I recently looked into Unicode support in SDL2 and realized that
SDL_TEXTEDITING doesn't get triggered at all (Japanese IME).
According to others on IRC it works fine on Windows/Mac but not
for me on (arch)Linux.
When compiling SDL with autotools, IBus support is enabled by
default but not so with CMake.
I never used CMake before but got it working and also included
that pkg-config determines flags for dbus (FIXME in CMakeLists).

The description of the SDL_RenderClear function in the SDL_render.h header says the following:
"This function clears the entire rendering target, ignoring the viewport."
The word "entire" implies that the clipping rectangle set with SDL_RenderSetClipRect also gets ignored. This is left somewhat ambiguous if only the viewport is mentioned. Minor thing, but let's see what the implementations actually do.
The software renderer ignores the clipping rectangle when clearing. It even has a comment on this: /* By definition the clear ignores the clip rect */
Most other render drivers (opengl, opengles, opengles2, direct3d, and psp [I assume. Can't test it.]) use the scissor test for the ClipRect and don't disable it when clearing. Clearing will only happen within the clipping rectangle for these drivers.
An exception is direct3d11 which uses a clear function that ignores the scissor test.

The current SDL_SaveBMP_RW function that saves surfaces to a BMP uses an old bitmap header which doesn't officially support alpha channels. Applications just ignore the byte where the alpha is stored. This can easily be extended by using a newer header version and setting the alpha mask.
The attached patch has these changes:
- Extending the description of the function in the SDL_surface.h header with the supported formats.
- Refining when surfaces get stored to a 32-bit BMP. (Must have bit depth of 8 or higher and must have an alpha mask or colorkey.)
- Fixing a small bug that saves 24-bit BGR surfaces with a colorkey in a 24-bit BMP.
- Adding code that switches to the bitmap header version 4 if the surface has an alpha mask or colorkey. (I chose version 4 because Microsoft didn't lose its documentation behind a file cabinet like they did with version 3.)
- Adding a hint that can disable the use of the version 4 header. This is for people that need the legacy header or like the old behavior better. (I'm not sure about the hint name, though. May need changing if there are any rules to that.)

There are already patches available from mingw64 that fix the issue
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-SDL2
With those applied, I could compile SDL2 without problems. But of course, it would be preferable if SDL built cleanly from source.
The Apple TV remote is currently exposed as a joystick with its touch surface treated as two axes. Key presses are also generated when its buttons and touch surface are used.
A new hint has been added to help deal with deciding whether to background the app when the remote's menu button is pressed: SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_CONTROLLER_UI_EVENTS.
This is for corner cases where a multi-window app is activated and wants to
make a decision about where focus should go.

When using API 21 and running on an old device (android < 5.0 ?) some function are missing.
functions are (at least) : signal, sigemptyset, atof, stpcpy (strcat and strcpy), srand, rand.
Very few modifications on SDL to get this working :
on SDL
======
Undefine android configuration :
HAVE_SIGNAL
HAVE_SIGACTION
HAVE_ATOF
In "SDL_systrhead.c", comment out the few block of lines with "sigemptyset".
Android.mk:
remove the compilation of "test" directory because it contains a few rand/srand calls
Also, there are more discussions about this in internet :

This was the only thing that made SDL_config.h generate differently between
32 and 64-bit versions of Linux, so instead we force a function cast in our
X11 code to match our dynamic loader version, which removes the compile error
on some machines that prompted this test in the first place.
Xlib never wrote to this data, so if you're on an older Xlib where this param
wasn't const, your data should still be intact when we force the caller to
think it was actually const after all.
Fixes Bugzilla #1893.
Otherwise, SDL_PIXELFORMAT_BGR24 is reported as having alpha, because
its SDL_ARRAYORDER_BGR pixel order uses the same integer value as
SDL_PACKEDORDER_RGBA, since we weren't checking the pixel type to
differentiate.
Fixes Bugzilla #2977.
This lets windows know when they are dropping a mouse event because their
hit test reported something other than SDL_HITTEST_NORMAL. It lets them know
exactly where in the event queue this happened.

This is currently implemented for X11, Cocoa, Windows, and DirectFB.

This allows an app to know when a set of drops are coming in a grouping of
some sort (for example, a user selected multiple files and dropped them all
on the window with a single drag), and when that set is complete.
This also adds a window ID to the drop events, so the app can determine to
which window a given drop was delivered. For application-level drops (for
example, you launched an app by dropping a file on its icon), the window ID
will be zero.
Specifically: always on top, skip taskbar, tooltip, utility, and popup menu.
This is currently only implemented for X11.
