This ignores 2.x.1 (etc) releases, which prevents it from thinking
the next official non-point-release version is 2.26.1, when it
should be 2.26.0, because it saw the "latest" release is 2.24.1.
This fixes the wiki ending up with imaginary version numbers for
the "this function is available since SDL 2.x.y" sections.
Fixes#6343.
Clear the window to black on the initial window draw, to avoid a really
obnoxious white flash. This doesn't always eliminate it, but it
definitely minimizes it.
This makes the colorspace match across different graphics APIs. By
default, OpenGL was getting a much more saturated colorspace (maybe
Display P3?) and it was looking very different from the rendering done
by Metal or MoltenVK.
Downstream distributors can use this to mark a version with their
preferred version information, like a Linux distribution package version
or the Steam revision it was built to be bundled into, or just to mark
it with the vendor it was built by or the environment it's intended to
be used in.
For instance, in Debian I'd use this by configuring with:
--enable-vendor-info="${DEB_VENDOR} ${DEB_VERSION}"
to get a SDL_REVISION like:
release-2.24.1-0-ga1d1946dc (Debian 2.24.1+dfsg-2)
which gives a Debian user enough information to track down the patches
and build-time configuration that were used for package revision 2.
In Autotools and CMake, this is a configure-time option like any other,
and will go into both SDL_REVISION (via SDL_revision.h) and
SDL_GetRevision().
In other build systems (MSVC, Xcode, etc.), defining the
SDL_VENDOR_INFO macro will get it into the output of SDL_GetRevision(),
although not SDL_REVISION.
