A future SDL release will change the borderless window to act more like a normal window that happens to have no chrome, to support windows that draw their own chrome. In the meantime, those applications should set the "SDL_BORDERLESS_WINDOWED_STYLE" hint.

As a new year gift I have implemented the Windows version of SDL_GetWindowBordersSize(). I needed it for auto-selecting a cozy window size for the game I'm currently working on and noticed that it only worked under X11, so I thought it could be a good excuse to contribute back more stuff. The Mercurial patch is attached as a .diff file. Let me know what you think.
Happy 2018 to all the SDL2 devs and users!

PS: Keep in mind that Windows 10 includes the 8px invisible grip borders as part of the frame. There's a way of detecting if Aero/DWM is being used and ask only for the visible rect, but I believe that GetWindowRect() is doing that for a reason and working as intended, so I haven't changed it. (See [2])

"GetVersionExA is deprecated in windows 8.1 and above's SDK, causing a warning
when building against the win10 SDK. Attached patch cleans up the usage for a
warning-free build.
GetVersionExA was being used to test to see if SDL was running on win9x or
winnt. A quick chat with Ryan on twitter suggested that SDL doesn't
officially support win9x anymore, so the call to this can be outright removed.
As an aside, replacing the call to GetVersionExA with VerifyVersionInfoA (the
recommended path) would have been pointless, as VerifyVersionInfoA only
supports VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT and doesn't officially support any other value
for dwPlatformId currently. (And it's probable that win9x SDKs didn't have
VerifyVersionInfo* in them anyway.)"
Fixes Bugzilla #4019.

I have a problem with the SDL_ShowCursor method on Raspberry.
Depending on the context, my application hides or show the mouse cursor with SDL_ShowCursor.
But when calling SDL_ShowCursor(true), the cursor is displayed at 0,0 (and not at last position).
After debugging sources by myself, it seems that the problem is in SDL_rpimouse.c - RPI_ShowCursor:
vc_dispmanx_rect_set( &dst_rect, 0, 0, curdata->w, curdata->h);
should be
vc_dispmanx_rect_set( &dst_rect, mouse->x, mouse->y, curdata->w, curdata->h);
For me, it solves the problem.

As discussed in 2012 the iOS onscreen keyboard hides when you hit RETURN (see https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/on-screen-keyboard-change/19216).
IMO this is a bad idea to not be able to influence this behavior and just recently this was fixed for Android by adding the hint SDL_HINT_ANDROID_RETURN_HIDES_IME in changeset 11768 6ce3bb5e38a5.

The attached minimal program sets the SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_MODE_WARP to 1, enables relative mouse mode then logs all SDL_MOUSEMOTION xrel values as they happen.
When moving the mouse exclusively to the right:
* On a Windows 10 installation before Fall Creators update (for instance, Version 10.0.15063 Build 15063), only positive values are reported, as expected
* On a Windows 10 installation after Fall Creators update (for instance, Version 10.0.16299 Update 16299), a mix of positive and negative values are reported.
3 different people have reproduced this bug and have confirmed it started to happen after the Fall Creators update was installed. It happens with SDL 2.0.7 as well as latest default branch as of today.
It seems like some obscure (maybe unintended) Windows behavior change? Haven't been able to pin it down more yet.

Broken GetCursorPos / SetCursorPos based games on Win 10 fall creators are not limited to SDL.. I just tested winquake.exe (original 1997 exe) and it now has "jumps" in the mouse input if you try to look around in a circle. It uses GetCursorPos/SetCursorPos by default. Switching WinQuake to use directinput (-dinput flag) seems to get rid of the jumps.
Daniel Gibson
A friend tested on Win10 1607 (which is before the Fall Creators Update) and the the bug doesn't occur there, so the regression that SetCursorPos() doesn't reliably generate mouse events was indeed introduced with that update.
I even reproduced it in a minimal WinAPI-only application (https://gist.github.com/DanielGibson/b5b033c67b9137f0280af9fc53352c68), the weird thing is that if you don't do anything each "frame" (i.e. the mainloop only polls the events and does nothing else), there are a lot of mouse events with the coordinates you passed to SetCursorPos(), but when sleeping for 10ms in each iteration of the mainloop, those events basically don't happen anymore. Which is bad, because in games the each iteration of the mainloop usually takes 16ms..
I have a patch now that I find acceptable.
It checks for the windows version with RtlGetVersion() (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff561910.aspx) and only if it's >= Win10 build 16299, enables the workaround.
All code is in video/windows/SDL_windowsevents.c
and the workaround is, that for each WM_MOUSEMOVE event, "if(isWin10FCUorNewer && mouseID != SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID && mouse->relative_mode_warp)", an addition mouse move event is generated with the coordinates of the center of the screen
(SDL_SendMouseMotion(data->window, mouseID, 0, center_x, center_y);) - which is exactly what would happen if windows generated those reliably itself.
This will cause SDL_PrivateSendMouseMotion() to set mouse->last_x = center_x; and mouse->last_y = center_y; so the next mouse relative mouse event will be calculated correctly.
If Microsoft ever fixes this bug, the IsWin10FCUorNewer() function would have to
be adjusted to also check for a maximum version, so the workaround is then disabled again.

Proposed patch loads eglCreatePbufferSurface in same manner as other 1.1 functors. This allows custom video drivers to create pbuffer surfaces.

This fixes a problem with KMSDRM on some graphics hardware where only bigger cursor sizes are supported, such as current Intel gfx. (The kernel-side driver is what limits this: had to look for failing IOCTLs...)
That caused SDL_SetCursor() to fail silently, and we were left with a missing cursor without further explanation.
With this patch, different "standard" sizes are tried and a bigger one is used (with an intermediate and clean buffer only used to write the new cursor to the BO where it will live after) if we get, let's say, 16x16 which is pretty common but our hardware does not support that.

SDL_AddDisplayMode returns an SDL_bool corresponding to whether or not the given display mode was added or not. It will return SDL_FALSE if a matching display mode already exists in the display's list of display modes, which causes ownership of the mode driverdata to remain with the caller. Some video drivers ignore the return value of SDL_AddDisplayMode, so leak the driverdata memory when SDL_AddDisplayMode returns SDL_FALSE.

Here is the bug in latest SDL 2.0.8 development repo. It is obvious and simple to fix by correcting typos on six lines of code.
In src/video/SDL_yuv.c on lines 217, 249, 280, 321, 353, and 384 the wrong conversion functions are called for SDL_PIXELFORMAT_ABGR8888 and SDL_PIXELFORMAT_BGR888. Instead of ABGR functions, BGRA functions are called. These are typos.
New functions get and set the YUV colorspace conversion mode:
SDL_SetYUVConversionMode()
SDL_GetYUVConversionMode()
SDL_GetYUVConversionModeForResolution()
SDL_ConvertPixels() converts between all supported RGB and YUV formats, with SSE acceleration for converting from planar YUV formats (YV12, NV12, etc) to common RGB/RGBA formats.
Added a new test program, testyuv, to verify correctness and speed of YUV conversion functionality.

Add support to be able to set EGL_SURFACE_TYPE bits when creating an EGL config. This is usefule when wanting to create pixel buffer surfaces in custom video drivers.
Changing the background color causes the titlebar to blend against it on
modern macOS releases, making all SDL windows look wrong by default. This was
set to make the window not flash white before a GL context is ready, but we
can accomplish this in our window's view's drawRect implementation, too.

I noticed that, at least on Intel GPU hardware, passing SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC would result on a static console instead of the program graphics.
That was due to the fact that calling drmModePageFlip() only works if we have previously set up CRTC to one of the GBM buffers with a drmModeSetCrtc() call, so now it's done and things work as expected.
The KMSDRM_GLES_SetupCrtc() call is done only one time, only when needed (when egl_swapinterval is not 0: when it's 0, there's no need for it because we flip by calling drmModePageFlip() anyway).
The place where KMSDRM_GLES_SetupCrtc() call is done may look strange, but it's right: it needs EGL completely ready because it needs to call eglSwapBuffers() internally to work (see more comments about it in the code).
