As summer comes to a close, so does another PySDL2 release cycle! The bindings have been updated to wrap the new functions and constants added in SDL 2.24.0, a few small bugs have been fixed, and a couple small improvements have been made to the sdl2.ext modules.

Apart from SDL 2.24.0 support, the biggest change is the addition of a new ext function and class (get_displays and DisplayInfo) for easily retrieving information about the names and supported video modes of all connected displays. Additionally, the previously internal raise_sdl_err function for cleanly raising informative Python exceptions for SDL errors has been added to the public API to make it easier to write robust code with the direct SDL2 bindings.

Changelog

  • Updated to wrap new functions and constants in SDL 2.24.0.
  • Added a new module sdl2.ext.displays for retrieving and working with connected displays and their supported resolutions/refresh rates.
  • Extended sdl2.ext.init to allow initializing all SDL subsystems individually (previously just initialized the video subsystem).
  • Improved the memory safety of the sdl2.ext.Window class.
  • Added raise_sdl_err to the public ext API.
  • Fixed sdl2.ext.line to work correctly on 1bpp surfaces.
  • Various fixes/improvements to the unit test suite for Linux package maintainers.
