2.29.2

This is a release candidate for 2.30.0

This release fixes audio distortion and a crash when blitting that was introduced in 2.29.1.

In addition to lots of bug fixes, here are the major changes in this release:

General:

• Added support for 2 bits-per-pixel indexed surface formats
• Added the function SDL_GameControllerGetSteamHandle() to get the Steam API handle for a controller, if available
