Call @ref glfwJoystickIsGamepad to -check if a joystick has a mapping, @ref glfwGetGamepadState to retrieve its -input state, @ref glfwUpdateGamepadMappings to add newer mappings and @ref -glfwGetGamepadName and @ref glfwGetJoystickGUID for mapping related information. - -For more information see @ref gamepad. - - -@subsubsection moltenvk_33 Support for Vulkan on macOS via MoltenVK - -GLFW now supports [MoltenVK](https://moltengl.com/moltenvk/), a Vulkan -implementation on top of the Metal API, and its `VK_MVK_macos_surface` window -surface creation extension. MoltenVK is included in the [macOS Vulkan -SDK](https://vulkan.lunarg.com/). - -For more information see @ref vulkan_guide. - - -@subsubsection content_scale_33 Content scale queries for DPI-aware rendering - -GLFW now provides content scales for windows and monitors, i.e. the ratio -between their current DPI and the platform's default DPI, with @ref -glfwGetWindowContentScale and @ref glfwGetMonitorContentScale. - -Changes of the content scale of a window can be received with the window content -scale callback, set with @ref glfwSetWindowContentScaleCallback. - -The @ref GLFW_SCALE_TO_MONITOR window hint enables automatic resizing of a -window by the content scale of the monitor it is placed, on platforms like -Windows where this is necessary. This takes effect both on creation and when -the window is moved between monitors. It is related to but different from -[GLFW_COCOA_RETINA_FRAMEBUFFER](@ref GLFW_COCOA_RETINA_FRAMEBUFFER_hint). - -For more information see @ref window_scale. - - -@subsubsection setwindowattrib_33 Support for updating window attributes - -GLFW now supports changing the [GLFW_DECORATED](@ref GLFW_DECORATED_attrib), -[GLFW_RESIZABLE](@ref GLFW_RESIZABLE_attrib), -[GLFW_FLOATING](@ref GLFW_FLOATING_attrib), -[GLFW_AUTO_ICONIFY](@ref GLFW_AUTO_ICONIFY_attrib) and -[GLFW_FOCUS_ON_SHOW](@ref GLFW_FOCUS_ON_SHOW_attrib) attributes for existing -windows with @ref glfwSetWindowAttrib. - -For more information see @ref window_attribs. - - -@subsubsection raw_motion_33 Support for raw mouse motion - -GLFW now supports raw (unscaled and unaccelerated) mouse motion in disabled -cursor mode with the [GLFW_RAW_MOUSE_MOTION](@ref GLFW_RAW_MOUSE_MOTION) input -mode. Raw mouse motion input is not yet implemented on macOS. Call @ref -glfwRawMouseMotionSupported to check if GLFW can provide raw mouse motion on the -current system. - -For more information see @ref raw_mouse_motion. - - -@subsubsection joysticks_33 Joystick hats - -GLFW can now return the state of hats (i.e. POVs or D-pads) of a joystick with -@ref glfwGetJoystickHats. For compatibility, hats are also exposed as buttons. -This can be disabled with the @ref GLFW_JOYSTICK_HAT_BUTTONS initialization -hint. - -For more information see @ref joystick_hat. - - -@subsubsection geterror_33 Error query - -GLFW now supports querying the last error code for the calling thread and its -human-readable description with @ref glfwGetError. This can be used instead of -or together with the error callback. - -For more information see @ref error_handling. - - -@subsubsection init_hints_33 Support for initialization hints - -GLFW now supports setting library initialization hints with @ref glfwInitHint. -These must be set before initialization to take effect. Some of these hints are -platform specific but are safe to set on any platform. - -For more information see @ref init_hints. - - -@subsubsection attention_33 User attention request - -GLFW now supports requesting user attention with @ref -glfwRequestWindowAttention. Where possible this calls attention to the -specified window. On platforms like macOS it calls attention to the whole -application. - -For more information see @ref window_attention. - - -@subsubsection maximize_33 Window maximization callback - -GLFW now supports notifying the application that the window has been maximized -@ref glfwSetWindowMaximizeCallback. This is called both when the window was -maximized by the user and when it was done with @ref glfwMaximizeWindow. - -For more information see @ref window_maximize. - - -@subsubsection workarea_33 Query for the monitor work area - -GLFW now supports querying the work area of a monitor, i.e. the area not -occupied by task bars or global menu bars, with @ref glfwGetMonitorWorkarea. On -platforms that lack this concept, the whole area of the monitor is returned. - -For more information see @ref monitor_workarea. - - -@subsubsection transparency_33 Transparent windows and framebuffers - -GLFW now supports the creation of windows with transparent framebuffers on -systems with desktop compositing enabled with the @ref -GLFW_TRANSPARENT_FRAMEBUFFER window hint and attribute. This hint must be set -before window creation and leaves any window decorations opaque. - -GLFW now also supports whole window transparency with @ref glfwGetWindowOpacity -and @ref glfwSetWindowOpacity. This value controls the opacity of the whole -window including decorations and unlike framebuffer transparency can be changed -at any time after window creation. - -For more information see @ref window_transparency. - - -@subsubsection key_scancode_33 Query for the scancode of a key - -GLFW now supports querying the platform dependent scancode of any physical key -with @ref glfwGetKeyScancode. - -For more information see @ref input_key. - - -@subsubsection center_cursor_33 Cursor centering window hint - -GLFW now supports controlling whether the cursor is centered over newly created -full screen windows with the [GLFW_CENTER_CURSOR](@ref GLFW_CENTER_CURSOR_hint) -window hint. It is enabled by default. - - -@subsubsection cursor_hover_33 Mouse cursor hover window attribute - -GLFW now supports polling whether the cursor is hovering over the window content -area with the [GLFW_HOVERED](@ref GLFW_HOVERED_attrib) window attribute. This -attribute corresponds to the [cursor enter/leave](@ref cursor_enter) event. - - -@subsubsection focusonshow_33 Window hint and attribute for input focus on show - -GLFW now has the [GLFW_FOCUS_ON_SHOW](@ref GLFW_DECORATED_hint) window hint and -attribute for controlling whether a window gets input focus when shown. It is -enabled by default. It applies both when creating an visible window with @ref -glfwCreateWindow and when showing it with @ref glfwShowWindow. - -This is a workaround for GLFW 3.0 lacking @ref glfwFocusWindow and will be -corrected in the next major version. - -For more information see @ref window_hide. - - -@subsubsection device_userptr_33 Monitor and joystick user pointers - -GLFW now supports setting and querying user pointers for connected monitors and -joysticks with @ref glfwSetMonitorUserPointer, @ref glfwGetMonitorUserPointer, -@ref glfwSetJoystickUserPointer and @ref glfwGetJoystickUserPointer. - -For more information see @ref monitor_userptr and @ref joystick_userptr. - - -@subsubsection macos_nib_33 macOS menu bar from nib file - -GLFW will now load a `MainMenu.nib` file if found in the `Contents/Resources` -directory of the application bundle, as a way to replace the GLFW menu bar -without recompiling GLFW. This behavior can be disabled with the -[GLFW_COCOA_MENUBAR](@ref GLFW_COCOA_MENUBAR_hint) initialization hint. - - -@subsubsection glext_33 Support for more context creation extensions - -The context hint @ref GLFW_SRGB_CAPABLE now supports OpenGL ES via -`WGL_EXT_colorspace`, the context hint @ref GLFW_CONTEXT_NO_ERROR now supports -`WGL_ARB_create_context_no_error` and `GLX_ARB_create_context_no_error`, the -context hint @ref GLFW_CONTEXT_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR now supports -`EGL_KHR_context_flush_control` and @ref glfwGetProcAddress now supports -`EGL_KHR_get_all_proc_addresses`. - - -@subsubsection osmesa_33 OSMesa off-screen context creation support - -GLFW now supports creating off-screen OpenGL contexts using -[OSMesa](https://www.mesa3d.org/osmesa.html) by setting -[GLFW_CONTEXT_CREATION_API](@ref GLFW_CONTEXT_CREATION_API_hint) to -`GLFW_OSMESA_CONTEXT_API`. Native access function have been added to retrieve -the OSMesa color and depth buffers. - -There is also a new null backend that uses OSMesa as its native context -creation API, intended for automated testing. This backend does not provide -input. - - -@subsection caveats_33 Caveats for version 3.3 - -@subsubsection joystick_layout_33 Layout of joysticks have changed - -The way joystick elements are arranged have changed to match SDL2 in order to -support SDL_GameControllerDB mappings. The layout of joysticks may -change again if required for compatibility with SDL2. If you need a known and -stable layout for game controllers, see if you can switch to @ref gamepad. - -Existing code that depends on a specific joystick layout will likely have to be -updated. - - -@subsubsection wait_events_33 No window required to wait for events - -The @ref glfwWaitEvents and @ref glfwWaitEventsTimeout functions no longer need -a window to be created to wait for events. Before version 3.3 these functions -would return immediately if there were no user-created windows. On platforms -where only windows can receive events, an internal helper window is used. - -Existing code that depends on the earlier behavior will likely have to be -updated. - - -@subsubsection gamma_ramp_size_33 Gamma ramp size of 256 may be rejected - -The documentation for versions before 3.3 stated that a gamma ramp size of 256 -would always be accepted. This was never the case on X11 and could lead to -artifacts on macOS. The @ref glfwSetGamma function has been updated to always -generate a ramp of the correct size. - -Existing code that hardcodes a size of 256 should be updated to use the size of -the current ramp of a monitor when setting a new ramp for that monitor. - - -@subsubsection xinput_deadzone_33 Windows XInput deadzone removed - -GLFW no longer applies any deadzone to the input state received from the XInput -API. This was never done for any other platform joystick API so this change -makes the behavior more consistent but you will need to apply your own deadzone -if desired. - - -@subsubsection x11_clipboard_33 X11 clipboard transfer limits - -GLFW now supports reading clipboard text via the `INCR` method, which removes -the limit on how much text can be read with @ref glfwGetClipboardString. -However, writing via this method is not yet supported, so you may not be able to -write a very large string with @ref glfwSetClipboardString even if you read it -from the clipboard earlier. - -The exact size limit for writing to the clipboard is negotiated with each -receiving application but is at least several tens of kilobytes. Note that only -the read limit has changed. Any string that could be written before still can -be. - - -@subsubsection x11_linking_33 X11 extension libraries are loaded dynamically - -GLFW now loads all X11 extension libraries at initialization. The only X11 -library you need to link against is `libX11`. The header files for the -extension libraries are still required for compilation. - -Existing projects and makefiles that link GLFW directly against the extension -libraries should still build correctly but will add these libraries as load-time -dependencies. - - -@subsubsection cmake_version_33 CMake 3.0 or later is required - -The minimum CMake version has been raised from 2.8.12 to 3.0. This is only -a requirement of the GLFW CMake files. The GLFW source files do not depend on -CMake. - - -@subsection deprecations_33 Deprecations in version 3.3 - -@subsubsection charmods_callback_33 Character with modifiers callback - -The character with modifiers callback set with @ref glfwSetCharModsCallback has -been deprecated and should if possible not be used. - -Existing code should still work but further bug fixes will likely not be made. -The callback will be removed in the next major version. - - -@subsubsection clipboard_window_33 Window parameter to clipboard functions - -The window parameter of the clipboard functions @ref glfwGetClipboardString and -@ref glfwSetClipboardString has been deprecated and is no longer used on any -platform. On platforms where the clipboard must be owned by a specific window, -an internal helper window is used. - -Existing code should still work unless it depends on a specific window owning -the clipboard. New code may pass `NULL` as the window argument. The parameter -will be removed in a future release. - - -@subsection removals_33 Removals in 3.3 - -@subsubsection macos_options_33 macOS specific CMake options and macros - -The `GLFW_USE_RETINA`, `GLFW_USE_CHDIR` and `GLFW_USE_MENUBAR` CMake options and -the `_GLFW_USE_RETINA`, `_GLFW_USE_CHDIR` and `_GLFW_USE_MENUBAR` compile-time -macros have been removed. - -These options and macros are replaced by the window hint -[GLFW_COCOA_RETINA_FRAMEBUFFER](@ref GLFW_COCOA_RETINA_FRAMEBUFFER_hint) -and the init hints -[GLFW_COCOA_CHDIR_RESOURCES](@ref GLFW_COCOA_CHDIR_RESOURCES_hint) and -[GLFW_COCOA_MENUBAR](@ref GLFW_COCOA_MENUBAR_hint). - -Existing projects and makefiles that set these options or define these macros -during compilation of GLFW will still build but it will have no effect and the -default behaviors will be used. - - -@subsubsection vulkan_sdk_33 LunarG Vulkan SDK dependency - -The GLFW test programs that previously depended on the LunarG Vulkan SDK now -instead uses a Vulkan loader generated by -[glad2](https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad). This means the GLFW CMake files no -longer look for the Vulkan SDK. - -Existing CMake projects that depended on the Vulkan SDK cache variables from -GLFW will need to call `find_package(Vulkan)` themselves. CMake 3.7 and later -already comes with a -[Vulkan find module](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindVulkan.html) -similar to the one GLFW previously included. - - -@subsubsection lib_suffix_33 CMake option LIB_SUFFIX - -The `LIB_SUFFIX` CMake option has been removed. GLFW now uses the -GNUInstallDirs CMake package to handle platform specific details like the -library directory suffix and the `LIB_SUFFIX` CMake option has been removed. - -Existing projects and makefiles that set the `LIB_SUFFIX` option will use the -suffix chosen by the GNUInstallDirs package and the option will be ignored. - - -@subsubsection mir_removed_33 Mir support - -The experimental Mir support has been completely removed as the Mir project has -implemented support for the Wayland protocol and is recommending that -applications use that instead. - -Existing projects and makefiles that select Mir when compiling GLFW will fail. -Use Wayland or X11 instead. - - -@subsection symbols_33 New symbols in version 3.3 - -@subsubsection functions_33 New functions in version 3.3 - - - @ref glfwInitHint - - @ref glfwGetError - - @ref glfwGetMonitorWorkarea - - @ref glfwGetMonitorContentScale - - @ref glfwGetMonitorUserPointer - - @ref glfwSetMonitorUserPointer - - @ref glfwWindowHintString - - @ref glfwGetWindowContentScale - - @ref glfwGetWindowOpacity - - @ref glfwSetWindowOpacity - - @ref glfwRequestWindowAttention - - @ref glfwSetWindowAttrib - - @ref glfwSetWindowMaximizeCallback - - @ref glfwSetWindowContentScaleCallback - - @ref glfwRawMouseMotionSupported - - @ref glfwGetKeyScancode - - @ref glfwGetJoystickHats - - @ref glfwGetJoystickGUID - - @ref glfwGetJoystickUserPointer - - @ref glfwSetJoystickUserPointer - - @ref glfwJoystickIsGamepad - - @ref glfwUpdateGamepadMappings - - @ref glfwGetGamepadName - - @ref glfwGetGamepadState - - -@subsubsection types_33 New types in version 3.3 - - - @ref GLFWwindowmaximizefun - - @ref GLFWwindowcontentscalefun - - @ref GLFWgamepadstate - - -@subsubsection constants_33 New constants in version 3.3 - - - @ref GLFW_NO_ERROR - - @ref GLFW_JOYSTICK_HAT_BUTTONS - - @ref GLFW_COCOA_CHDIR_RESOURCES - - @ref GLFW_COCOA_MENUBAR - - @ref GLFW_CENTER_CURSOR - - @ref GLFW_TRANSPARENT_FRAMEBUFFER - - @ref GLFW_HOVERED - - @ref GLFW_FOCUS_ON_SHOW - - @ref GLFW_SCALE_TO_MONITOR - - @ref GLFW_COCOA_RETINA_FRAMEBUFFER - - @ref GLFW_COCOA_FRAME_NAME - - @ref GLFW_COCOA_GRAPHICS_SWITCHING - - @ref GLFW_X11_CLASS_NAME - - @ref GLFW_X11_INSTANCE_NAME - - @ref GLFW_OSMESA_CONTEXT_API - - @ref GLFW_HAT_CENTERED - - @ref GLFW_HAT_UP - - @ref GLFW_HAT_RIGHT - - @ref GLFW_HAT_DOWN - - @ref GLFW_HAT_LEFT - - @ref GLFW_HAT_RIGHT_UP - - @ref GLFW_HAT_RIGHT_DOWN - - @ref GLFW_HAT_LEFT_UP - - @ref GLFW_HAT_LEFT_DOWN - - @ref GLFW_MOD_CAPS_LOCK - - @ref GLFW_MOD_NUM_LOCK - - @ref GLFW_LOCK_KEY_MODS - - @ref GLFW_RAW_MOUSE_MOTION - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_A - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_B - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_X - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_Y - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_LEFT_BUMPER - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_RIGHT_BUMPER - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_BACK - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_START - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_GUIDE - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_LEFT_THUMB - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_RIGHT_THUMB - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_DPAD_UP - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_DPAD_RIGHT - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_DPAD_DOWN - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_DPAD_LEFT - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_LAST - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_CROSS - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_CIRCLE - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_SQUARE - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_TRIANGLE - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_AXIS_LEFT_X - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_AXIS_LEFT_Y - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_AXIS_RIGHT_X - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_AXIS_RIGHT_Y - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_AXIS_LEFT_TRIGGER - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_AXIS_RIGHT_TRIGGER - - @ref GLFW_GAMEPAD_AXIS_LAST - - -@section news_32 Release notes for 3.2 - -These are the release notes for version 3.2.

For a more detailed view including -all fixed bugs see the [version history](https://www.glfw.org/changelog.html). - - -@subsection features_31 New features in version 3.1 - -@subsubsection news_31_cursor Custom mouse cursor images - -GLFW now supports creating and setting both custom cursor images and standard -cursor shapes. They are created with @ref glfwCreateCursor or @ref -glfwCreateStandardCursor, set with @ref glfwSetCursor and destroyed with @ref -glfwDestroyCursor. - -@see @ref cursor_object - - -@subsubsection news_31_drop Path drop event - -GLFW now provides a callback for receiving the paths of files and directories -dropped onto GLFW windows. The callback is set with @ref glfwSetDropCallback. - -@see @ref path_drop - - -@subsubsection news_31_emptyevent Main thread wake-up - -GLFW now provides the @ref glfwPostEmptyEvent function for posting an empty -event from another thread to the main thread event queue, causing @ref -glfwWaitEvents to return. - -@see @ref events - - -@subsubsection news_31_framesize Window frame size query - -GLFW now supports querying the size, on each side, of the frame around the -content area of a window, with @ref glfwGetWindowFrameSize. - -@see [Window size](@ref window_size) - - -@subsubsection news_31_autoiconify Simultaneous multi-monitor rendering - -GLFW now supports disabling auto-iconification of full screen windows with -the [GLFW_AUTO_ICONIFY](@ref GLFW_AUTO_ICONIFY_hint) window hint. This is -intended for people building multi-monitor installations, where you need windows -to stay in full screen despite losing input focus. - - -@subsubsection news_31_floating Floating windows - -GLFW now supports floating windows, also called topmost or always on top, for -easier debugging with the @ref GLFW_FLOATING window hint and attribute. - - -@subsubsection news_31_focused Initially unfocused windows - -GLFW now supports preventing a windowed mode window from gaining input focus on -creation, with the [GLFW_FOCUSED](@ref GLFW_FOCUSED_hint) window hint. - - -@subsubsection news_31_direct Direct access for window attributes and cursor position - -GLFW now queries the window input focus, visibility and iconification attributes -and the cursor position directly instead of returning cached data. - - -@subsubsection news_31_charmods Character with modifiers callback - -GLFW now provides a callback for character events with modifier key bits. The -callback is set with @ref glfwSetCharModsCallback. Unlike the regular character -callback, this will report character events that will not result in a character -being input, for example if the Control key is held down. - -@see @ref input_char - - -@subsubsection news_31_single Single buffered framebuffers - -GLFW now supports the creation of single buffered windows, with the @ref -GLFW_DOUBLEBUFFER hint. - - -@subsubsection news_31_glext Macro for including extension header - -GLFW now includes the extension header appropriate for the chosen OpenGL or -OpenGL ES header when @ref GLFW_INCLUDE_GLEXT is defined. GLFW does not provide -these headers. They must be provided by your development environment or your -OpenGL or OpenGL ES SDK. - - -@subsubsection news_31_release Context release behaviors - -GLFW now supports controlling and querying whether the pipeline is flushed when -a context is made non-current, with the @ref GLFW_CONTEXT_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR hint -and attribute, provided the machine supports the `GL_KHR_context_flush_control` -extension. - - -@subsubsection news_31_wayland (Experimental) Wayland support - -GLFW now has an _experimental_ Wayland display protocol backend that can be -selected on Linux with a CMake option. - - -@subsubsection news_31_mir (Experimental) Mir support - -GLFW now has an _experimental_ Mir display server backend that can be selected -on Linux with a CMake option. - - -@section news_30 Release notes for 3.0 - -These are the release notes for version 3.0. For a more detailed view including -all fixed bugs see the [version history](https://www.glfw.org/changelog.html). - - -@subsection features_30 New features in version 3.0 - -@subsubsection news_30_cmake CMake build system - -GLFW now uses the CMake build system instead of the various makefiles and -project files used by earlier versions. CMake is available for all platforms -supported by GLFW, is present in most package systems and can generate -makefiles and/or project files for most popular development environments. - -For more information on how to use CMake, see the -[CMake manual](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/documentation.html). - - -@subsubsection news_30_multiwnd Multi-window support - -GLFW now supports the creation of multiple windows, each with their own OpenGL -or OpenGL ES context, and all window functions now take a window handle. Event -callbacks are now per-window and are provided with the handle of the window that -received the event. The @ref glfwMakeContextCurrent function has been added to -select which context is current on a given thread. - - -@subsubsection news_30_multimon Multi-monitor support - -GLFW now explicitly supports multiple monitors. They can be enumerated with -@ref glfwGetMonitors, queried with @ref glfwGetVideoModes, @ref -glfwGetMonitorPos, @ref glfwGetMonitorName and @ref glfwGetMonitorPhysicalSize, -and specified at window creation to make the newly created window full screen on -that specific monitor. - - -@subsubsection news_30_unicode Unicode support - -All string arguments to GLFW functions and all strings returned by GLFW now use -the UTF-8 encoding. This includes the window title, error string, clipboard -text, monitor and joystick names as well as the extension function arguments (as -ASCII is a subset of UTF-8). - - -@subsubsection news_30_clipboard Clipboard text I/O - -GLFW now supports reading and writing plain text to and from the system -clipboard, with the @ref glfwGetClipboardString and @ref glfwSetClipboardString -functions. - - -@subsubsection news_30_gamma Gamma ramp support - -GLFW now supports setting and reading back the gamma ramp of monitors, with the -@ref glfwGetGammaRamp and @ref glfwSetGammaRamp functions. There is also @ref -glfwSetGamma, which generates a ramp from a gamma value and then sets it. - - -@subsubsection news_30_gles OpenGL ES support - -GLFW now supports the creation of OpenGL ES contexts, by setting the -[GLFW_CLIENT_API](@ref GLFW_CLIENT_API_hint) hint to `GLFW_OPENGL_ES_API`, where -creation of such contexts are supported. Note that GLFW _does not implement_ -OpenGL ES, so your driver must provide support in a way usable by GLFW. Modern -Nvidia and Intel drivers support creation of OpenGL ES context using the GLX and -WGL APIs, while AMD provides an EGL implementation instead. - - -@subsubsection news_30_egl (Experimental) EGL support - -GLFW now has an experimental EGL context creation back end that can be selected -through CMake options. - - -@subsubsection news_30_hidpi High-DPI support - -GLFW now supports high-DPI monitors on both Windows and macOS, giving windows -full resolution framebuffers where other UI elements are scaled up. To achieve -this, @ref glfwGetFramebufferSize and @ref glfwSetFramebufferSizeCallback have -been added. These work with pixels, while the rest of the GLFW API works with -screen coordinates. This is important as OpenGL uses pixels, not screen -coordinates. - - -@subsubsection news_30_error Error callback - -GLFW now has an error callback, which can provide your application with much -more detailed diagnostics than was previously possible. The callback is passed -an error code and a description string. - - -@subsubsection news_30_wndptr Per-window user pointer - -Each window now has a user-defined pointer, retrieved with @ref -glfwGetWindowUserPointer and set with @ref glfwSetWindowUserPointer, to make it -easier to integrate GLFW into C++ code. - - -@subsubsection news_30_iconifyfun Window iconification callback - -Each window now has a callback for iconification and restoration events, -which is set with @ref glfwSetWindowIconifyCallback. - - -@subsubsection news_30_wndposfun Window position callback - -Each window now has a callback for position events, which is set with @ref -glfwSetWindowPosCallback. - - -@subsubsection news_30_wndpos Window position query - -The position of a window can now be retrieved using @ref glfwGetWindowPos. - - -@subsubsection news_30_focusfun Window focus callback - -Each windows now has a callback for focus events, which is set with @ref -glfwSetWindowFocusCallback. - - -@subsubsection news_30_enterleave Cursor enter/leave callback - -Each window now has a callback for when the mouse cursor enters or leaves its -content area, which is set with @ref glfwSetCursorEnterCallback. - - -@subsubsection news_30_wndtitle Initial window title - -The title of a window is now specified at creation time, as one of the arguments -to @ref glfwCreateWindow. - - -@subsubsection news_30_hidden Hidden windows - -Windows can now be hidden with @ref glfwHideWindow, shown using @ref -glfwShowWindow and created initially hidden with the @ref GLFW_VISIBLE window -hint and attribute. This allows for off-screen rendering in a way compatible -with most drivers, as well as moving a window to a specific position before -showing it. - - -@subsubsection news_30_undecorated Undecorated windows - -Windowed mode windows can now be created without decorations, e.g. things like -a frame, a title bar, with the @ref GLFW_DECORATED window hint and attribute. -This allows for the creation of things like splash screens. - - -@subsubsection news_30_keymods Modifier key bit masks - -[Modifier key bit mask](@ref mods) parameters have been added to the -[mouse button](@ref GLFWmousebuttonfun) and [key](@ref GLFWkeyfun) callbacks. - - -@subsubsection news_30_scancode Platform-specific scancodes - -A scancode parameter has been added to the [key callback](@ref GLFWkeyfun). Keys -that don't have a [key token](@ref keys) still get passed on with the key -parameter set to `GLFW_KEY_UNKNOWN`. These scancodes will vary between machines -and are intended to be used for key bindings. - - -@subsubsection news_30_jsname Joystick names - -The name of a joystick can now be retrieved using @ref glfwGetJoystickName. - - -@subsubsection news_30_doxygen Doxygen documentation - -You are reading it. +- [Release notes for 3.3](https://www.glfw.org/docs/3.3/news.html) +- [Release notes for 3.2](https://www.glfw.org/docs/3.2/news.html) +- [Release notes for 3.1](https://www.glfw.org/docs/3.1/news.html) +- [Release notes for 3.0](https://www.glfw.org/docs/3.0/news.html) */
