Emphasized the separation between SDL_Surface and SDL_Texture - SDL_Surface is a system memory representation of pixel data - SDL_Texture is a video memory representation of pixel data The concept of SDL_Surface with SDL_HWSURFACE is no longer used. Separated SDL_Texture types by usage rather than memory type - SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STATIC is for rarely changed pixel data, can be placed in video memory. - SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING is for frequently changing pixel data, usually placed in system memory or AGP memory. Optimized the SDL_compat usage of the OpenGL renderer by only using one copy of the framebuffer instead of two.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_GL_GetProcAddress\- Get the address of a GL function
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBvoid *\fBSDL_GL_GetProcAddress\fP\fR(\fBconst char* proc\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Returns the address of the GL function \fBproc\fR, or \fBNULL\fR if the function is not found\&. If the GL library is loaded at runtime, with \fI\fBSDL_GL_LoadLibrary\fP\fR, then \fIall\fP GL functions must be retrieved this way\&. Usually this is used to retrieve function pointers to OpenGL extensions\&.
