This kind of blending is rather quite useful and in my opinion should be available for all renderers. I do need it myself, but since I didn't want to use a custom blending mode which is supported only by certain renderers (e.g. not in software which is quite important for me) I did write implementation of SDL_BLENDMODE_MUL for all renderers altogether.
SDL_BLENDMODE_MUL implements following equation:
dstRGB = (srcRGB * dstRGB) + (dstRGB * (1-srcA))
dstA = (srcA * dstA) + (dstA * (1-srcA))

I think I did cover all possibilities within included patch, but I didn't write any tests for SDL_BLENDMODE_MUL, so it would be lovely if someone could do it.
This sequence works across Microsoft, PowerA, PDP, and HORI controllers.
The newer Microsoft XBox firmware requires synchronizing the rumble sequence number, when SDL sees it after the initial connect
The Razer Wildcat controller requires waiting for init responses before continuing the initialization sequence.
The PDP Battlefield 1 controller takes over a second to be ready for initialization, and if initialization is attempted before then, it will fail.
Use XGetKeyboardControl to initialize the current XKeyboardState, and
skip XAutoRepeatOn invocation if global_auto_repeat is AutoRepeatModeOn.
This fixes SDL2 when the X11 client is untrusted.
Do not try to guess MIT_SHM extension availability from the string
returned by XDisplayName, use the appropriate API instead.
This fixes SDL2 inside hasher.

The new source files for coremotion sensors don't seem to have been included correctly in configure.in. This leads to the build script ios-build.sh to fail at link time, complaining about missing symbols, namely about missing SDL_COREMOTION_SensorDriver.

On my system, SDL_GetPowerInfo() returns -1 seconds of battery life left. I have quickly investigated that in my case SDL uses sys interface to get battery data. It tries to read "time_to_empty_now" file which is not always present. However, it is still possible to calculate remaining lifetime using "energy_now" and "power_now" files. This is what my simple patch (included as attachment) tries to accomplish.
Best wishes.

We build SDL with Visual studio 2017 compiler on Windows Server 2016, but it failed to build due to error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol memset referenced in function SDL_SetJoystickIDForPlayerIndex with MSVC x64 on Windows on latest default branch. And we found that it can be first reproduced on 0fff06175109 changeset. Could you please help have a look about this issue? Thanks in advance!
Steps to Reproduce:
1.hg clone https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL D:\SDL\src
2.Open a VS 2017 x64 command prompt as admin and browse to D:\SDL
3.msbuild /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64 /p:WindowsTargetPlatformVersion=10.0.17134.0 VisualC\SDL.sln /t:Rebuild
Actual result:
Creating library D:\SDL\src\VisualC\x64\Release\SDL2.lib and object D:\SDL\src\VisualC\x64\Release\SDL2.exp
SDL_joystick.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol memset referenced in function SDL_SetJoystickIDForPlayerIndex [D:\SDL\src\VisualC\SDL\SDL.vcxproj]

The function we currently use, IOHIDDeviceRegisterRemovalCallback(), often
fails on Catalina with a "__CFRunLoopModeFindSourceForMachPort returned NULL"
error message. Once a removal callback is missed, we will eventually crash when
the joystick is closed attempting to use the invalid IOHIDDeviceRef.

This was something rather trivial to add, but asked at least several times before (I did google about it as well).
It should be possible to dynamically change scaling mode of the texture. It is actually trivial task, but until now it was only possible with a hint before creating a texture.
I needed it for my game as well, so I took the liberty of writing it myself.
This patch adds following functions:
SDL_SetTextureScaleMode(SDL_Texture * texture, SDL_ScaleMode scaleMode);
SDL_GetTextureScaleMode(SDL_Texture * texture, SDL_ScaleMode *scaleMode);
That way you can change texture scaling on the fly.
Using Wii U GameCube USB adapter with multiple controllers attached and
restarting SDL input in a game results in extra joysticks with NULL name.
HIDAPI_CleanupDeviceDriver() shut down joysticks by iterating through
device->num_joysticks but each HIDAPI_JoystickDisconnected() decreases
device->num_joysticks and shifts joysticks array down. Resulting in only
half of controllers being shutdown. It worked with only 1 controller
attached though.
Disconnect HIDAPI device joystick 0 until there are none left.
Message in the log, when going to background:
"call to OpenGL ES API with no current context (logged once per thread)"
Because of SDL_WINDOWEVENT_MINIMIZED is sent from the Java Activity thread.
It calls SDL_RendererEventWatch(), _WindowEvent() and glFinish() without context.
Solution is to move sending of SDL_WINDOWEVENT_MINIMIZED to the SDL thread.
