CHANGELOG.md

# Changelog

Changes relevant to the users of python-tcod are documented here.

This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) since version `2.0.0`.

## [Unreleased]

### Fixed

- `tcod.path.SimpleGraph` caps its automatic diagonal heuristic at two cardinal steps when those are cheaper.
- Many-to-many `tcod.path.path2d` queries retain weighted predecessors when reconstructing their route.
- Copying or pickling Perlin and Simplex noise no longer advances a shared random generator while preparing an unused wavelet tile.
- `tcod.image.Image.rotate90` updates the width and height of rectangular images, keeping NumPy array conversions consistent with the rotated pixels.
- Adding a root to an already resolved `tcod.path.Pathfinder` resets its predecessor only when its value improves the current distance. This prevents cyclic paths while preserving routes to cheaper roots.
- Lazy pathfinder queries reconsider previously visited goals after adding a root or lowering a root's distance.

## [21.2.1] - 2026-06-04

### Deployment

- PyPy wheels switched from PyPy 3.10 to PyPy 3.11.
- Experimental Pyodide wheels are now uploaded to PyPI.

### Fixed

- `tcod.sdl.joystick.get_joysticks`, `get_controllers`, and related enumeration passed device indices to SDL3 functions expecting instance IDs, so enumeration could fail or open the wrong device after a joystick was reconnected.

## [21.2.0] - 2026-04-04

### Added

- `tcod.event.MouseWheel` now has `which`, `window_id`, `position` and `integer_position` attributes.

## Fixed

- `tcod.event.convert_coordinates_from_window` was not converting all types of mouse events.

## [21.1.0] - 2026-04-04

### Added

- `MouseButtonEvent.integer_position` property.

## Fixed

- `integer_position` was missing from mouse button events.

## [21.0.0] - 2026-03-13

### Added

- `tcod.sdl.video.Window` now accepts an SDL WindowID.
- `tcod.event`:
  - `MouseState.integer_position` and `MouseMotion.integer_motion` to handle cases where integer values are preferred.
  - `ClipboardUpdate` event.
  - `Drop` event.
  - `KeyboardEvent.pressed`, `KeyboardEvent.which`, `KeyboardEvent.window_id` attributes.
  - `WindowEvent.data` and `WindowEvent.window_id` attributes and added missing SDL3 window events.
  - `which` and `window_id` attributes for mouse events.
  - Events now have `Event.timestamp` and `Event.timestamp_ns` which use SDL's timer at `tcod.event.time` and `tcod.event.time_ns`.

### Changed

- Event classes are now more strict with attribute types
- Event class initializers are keyword-only and no longer take a type parameter, with exceptions.
  Generally event class initialization is an internal process.
- `MouseButtonEvent` no longer a subclass of `MouseState`.
- `tcod.event.Point` is now a generic type containing `int` or `float` values depending on the context.
- When converting mouse events to tiles:
  `MouseState.position` and `MouseMotion.motion` refers to sub-tile coordinates.
  `MouseState.integer_position` and `MouseMotion.integer_motion` refers to integer tile coordinates.

### Deprecated

- `Event.type` is deprecated except for special cases such as `ControllerDevice`, `WindowEvent`, etc.
- `MouseButtonEvent.state` is deprecated, replaced by the existing `.button` attribute.

### Fixed

- Fixed incorrect C FFI types inside `tcod.event.get_mouse_state`.
- Fixed regression in mouse event tile coordinates being `float` instead of `int`.
  `convert_coordinates_from_window` can be used if sub-tile coordinates were desired.
- Fixed regression in `libtcodpy.bsp_split_recursive` not accepting `0`.

## [20.1.0] - 2026-02-25

### Added

- `Tileset` now supports `MutableMapping` semantics.
  Can get, set, or iterate over tiles as if it were a dictionary containing tile glyph arrays.
  Also supports `+`, `|`, `+=`, and `|=` with other tilesets or mappings to merge them into a single Tileset.
- `tcod.tileset.procedural_block_elements` can take a tile shape and return a tileset.

### Deprecated

- `Tileset.set_tile(codepoint, tile)` was replaced with `tileset[codepoint] = tile` syntax.
- `Tileset.get_tile(codepoint)` was soft replaced with `tileset[codepoint]` syntax.
- `tcod.tileset.procedural_block_elements` should be used with dictionary semantics instead of passing in a tileset.

## [20.0.0] - 2026-02-06

### Added

- Now supports free-threaded Python, deploys with `cp314t` wheels.
- Added methods: `Renderer.coordinates_from_window` and `Renderer.coordinates_to_window`
- Added `tcod.event.convert_coordinates_from_window`.

### Changed

- `Renderer.logical_size` now returns `None` instead of `(0, 0)` when logical size is unset.

## [19.6.3] - 2026-01-12

Fix missing deployment

## [19.6.2] - 2026-01-12

### Changed

- Update to libtcod 2.2.2

### Fixed

- Mouse coordinate to tile conversions now support SDL renderer logical size and scaling.

## [19.6.1] - 2025-12-15

### Fixed

- `tcod.event.add_watch` was crashing due to a cdef type mismatch.

## [19.6.0] - 2025-10-20

### Added

- Alternative syntax for number symbols with `KeySym`, can now specify `KeySym["3"]`, etc.
  Only available on Python 3.13 or later.

### Fixed

- Fixed regression with lowercase key symbols with `tcod.event.K_*` and `KeySym.*` constants, these are still deprecated.
  Event constants are only fixed for `tcod.event.K_*`, not the undocumented `tcod.event_constants` module.
  Lowercase `KeySym.*` constants are only available on Python 3.13 or later.
- `BSP.split_recursive` did not accept a `Random` class as the seed. #168

## [19.5.0] - 2025-09-13

### Changed

- Update to libtcod 2.2.1.
- Scaling defaults to nearest, set `os.environ["SDL_RENDER_SCALE_QUALITY"] = "linear"` if linear scaling was preferred.

### Fixed

- `SDL_RENDER_SCALE_QUALITY` is now respected again since the change to SDL3.
- Fixed crash on controller events.

## [19.4.1] - 2025-08-27

### Fixed

- Fixed dangling pointer in `Pathfinder.clear` method.
- Fixed hang in `Pathfinder.rebuild_frontier` method.

## [19.4.0] - 2025-08-06

### Changed

- Checking "WindowSizeChanged" was not valid since SDL 3 and was also not valid in previous examples.
  You must no longer check the type of the `WindowResized` event.

### Fixed

- Corrected some inconsistent angle brackets in the `__str__` of Event subclasses. #165
- Fix regression with window events causing them to be `Unknown` and uncheckable.

## [19.3.1] - 2025-08-02

Solved a deprecation warning which was internal to tcod and no doubt annoyed many devs.
Thanks to jmccardle for forcing me to resolve this.

### Fixed

- Silenced internal deprecation warnings within `Context.convert_event`.

## [19.3.0] - 2025-07-26

Thanks to cr0ne for pointing out missing texture scaling options.
These options did not exist in SDL2.

### Added

- `tcod.sdl.render`: Added `ScaleMode` enum and `Texture.scale_mode` attribute.

## [19.2.0] - 2025-07-20

Thanks to tryddle for demonstrating how bad the current API was with chunked world generation.

### Added

- `tcod.noise.grid` now has the `offset` parameter for easier sampling of noise chunks.

## [19.1.0] - 2025-07-12

### Added

- Added text input support to `tcod.sdl.video.Window` which was missing since the SDL3 update.
  After creating a context use `assert context.sdl_window` or `if context.sdl_window:` to verify that an SDL window exists then use `context.sdl_window.start_text_input` to enable text input events.
  Keep in mind that this can open an on-screen keyboard.

## [19.0.2] - 2025-07-11

Resolve wheel deployment issue.

## [19.0.1] - 2025-07-11

### Fixed

- `Console.print` methods using `string` keyword were marked as invalid instead of deprecated.

## [19.0.0] - 2025-06-13

Finished port to SDL3, this has caused several breaking changes from SDL such as lowercase key constants now being uppercase and mouse events returning `float` instead of `int`.
Be sure to run [Mypy](https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started.html) on your projects to catch any issues from this update.

### Changed

- Updated libtcod to 2.1.1
- Updated SDL to 3.2.16
  This will cause several breaking changes such as the names of keyboard constants and other SDL enums.
- `tcod.sdl.video.Window.grab` has been split into `.mouse_grab` and `.keyboard_grab` attributes.
- `tcod.event.KeySym` single letter symbols are now all uppercase.
- Relative mouse mode is set via `tcod.sdl.video.Window.relative_mouse_mode` instead of `tcod.sdl.mouse.set_relative_mode`.
- `tcod.sdl.render.new_renderer`: Removed `software` and `target_textures` parameters, `vsync` takes `int`, `driver` takes `str` instead of `int`.
- `tcod.sdl.render.Renderer`: `integer_scaling` and `logical_size` are now set with `set_logical_presentation` method.
- `tcod.sdl.render.Renderer.geometry` now takes float values for `color` instead of 8-bit integers.
- `tcod.event.Point` and other mouse/tile coordinate types now use `float` instead of `int`.
  SDL3 has decided that mouse events have subpixel precision.
  If you see any usual `float` types in your code then this is why.
- `tcod.sdl.audio` has been affected by major changes to SDL3.
  - `tcod.sdl.audio.open` has new behavior due to SDL3 and should be avoided.
  - Callbacks which were assigned to `AudioDevice`'s must now be applied to `AudioStream`'s instead.
  - `AudioDevice`'s are now opened using references to existing devices.
  - Sound queueing methods were moved from `AudioDevice` to a new `AudioStream` class.
  - `BasicMixer` may require manually specifying `frequency` and `channels` to replicate old behavior.
  - `get_devices` and `get_capture_devices` now return `dict[str, AudioDevice]`.
- `TextInput` events are no longer enabled by default.

### Deprecated

- `tcod.sdl.audio.open` was replaced with a newer API, get a default device with `tcod.sdl.audio.get_default_playback().open()`.
- `tcod.sdl.audio.BasicMixer` should be replaced with `AudioStream`'s.
- Should no longer use `tcod.sdl.audio.AudioDevice` in a context, use `contextlib.closing` for the old behavior.

### Removed

- Support dropped for Python 3.8 and 3.9.
- Removed `Joystick.get_current_power` due to SDL3 changes.
- `WindowFlags.FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP` is now just `WindowFlags.FULLSCREEN`
- `tcod.sdl.render.Renderer.integer_scaling` removed.
- Removed `callback`, `spec`, `queued_samples`, `queue_audio`, and `dequeue_audio` attributes from `tcod.sdl.audio.AudioDevice`.
- `tcod.event.WindowResized`: `type="WindowSizeChanged"` removed and must no longer be checked for.
  `EventDispatch.ev_windowsizechanged` is no longer called.

### Fixed

- `Joystick.get_ball` was broken.

## [18.1.0] - 2025-05-05

### Added

- `tcod.path.path2d` to compute paths for the most basic cases.

### Fixed

- `tcod.noise.grid` would raise `TypeError` when given a plain integer for scale.

## [18.0.0] - 2025-04-08

### Changed

- `Console.print` now accepts `height` and `width` keywords and has renamed `string` to `text`.
- Text printed with `Console.print` using right-alignment has been shifted to the left by 1-tile.

### Deprecated

- In general the `fg`, `bg`, and `bg_blend` keywords are too hard to keep track of as positional arguments so they must be replaced with keyword arguments instead.
- `Console.print`: deprecated `string`, `fg`, `bg`, and `bg_blend` being given as positional arguments.
  The `string` parameter has been renamed to `text`.
- `Console.print_box` has been replaced by `Console.print`.
- `Console.draw_frame`: deprecated `clear`, `fg`, `bg`, and `bg_blend` being given as positional arguments.
- `Console.draw_rect`: deprecated `fg`, `bg`, and `bg_blend` being given as positional arguments.
- The `EventDispatch` class is now deprecated.
  This class was made before Python supported protocols and structural pattern matching,
  now the class serves little purpose and its usage can create a minor technical burden.

## [17.1.0] - 2025-03-29

### Added

- SDL renderer primitive drawing methods now support sequences of tuples.

### Fixed

- `tcod.sdl.Renderer.draw_lines` type hint was too narrow.
- Fixed crash in `tcod.sdl.Renderer.geometry`.

## [17.0.0] - 2025-03-28

### Changed
