The release included a significant number of features for working with game controllers and joysticks, new platform-dependent hints, and some high-level requests.
The HIDAPI driver now supports PS5 DualSense and Xbox Series X controllers; new constants for buttons have been added. The value of SDL_HINT_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS is now false by default, improving compatibility with modern window managers. Functions for working with SIMD, localizations, and case-insensitive comparison of wchar strings have been added, along with clearer RGB pixel format names.
A RAWINPUT driver has been added for Windows, supporting more than 4 Xbox controllers simultaneously, along with related constants.
Functions for working with Metal have been added for macOS.
New hints for PulseAudio and thread scheduling have been added for Linux.
On Android, you can now request a specific resolution from the system and define audio behavior when the application is minimized.
Unexpectedly, support for OS/2 was restored in SDL2 2.0.14.
