The functions to show/hide/toggle the on-screen keyboard have been folded into the text input state.
Calling SDL_StartTextInput() will automatically show the on-screen keyboard if it's available.
Calling SDL_StopTextInput() will automatically hide the on-screen keyboard if it's available.
There is a new API function SDL_IsTextInputActive() which will return whether text input is currently active.
Text input is disabled by default, you must call SDL_StartTextInput() when you are ready to accept text input.
SDL_HasScreenKeyboardSupport() no longer needs to be passed a window.
The iPhone-specific on-screen keyboard functions have been removed.
Because it's so broken, I'm going to disable XRandR by default. You can still enable it via environment variable or application hint (SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_XRANDR)
rather than at configure time. As OS X supports lipo'ed versions of SDL for i386
and x86_64, a single set of headers that work for both architectures is desired.

currently SDL (HG) does not implement the power management functionality of
SDL_GetPowerInfo() for Android.
I attached a patch which tries to implement this functionality (JNI only, API
5). It supports plugged state and battery percent return values but not
remaining seconds (which are not available on Android).
It's a long-dead platform, and we don't have any way to build for, test, or
maintain it, so there's no sense in doing acrobatics to support it.
If you need Windows CE support, use SDL 1.2. If you need Windows Phone support,
send SDL 2.0 patches for the newer Windows Mobile platform.

With OpenGL 4.3 the ARB added a new context flag for context reset isolation
and renamed the existing ES2 profile bit to ES profile bit, as it can be used
to request GLES 3 compatible contexts, too.
This patch adds these changes to SDL on Linux and Windows.
Also SDL lacks the ability to create shared contexts. This patch also adds a
new GL attribute to enable context sharing. As casting a GL context to int is
not portable, I added only a boolean attribute
SDL_GL_SHARE_WITH_CURRENT_CONTEXT, which makes the new context share resources
with the context current on the creating thread.
I think you'll need to install Xquartz, the external-but-official replacement
for Apple's X11, to get the Xlib headers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5293
This required a small public API change: SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval() now accepts
negative values, and SDL_GL_GetSwapInterval() doesn't report errors anymore
(if it can't work, it'll return zero as a reasonable default).
If you need to test for errors, such as a lack of swap_control_tear support,
check the results of SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval() when you set your desired
value.

The SDL_Touch structure currently reserves fields for tablet tilt and rotation
(marked "for future use"), but a tablet stylus can tilt in both x and y
directions in addition to rotation around itself (or, put another way, it can
rotate in x, y and z). So, the struct should probably reserve fields for both
tilt_x and tilt_y, not just tilt.
From Scott Percival
Okay, I think I have something for this. Tested it on GL and GLES
machines, it seems to work okay.
- Add a new SDL GL attribute SDL_GL_CONTEXT_EGL:
- Only useful for the X11 video driver at the moment
- Set to 1 for an EGL context, 0 to use the default for the video driver
- Default is 0, unless library is built for EGL only
- Should be set after SDL init, but before window/context
creation (i.e. same place you'd specify attributes for major/minor GL
version)
- After a lot of agony pondering the least-terrible way to go about
it, made it so that X11_GL_LoadLibrary and X11_GLES_LoadLibrary check
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_EGL. If no GL context exists yet, and the attribute
choice doesn't match with the checking function, then it changes all
the function pointers in the video driver and passes control on to the
new LoadLibrary method.
- Likewise, make X11_CreateWindow check this attribute before firing
off a call to X11_GL_GetVisual/X11_GLES_GetVisual
- Added a sanity check to the start of X11_GL_LoadLibrary
- Tidied up SDL_x11opengles.h
- Moved ownership of the gles_data structure over to
X11_GLES_LoadLibrary/UnloadLibrary
- Should incorporate the 3 fixes posted by Andre Heider
This is obviously quite a bit to take in, but is (at least) a proof of
concept for the approach I think EGL/GLX mingling should take. Any
comments/criticism is much appreciated.
2.Replaced XKeycodeToKeysym with XkbKeycodeToKeysym since XKeycodeToKeysym is deprecated in newer X11 version
3.Rewrote testime.c since it was disabled after SDL_compat.c removal
4.Take into account common arguments also in testrelative.c
1.initial work on XInput2 support
2.Implemented relative mouse motion when XInput2 is enabled
3.Created a test app to test relative mouse motion
4.Fixed Bug #1498

I've updated the context creation patch to include the bugfixes by Martin
Schreiber and also included a profile bit to request a ES2 compatible profile.
The wgl context creation may use 2 call to wglChoosePixelFormat if no
acceleration attribute is selected, this should work around a bug with buggy
AMD drivers (see #1254).
It was very confusing to have configure generate an SDL_config.h and then not have it be used when building on Mac OS X or Windows. I'll just have to remember to use SDL_config_windows.h when building official releases that are supposed to be ABI compatible with Visual Studio.

This submission is aimed at making life easier for OpenGL ES capable devices
running a X11 stack (e.g. Maemo, Meego, TrimSlice, other ARM SoC boards not
running Android). SDL's Pandora support already has the neccesary GLES-to-X11
glue code, however it's all ghetto'd off in Makefile.pandora and not very
flexible.
The patch:
- adds an awesome --enable-video-opengles option to configure
- re-modifies the opengles and opengles2 SDL_renderers to use function pointers
- no idea why this was removed?
- for SDL_Renderers, links in libGLESv1_CM, libGLES_CM (for PowerVR fans) or
libGLESv2 at runtime
- links in libEGL.so at runtime - the old code made an assumption that
eglFunctions could be pulled from the active GLES library, PowerVR for one
doesn't let you do that with their libGLESv2
- allows you to pick which of GLES v1 or v2 to load via
SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION
So far I've tested this on a Nokia N900 (OMAP 3430/SGX 530 running Maemo 5) and
a Toshiba AC100 (Tegra 2 running Ubuntu 10.10). I haven't tested it on... well,
everything that isn't those two, such as a Pandora, iOS or Android device. The
Pandora specific code should be kept intact (fingers crossed), and nothing
painfully drastic has been added to the SDL_renderers. The library loading
sequence in SDL_x11opengles has been updated to accomodate both NVIDIA's
propensity to let developers get away with murder and PowerVR's alternative of
punishing every missed step.
The test apps work okay with GLES or GLES2 as the renderer. For some reason
alpha blending doesn't seem to work on the Tegra 2; last week NVIDIA pushed out
a new set of X11 GLES drivers, so I'll try and investigate once I upgrade
those. Also, this patch adds things to configure.in, include/SDL_config.h.in
and test/configure.in. I didn't know what the policy was re. committing
generated spaghetti from autotools, so ./autogen.sh has to be run again. Sorry.
I think that's about everything, let me know if there's anything I've
overlooked.

I figured out what is going on. GCC 4.5.2 assumes the stack is 16 byte aligned
by default. Therefore there are no AND alignment corrections necessary if we
wish to align a stack variable to a 16 byte boundary. That is bad if your OS
ABI is not 16 byte aligned. Windows 32 bit stacks are 4 byte aligned. This
results in the above mentioned SIGSEGV. This is also no problem if I compile
both SDL.dll and my app with MingW because MinGW/GCC inserts a
andl $-16, %esp
instruction right in the beginning of the main function. So at least the stack
of the thread calling the main function is 16 byte aligned. But as soon as I
start to use the SDL.dll from an application not compiled by MinGW there is no
ANDL safing my app.
However there is a GCC option that can change the default stack alignment:
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=num
Setting num=2 assumes a the stack is aligned to a 4 byte boundary. This results
in GCC inserting the necessary
andl $-16, %esp
into SDL_FillRect. Rebuilding SDL with
./configure "CFLAGS=-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -g -O3"
solved the problem.
IMHO this should also be a problem on Solaris.

The attached simple patch adds a timestamp to all SDL events. It is useful to
dismiss old events and add UI responsiveness (my application does some
extensive tasks that creates a delay in the event queue handling. With this
patch, I can deal only with the most recent events.
Matthew Orlando to Sam
Someone asked in IRC whether they should free the surface from SDL_GetWindowSurface. The doc comment is a bit vague so i checked the code and revised the comment.
Implemented thread priority as the 'nice' value on Linux. High priority threads require root permissions (you shouldn't give your game root permissions though!)
The bitmap ordering is defined such that the numbering refers to the pixel index from left to right, and the number position refers to the bit position in the byte.
SDL_BITMAPORDER_4321 is the fourth pixel at the high bit and the first pixel at the low bit (LSBFirst)
SDL_BITMAPORDER_1234 is the first pixel at the high bit and the fourth pixel at the low bit (MSBFirst)
Frank Zago to SDL
For those interested, here's a snapshot of the current port. I did away with
most of the previous attempt which was based of the sprite engine, because the
support is limited to 128 64x64 sprites. Instead I'm using the gl engine.
The drawback is that either the frame buffer or the gl engine can be used
because there's not that much video memory on a DS.
With minimal changes to their code, it can now run the following tests: ,
testspriteminimal, testscale and testsprite2. The last 2 only run under the
emulator for some reason. The tests are not included in this patch for size
reason.
In 16 bits mode, the 16th bit indicated transparency/opacity. If 0, the color
is not displayed. So I had to patch a few core file to set that bit to 1. See
patch for src/video/SDL_RLEaccel.c and src/video/SDL_blit.h. Is that ok, or is
there a better way ?
The nds also doesn't support windowed mode, so I force the fullscreen in
src/video/SDL_video.c. Is that ok, or is there a better way ?
To get a smaller library, I also tried to not compile the software renderer
when the hardware renderer is compiled in, and define SDL_NO_COMPAT; however
the compilation eventually fails in SDL_surface.c because SDL_SRCCOLORKEY is
defined in SDL_compat.h. Is SDL_NO_COMPAT only for application and not SDL
itself ?
