This requires at least Xcode 4.5 and the iOS 6 SDK to build, but it doesn't change the minimum supported runtime version (iOS 5.1). Less than 2% of iOS users are running iOS 5, so I hope developers aren't trying to build SDL using an SDK which doesn't support iOS 6/7...
Previously, SDL would always expose display modes and window dimensions in terms of pixels, and would add an extra 'fake' display mode on retina screens which would contain the non-retina resolution. Calling SDL_CreateWindow with the dimensions of that fake display mode would not work.
Now, SDL only exposes display modes and window dimensions in terms of points rather than pixels. If the SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI flag is passed into SDL_CreateWindow, then any OpenGL contexts created from that window will be sized in pixels rather than points (retrievable with SDL_GL_GetDrawableSize.) Window dimensions and mouse coordinates are still in terms of points rather than pixels even with that flag.
This matches the behavior of SDL in OS X more closely, and lets users choose whether to make use of retina displays and lets them handle it properly.

Basically this bug is probably not a common use case. My goal is to allow rendering totally without a window, for example to a screenshot and I need to rely on SDL_SetRenderTarget to properly work for a purely software renderer created by SDL_CreateSoftwareRenderer.

When generating a signed app with SDL 2.0.3 an issue comes up, watching at the Error Log points out that the issue lies in the src/main/android/SDL_android_main.c where the process name is defined as "SDL_app", this name turns into an erroneous name so it should be changed to "app_process"

When using SDL_RenderCopyEx, I get a problem on some platforms where the output is offset by +/-1 on other platforms and not on others. I tried it with a center of both 0,0 (and offsetting by width/height) and NULL (for centered).
The rotation involved is 90, and/or -90 rotation. The rotation was a constant, no arithmetic was involved when inputting it into SDL_RenderCopyEx.
This occurred with 32x32, 24x24, and 16x16 texture sizes. I apologize that I don't have more precise information, as I received the information as a bug report myself. But I have tracked the problem down to here.
My program requires pixel perfect alignment on several different platforms, so this is something of a showstopper for me.

It appears the RenderCopyEx is done as expected,
this is the red rectangle which is not correctly positionned !
So, here's patch with a 0.5 float increment, like for opengles2, for DrawLines, and also Draw Points.

Since changeset 358696c354a8, SDL 2.0 has been broken on Solaris when compiling with the Solaris Studio compiler (which uses the pthread implementation of SDL_AtomicLock).
Notably, it gets stuck at the MemoryBarrierRelease in SDL_GetErrBuf:
6585 # 218
6586 if (!tls_errbuf && !tls_being_created) {
6587 SDL_AtomicLock_REAL ( & tls_lock );
6588 if (!tls_errbuf) {
6589 SDL_TLSID slot;
6590 tls_being_created = SDL_TRUE;
6591 slot = SDL_TLSCreate_REAL ( );
6592 tls_being_created = SDL_FALSE;
6593 { SDL_SpinLock _tmp = 0 ; SDL_AtomicLock_REAL ( & _tmp ) ; SDL_AtomicUnlock_REAL ( & _tmp ) ; };
^^^ loops forever above
6594 tls_errbuf = slot;
6595 }
6596 SDL_AtomicUnlock_REAL ( & tls_lock );
6597 }

As far as I can tell, this is because pthread_spin_trylock() always returns EBUSY for this particular lock; since it works in other places, I'm suspicious.
Different Solaris Studio compiler versions seem to make no difference.
I've verified this is broken on Linux as well if SDL_spinlock.c is modified to use the pthread implementation.
This appears to be because pthread_spin_init() and pthread_spin_destroy() are not used with the locks as required.

surface->map should be invalidated in SDL_SetSurfacePalette(), otherwise the palette would not be effective when blitting to another non-8bit surface which we previously blitted to.

Some minor changes to the Mac-specific backend code:
- Fixed up some code style issues (mostly brace style inconsistencies).
- Fixed a compiler warning in SDL_cocoaevents.m.
- Removed some useless code now that the 10.7 SDK is required to build SDL.
- Removed Gestalt(gestaltSystemVersion, ...) call and switched to NSAppKitVersionNumber for version checking code. Using Gestalt with gestaltSystemVersion will give 0x1090 in Mac OS 10.10+, and the whole Gestalt function was deprecated in Mac OS 10.8.

Now that SDL on iOS requires CoreMotion to be linked, some of the Xcode projects included with the SDL source (such as the iOS tests and the iOS app template) as well as the premake and automake scripts need to be updated.
I've attached a patch which does so. It also fixes the SDL Xcode project to build for 64-bit ARM as well as armv7 by default (or whatever the default ARM targets are for the Xcode version used), which is what the iOS app template expects.

Since this commit https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/59b543340d63 , calling SDL_DestroyWindow will crash the program if the window has an active OpenGL context.
This is because the Cocoa_DestroyWindow code sets the window's driverdata to NULL and then calls [context setWindow:NULL], which tries to access the window's driverdata, resulting in a null pointer dereference.
I have attached a patch which fixes the issue by moving the line which sets the driverdata to NULL to after the lines which call functions that use the driverdata pointer.
