It's finally out and has some fairly major changes.
SDL 1.2.10 is a major release, featuring a revamp of the build system and many API improvements and bug fixes.
API enhancements
* If SDL_OpenAudio() is passed zero for the desired format fields, the following environment variables will be used to fill them in:
SDL_AUDIO_FREQUENCY
SDL_AUDIO_FORMAT
SDL_AUDIO_CHANNELS
SDL_AUDIO_SAMPLES
If an environment variable is not specified, it will be set to a reasonable default value.
* SDL_SetVideoMode() now accepts 0 for width or height and will use the current video mode (or the desktop mode if no mode has been set.)
* Added current_w and current_h to the SDL_VideoInfo structure, which is set to the desktop resolution during video intialization, and then set to the current resolution when a video mode is set.
* SDL_GL_LoadLibrary() will load the system default OpenGL library if it is passed NULL as a parameter.
* Added SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL to wait for vsync in OpenGL applications.
* Added SDL_GL_ACCELERATED_VISUAL to guarantee hardware acceleration.
* SDL_WM_SetCaption() now officially takes UTF-8 title and icon strings, and displays international characters on supported platforms.
* Added SDL_GetKeyRepeat() to query the key repeat settings.
* Added the "dummy" audio driver, which can be used to emulate audio output without a sound card.
* Added SDL_config.h, with defaults for various build environments.
