[Ffe] sdl2 2.0.6

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

We should get sdl 2.0.6 in Ubuntu too.

Bug fix only release ABI compatible (including crash fixes and buffer overflow fixes)

libsdl2 has also a new vulkan compatible driver, I think we should get it into artful too, but I'm also open to disable it (having a new delta from Debian)

new functions should be "Ffe safe" sine the ABI is kept stable, and nobody uses them

+* Added support for inverted axes and separate axis directions in game controller mappings^M
+* Added functions to return information about a joystick before it's opened:^M
+ SDL_JoystickGetDeviceVendor()^M
+ SDL_JoystickGetDeviceProduct()^M
+ SDL_JoystickGetDeviceProductVersion()^M
+ SDL_JoystickGetDeviceType()^M

+* Added the hint SDL_HINT_AUDIO_RESAMPLING_MODE to control the quality of resampling^M
+* Added the hint SDL_HINT_RENDER_LOGICAL_SIZE_MODE to control the scaling policy for SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize():^M
+ "0" or "letterbox" - Uses letterbox/sidebars to fit the entire rendering on screen (the default)^M
+ "1" or "overscan" - Will zoom the rendering so it fills the entire screen, allowing edges to be drawn offscreen^M
+* Added the hints SDL_HINT_MOUSE_NORMAL_SPEED_SCALE and SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_SPEED_SCALE to scale the mouse speed when being read from raw mouse input^M
+* Added the hint SDL_HINT_TOUCH_MOUSE_EVENTS to control whether SDL will synthesize mouse events from touch events^M
+^M
+Windows:^M
+* The new default audio driver on Windows is WASAPI and supports hot-plugging devices and changing the default audio device^M
+* The old XAudio2 audio driver is deprecated and will be removed in the next release^M
+* Added hints SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_INTRESOURCE_ICON and SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_INTRESOURCE_ICON_SMALL to specify a custom icon resource ID for SDL windows^M
+* The hint SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_DISABLE_THREAD_NAMING is now on by default for compatibility with .NET languages and various Windows debuggers^M

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I'd check with the flavours it's seeded on:

  libsdl2-2.0-0 (from libsdl2) is seeded in:
    kubuntu: supported
    lubuntu-next: daily-live
    lubuntu: daily, daily-live
    ubuntu-budgie: daily-live
    ubuntu-gnome: supported
    ubuntu-mate: supported
    ubuntukylin: daily-live
    ubuntustudio: dvd
    xubuntu: supported
  libsdl2-dev (from libsdl2) is seeded in:
    kubuntu: supported
    lubuntu: supported
    ubuntu-budgie: supported
    ubuntukylin: supported
  libsdl2-doc (from libsdl2) is seeded in:
    kubuntu: supported
    lubuntu: supported
    ubuntu-budgie: supported
    ubuntukylin: supported

Otherwise sure.

I think I have subscribed all the relevant teams, I'll upload in a day or two if nobody complains :)
And also Brandon, if he want to check if everything is good mir-side

With my Lubuntu hat on, no complaints here.

[Brandon Schaefer (brandontschaefer)]

Ive been messing around with 2.0.6 and it works fine for mir. The only issue is the vulkan headers for mir support has a deprecated use (MirSurface vs MirWindow) but that deprecation wont be removed any time soon (Also MirSurface == MirWindow, just a rename). So you'll just seen a lot of warnings when building 2.0.6 with mir support and vulkan support.

Also a KMS/DRM driver landed in 2.0.6 as well. Which is pretty nice for embedded devices!

Otherwise no changes in 2.0.6 directly cause issues with mir (besides warnings), and all looks good to me!

migration successful

[Valorie Zimmerman (valorie-zimmerman)]

Sounds fine from the Kubuntu end.
