v0.3.0

This version includes major additions and improvements. This version was used to demo at ESUG'2026.

Changes

Package Consolidation & Refactoring:

• Package Merges: Merged SDL3-API into SDL3-Own and consolidated GPU code from SDL3-Own and SDL3-ShaderScanner into a new, dedicated SDL3-GPU package.
• FFI Fixes: Fixed ten CIG-generated functions that had incorrect signatures, and replaced all usages of LibC>>#memCopy with native LibSDL3>>#memcpyDst:src:len:.
• Memory Initialization: Now explicitly using SDL_memset to safely zero out arrays and FFI structs.
• Memory Naming Convention: Renamed #asUnownedNewSDL3Surface to #unsafeNewAsSDL3Surface to strictly adhere to the unsafeNew... ownership protocol.
• Shader Metadata: Reified shader metadata, allowing SDL3 objects to remember their shader configurations at runtime.

Demos Polishing:

• Uniform Naming: Renamed all demo classes to consistently use the ...App suffix.
• Feature Enhancements: Upgraded the SDL3ImageClipboardDemoApp to support copying a Pharo Form directly to the system clipboard!
• Minor Tweaks: Added color configurations to SDL3Console and tweaked the touchpad fingers demo.

OSWindow Integration & VSYNC:

• VSYNC Settings: Added global System Settings to explicitly control VSYNC.
• OSBenchmarkMorph: Replaced the old background process benchmark with a new OSBenchmarkMorph to visually track refresh rates and VSYNC performance metrics directly in the image.

Testing:

• Interactive Safeguard: Tests that init/quit SDL3 core subsystems are now safely skipped if Smalltalk isInteractive is true, preventing accidental image crashes when running SUnit from the UI.
• Test Consolidation: Merged SDL3-Compute-Tests and SDL3-Graphics-Tests into a single SDL3-GPU-Tests package.

Documentation:

• Comprehensive FFI Comments: Programmatically injected class comments into all generated FFI structs, classes, and enumerations linking back to the official SDL3 Wiki.
• README:
  • Ordered the GPU demos by complexity (from clear screens to advanced compute architectures).
  • Added rich, searchable GPU keywords and demo video links (as shown in ESUG'2026 talk).
  • Added clear, detailed instructions for setting up the OSSDL3Driver.
• GPU Ground Truth Guide: Added a dedicated doc/GPU-Resource-Mapping.md to document strict transpiler constraints (std140 padding, Descriptor Spaces).
