It causes the HIDAPI devices to always be opened on enumeration, which causes crashes in the Windows drivers when multiple applications are reading and writing at the same time. We can revisit this after 2.0.10 release.
The Nintendo USB GameCube Adapter has two USB connectors. Black for data
and grey for additional power for rumble. The Wii U and other software
require both cables to use rumble. The rumble is weaker without the
second USB cable. Other than that I don't know if there is any negative
side affects from using rumble with only one cable.

Patch to scan /dev/dri based on names rather than file type
Loading KMS/DRM on FreeBSD fails because the "available" code in the driver checks for character device nodes under /dev/dri and the /dev/dri/card* files are symlinks rather than device nodes nodes on FreeBSD. The symlink points to /dev/drm/0.
The attached patch counts /dev/dri/card* entries rather than directory entries which are character devices.

I think what happening with the software renderer is:
* you're somehow in background (so texture creation is not possible)
* it resizes and wants to push a SDL_WINDOWEVENT_SIZE_CHANGED
It call:
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/a010811d40dd/src/render/SDL_render.c#l683
* GetOutputSize
* SW_GetOutputSize
* SW_ActivateRenderer
* SDL_GetWindowSurface
* SDL_CreateWindowFramebuffer which is mapped to SDL_CreateWindowTexture
and it ends up re-creating the surface/a texture, while being in background

There is an issue on the latest commit of the mercurial repo when SDL_THREADS_DISABLED is set:
src/core/linux/SDL_threadprio.c:79:28: error: unknown type name 'Sint64'; did you mean 'int'
It was originally added to work around an input event problem in the code of a specific app which mixed SDL and native UIViews, but that app solved its problems in a better manner since then.
Also implemented SDL_JoystickGetDevicePlayerIndex() on iOS and tvOS, and added support for reading the new menu button state available in iOS and tvOS 13.
(technically, this function never returns an error at this point, but since
it _does_ have an "uhoh, is this corrupt data?" comment that it ignores, we
should probably make sure we handle error cases in the future. :) )

Pressing a trigger button on a Steam Controller causes a segmentation fault both with stable version and latest mercurial head on Linux. I'm using the recent hid_steam kernel module with lizard_mode disabled (that is no keyboard/mouse emulation). I suspect this is what's happening: the driver exposes two hats. The two hats have indices 0 and 2. Inside linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c two hats are allocated in allocate_hatdata for joystick->hwdata->hats. In HandleHat function the hat parameter (that can be 2) is directly used as the index of the array that only has two elements, causing an out of bounds access. SDL is not expecting to have "holes" between hats indices.
The index 2 is calculated in HandleInputEvents() as (ABS_HAT2X - ABS_HAT0X) / 2 where ABS_HAT2X is the value associated to the hat inside the hid_steam module.

The attached patch adds support for single-touch evdev devices.
These devices report ABS_X, ABS_Y and BTN_TOUCH events. This patch sets them up as MT devices with a single slot and handles the appropriate messages.
This was to deal with broken vsync support in macOS 10.14, which we assumed
would remain broken indefinitely, but a later 10.14 released fixed it.
This is a loss of late-swap support, but there are several subtle problems
in our CVDiplayLink code that are also evaporating, to be fair.
Fixes Bugzilla #4575.

Current code, search paths, and error messages are written to only consider MoltenVK on macOS as a Vulkan Portability implementation. It's not the only implementation available to the users. gfx-portability [1] has been shown to run a number of titles well, including Dota2, Dolphin Emulator, and vkQuake3, often out-performing MoltenVK in frame rate and stability (see Dolphin benchmark [2]).
There is no reason for SDL to be that specific, it's not using any MVK-specific functions other than the WSI initialization ("VK_MVK_macos_surface"). gfx-portability exposes this extension as well, and a more generic WSI extension is in process. It would be good if SDL was written in a more generic way that expect a Vulkan Portability library as opposed to MoltenVK specifically.

We build SDL with Visual studio 2017 compiler on Windows Server 2016, but it failed to build due to error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _memset referenced in function _IMA_ADPCM_Decode on latest default branch. And we found that it can be first reproduced on ca7283111ad0 changeset. Could you please help have a look about this issue? Thanks in advance!

On iOS 12, creating a window with the SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN flag does not dim the home indicator or defer system gestures. The same goes for setting the SDL_HINT_IOS_HIDE_HOME_INDICATOR to "2" -- it has no effect at all.
I've tracked down the source of this misbehavior to a timing issue. The initial `setNeedsUpdate...` calls were happening too early and getting applied to the launch screen by mistake. In the attached patch, I've added a call to those functions right after the launch screen is hidden so that they apply to the main view controller instead. This appears to fix the issue, at least on my iPhone 6s Plus.

Attached is a minor cleanup patch. It changes the option name of one hint to something better, puts one or two more checks in, and adds explicit casting where warnings could appear otherwise.
I hope the naming of the hints and their options is acceptable. It would be kind of awkward to change them after they get released with an official SDL version.

I had a look at this and made some additions to SDL_wave.c.
The attached patch adds many checks and error messages. For some reason I also added A-law and ?-law decoders. Forgot exactly why... but hey, they're small.
The WAVE format is seriously underspecified (at least by the documents that are publicly available on the internet) and it's a shame Microsoft never put something better out there. The language used in them is so loose at times, it's not surprising the encoders and decoders behave very differently. The Windows Media Player doesn't even support MS ADPCM correctly.
The patch also adds some hints to make the decoder more strict at the cost of compatibility with weird WAVE files.
I still think it needs a bit of cleaning up (Not happy with the MultiplySize function. Don't like the name and other SDL code may want to use something like this too.) and some duplicated code may be folded together. It does work in this state and I have thrown all kinds of WAVE files at it. The AFL files also pass with it and some even play (obviously just noise). Crafty little fuzzer.
Any critique would be welcome. I have a fork of SDL with a audio-loadwav branch over here if someone wants to use the commenting feature of Bitbucket:
https://bitbucket.org/ChliHug/SDL
I also cobbled some Lua scripts together to create WAVE test files:

On Android, if you set no attribute using SDL_GL_SetAttribute(), and try to create a SDL Render OpenGLES 1:
- it loads first by default GLESv2 libraries
- creates the rendere OpenGLES 1
- recreates the Window to have a context 1.1 ( https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/4db4cfd59470/src/render/opengles/SDL_render_gles.c#l298 )
But it doesn't unload libraries, then reload GLESv1 lib. So the SDL_Renderer OpenGLES 1 is working with GLES 2 libs, which seems inconsistent.
If you, at first, set
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK, SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_ES);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION, 1);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION, 1);
It will correctly load GLES v1 libraries.
Here's a small patch to reload egl libs when SDL_RecreateWindow() is called.
It fixes the issue, also the case from bug 4042
( SDL_RecreateWindow() is used by SDL_Renderer gl, gles1, gles2. )

There are many cases which are not able to be handled by SDL's audio conversion routines, including too low (negative) rate, too high rate (impossible to allocate).
This patch aims to report such issues early and handle others in a graceful manner. The "INT32_MAX / RESAMPLER_SAMPLES_PER_ZERO_CROSSING" value is the conservative approach in terms of what can _technically_ be supported, but its value is 4'194'303, or just shy of 4.2MHz. I highly doubt any sane person would use such rates, especially in SDL2, so I would like to drive this limit further down, but would need some assistance to do that, as doing so would have to introduce an arbitrary value. Are you OK with such approach? What would a good value be? Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution_audio) lists 96kHz as the highest sampling rate in use, even if I quadruple it for a good measure, to 384kHz it's still an order of magnitude lower than 4MHz.
If IMA ADPCM format chunk was too short, InitIMA_ADPCM() parsing it
could read past the end of chunk data. This patch fixes it.

I got this bug in SDL_ttf:
https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4524
Sylvain proposed solution:
SDL_RWseek(RWops, 0, RW_SEEK_SET);
And it works, but i can use it my project, because it written in C# with SDL2-CS wrapper and there not export for macroses:
#define SDL_RWsize(ctx) (ctx)->size(ctx)
#define SDL_RWseek(ctx, offset, whence) (ctx)->seek(ctx, offset, whence)
#define SDL_RWtell(ctx) (ctx)->seek(ctx, 0, RW_SEEK_CUR)
#define SDL_RWread(ctx, ptr, size, n) (ctx)->read(ctx, ptr, size, n)
#define SDL_RWwrite(ctx, ptr, size, n) (ctx)->write(ctx, ptr, size, n)
#define SDL_RWclose(ctx) (ctx)->close(ctx)
Therefore, I suggest replacing this macros with functions so that they can be exported and used in bindings

Noam Preil
In src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c:
The ConfigJoystick function's axes detection starts with a for loop using an index i for Linux's axes names. When i gets to ABS_HAT0X, it's set to ABS_HAT3Y and a continue statement appears, to skip the hats. This makes sense, as SDL handles hats separately from axes.
However, in PollAllValues, *two* indices are used: a and b. Both start out the same, and remain so until the hats are reached. At that point, a becomes identical to the i from ConfigJoystick's loop, but b is equal to a - (ABS_HAT3Y - ABS_HAT0X), or a - 8.
While all the joystick->hwdata->abs_* structures in ConfigJoystick used i - which would here be a - as both the index and the ioctl argument, PollAllValues uses b for the structure index and a as the ioctl argument.
It would appear, however, that no joystick HAS such axes, and that the b index is entirely unnecessary.
I tested three separate joysticks, and while that was far from a complete listing, I was unable to find a joystick with an axis above 0x08.

When using a Dualshock 4 controller (model numbers CUH-ZCT1U and CUH-ZCT2U), pressing anywhere on the center touchpad does not send an SDL_JOYBUTTONDOWN event. I have verified this with testjoystick:
Repro steps:
1. Plug in a DS4 over USB
2. Compile testjoystick and run: testjoystick.exe 0
3. Press and hold the touchpad. Observe that no lime green box appears
Expected behavior:
A lime green box appears while the touchpad is pressed.
Notes:
I've attached a patch here that works on my PC and produces the expected behavior in testjoystick, for both DS4 model numbers I listed earlier.
If I understand correctly, by exposing this as a joystick button, the gamecontroller API mapping can be modified with a change to gamecontrollerdb.txt in the future.

We've noticed that if you are playing audio on Windows via the WASAPI interface and you unplug and reconnect the device a few times the program hangs.
We've debugged the problem down to
static void
WASAPI_WaitDevice(_THIS)
{
... snip ...
if (WaitForSingleObjectEx(this->hidden->event, INFINITE, FALSE) == WAIT_OBJECT_0) {
... snip ...
}
This WaitForSingleObjectEx does not havbe a time out defined, so it hangs there forever.
Our suggested fix we found was to include a time out of say 200mSec
We have done quite a bit of testing with this fix in place on various hardware configurations and it seems to have resolved the issue.
The Nintendo USB GameCube adapter has four controller ports. Return
the port number as 0 to 3 from SDL_JoystickGetPlayerIndex() and
SDL_JoystickGetDevicePlayerIndex().

The NetBSD audio driver has a few problems. Lots of obsolete code, and extremely bad performance and stuttering.
I have a patch in NetBSD's package system to improve it. This is my attempt to upstream it.
The changes include:
* Removing references to defines which are never used.
* Using the correct structures for playback and recording, previously they were the wrong way around.
* Using the correct types ('struct audio_prinfo' in contrast to 'audio_prinfo')
* Removing the use of non-blocking I/O, as suggested in #3177.
* Removing workarounds for driver bugs on systems that don't exist or use this driver any more.
* Removing all usage of SDL_Delay(1)
* Removing pointless use of AUDIO_INITINFO and tests that expect AUDIO_SETINFO to fail when it can't.
These changes bring its performance in line with the DSP audio driver.

When num lock is on, the scancode reported for numpad 5 is SDL_SCANCODE_KP_5, which is correct. However, when num lock is off, windows reports the VK_CLEAR virtual key code, which is incorrectly translated into SDL_SCANCODE_CLEAR inside of the VKeytoScancode(WPARAM vkey) function.

The file src/core/linux/SDL_evdev.c uses the Linux specific types __u32 and __s32. This breaks things on FreeBSD when building with evdev.

I was trying to use SDL_GetQueuedAudioSize() to ensure my audio latency didn't get too high while streaming data in from the network. If I get more than N frames of audio queued, I know that the network is giving me more data than I can play and I need to drop some to keep latency low.
This doesn't work well on WASAPI out of the box, due to the addition of GetPendingBytes() to the amount of queued data. As a terrible hack, I loop 100 times calling SDL_Delay(10) and SDL_GetQueuedAudioSize() before I ever call SDL_QueueAudio() to get a "baseline" amount that I then subtract from SDL_GetQueuedAudioSize() later. However, because this value isn't actually a constant, this hack can cause SDL_GetQueuedAudioSize() - baselineSize to be < 0. This means I have no accurate way of determining how much data is actually queued in SDL's audio buffer queue.
The SDL_GetQueuedAudioSize() documentation says: "This is the number of bytes that have been queued for playback with SDL_QueueAudio(), but have not yet been sent to the hardware." Yet, SDL_GetQueuedAudioSize() returns > 0 value when SDL_QueueAudio() has never been called.
Based on that documentation, I believe the current behavior contradicts the documented behavior of this function and should be changed in line with Boris's patch.
I understand that exposing the IAudioClient::GetCurrentPadding() value is useful, but a solution there needs to take into account what of that data is silence inserted by SDL and what is actual data queued by the user with SDL_QueueAudio(). Until that happens, I think the best approach is to remove the GetPendingBytes() call until SDL is able to keep track of queued data to make sense of it. This would make SDL_GetQueuedAudioSize() possible to use accurately with WASAPI.
