These events accidentally slipping in sometimes appears to be a bug (or
maybe new behavior) in 10.10, as previous versions of Mac OS X don't appear
to ever trigger this.
Thanks to Paulo Marques for pointing out the fix on the SDL mailing list!
Fixes Bugzilla #2842 (again).

The change to the keymap to use SDL_SCANCODE_TO_KEYCODE in SDL_x11keyboard.c causes all SDL scancodes without a Usc4 character to be XOR'd with SDLK_SCANCODE_MASK, but not all key code are suppose to be (as seen in include/SDL_keycodes.h). SDLK_BACKSPACE is not 0x4000002A.
I think the full list of keys affected are return, escape, backspace, tab, and delete.

The "Unknown touch device" message appears because the initial touch device setup loop uses SDL_GetTouch() as a guard for calling SDL_AddTouch(). SDL_GetTouch() will always report "Unknown touch device" since the device hasn't been added yet. The SDL_GetTouch() call is unnecessary since SDL_AddTouch() calls SDL_GetTouchIndex() to verify that the device hasn't been added yet, and SDL_GetTouchIndex() has the benefit of not reporting an error for a device it can't find.

If a user has a non-standard keyboard mapping -- say, their caps lock key has been mapped to Ctrl -- then SDL_GetModState() is no longer accurate: it only considers the unmapped keys. This is a regression from SDL 1.2.
I think there are two parts to this bug: first, GetModState should use keycodes, rather than scancodes, which is easy enough.
Unfortunately, on my system, SDL considers Caps Lock, even when mapped as Control, to be both SDL_SCANCODE_CAPSLOCK and SDLK_CAPSLOCK. The output from checkkeys for it is:
INFO: Key pressed : scancode 57 = CapsLock, keycode 0x40000039 = CapsLock modifiers: CAPS
Whereas the output for xev is:
KeyPress event, serial 41, synthetic NO, window 0x4a00001,
root 0x9a, subw 0x0, time 40218333, (144,177), root:(1458,222),
state 0x10, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 37
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
I think the problem is that X11_UpdateKeymap in SDL_x11keyboard.c only builds a mapping for keycodes associated with a Unicode character (anything where X11_KeyCodeToUcs returns a value). In the case of caps lock, SDL scancode 57 becomes x11 keycode 66, which becomes x11 keysym 65507(Control_L), which does not have a unicode value.
To fix this, I suspect that SDL needs a mapping of the rest of the x11 keysyms to their corresponding SDL key codes.

Overview:
Initializing the Video Subsystem causes many errors though everything works as it should.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Set Loglevel to SDL_LOG_PRIORITY_ERROR
2) Initialize the Video Subsystem (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO))
Actual Results:
Many errors (see attachment) are printed on stderr, then the application continues as expected.
Expected Results:
The errors should have been warnings at most.

I have two windows where one has a renderer where the logical size has been changed with SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize. When I get SDL_MOUSEMOTION events belonging to the non-scaled window these will have been scaled with the factor of the scaled window, which is not expected.
Adding some printf debugging to SDL_RendererEventWatch of SDL_render.c, where (event->type == SDL_MOUSEMOTION), I found that for every mouse motion SDL_RendererEventWatch is called twice and the event->motion.x and event.motion.y are set twice for the event, once for each renderer where only the last one set will be saved to the event struct. This will work fine if both renderers have the same scale, but otherwise the motion coordinates will be scaled for the renderer belonging to another window than the mouse was moved in.
I guess one solution would be to check that window == renderer->window for SDL_MOUSEMOTION events, similar to what is done for when SDL_WINDOWEVENT events.
I get the same error on both X11 and Windows.
The same problem also exists for SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN and SDL_MOUSEBUTTONUP events.
Apparently you might get strange paths from GetModuleFileName(), such as
short path names or UNC filenames, so this avoids that problem. Since you have
to tapdance with linking different libraries and defining macros depending on
what Windows you plan to target, we dynamically load the API we need, which
works on all versions of Windows (on Win7, it'll load a compatibility wrapper
for the newer API location).
What a mess.
This also now does the right thing if there isn't enough space to store the
path, looping with a larger allocated buffer each try.
Fixes Bugzilla #2435.

Currently the keymapnotify event handling is commented out as FIXME in SDL_x11events.c (It looks like this may have functioned SDL1.2).
Not handling this event means that if a window manager shortcut such as ALT+SPACE is used, SDL will send an ALT key down signal, but not an up signal. Also querying SDL about the key state, it believes the ALT key remains pressed.
X passes the events keypress (alt), ?focusout?, ?focusin?, keymapnotify.
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.

Notably: it sets the error string to inform you that your custom SDL is built
without xrandr support, which apparently has been a support issue for
Unreal Engine 4 developers.
This is often useful for SDL apps that aren't meant to be games: the
integrated GPU starts up faster, uses less power, and is often more than
fast enough.
Note that even with this change, the app will still default to the more
powerful, discrete GPU if one is available; an app that prefers the integrated
GPU will still need the NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching key properly
set in its Info.plist and Mac OS X 10.7 or later.

According to https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/2kzt1wy3%28v=vs.120%29.aspx when one is using /MT for msvc compilations the libcmt.lib is already linked to the binary. This lib includes the symbol that is now guarded (see attached patch) by the #ifndef _MT.
