RGFW v1.7.0

[ColleagueRiley]

This release focuses on improving bug fixes and supporting more edge cases. It also continues to work towards feature parity with GLFW.

breaking changes:

• Rename RGFW_window_checkFPS to RGFW_checkFPS
• Change RGFW_window_setShouldClose(RGFW_window) to RGFW_window_setShouldClose(RGFW_window, RGFW_BOOL)
• Rename RGFW_setMouseNotifyCallBack → RGFW_setMouseNotifyCallback
• Rename windowResizeCallback → windowResizedCallback
• Rename windowMoveCallback → windowMovedCallback
• Change return type of RGFW_getProcAddress to RGFW_proc
• event.inFocus removed — use RGFW_window_isInFocus() instead

---

major changes:

• Event Queue Rewrite
  • Replace internal event passing system (WASM, WinAPI, macOS) with RGFW_eventQueuePush / RGFW_eventQueuePop

  • Add RGFW_window_initOpenGL and RGFW_window_freeOpenGL
  • Add RGFW_proc typedef and update RGFW_getProcAddress
  • Default multisampling is now 0 (more consistent with GLFW)
• Improved Software Rendering Support
  • Better macOS and wasm software rendering
  • Use direct software rendering in wasm (no OpenGL required)
• Flags and Focus Enhancements
  • Add RGFW_windowFreeOnClose, RGFW_windowFocusOnShow
  • Add RGFW_windowFocus and RGFW_windowFocus flag
• New Events
  • RGFW_windowMaximized
  • RGFW_windowMinimized
  • RGFW_windowRestored
• Cross-Platform Improvements
  • Add RGFW_init and RGFW_deinit
  • Make CLOCK_MONOTONIC default where supported
  • BeginPaint/EndPaint now called properly (Windows)
  • Fix client area scaling issues (Windows)
• Monitor and Window Enhancements
  • RGFW_getMonitors now takes a size_t* len argument
  • Better monitor resolution detection
  • Fix X11 clipboard and waitEvent bugs
  • Add RGFW_ADVANCED_SMOOTH_RESIZE (WinAPI, X11)

---

• Add RGFW_BUFFER_BGR, rename RGFW_X11_DONT_CONVERT_BGR
• Add fallback for glXCreateContextAttribsARB
• Add swapInterval to WGL loading

miscellaneous:

• Only allow transparency if RGFW_windowTransparent is enabled
• Make depth default to 24 if transparency is off
• Use timeEndPeriod for better Windows timing
• Default buffer size to window size if not resizable
• Refactor default bool types (RGFW_INT_DEFINED, RGFW_BOOL_DEFINED)
• (MSVC) Avoid linking opengl32.dll unless RGFW_OPENGL is used
• Simplify EGL context creation
• Update OpenGL context fallback for Nvidia/GLX
• Fix flipped image in OSMesa (wasm)

---

compatibility:

• Tested with Zig
• Improved MSVC, macOS, wasm, X11, and EGL/OSMesa support

---

notes:
This version continues the work from 1.6 to refine the API while introducing more robust internal systems for events, rendering, and timing.
