I'm on macOS 10.14 and I think I'm using or around SDL 2.0.9. This is about the menu bar that SDL sets up which looks like:
<App Name> <Window> <View>
1. View menu never proceeds after the Window menu in any Mac application (it is always before).
2. For SDL, the only purpose of the View menu is for a single fullscreen menu item, which is not justifiable enough to reserve space for a menu. The View menu should thus be removed, and the full screen menu item should be added at the end inside of Window's menu. See built in apps like Dictionary, Chess, App Store (on 10.14) that do this.
3. SDL should add a "Close" menu item to the Window's submenu, and it should be the first item. Its key equivalent should map to command w. Without this, you cannot close the game window via this shortcut, and you cannot close the app's About window via this shortcut.
4. Apps typically use "Enter Full Screen" or "Exit Full Screen" depending on context, not "Toggle Full Screen" which is less user friendly -- I personally care about this point the least.

After updating to SDL 2.0.9, I got a user report that my app was crashing when closing a SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN window to return to my Qt-based UI. It looks like the dead SDL window is getting a spurious updateLayer call which is causing SDL to dereference a null SDL_WindowData pointer.
For some reason, this only happens when using SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN and not windowed or SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP. I was also unsuccessful in my attempt to get a simple reproducer for this crash. The Session.cpp code is available 688c4a90d9/app/streaming/session.cpp but I slightly modified it (adding a SDL_PumpEvents() call at 1179 to immediately trigger the issue, otherwise it happened when Qt next pumped the event loop).
The crashing line is:
NSMutableArray *contexts = data->nscontexts;
Touch device types include SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_DIRECT (a touch screen with window-relative coordinates for touches), SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_INDIRECT_ABSOLUTE (a trackpad-style device with absolute device coordinates), and SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_INDIRECT_RELATIVE (a trackpad-style device with screen cursor-relative coordinates).
Phone screens are an example of a direct device type. Mac trackpads are the indirect-absolute touch device type. The Apple TV remote is an indirect-relative touch device type.
On Mojave, this will report large numbers for retina displays in fullscreen
mode, which isn't how it works on previous versions.

First: disable d'n'd events by default; most apps don't need these at all, and
if an app doesn't explicitly handle these, each drop on the window will cause
a memory leak if the events are enabled. This follows the guidelines we have
for SDL_TEXTINPUT events already.
Second: when events are enabled or disabled, signal the video layer, as it
might be able to inform the OS, causing UI changes or optimizations (for
example, dropping a file icon on a Cocoa app that isn't accepting drops will
cause macOS to show a rejection animation instead of the drop operation just
vanishing into the ether, X11 might show a different cursor when dragging
onto an accepting window, etc).
Third: fill in the drop event details in the test library and enable the
events in testwm.c for making sure this all works as expected.

The steps to reproduce are the same: run the "testrelative" SDL demo with "--info all",
connect a USB mouse with a scroll wheel, and roll the scroll wheel one "notch". You'll get log output like:
testdraw2[1644:67222] INFO: SDL EVENT: Mouse: wheel scrolled 0 in x and 0 in y (reversed: 1) in window 1
As far as I can tell macOS doesn't have an API for getting the number of "wheel notches"; I get a deltaY of 0.100006 for one "notch", and it's heavily accelerated (if you roll the wheel quickly you'll get large deltas). So NSEvent's deltaY is only meant to be used for scrolling a scroll view, with the given distance in points, not something like selecting an item in a game.
Here's a temporary patch that at restores the foor/ceil in Cocoa_HandleMouseWheel.
Not ideal, but at least it restores the ability to scroll one notch of a mousewheel.
This tries to load vulkan.framework or libvulkan.1.dylib before MoltenVK.framework
or libMoltenVK.dylib. In the previous version, layers would not work for applications
run-time loading the default library.
SDL now builds with gcc 7.2 with the following command line options:
-Wall -pedantic-errors -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-overlength-strings --std=c99

We need to use GLES2 to implement true cross-platform code.

SDL_AddDisplayMode returns an SDL_bool corresponding to whether or not the given display mode was added or not. It will return SDL_FALSE if a matching display mode already exists in the display's list of display modes, which causes ownership of the mode driverdata to remain with the caller. Some video drivers ignore the return value of SDL_AddDisplayMode, so leak the driverdata memory when SDL_AddDisplayMode returns SDL_FALSE.

Changing the background color causes the titlebar to blend against it on
modern macOS releases, making all SDL windows look wrong by default. This was
set to make the window not flash white before a GL context is ready, but we
can accomplish this in our window's view's drawRect implementation, too.

My app opens a 640x480 window. When I click on the window's maximize button, the window correctly fills the entire screen and loses its borders. But clicking on the restore button now doesn't restore the window to its original 640x480 size. Instead, the window size is identical to the screen size now. The only difference to the previous state is that the window now has borders again but it isn't restored to 640x480.

The window is now resized to its specified size, but it moves to the top left corner of the screen. That is unexpected because neither the user nor the program moved it there. Test program attached (the same one as before).
This also seems to fix the follow-up issue in bug #3719, whereby the initial fix caused the SDL window to move, after transitioning from fullscreen to windowed-mode
bastien.bouclet
When exiting a "fullscreen space" on OS X, windows don't go to their defined "windowed mode size", but go back to their previous size.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a windowed mode SDL window
2. Toggle it to fullscreen with the SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP flag
3. While in fullscreen, change the windowed mode size using SDL_SetWindowSize
4. Toggle the window back to windowed mode
Expected result:
- The window has the size specified during step 3.
Actual result:
- The window has the size specified when creating the window in step 1.
Attached is a minimal reproduction test case.
The attached test case works as expected on X11 and Windows.

Since the Vulkan merge, building against a Mac OS X SDM older than
10.11 fails in SDL_cocoametalview.m because Metal.framework is not
present. There is no conditional compiling in SDL_cocoametalview.m
either, so --disable-video-vulkan doesn't help with anything. (The
configury doesn't check darwin for x86_64 either, but it's another
story.)
I cross-build against 10.8 SDK on linux using clang-3.4.2 and this
is a problem for me. Will this be fixed?
