The last PhysFS 1 release was in March 2009. The last PhysFS 2 release
was in August 2017, shortly before the release of PhysFS 3 in September
2017. Most distributions have moved to PhysFS 3. Drop support for
PhysFS 1 and PhysFS 2. PhysFS 2 support could be restored if there is
interest.
lengthof was added to provide the size of C arrays. C++17 std::size is
now available, and can serve the same purpose. Remove the custom
lengthof.
The generated code is the same in both cases, other than the change in
line numbers caused by removal of the #include directives.
This was once a compatibility shim, but compiler support for std::begin
has been required since 5e434cbe95 and no
issues have been reported. Flatten the include tree by removing this
header and using the STL names directly.
This adds a new dependency, but most systems likely already have
SDL_image installed. Use of SDL_image can be disabled, but this is
discouraged, because various in-game interfaces assume the use of the
original background.
The old implementation automatically corrected for filename case. The
new implementation expects that the supplied filename can be passed to
PYHSFS_openRead as-is. All known uses in-game have been corrected to
satisfy this requirement. If the new stricter match requirement becomes
a problem, a variant of PHYSFSRWOPS_openRead that adjusts filename case
could be created for use here.
- Update install instructions
- Update ebuild
- Update Arch PKGBUILD
The minimum supported compiler versions now provide a depth-efficient
implementation of std::make_index_sequence, which removes the last
reason to carry a private implementation. In the case of clang, it
appears to have a special compiler intrinsic used to implement its
std::make_index_sequence.
Switch to the compiler-provided version for both gcc and clang.
- Remove the d1x, d2x ebuilds. Gentoo uses the dxx name now, so the old
placeholder ebuilds are no longer needed.
- Update the dxx snapshot ebuild to a current commit.
- Resynchronize the dxx snapshot ebuild from the dxx live ebuild.
- This adds support for USE=valgrind and for USE=data.
- Add a helper script to generate snapshot ebuilds for arbitrary
commits.

This commit enables Rebirth to build with SDL2, but the result is not
perfect.
- SDL2 removed some sticky key support. Rebirth may behave differently
now in this area.
- SDL2 removed some key-repeat related support. Rebirth may behave
differently now in this area.
- SDL2 gained the ability to make a window fullscreen by sizing it to
the desktop instead of by changing the desktop resolution. Rebirth
uses this, and it mostly works.
- Resizing while in the automap does not notify the automap code, so
the view is wrong until the player switches out of automap mode and
back in.
- SDL2 changed how to enumerate available resolutions. Since
fitting the window to the desktop is generally more useful than
fitting the desktop to the window, I chose to drop support for
enumerating resolutions instead of porting to the new API. Users can
now enter an arbitrary window dimension and Rebirth will make an
attempt to use it.
- It might be useful to cap the window dimension at the desktop
dimension, but that is not done yet.
- Entering fullscreen mode through the Controls->Graphics submenu
failed to notify the relevant subsystems, causing the rendered
content not to rescale. For now, compile out the option to toggle
full screen through that menu. Toggling through Alt+Enter works
properly.
Despite these quirks, this is a substantial improvement over the prior
commit, where SDL2 cannot be used at all. The remaining issues can be
resolved in future work.

Per comment from kreator, some Apple systems now ship without a working
print screen key. It makes no sense to provide print screen support
bound to a key which does not exist. Add `screenshot=none` and activate
it on OS X to remove the unreachable screenshot support.
Commit 131c1b9f4d added support for PNG screenshots and made this support a default build option. Set screenshot=legacy in the project file for macOS's Xcode for all out-of-the-box builds. PNG support has been dropped in Xcode for several reasons:
- macOS creates PNG screenshots via Command-Shift-3. This works in DXX-Rebirth, even in full screen mode.
- The macOS screenshots are put on the desktop, as opposed to in the user's Library (which is normally hidden from view and can only be accessed via 'Go' menu holding down Option)
- Macs have no Print Screen key
- There is no simple way to include libpng with the macOS DXX-Rebirth binaries, and the average Mac user is unlikely to install it from source
When building with scons, the Mac user compiling can do one of two things:
- Install libpng (which is much easier than packaging with a binary)
- Pass screenshot=legacy to scons
