Contributions summary:Fırat contributed to the Allegro 5 library by adding functionality related to querying monitor DPI. They implemented the `get_monitor_dpi` function for the Windows, macOS, and Linux (Xglx) drivers. This involved modifying existing system interfaces and implementing platform-specific code to retrieve DPI information, which was then integrated into an example program to demonstrate the new functionality. These contributions directly enhance Allegro's cross-platform capabilities by providing more accurate display information to developers.
