SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface makes an internal call to SDL_GetColorKey which can return an error and spams the error log with "Surface doesn't have a colorkey" even though the original function didn't return an error.
New functions get and set the YUV colorspace conversion mode:
SDL_SetYUVConversionMode()
SDL_GetYUVConversionMode()
SDL_GetYUVConversionModeForResolution()
SDL_ConvertPixels() converts between all supported RGB and YUV formats, with SSE acceleration for converting from planar YUV formats (YV12, NV12, etc) to common RGB/RGBA formats.
Added a new test program, testyuv, to verify correctness and speed of YUV conversion functionality.

I've written a small patch that adds a small SDL_DuplicateSurface function to SDL. I've written the function as part of a larger (as yet unfinished) patch, but I think this function is useful enough that it merits inclusion in SDL on its own.

Currently, SDL_CreateRGBSurface() and SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom() take Uint32 masks for RGBA to "describe" the Pixelformat of the surface.
Internally those value are only used to map to one of the SDL_PIXELFORMAT_* enum values that are used for further processing.
I think it would be both handy and more efficient to be able to specify SDL_PIXELFORMAT_* yourself without using SDL_PixelFormatEnumToMasks() to create masks first, so I implemented functions that do that:
SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormat() and SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormatFrom() which are like the versions without "WithFormat" but instead of taking 4 Uint32s for R/G/B/A masks, they take one for a SDL_PIXELFORMAT_* enum value.
Together with https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2923 creating a SDL_Surface* from RGBA data (e.g. from stb_image) is as easy as
surf = SDL_SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormat(0, w, h, bppToUse*8, SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA32);

The current SDL_SaveBMP_RW function that saves surfaces to a BMP uses an old bitmap header which doesn't officially support alpha channels. Applications just ignore the byte where the alpha is stored. This can easily be extended by using a newer header version and setting the alpha mask.
The attached patch has these changes:
- Extending the description of the function in the SDL_surface.h header with the supported formats.
- Refining when surfaces get stored to a 32-bit BMP. (Must have bit depth of 8 or higher and must have an alpha mask or colorkey.)
- Fixing a small bug that saves 24-bit BGR surfaces with a colorkey in a 24-bit BMP.
- Adding code that switches to the bitmap header version 4 if the surface has an alpha mask or colorkey. (I chose version 4 because Microsoft didn't lose its documentation behind a file cabinet like they did with version 3.)
- Adding a hint that can disable the use of the version 4 header. This is for people that need the legacy header or like the old behavior better. (I'm not sure about the hint name, though. May need changing if there are any rules to that.)
The render viewport is automatically re-centered when the window changes size, so applications that don't care will not have to handle recalculating their rendering coordinates.
Fixed API for drawing and filling multiple rectangles - the parameter should be an array of rects, not an array of pointers to rects.
Fixed API for updating window rects for consistency with other APIs - the order is pointer to array followed by count in array.
Fixed creating render texture framebuffer.
Removed the need for palette watch, added surface format caching.
Added an SDL_DONTFREE flag so you can't free the window and 1.2 shadow surfaces.
Renamed SDL_RenderPoint() and SDL_RenderLine() to SDL_RenderDrawPoint() and SDL_RenderDrawLine().
Added API for rectangle drawing (as opposed to filling)
Added placeholder API functions for circles and ellipses ... I'm not sure whether these will stay.
Optimized software line drawing quite a bit.
Added support for Wu's anti-aliased line drawing, currently disabled by default.
