Release notes for version 3.5

[TOC]

New features

Unlimited mouse buttons

GLFW now has an input mode which allows an unlimited number of mouse buttons to be reported by the mouse buttton callback, rather than just the associated [mouse button tokens](@ref buttons). This allows using mouse buttons with values over 8. For compatibility with older versions, the @ref GLFW_UNLIMITED_MOUSE_BUTTONS input mode needs to be set to make use of this.

Support for trackpad zoom and rotate on macOS and Wayland

Trackpad zoom and rotate events are now supported on macOS and Wayland using [glfwSetTrackpadZoomCallback](@ref glfwSetTrackpadZoomCallback) and [glfwSetTrackpadRotateCallback](@ref glfwSetTrackpadRotateCallback). These events will not yet emit anything on Windows or X11.

Deprecations

Removals

Original MinGW support has been removed

Support for the now unmaintained original MinGW distribution has been removed.

This does not apply to the much more capable MinGW-w64, which remains fully supported. MinGW-w64 can build both 32- and 64-bit binaries, is actively maintained and available on many platforms.
