SDL is a library that allows you portable
low-level access to a video framebuffer, audio
output, mouse, and keyboard. With SDL, it is easy
to write portable games which run on many
different platforms.

This will hopefully be the last in the SDL 1.0 series. Changes include: Relative mouse motion works automatically in X11 fullscreen mode; DGA mouse support is now selectable via environment variable; SDL now opens /dev/dsp by default instead of ESD, unless you set the ESPEAKER environment variable; SDL now detects audio cards which are misconfigured on Linux and disables audio at runtime if it detects that audio isn't playing; Alt-Enter functionality has been disabled by default. It is still available programmatically - see the WhatsNew file for details; I now consider the MacOS support to be stable (tested with MacOS 9)
SDL 1.0.4 fixes a crash on monochrome and pseudocolor video displays under Linux, and adds improved audio support - including initial audio support under MacOS, improved WaveOut audio under Win32, and optional DMA audio under Linux. SDL 1.0.4 also has initial support for OpenBSD.
Improved framebuffer console support under Linux, use of mouse warping to provide relative mouse motion when input is grabbed and the cursor is hidden, and functionality under a fresh Win95 installation.
