💅 pods::...recated(3pm) — the deprecated tea 🫖

ok so this is the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world, and it's literally just a receipts folder: SDL::Deprecated is the log of every deprecated item, sorted by release. bestie, this is the "what got yeeted and when" timeline ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL::Deprecated — the Log of Deprecated items per release. yeah. it's exactly what it sounds like 💀

---

🎀 CATEGORY 🎀

Core — she's foundational, she's built in, no cap 💅

---

✨ RELEASES ✨

🦋 2.517

major changes to SDLx::Controller — like, major major. buckle up:

• quit is now stop. not a rename-and-chill situation: event handlers no longer end run on returning false. call stop explicitly instead, fr fr. you have to say it.
• the first argument to move handlers is the step portion instead of dt.
• the second argument to move handlers, the t value, is now the third argument. she moved. keep up 👑
• min_t will limit apps to a framerate of 60 by default.

ngl this one's giving "read the changelog or cry" — the argument order shift will absolutely eat your old code for breakfast if you don't check it 😭

🌈 2.513

• SDLx::App — SDLx::App::loop() is deprecated. that's it, that's the whole thing. she's retired 🫶

🧚 2.502

• SDLx::App — now depends on SDLx::Surface. to get the SDL::Surface, use:

-"surface() >

alternatively SDLx::Surface::display(). (yes the pod formatting up there is a little cursed, we don't talk about it 🙈)

• SDLx::Surface — " get_display " is now called SDLx::Surface::display.
• SDLx::Sprite::Animated — has drastically changed, and is still volatile. read that again. volatile. proceed with love and caution 💀

⭐ 2.500

• SDL::App — SDL::App has migrated to the SDLx::App namespace. the reason? because it is an extension and not a 1:1 XS/Constant Module to the c library. iykyk ✨
• SDL::Game::Rect — SDL::Game::Rect has migrated to the SDLx::Rect namespace. same reasoning as above, no need to ask twice 💅
