unavailable via email. Regards Stefan

1.3 release checklist:
 * Create jobs@libsdl.org
 * Implement landscape mode for iPhone port
 * Add higher precision timers for profiling
 * Implement YUV texture support
   - in progress, software support is done, Ryan is working on OpenGL shaders
 * Implement desktop video mode change notification?
 * Add OpenGL 3.0 context support
 * Finish multiple display support
 * Open windows on display that is selected when creating a window
 * Create testing plan - becoming more and more important...
   - unit tests for each feature and combination with expected output
     and actual output comparison.
 * Public license for SDL_compat.c, tests, and SDL_main*
 * Verify mouse grab support
 * Properly handle mouse grab with Vista DPI scaling
 * Make sure the mouse is where it's supposed to be when un-grabbed
 * Plan how to handle events on foreign windows
 * Add keyboard enumeration / name query API
 * Implement NET_WM_PING and NET_WM_PID/WM_CLIENT_MACHINE (?)
   - http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html#KILLINGWINDOWS
 * Add a timeout parameter for SDL_WaitEvent() (?)
   - http://lists.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl-libsdl.org/2008-May/thread.html#65067
 * Implement key repeat at the driver level
 * Add name -> keysym and name -> scancode lookup functions
 * Fix building haptic system on win32
 * Add always on top window styles
 * Add video modes that have an alpha channel?
 * Implement SDL_RenderReadPixels() for screenshots?

Wish list for the 1.3 development branch:
http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/

 * Add a way to register custom events
 * DirectInput joystick support needs to be implemented
 * Explicit vertical retrace wait (maybe separate from SDL_Flip?)
 * Shaped windows, windows without borders
 * Multiple display support
 * Add a timestamp to events
 * Add audio input API
 * Add modifier state to key and button events

In the jump from 1.2 to 1.3, we should change the SDL_Rect members to
int and evaluate all the rest of the datatypes.  This is the only place
we should do it though, since the 1.2 series should not break binary
compatibility in this way.

Requests:
 * PCM and CDROM volume control (deprecated, but possible)
