We have found that since SDL 2.0.5 the audio callback thread is created with a very small stack size. In our application this is leading to stack overflows.
We believe there is a bug at http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/5a77f977ad95/src/audio/SDL_audio.c#l1132, where the is_internal_thread flag appears to be inverted.

In X11 the SDL error "Unknown touch device" can occur after which the application stops recognizing touch events. For a kiosk-type application this results in a hang as far as the user is concerned. This is reproducible on HP Z220/Z230/Z240 workstations by swapping USB cables for a while and it also occurs with no physical changes, probably due to USB device power management. A workaround is to make SDL re-enumerate the touch devices like it does at startup. A patch is attached.

Its possible to set SDL_CaptureMouse() so you continue receiving mouse input while the mouse is outside your window. This works however There is then a gap where no messages send, which is when the mouse is hovering the title bar and the window edges.
X11 seemed to be confused by the broad definition, so WEIGHT_NAME,
SLANT and SETWIDTH_NAME were defined, thus fixing the font lookup
on some systems (tested on Mageia 6 with X11 1.19.1).
Fixes bug 3571.

GL_ActivateRenderer may call GL_UpdateViewport, which leaves the GL_PROJECTION matrix selected. But after GL_ResetState, the GL_MODELVIEW matrix is selected, suggesting that's the intended default state.
It seems at least like these should be consistent. Presumably GL_UpdateViewport should be doing a glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW) before it finishes.
Also updates the naming of these Xbox Wireless Controllers connected via USB (and thus the third-party Xbox Controller Driver) to match.
The Xbox Wireless Controller entries are now listed, in order, via USB, bia Bluetooh (with older firmware) and via Bluetooth (with firmware 3.1.1221.0).
This is a bleeding edge API, added to Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (build
1607, specifically).

Nothing supports this yet, including WinDbg, Visual Studio, minidumps, etc,
so we still need to also use the RaiseException hack. But presumably tools
will use this API as a more robust and universal way to get thread names
sooner or later, so we'll start broadcasting to it now.
Firmware revision 3.1.1221.0 changes the mapping of the Xbox One S
controller in Bluetooth mode. Aside from changing the layout of
other buttons, this revision also changes the triggers to act as
Accelerator and Brake axes from the simulation controls page.
The Darwin sysjoystick code didn't previously map anything at these
axes, making it impossible to detect input on these two buttons.
This defaults to the internal SDL resampler, since that's the likely default
without a system-wide install of libsamplerate, but those that need more can
tweak this.
This currently favors libsamplerate over the fast path (quality over speed),
but I'm not sure that's the correct approach, as there may be surprising
changes in performance metrics depending on what packages are available on
a user's system. That being said, currently, the only thing with access to
SDL_AudioStream is an SDL audio device's thread, and it might be mostly idle
otherwise, so maybe this is generally good.
Turns out that iterating from 0 to channels-1 was a serious performance hit!
These cases now tend to match or beat the original audio resampler's speed!
