SDL_HINT_WINRT_PREF_PATH_ROOT allows WinRT apps to alter the path that
SDL_GetPrefPath() returns. Setting it to "local" uses the app's
OS-defined Local folder, setting it to "roaming" uses the app's OS-defined
Roaming folder.
Roaming folder support is not available in Windows Phone 8.0. Attempts to
make SDL_GetPrefPath() return a Roaming folder on this OS will be ignored.
Various bits of documentation on this were added to SDL_hints.h, and to
README-winrt.md
The "future-dev" branch of MSOpenTech's ANGLE/WinRT repository (at
https://github.com/msopentech/angle) includes support for Windows Phone 8.1.
This change allows it to be used in conjunction with SDL's OpenGL functions.
A negative periodic magnitude doesn't exist in Windows' and MacOS' FF APIs
The periodic magnitude parameter of the SDL Haptic API is based on the Linux
FF API, so it means they are not directly compatible:
'dwMagnitude' is a 'DWORD', which is unsigned.

In file included from /Users/johnskaller/SDL/src/dynapi/SDL_dynapi.c:31:
include/SDL_syswm.h:211:39: error: missing binary operator before token "("
The fault appears to be here:
#if defined(__OBJC__) && __has_feature(objc_arc)
that the __has_feature macro is not supported by gcc 4.2.
The code works fine with my clang 3.3svn.

this patch adds a check to the CMake build script to detect whether the VideoCore API is available.
If it is found, it enables SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER_RPI and will also add the needed include/library directory flags to CMAKE_C_FLAGS so the subsequent check for GLES succeeds in picking up the headers.
Seems to work fine on Raspbian.
There was a misconception that Linux's saturation and deadband parameters -
on which the corresponding SDL parameters were based - use only half of the
possible range.
Thanks, Elias!
Partially fixes Bugzilla #2686.
1) Moves all READMEs to docs/
2) Renames them to *.md, adds some Markdown with the idea to add a lot more
3) Moves the doxyfile config to doc/ and makes it parse the headers at ../include as well as the md files in docs.
4) Skips SDL_opengl*.h headers from the docs
5) Minor fixes to doxyfile

Since changeset 358696c354a8, SDL 2.0 has been broken on Solaris when compiling with the Solaris Studio compiler (which uses the pthread implementation of SDL_AtomicLock).
Notably, it gets stuck at the MemoryBarrierRelease in SDL_GetErrBuf:
6585 # 218
6586 if (!tls_errbuf && !tls_being_created) {
6587 SDL_AtomicLock_REAL ( & tls_lock );
6588 if (!tls_errbuf) {
6589 SDL_TLSID slot;
6590 tls_being_created = SDL_TRUE;
6591 slot = SDL_TLSCreate_REAL ( );
6592 tls_being_created = SDL_FALSE;
6593 { SDL_SpinLock _tmp = 0 ; SDL_AtomicLock_REAL ( & _tmp ) ; SDL_AtomicUnlock_REAL ( & _tmp ) ; };
^^^ loops forever above
6594 tls_errbuf = slot;
6595 }
6596 SDL_AtomicUnlock_REAL ( & tls_lock );
6597 }

As far as I can tell, this is because pthread_spin_trylock() always returns EBUSY for this particular lock; since it works in other places, I'm suspicious.
Different Solaris Studio compiler versions seem to make no difference.
I've verified this is broken on Linux as well if SDL_spinlock.c is modified to use the pthread implementation.
This appears to be because pthread_spin_init() and pthread_spin_destroy() are not used with the locks as required.
Notes:
- Support for the 'Guide' button does not seem to be possible, as
XInputGetStateEx is not available on WinRT.
- Haptic support appears to be working on WinRT now!
- SDL/WinRT does not allow calls to LoadLibrary or LoadLibraryEx. The calls
to those were removed by this change, but only when compiling for WinRT.
Non-WinRT Windows will continue to detect and load XInput via LoadLibrary and
GetProcAddress calls.
If the EGL extension EGL_KHR_create_context is available, we can use it to
set the core/compatability profile and the minimum OpenGL version.
Use this if it is available to get the context requested by the GL attributes.

SDL's code for exposing the accelerometer as a joystick on iOS currently uses UIAccelerometer, which was superseded by the CoreMotion framework and deprecated since iOS 5.
The UIAccelerometer code still works (for now), but it also throws deprecation warnings whenever SDL is built for iOS, since SDL's deployment target is no longer below iOS 5.
I've created a patch which replaces the old UIAccelerometer code with a replacement based on the CoreMotion framework. It has identical functionality (to SDL users), however iOS apps are now required to link to the CoreMotion framework when using SDL.
This adds support for all XInput devices, exposed through the SDL joystick API.
The button and axis reporting for XInput devices has been changed to match DirectInput and other platforms.
The game controller xinput mapping has been updated so this change is seamless.
There is a new hint, SDL_HINT_XINPUT_USE_OLD_JOYSTICK_MAPPING, for any applications that have hardcoded the old xinput button and axis set. This hint will be removed in SDL 2.1.

Now that SDL for iOS requires at least iOS 5.1 at runtime, there are several old codepaths in the UIKit backend which can be removed. I've attached a patch which does so.

Fix win32 build which was failing due to missing PRIs64.
This change adds definitions for the C99 PRIs16 and PRIu64
which are missing from <stdint.h> on at last win32 and
possibly other platforms.
These already existed in testgesture.c so I removed them
from there also.

If you #define NO_SDL_GLEXT before including SDL_opengl.h, it still includes the platform-provided glext.h. The comments indicate that this define is intended to be used when you provide your own glext.h (quote from SDL_opengl.h: "Define this if you have your own version of glext.h and want to disable the version included in SDL_opengl.h.")
This is a problem because glext.h depends on the contents of gl.h, and it's practical to let SDL_opengl.h pick the right #include for gl.h for our platform.
There were several good arguments for this: it's how Windows works with
WM_NCHITTEST, SDL doesn't need to manage a list of rects, it allows more
control over the regions (how do you use rects to cleanly surround a circular
button?), the callback can be more optimized than a iterating a list of
rects, and you don't have to send an updated list of rects whenever the
window resizes or layout changes.
