The dynamic library (extracted from SDL2-2.0.3.dmg and put in /Library/Frameworks/) references the __Block_copy symbol in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib, which cannot be found:
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/SDL2, 6): Symbol not found: __Block_copy
Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/SDL2
Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
From what I could gather __Block_copy seems to be related to the blocks extension to the C programming language introduced by Apple since OSX-10.6 (see: http://thirdcog.eu/pwcblocks/). If this is indeed the case, I don't think the SDL2-2.0.3.dmg on the website is at all compatible with OSX-10.5 countrary to what is announced.

When I double click on a window, the "clicks" field (newly added since 2.0.2) in SDL_MouseButtonEvent is 1 instead of 2.
However, when I "tripple" click, "clicks" field is then 2.
I'v look into the source code in SDL_windowsevents.c and found that when a double click event comes, WIN_WindowProc will get a WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK msg. The message sequence of a double click is:WM_LBUTTONDOWN->WM_LBUTTONUP->WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK->WM_LBUTTONUP.

Using any SDL application with the Wayland backend under Weston, if the application sets a cursor with SDL_SetCursor, the cursor will work until the mouse pointer leaves the window. When the pointer re-enters the window, there will be no cursor displayed at all.
I did some digging, and the reason for this is that SDL attaches the buffer to the cursor surface only once (during cursor creation) and assumes that it will stay attached. This is not how Wayland works, though - once the compositor is done rendering the buffer, it will release it, so it is no longer attached to the surface. When the cursor re-enters the window a second time, SDL sets the cursor to the same surface with no buffer attached, so no cursor is displayed.
This is fixed by the attached patch, which makes SDL attach the buffer to the surface when the cursor is set, not when it is created.

Wayland_CreateSystemCursor tries to load a cursor named "wait" for two of the system cursor categories. This causes a segmentation fault when one of these cursors is used, because "wait" is not an actual cursor name in X11/Wayland cursor themes.
I can't attach my patch since I'm on a mobile right now, but I can confirm that simply replacing "wait" with "watch" for both of its uses in Wayland_CreateSystemCursor (in SDL_waylandmouse.c) fixes the bug.

RHEL6 and CentOS6 systems still use an old version of udev (147). It wasn't until udev 148 (Yep. 1 version off!) that the input class system changed from "ID_CLASS" to "ID_INPUT_{JOYSTICK,KEYBOARD,MOUSE,etc}" (http://lwn.net/Articles/364728/). Because SDL2 looks for the ID_INPUT_X field this means that it never detects any input devices on RHEL6 systems.
I've attached a patch which fixes the problem. If no input devices are detected with "ID_INPUT_X" then SDL will fallback to looking for the old style "ID_CLASS" udev field instead.
Because of the "big change" between udev versions I doubt it'll ever get upgraded on RHEL6, but because RHEL7 is on the way I don't know if this patch is worth merging. Hopefully it'll help anyone out that's having this problem though.

Someone provided a patch for this, recently on the mailing list :

Hi,
it is possible to skip the bug in libX11 by using the defaults for
XNResourceName and XNResourceClass in `XCreateIC' (the table for the
"Input Context Values" [1] in libX11-doc shows that a default is
provided if it is not set).

While enabling $1 gesture support in the Urho3D engine which uses SDL2 I detected some errors in the gesture code in SDL_gesture.c:
- In the function SDL_SaveAllDollarTemplates() the following line should use index variable j instead of i:
rtrn += SaveTemplate(&touch->dollarTemplate[i], dst);
- In the function SDL_SaveDollarTemplate() the following code should use index variable j instead of i:
if (touch->dollarTemplate[i].hash == gestureId) {
return SaveTemplate(&touch->dollarTemplate[i], dst);
- In the function SDL_SendGestureDollar() the x & y coordinates are being written to the mgesture structure, which results in garbage due to dgesture and mgesture being different data structures inside the union. The coordinates should be written to dgesture.x & dgesture.y respectively
Changes included:
- adding support for a few, additional, VirtualKey constants
- removing accesses to 'windows_scancode_table', as the table's contents
don't line up with WinRT virtual keys. Using Windows older VK_* constants
may, however, be a good alternative in a future update.
All WinRT builds of SDL will now output, "SDL2.dll". Previously, the Windows
8.x/RT builds would output, "SDL.dll", and Windows Phone 8 builds would output,
"SDL_WinPhone.dll". The change to "SDL2.dll" puts WinRT dll naming in-line with
that seen on Win32.
SDL/WinRT's MSVC project files will now appear as either "SDL2-WinRT" or
"SDL2-WinPhone", when displaying in MSVC.
This set of changes should not break any older WinRT or Windows Phone 8 app
builds that rely on MSVC's Project-to-Project reference system to build SDL2 for
the correct platform(s), and to install SDL2 dll files into the apps' output
packages. App builds that reference SDL dll files directly should, however,
now reference "SDL2.dll".
It seems like a net improvement in all the scenarios Sam and I could
think of, and looking at hg history it was added for fullscreen
window management specifically. Much of that code has changed since
then, but maybe it needs to stay there for that and simply be moved
to a fullscreen condition check.
It would solve this issue:
https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2439
As well as cases where on SteamOS, we hide/show specific Steam
overlay windows while expecting them to stay in the background, since
changing the window stacking order really angers the NVIDIA driver.
CR: Sam.
(Most of its complaints here are that these ints can be negative, although
they wouldn't been in sane cases. Checking sanity is what assertions do, and
it placates the analyzer appropriately.)
These scenarios can happen when a GPU is switched, its driver updated, or in
some virtual machines (such as Parallels) are suspended and then resumed. In
these cases, all GPU resources will already be lost, and it's up to the app to
recover.
For now, SDL's D3D11 renderer will handle this by freeing all GPU resources,
including all textures, and then sending a SDL_RENDER_TARGETS_RESET event.
It's currently up to an app to intercept this event, destroy all of its
textures, then recreate them from scratch.
SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_LOST is now sent when an app's native window is hidden.
Likewise, SDL_WINDOWEVENT_FOCUS_GAINED is sent when an app's window is shown.
This mimicks behavior seen on iOS and Android.
SDL_WINDOWEVENT_MINIMIZED and SDL_WINDOWEVENT_RESTORED are now sent when the
app's native window is hidden and shown. Previously, these were sent when an
app was suspended and resumed. On Windows 8.x/RT, an app may be sent to the
background without being suspended, which previously meant that
SDL_WINDOWEVENT_MINIMIZED might never have been sent. (On Windows Phone 8,
however, this seems to be different, whereby apps sent to the background appear
to always get suspended.)
