September 2025: Focused work on stabilizing the SDL Joystick Subsystem for macOS. Implemented macOS 11.0 compatibility by updating API availability checks and raising the minimum supported macOS version from 10.16 to 11.0. Resolved related compiler warnings and ensured correct API usage on macOS 11.0 and later, reducing build churn and improving runtime stability for SDL-powered apps. The changes are reflected in the commit that updates macOS version references (6d0fdb627ea086627ba258999209c7bebd228c31).

July 2025 monthly summary focusing on stability improvement and correct event handling for the SDL extension used by the SHADPS4 emulator. Major delivery: a bug fix ensuring SDL_WINDOWEVENT_RESTORED is only sent when the window is actually visible, preventing spurious UI events and improving user experience. This aligns with our UI stability goals and reduces unnecessary event processing. Delivered in shadps4-emu/ext-SDL with a visibility check implemented in Cocoa_WindowListener::windowDidResize. Commit: 30f0aeb26a287b1b3efe9a6e25c57c2d58ba1a06. Overall impact: improved reliability of window restoration events, lower UI noise, and more predictable behavior across platforms.
