-# Migrating pre-release applications
-
-YASL 0.1 has no stable source or binary compatibility promise. Rebuild all
-consumers against matching public headers and the library after updating.
-See the [application guide](guide.md) for the full window and input workflow.
-
-## Display queue, frames, and application failures
-
-The runner now consumes the display-wide FIFO directly. Manual loops should
-replace per-surface polling with `yasl_display_poll_event(display, &event)`.
-Surface polling remains an input-only adapter that discards pending non-input
-notifications delivered through legacy callbacks. Do not mix polling styles. Strings from either poll
-now survive recipient destruction and expire at the next successful poll on
-that display, or display close. Queue allocation failure is reported by dispatch
-as an error instead of silently losing a lifecycle notification.
-
-Replace `struct yasl_frame_context` with `struct yasl_frame`, `frame->cpu.pixels`
-with `frame->target.pixels`, and `frame->size` with `frame->target.size`.
-`target.stride_bytes` replaces `cpu.stride_bytes`. Native drawing uses
-`yasl_surface_get_native_frame(surface, &frame->target, &native)`.
-`yasl_frame_present(frame, NULL, 0)` replaces the CPU presentation wrapper.
-A non-NULL damage array with count zero now explicitly means no damaged pixels.
-Lists larger than the backend limit become full damage instead of truncating.
-
-`YASL_APP_ERROR` and `yasl_app_exit(display, result)` report application failures
-through `yasl_run`. `yasl_app_window(display)` gives init access to desc.window.
-Use `yasl_surface_set_userdata` / `yasl_surface_userdata` for per-window state,
-or `window.userdata` during creation. `yasl_surface_set_callbacks` now returns a
-boolean and rejects runner-owned surfaces with EBUSY.
-
-Spell toplevel creation sizes `size_logical`; `size` remains an alias.
-New window request functions report acceptance with errno. Pacing now works
-outside the runner too, and returns a boolean instead of silently ignoring calls.
-
-Replace clipboard copy/paste with `yasl_clipboard_set` / `yasl_clipboard_request`.
-Check the returned request ID and `event.paste.status` on completion. Empty text
-is successful; missing data and transfer errors now have explicit outcomes.
-Preedit snapshots arrive through `YASL_EVENT_COMPOSITION`; state and hover use
-`YASL_EVENT_WINDOW_STATE`, `YASL_EVENT_DRAG`, and `YASL_EVENT_DROP_HOVER`.
-
-For worker messages, capture a surface ID on the display thread and use
-`yasl_display_post` with an optional release callback. Do not also free the
-payload in the event handler when release owns cleanup. Stop producer threads
-before display shutdown; retired IDs reject posting with ENOENT.
-
-## Application callbacks
-
-All examples now use `<yasl/app.h>` and `yasl_run()`. Describe a single window
-in `yasl_app_desc.window`, or create windows in `.init`; move input handling to
-`.event` and drawing to `.frame`.
-Replace manual dispatch/poll/flush loops with the runner and request redraws with
-`yasl_surface_request_frame()`. Present the frame context with
-`yasl_frame_present()`; the runner destroys remaining surfaces on exit.
-
-Window state remains a `YASL_STATE_*` bitmask; `YASL_STATE_TILED` is reported
-for tiled Wayland toplevels.
-
-## Events
-
-The core API and the runner now share one `struct yasl_event`, declared in
-`<yasl/yasl.h>`. `yasl_display_poll_event()` returns the same events that
-`yasl_app_desc.event` receives. Legacy surface polling returns only input types.
-
-| Previous use | Replacement |
-| --- | --- |
-| `yasl_surface_input_poll()`, `struct yasl_input_event` | `yasl_surface_poll_event()`, `struct yasl_event` |
-| `event.kind`, `YASL_INPUT_*` | `event.type`, `YASL_EVENT_*` |
-| `YASL_INPUT_MOUSE` with `mouse.kind` | `YASL_EVENT_POINTER_DOWN`, `_UP`, `_MOTION`, `_SCROLL`, `_LEAVE` with `event.pointer` |
-| Runner `YASL_EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON` with `pressed` | `YASL_EVENT_POINTER_DOWN` / `_UP` |
-| Integer `button` 0/1/2 | `YASL_BUTTON_PRIMARY`, `_MIDDLE`, `_SECONDARY`, `_BACK`, `_FORWARD` |
-| `paste.text`, `drop_files.files`, `text.text` | `text.data` for `PASTE`, `DROP`, and `TEXT` |
-| `YASL_INPUT_DROP_FILES` / `YASL_EVENT_DROP_FILES` | `YASL_EVENT_DROP` |
-| `YASL_EVENT_WINDOW_FOCUS` | `YASL_EVENT_FOCUS` |
-| `YASL_EVENT_WINDOW_SCALE_CHANGED` | `YASL_EVENT_WINDOW_RESIZE` with `resize.scale_changed` |
-| `YASL_EVENT_WINDOW_CLOSE_REQUEST` | `YASL_EVENT_WINDOW_CLOSE` |
-| `user.type` | `user.code` |
-| `key.repeat` | `key.action == YASL_KEY_REPEAT` |
-| `yasl_surface_set_mouse_mode()` | `yasl_surface_set_pointer_mode()` |
-
-Every event carries a monotonic `time_ns`. Pointer motion carries `delta` on
-both paths. Handle `YASL_EVENT_INPUT_RESET` by clearing held input and active
-strokes.
-
-## Window creation
-
-Rename `struct yasl_surface_spec` to `struct yasl_window_spec` and
-`struct yasl_surface_cbs` to `struct yasl_window_cbs`. Surface handles and
-functions retain their names. Supply the window's callback table in `spec.cbs`
-and its userdata in `spec.ud` when calling `yasl_surface_create_toplevel()` or
-`yasl_surface_create_native()`. Callback tables are copied, and userdata is
-borrowed. The new window's callbacks cannot run before creation returns; read
-initial geometry with `yasl_surface_geometry()` and request the first redraw
-after initializing application state.
-
-`yasl_surface_set_callbacks()` remains available to replace callbacks after
-creation and to configure popups. A NULL `spec.cbs` creates a window without
-callbacks. Displays owned by `yasl_run()` use the runner's callbacks instead;
-provide application notifications through `yasl_app_desc.event` and `.frame`.
-
-## Keyboard events
-
-| Previous use | Replacement |
-| --- | --- |
-| Linux keysym or Cocoa virtual keycode in `key.key` | Portable physical `YASL_KEY_*` identity |
-| `key.base` | `key.native_code`, with explicit backend-specific encoding |
-| `key.keypad` | Distinct `YASL_KEY_KP_*` identities |
-| Advisory `key.text` character | `YASL_EVENT_TEXT` UTF-8 payload for insertion |
-| Layout label from a keysym | Optional `key.codepoint` and `key.shifted` Unicode scalars |
-
-Replace magic numbers and X11 symbols with named keys. For example, a quit
-command checks `key.key == YASL_KEY_ESCAPE` on a press. `YASL_KEY_A` means the
-US A position on every layout; use layout labels when a command should follow
-the printed letter instead. Do not cast key identities to characters. Keypad
-Enter and ordinary Enter now have distinct identities without a separate flag.
-
-Text comes only from `YASL_EVENT_TEXT`. Handle its byte length, copy it when
-retaining it after the next successful poll, and allow multiple characters per
-commit. Cocoa sends key events through its text input manager; Wayland emits
-ordinary XKB text and locale compose results in addition to IME commits.
-
-## Scroll events
-
-Replace `scroll_lines`, `scroll_delta`, and scroll button numbers with
-`pointer.scroll.x` and `.y` for `YASL_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL`. These double
-values are fractional line offsets, positive right/down on every backend.
-Do not infer scroll direction from `button`. One event may include both axes.
-Remove backend-specific sign inversions and whole-line casts; multiply the
-offset by your application's preferred pixels per line instead.
-
-X11 still supplies whole wheel steps. Wayland high-resolution wheels and smooth
-offsets, and Cocoa precise scrolling, preserve fractions. Device acceleration
-and system preferences still affect the native offsets.
