Changelog

All notable changes to Alien::SDL3 will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

v3.4.20 - 2026-10-17

Changed

• Bump minimum required Alien::Xrepo to v1.0.9.

Fixed

• Fix t/02_affix.t on systems using pre-installed libs from (vcpkg, apt, brew, etc.) which all report lowercase link names (sdl3, sdl3_image, ...) while building from source creates what I'd call 'normal' names (SDL3, SDL3_image, ...).
• 64-bit x86 Solaris no longer builds 32-bit libraries thanks to the next item...
• The bundled libsdl3 recipe now survives the falsely detected cross-compile on Solaris. Xmake misreads the host arch as i386 and asks cmake to set up cross-compilation.

v3.4.19 - 2026-10-15

Well, I guess I'm going to have to tinker with versioning soon...

Fixed

• On Windows, a Strawberry Perl host (gcc, no cl on PATH) could not install anything: xmake's windows platform never offers a gcc toolchain, so perl Build aborted with toolchain not found! and the prebuilt SDL3 DLLs were never fetched. The recipe now pins the xmake toolchain to the compiler Perl was built with, so the prebuilt DLL flavour, the import library used by the package self-test, and the library FFI opens all agree.
• Affix test died on an undefined value when the primary package was missing but others resolved: package_info() with no argument returns the primary package only, so its one-element list was always truthy. It now collects each named package and drops the undefs.

Changed

• t/00_compile.t and t/01_delegation.t now fail only when a snapshot exists but the core libsdl3 package does not resolve, instead of silently passing; a genuinely cold checkout (no snapshot) still skips. A companion library that failed (libsdl3_image, libsdl3_ttf, libsdl3_mixer) is reported and its checks skipped rather than failing the suite, since a dist with a working core is still useful. Both also surface whatever the build recorded for a failed package.

v3.4.18 - 2026-10-07

Changed

• Updated to SDL3 3.4.18
• Install satellite libs SDL_image (v3.4.8), SDL_ttf (v3.2.2), and SDL_mixer (v3.2.4)
• Use Alien::Xrepo to locate, build, or install a prebuilt libs unless a system install meets our version requirements
