Announcing the SDL_mixer 3 official release!

SDL_mixer 3.0 is finally here!

SDL_mixer 3.0 is a complete redesign, rewritten almost from scratch to address deficiencies in SDL_mixer 2.0. The API is completely different and, in our opinion, a significant improvement in power and ease of use. Please refer to README-migration.md for details on how to migrate your program to the new API.

You can see an example of how to use the new API here:
https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_mixer/blob/main/docs/hello.c

We've also updated the installation instructions and added a quick reference guide:
https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3_mixer

Enjoy!
