A customer of mine had the strange problem, that SDL_SetRelativeMouseMode() was failing for him on Windows 7. Luckily he was willing to provide some debug informations. We could track this problem down to RegisterRawInputDevices() failing due to security software running on his system (Norton Internet Security to be precise, but there are reports of similar problems with other products. For example [1]). Working around this issue with SDL_WarpMouseInWindow() is easy, and while I don't think that SDL2 can provide an internal workaround it would be really nice and helpfull if this could be documentated somewhere.

In src\timer\windows\SDL_systimer.c there is an error with regards to timeBeginPeriod and timeEndPeriod. These functions typically get called when no high resolution timer is available, and GetTickCount is not used.
According to MSDN (link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757624(v=vs.85).aspx), for every call to timeBeginPeriod a subsequent call to timeEndPeriod is required. While SDL is currently doing this, it fails to call timeEndPeriod when cleaning up/shutting down SDL. Please note that these functions affect things on a system level. Failing to call timeEndPeriod, disables applications for using WINMM-timers after usage&shutdown of SDL, as effectively they the mechanism is now broken.
Solution:
Ensure this code gets called when shutting down the timer subsystem:
#ifndef USE_GETTICKCOUNT
if (!hires_timer_available)
{
timeSetPeriod(0);
}
#endif
This makes it possible to move windows by their title bar, even if they're in
relative mode, if you click the title bar when the window does not have focus.

Previously we were postponing our -[NSOpenGLContext update] call to the next
SDL_GL_SwapWindow, even if the context was current on the current thread. This
changes it so that we will do the update immediately if it's the current
context.
If you're rendering on another thread, you need to call SDL_GL_SwapWindow once
after a resize event to ensure your drawable will produce non-garbage data.

If the window has been created with values for SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK,
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION and SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION not matching those
required by the renderer, attempt to recreate the window.
This is needed on platforms where both GL and GLES 1/2 surfaces are supported
by the video backend, requiring that the window be recreated when switching
between context types.
Due to the new "tap and hold" IME in Mountain Lion and above, we were getting
inconsistent repeat of SDL_TEXTINPUT events. Disabling that functionality (since
you can't see the popover anyway) solves this.

The DualShock 4 has all elements listed twice: once in the top-level list of
elements, and once in an "Application Collection" element at the top-level.
Each element has a proper cookie with a unique value, so now we descend into
each element collections, but before we add an element to the device's list,
we make sure we don't already have one with that cookie, probably from
another collection or a buggy device.

All CPU detection functions SDL_Has* will return false, even if it is supported by the CPU, if SDL is compiled with MSVC and the target is x64.
The reason for this is that 'CPU_haveCPUID' will return 0 and macro 'cpuid' in SDL_cpuinfo.c is the fallback implementation, which sets all params to zero.
It is safe to assume that cpuid is supported on a CPU that runs windows x64, so CPU_haveCPUID can just return 1, and the empty macro can be replaced with a small wrap around the __cpuid intrinsic.

Starting from version 2.0.1 libsdl fails to build on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD in SDL_cpuinfo.c.
GNU/kFreeBSD defines __FreeBSD_kernel__ but not __FreeBSD__.
The #ifdef __FreeBSD__ check should be extended for __FreeBSD_kernel__, see the attached patch.

On OSX, an SDL app forces a system shutdown to be cancelled. This happens because [SDLAppDelegate applicationShouldTerminate] returns NSTerminateCancel. A better approach is to subclass NSApplication and override terminate to do nothing except call SDL_SendQuit. In response to a system shutdown notification, this allows the normal SDL Quit event processing to occur, and if the app then terminates, system shutdown occurs normally. Please see the attached patch, based on SDL 2.0.1.

On OSX, the app name in the menu bar is not localized. This can be fixed using the following implementation for GetApplicationName in SDL_cocoaevents.m:
static NSString *
GetApplicationName(void)
{
NSDictionary *dict;
NSString *appName = 0;
appName = [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleDisplayName"];
if (!appName)
appName = [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleName"];
if (![appName length])
appName = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] processName];
return appName;
}

The libuuid from e2fsprogs is completely unrelated to the w32api UUID.DLL implib. FWIW, any *NIX software that I've seen obviously wants the e2fsprogs version, but if libuuid-devel is installed (in /usr/lib) then you can't link against the w32api implib with a simple -luuid.
- Use the SDL_AUDIO_MASK_DATATYPE bit when selecting an implementation
where it matters. Previously two existing AUDIO_F32 cases had been
written, but were unreachable.
- Add AUDIO_F32 case for SDL_ConvertSurround_4.
- Fix incorrect pointer arithmetic causing the 2 to 6 channel
conversion for 4 byte audio formats to read and write beyond the end
of the buffer.

Event watchers are being executed on the inverse order they are added because they are added to the head of the SDL_event_watchers list.
Since watchers are allowed to change events before they are reported (they shouldn't, imo), this breaks code that rely on watcher execution order (such as distributed event handling).
An easy scenario to see this behaving weird to the user is if you add an event watcher to check mouse coordinates and check them again in your event loop. If you add the watcher after renderer's one (which always happens after you have initialized renderer), you get the same event but different coordinates.
The proposed patch adds the event watcher in the tail of the list, not in the beginning, and correctly fixes this problem.

Currently the UIKit/EAGL backend for SDL's OpenGL context creation API doesn't support OpenGL ES 3, despite iOS 7+ being capable (on devices with the necessary hardware.)
I have attached a patch to add support. It's also slightly more future-proof, so eventual OpenGL ES 4+ capability on iOS should hopefully work without requiring changes to SDL's UIKit/EAGL backend.

On my Mac OS X system (10.9.1), the SDL_MOUSEWHEEL event reports negative X values when my trackpad scrolls to the right, and positive X values when my trackpad scrolls to the left. This is backwards from what I'd expect, and I don't think it matches the Windows wheel events.
The vertical scroll values are what I'd expect though, and are consistent what gets reported on Windows (positive Y for scrolling up, negative Y for scrolling down.)
This is with "scroll direction: natural" disabled in the OS X trackpad settings (i.e. my scroll direction in non-SDL OS X programs matches what happens in Windows and Linux.)
I also tested with the horizontal scroll on a real mouse (Logitech G500 without custom drivers), and the horizontal scroll values in SDL are still flipped.
I "solved" the issue for myself by changing this line in the Cocoa_HandleMouseWheel function:
float x = [event deltaX];
to this:
float x = -[event deltaX];
I believe it should work fine with that change - I found something similar in another codebase while looking online for my issue - but I haven't tested on anything below Mac OS 10.8.
