A complete clipboard implementation would support multiple formats that could be queried at runtime, events for when the clipboard contents changed, support for HTML, images, etc. We're not going that crazy, at least for now. :)

When compiling with -Wconversion, gcc complains about a cast in SDL_endian.h
that might change the result as we are casting from an int into an Uint16. This
is of course not visible unless we are on a non-x86 platform where the
assembler is not available.
While it's not really an error, the warning is really annoying. To fix, change
SDL_endian.h line 87 to:
return(Uint16)((x<<8)|(x>>8));
Thank you.
* Switched event type to enum (int32)
* Switched polling by mask to polling by type range
* Added SDL_RegisterEvents() to allow dynamic user event registration
* Spread events out to allow inserting new related events without breaking binary compatibility
* Added padding to event structures so they're the same size regardless of 32-bit compiler structure packing settings
* Split SDL_HasEvent() to SDL_HasEvent() for a single event and SDL_HasEvents() for a range of events
* Added SDL_GetEventState() as a shortcut for SDL_EventState(X, SDL_QUERY)
* Added SDL_FlushEvent() and SDL_FlushEvents() to clear events from the event queue

It seems the SDLK_LMETA and SDLK_RMETA constants have been removed from SDL
1.3. I grepped for them in the SDL source tree and these were the only hits:
./include/SDL_compat.h:230:#define SDLK_LSUPER SDLK_LMETA
./include/SDL_compat.h:231:#define SDLK_RSUPER SDLK_RMETA
./src/video/bwindow/SDL_BWin.h:194: keymap[0x66] = SDLK_LMETA;
./src/video/bwindow/SDL_BWin.h:195: keymap[0x67] = SDLK_RMETA;
I don't know how compatible SDL 1.3 is supposed to be with applications
designed for SDL 1.2. However, as you can see, SDL itself is still trying to
use the removed constants, and that is clearly a bug.
Because SDL_compat.h defines KMOD_LMETA as KMOD_LGUI, I suppose it should also
define SDLK_LMETA as SDLK_LGUI, and SDLK_RMETA likewise.

Hello,
I originally added pth support for threads in SDL 1.2 because on the Atari
platform we did not have any thread library.
I think pth support could be removed from SDL 1.3 for two reasons:
- Atari platform removed
- pth does not provides real (preemptive) threads, because it is user space,
and expect the application to call one of its function to give CPU to another
thread. So it is not exactly useful for applications, that expect threads to
run simultaneously.
