Fixed bug 3299 - DirectInput: Incorrect joystick mapping when attaching new joysticks
Jimb Esser
Note: This is using DirectInput, I have to disable XInput as that causes all but the first 4 controllers to be completely ignored by SDL (I can find no way to reconcile XInput devices with DirectInput devices, otherwise I would make a patch that accepts the fifth and later controllers with DirectInput...). XInput does not seem to have the problem below, only DirectInput.
I plug in 3 identical wireless Xbox 360 controllers, call them J1, J2, J3. Direct Input shows them as having GUIDs G1, G2, G3. I unplug J1, then J2 and J3 show up as having GUIDs G1 and G2! Not so "unique"... I start my SDL app when just J2 and J3 are plugged in, and open J2 and J3. Then I plug in a new controller, SDL sees that now G3 exists, assigns that a new SDL joystick instance ID, which I request to be opened, but G3 at this point is J3, which I already had opened! So I end up with two instances of J3 opened, and none of J1. "Re-"opening G1 would get the actual handle to the newly attached controller, but there's no current way to know this. This is clearly a bug or poor design in DirectInput or my wireless receiver drivers, but is a showstopping bug for my 8-20 player games (as soon as any one controller runs out of battery or goes to sleep and gets turned back on, suddenly things are busted requiring a restart (or, at least, a reinitialization of all controllers - the game can't go on)).
The solution I found is to use HID paths instead of GUIDs to uniquely identify joysticks. GUIDs are still needed to open a controller, however I have added code to re-find the GUIDs for all joysticks whenever a new joystick is attached or removed. This does now require opening of all joysticks (instead of just enumerating them), though if your app, like mine, is opening all of them anyway so that any can press a button to join, that doesn't change much (although perhaps they joysticks should be kept open in this case, instead of closed and re-opened). If your app only ever opens one joystick, this will do more work at startup than it did previously.

Fixed crash if initialization of EGL failed but was tried again later.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().

Windows: Always set the system timer resolution to 1ms by default.
An existing hint lets apps that don't need the timer resolution changed avoid
this, to save battery, etc, but this fixes several problems in timing, audio
callbacks not firing fast enough, etc.
Fixes Bugzilla #2944.

the last parameter of XChangeProperty is the number of elements.. and when the element format is 32.. the element is "long" so we have 5 long elements here.
Yes this seems confusing as on mac+linux Long is either 32 or 64bits depending on the architecture, but this is how the X11 protocol is defined. Thus 5 is the correct value for the nelts here. Not 5 or 10 depending on the architecture.
More info on the confusion https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16802

Fixed bug 2802 - [patch] Fix android build compiling in wrong filesystem implementation
Jonas Kulla
The configure script didn't differentiate between Linux and Android, unconditionally compiling in the unix implementation of SDL_sysfilesystem.c.
I'm probably one of the very few people building SDL for android using classic configure + standalone toolchain, so this has gone undetected all along.

WinRT: fixed bug whereby SDL would override an app's default orientation
WinRT apps can set a default, preferred orientation via a .appxmanifest file.
SDL was overriding this on app startup, and making the app use all possible
orientations (landscape and portrait).
Thanks to Eric Wing for the heads up on this!

[X11] Reconcile logical keyboard state with physical state on FocusIn
since the window system doesn't do it for us like other platforms.
This prevents sticky keys and missed keys when going in and out
of focus, for example Alt would appear to stick if switching away
from an SDL app with Alt-Tab and had to be pressed again.
