  • Added new features:
    • sdl_rendergeometry () and sdl_rendergeometryraw () to draw arbitrary figures using 2D Render API.
    • sdl_settextureUserdata () and sdl_gettextureuserdata () to bind application data to texture.
    • sdl_renderwindowtologist () and sdl_renderlogicaltowindow () for conversion between windows coordinates and logical coordinates of drawing.
