The backing scale factor can change when the window moves between retina and non-retina displays.
The only other way to detect such a change is to compare the output of SDL_GL_GetDrawableSize or SDL_GetRendererOutputSize every frame, which is less than desirable, especially since the necessary app logic is likely already being executed when a window resize event is received.
This lets SDL-based apps respond to "Open With" commands properly, as they
can now obtain the requested path via a standard SDL dropfile event.
This is only checked on startup, so apps don't get drop events at any other
time, even if Android supports that, but this is still a definite
improvement.
Fixes Bugzilla #2762.
This apparently has fallout: the PS4 (and maybe PS3?) controllers apparently
report some bogus axes, but it won't change the axes we currently expect, and
thus the game controller config string is still stable.
Fixes Bugzilla #2719.
Since all device detection/removal happens on the main thread now, post events inline with when the status changes occur.
Also fixed rare cases when joystick API functions could return data about removed joysticks when called with a device index.

The optimization from Bug 11 added a code branch on cases where the source RGB masks match the destination RGB masks and a optimized blit function Blit4to4MaskAlpha that always overrides the source alpha info would be chosen. Unfortunately, the branch also errorneously took over the RGBA<->RGBA blitting cases where the source alpha info should be copied, while they would instead get overriden in Blit4to4MaskAlpha.
The attached patch fixes that by handling the RGBA<->RGBA cases correctly in that branch with the original BlitNtoNCopyAlpha as well as uses an optimized Blit4to4CopyAlpha along the same vein.
SDL2 reports the following message when we type the "/" on br-abnt2 keyboards:
The key you just pressed is not recognized by SDL. \
To help get this fixed, please report this to the SDL mailing list \
<sdl@libsdl.org> X11 KeyCode 97 (89), X11 KeySym 0x2F (slash).
That's because the corresponding entry in the scancodes table is
marked with value SDL_SCANCODE_UNKNOWN.
This commit fixes that adding the value SDL_SCANCODE_SLASH for this entry.
- Removed USE_GETTICKCOUNT code; it's never used now.
- Reduced the number of preprocessor checks for WinRT.
- Renamed timeSetPeriod() so it doesn't look like a Win32 API call.
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.
