SDL 2.x recently accepted patches to enable OpenGL ES 2 support via Google's ANGLE library. The thought is to try to eventually merge SDL/WinRT's OpenGL code with SDL-official's.

As it turns out, it was impossible to render a texture flipped diagonally (both vertically and horizontally) with one RenderCopyEx call.
With help from #SDL @ freenode, we came up with a fix.
To enable the Debug Layer, set the hint, SDL_HINT_RENDER_DIRECT3D11_DEBUG to '1'.
The Debug Layer will be turned off by default, both in Release and Debug builds (of SDL).

The problem in question is caused by changeset 7771 (http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/5486e579872e / https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2121)
The redefinition of __inline__ (introduced by the addition of begin_code.h:128's "|| __STRICT_ANSI__") results in mingw's gcc throwing multiple
warning: always_inline function might not be inlinable [-Wattributes]
as well as a whole bunch of redefinitions of mingw internals which break linking of projects including the SDL2 headers.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 (GL version 1.4 Mesa 8.0.4) , and on drawing a set of lines through the renderer through SDL_RenderDrawLines() (looped or not) or SDL_RenderDrawRect() I notice a pixel missing. For RenderDrawLines() it seems to be the second point in the sequence; for RenderDrawRect() it is the lower-right. This can be fixed by specifying SDL_RenderDrawPoint(s), but wouldn't it be easier to specify each pixel in a GL_POINTS glBegin/End loop in the OpenGL code, just to make sure?
I also ran the same program on Android; the rendering seemed to be correct, which uses glDrawArrays.

Overview:
SDL_RenderClear is only clearing part of a texture when it is the render target and a different size than the screen.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) This only occurs with the render driver set to direct3d, so: SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_RENDER_DRIVER,"direct3d")
Also, my window was 1280x720.
2) Create a texture for a render target with a resolution of 1024x1024:
texture=SDL_CreateTexture(main_window.renderer,SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA8888,SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET,1024,1024);
SDL_SetTextureBlendMode(texture,SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND);
3) Target the texture for rendering: SDL_SetRenderTarget(main_window.renderer,texture);
4) Set the draw color to whatever you want (problem occurs with both 0,0,0,0 and 0,0,0,255 among others) and then clear the render target:
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(main_window.renderer,0,0,0,0);
SDL_RenderClear(main_window.renderer);
Actual Results:
Only about the top 3/4s of the texture gets cleared on calling SDL_RenderClear. The bottom 1/4 or so does not clear.
Expected Results:
Entire render target should be cleared.
This change should allow apps to render correctly in Portrait mode, at minimum,
Support for orientation changes is pending.
Thanks to Pierre-Yves for assistance!
This is part of an overall effort to use the name, "WinRT", rather than "WindowsRT" (or "Windows RT"), as the shorthand name often seems to mean something different than the longhand name. (WinRT is an API, Windows RT is a product name)
