So if you go into System Preferences on a MacBook and toggle between a pair of
connected bluetooth headphones and built-in internal speakers, SDL will
switch the device it is playing sound through, to match this setting, on the
fly.
Likewise if the default output device is a USB thing and is unplugged; as the
default device changes at the system level, SDL will pick this up and carry
on with the new default. This is different from our unplug detection for
specific devices, as in those cases we want to send the app a disconnect
notification, instead of migrating transparently as we now do for default
devices.
Note that this should also work for capture devices; if the device changes,
SDL will start recording from the new default.
Fixes Bugzilla #4851.
This avoids the need to malloc something extra, use a semaphore, etc, and
fixes Emscripten with pthreads support, which might not spin up a web worker
until after SDL_CreateThread returns and thus can't wait on a semaphore at
this point in any case.
Fixes Bugzilla #5064.

Hello. I try to implement an application for Android, which uses a new sensors API from 2.0.9 to control a camera rotation via built-in gyroscope, using the code from the test/testsensor.c as an example.
Gyroscope input itself works well, but an interval between SDL_SENSORUPDATE events is about 200ms (the SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL, I believe), when I need the interval about 20-40ms (the SENSOR_DELAY_GAME or SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST).
Test apps in Xcode-iOS/Test/TestiPhoneOS.xcodeproj weren't launching
in the most-recent release of Xcode and the iOS Simulator (version 11.3.1).
This was caused by their shared Info.plist file not defining a
CFBundleShortVersionString (as reported by Xcode, when launching a test
app from within Xcode).
If a driver's implementation of CreateWindowFramebuffer sets the window
surface, use that rather than overwriting it. A driver may set the window
surface if data cannot be passed via the CreateWindowFramebuffer output
parameters (e.g. surface palette colors).
Otherwise our cached state goes out of sync when updating a texture. Since
these state changes aren't necessary, they were removed instead of updating
the cached state.
Fixes Bugzilla #4998.

I've noticed that the Switch Pro Controller hidapi driver does not report battery levels when connected via Bluetooth, despite having code for setting joystick->epowerlevel.
This is caused by the driver always using k_eSwitchInputReportIDs_SimpleControllerState via Bluetooth. Using that mode means that the state reports you get back from the controller do not include battery state. Not using the full controller state over Bluetooth effectively makes this driver's support for setting joystick->epowerlevel entirely pointless, only ever reporting SDL_JOYSTICK_POWER_WIRED.
Is there a reason this was set to only use SimpleControllerState via Bluetooth?
I've attached a patch I'm using to allow getting battery level for the Switch Pro Controller.
A couple notes about this patch:
1) It changes LoadStickCalibration to accept the input_mode that is selected, because that's really what should determine what is used for stick extents, since stick extents differ between the modes.
2) In my patch I only use FullControllerState when the vid/pid matches the official Switch Pro Controller, as a cautionary measure in case some third-party controllers have problems with FullControllerState mode via Bluetooth (I noticed a HORI Wireless Switch Pad I had seemed to not read controller calibration correctly for stick extents. Maybe it's calibration data was uninitialized on account of having never been used with a Switch? I'm unsure, though if that guess is right maybe SDL2 should be detecting an uninitiated calibration state and using some sensible defaults)
There are a number of poorly behaved HID devices that time out on attempts to
read various strings. Rather than end up on an endless treadmill of blacklisting
broken devices, reduce our risk by only querying devices that are gamepads.
SDL_hidapijoystick.c already checks these same usages, so we shouldn't
exclude any working HID devices (caveat below).
This also makes HidP_GetPreparsedData() and HidP_GetCaps() failure skip
the device entirely, but that seems desired. If a device can't even return basic
top-level collection data properly, we want nothing to do with that broken device.
If we do find devices that work with HIDAPI joystick and fail these calls, we can
add an exception via VID+PID matching.

The HORI Wireless Switch Pad does not properly connect via bluetooth. I did some debugging and found that the code that tries to control the Home LED causes this controller to disconnect.
This results in a dlsym() call, which causes Emscripten to panic if the game
wasn't explicitly built dlopen support. eglGetProcAddress works just fine on
this platform, so just let that codepath handle it.

When the project directory path contains spaces, CMake butchers the include path for the hidapi files.
I traced the problem to the cmake/sdlchecks.cmake file at line 1091, which sets flags for the build process. I surrounded the problem flag with double quotes, shown below, and CMake works with spaces in the project directory path.
This is a multi-part fix, and is the 2nd attempt at a fix for Bug 5034. Here
are the problems being addressed:
1. On macOS 10.14.x and earlier, trying to call IOHIDDeviceUnscheduleFromRunLoop
without a prior, paired call to IOHIDDeviceScheduleWithRunLoop, appears to
lead to a crash. A per-device flag has been added to make sure that these
calls are paired.
2. DARWIN_JoystickDetect was free'ing its SDL_joystick's hwdata field
(via FreeDevice) without setting it to NULL, and DARWIN_JoystickRumble wasn't
checking for a NULL hwdata. FreeDevice will now set hwdata to NULL and
DARWIN_JoystickRumble will check for a NULL hwdata.

Added Linux implementation, otherwise you get "Unsupported direction type" error.
Added documentation to explain why one would use SDL_HAPTIC_FIRST_AXIS.
Mathieu Laurendeau
Consider a device supporting effects on multiple axes.
There's currently no way to play effects against a single-axis direction.
A device supporting effects against X and Y may not allow to play effects with a two-axis direction coordinate, even if one of the coordinates is null.
My current (ugly) work around for this is to add a direction type SDL_HAPTIC_X_FORCE to play effects against a X-axis only direction (patch attached).
This issue impacted two GIMX users using the following wheels:
- Leo Bodnar SimSteering force feedback wheel
- Accuforce direct drive wheel
Playing constant/spring/damper effects against a X-axis direction worked well for the first wheel, but not for the second one.
A better strategy seems to play the effects against the first axis reported by the DirectInput enumeration.
This strategy also works with Logitech wheels (at least the DFGT).
It's been more than a year that I have the latest patch (playing effects against the first axis only) in the GIMX software. It's being used by thousands of people, mostly for adapting their FFB wheel to the PS4. I had no report that proves this strategy to be wrong.

Add new RawInput controller API, and improved correlation with XInput/WGI
Reorder joystick init so drivers can ask the others if they handle a device reliably
Do not poll disconnected XInput devices (major perf issue)
Fix various cases where incorrect correlation could happen
Simple mechanism for propagating unhandled Guide button presses even before guaranteed correlation
Correlate by axis motion as well as button presses
Fix failing to zero other trigger
Fix SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI not working if set before calling SDL_Init()
Add missing device to device names
Disable RawInput if we have a mismatch of XInput-capable but not RawInput-capable devices
Updated to SDL 2.0.13 code with the following notes:
New HID driver: xbox360w - no idea what that is, hopefully urelated
SDL_hidapijoystick.c had been refactored to couple data handling logic with device opening logic and device lists caused some problems, yields slightly uglier integration than previously when the 360 HID device driver was just handling the data.
SDL_hidapijoystick.c now often pulls the device off of the joystick_hwdata structure for some rumble logic, but it appears that code path is never reached, so probably not a problem.
Looks like joystick_hwdata was refactored to not include a mutex in other drivers, maintainers may want to do the same refactor here if that's useful for some reason.
Something changed in how devices get names, so getting generic names.
Had to fix a (new?) bug where removing an XInput controller caused existing controllers (that moved to a new XInput index) to get identified as 0x045e/0x02fd ("it's probably Bluetooth" in code), rendering the existing HIDAPI_IsDevicePresent and new RAWINPUT_IsDevicePresent unreliable.
