The event timestamp members should be documented to indicate their meaning and units.
Currently the timestamps are populated using SDL_GetTicks() in SDL_PushEvent() in SDL_events.c.
This allows an app to know when a set of drops are coming in a grouping of
some sort (for example, a user selected multiple files and dropped them all
on the window with a single drag), and when that set is complete.
This also adds a window ID to the drop events, so the app can determine to
which window a given drop was delivered. For application-level drops (for
example, you launched an app by dropping a file on its icon), the window ID
will be zero.
This fills in the core pieces and fully implements it for Mac OS X.
Most other platforms, at the moment, will report a disconnected device if
it fails to write audio, but don't notice if the system's device list changed
at all.

On my Mac OS X system (10.9.1), the SDL_MOUSEWHEEL event reports negative X values when my trackpad scrolls to the right, and positive X values when my trackpad scrolls to the left. This is backwards from what I'd expect, and I don't think it matches the Windows wheel events.
The vertical scroll values are what I'd expect though, and are consistent what gets reported on Windows (positive Y for scrolling up, negative Y for scrolling down.)
This is with "scroll direction: natural" disabled in the OS X trackpad settings (i.e. my scroll direction in non-SDL OS X programs matches what happens in Windows and Linux.)
I also tested with the horizontal scroll on a real mouse (Logitech G500 without custom drivers), and the horizontal scroll values in SDL are still flipped.
I "solved" the issue for myself by changing this line in the Cocoa_HandleMouseWheel function:
float x = [event deltaX];
to this:
float x = -[event deltaX];
I believe it should work fine with that change - I found something similar in another codebase while looking online for my issue - but I haven't tested on anything below Mac OS 10.8.

The state bitmask in SDL_MouseMotionEvent is stored in an Uint8. Unfortunately this doesn't actually have room for 8 buttons because SDL skips 4 button indices after the third mouse button (at least here on Linux x86-64, probably related to wheel handling?), so it's really just enough to track 4 buttons. For example, on a Logitech MX310 mouse I've got, even though the mouse has 6 buttons total, the left and right side buttons and extra middle button have indexes 8, 9 and 10, and the last two won't fit in the 8 bit button state.
The source of the button state (in SDL_Mouse) is already 32-bit, and the state field in SDL_MouseMotionEvent is 32-bit aligned and followed by three 8-bit padding fields. So simply changing the SDL_MouseMotionEvent state to an Uint32 and removing the padding fields fixes this, and I think it should be binary compatible, at least for little endian.
- add mappings after init (or even before w/o using the hint)
- get string for axis
- get string for button
- get mapping string for controller or for GUID
- new event to notify when a controller is remapped. (e.g. mapping was changed via the AddMapping method)
* Normalized touch coordinates as floats in the 0...1 range
* Removed unused touchpad concepts from the API
* Added API functions to get active touch devices and current finger state
