- Added new custom launch screen code. It uses the launch screen nib when available on iOS 8+, the launch images dictionary if the launch screen nib isn't available, and the old standard image names if the launch image dictionary isn't in the plist.
The launch screen is now hidden during the first call to SDL_PumpEvents rather than SDL_CreateWindow so apps can have the launch screen still visible if they do time-consuming loading after creating their window. It also fades out in roughly the same way as the system launch screen behavior.
It can be disabled by setting the SDL_IPHONE_LAUNCHSCREEN define in SDL_config_iphoneos.h to 0.
- A blank UIView is now created and displayed when the window is first created. The old behavior was to defer creating any view until SDL_GL_CreateContext, which prevented rotation, touch events, and other windowing-related things from working until then. This also makes it easier to use SDL_GetWindowWMInfo after creating a window.
- Moved the keyboard and animation callback code from SDL's UIView subclasses to its UIViewController subclass, which lets them work properly in all cases when a SDL window is valid, even before SDL_GL_CreateContext is called and after SDL_GL_DeleteContext is called.
- SDL_GL_CreateContext, SDL_GL_SwapWindow, SDL_GL_MakeCurrent, and SDL_GL_DeleteContext are more robust.
- Fixed some edge cases where SDL windows weren't rotating properly or their reported sizes were out of sync with their actual sizes.
- Removed all calls to [UIApplication setStatusBarOrientation:]. It doesn't seem to work as expected in all cases in recent iOS versions.
- Some code style cleanup.

SDL's Cocoa backend uses the CGDisplayMode API to get refresh rate information about a display mode, but CGDisplayModeGetRefreshRate will return 0 on most non-CRT monitors.
The only way I know of to get correct refresh rate information in OS X is via the CoreVideo DisplayLink API.
I have attached a patch which tries to use the CVDisplayLinkGetNominalOutputVideoRefreshPeriod function if CGDisplayModeGetRefreshRate fails, which fixes display mode refresh rate information on the monitors I tested.
The CVDisplayLink API requires linking with the CoreVideo framework, and the patch updates the various build files to do so.

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.

Now that SDL on iOS requires CoreMotion to be linked, some of the Xcode projects included with the SDL source (such as the iOS tests and the iOS app template) as well as the premake and automake scripts need to be updated.
I've attached a patch which does so. It also fixes the SDL Xcode project to build for 64-bit ARM as well as armv7 by default (or whatever the default ARM targets are for the Xcode version used), which is what the iOS app template expects.

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.
