In addition to lots of bug fixes, here are the major changes in this release:

General:

- Updated OpenGL headers to the latest API from The Khronos Group Inc.
- Added SDL\_GetWindowSizeInPixels() to get the window size in pixels, which may differ from the window coordinate size for windows with high-DPI support
- Added simulated vsync synchronization for the software renderer
- Added the mouse position to SDL\_MouseWheelEvent
- Added SDL\_ResetHints() to reset all hints to their default values
- Added SDL\_GetJoystickGUIDInfo() to get device information encoded in a joystick GUID
- Added the hint SDL\_HINT\_JOYSTICK\_HIDAPI\_XBOX\_360 to control whether the HIDAPI driver for XBox 360 controllers should be used
- Added the hint SDL\_HINT\_JOYSTICK\_HIDAPI\_XBOX\_360\_PLAYER\_LED to control whether the player LEDs should be lit to indicate which player is associated with an Xbox 360 controller
- Added the hint SDL\_HINT\_JOYSTICK\_HIDAPI\_XBOX\_360\_WIRELESS to control whether the HIDAPI driver for XBox 360 wireless controllers should be used
- Added the hint SDL\_HINT\_JOYSTICK\_HIDAPI\_XBOX\_ONE to control whether the HIDAPI driver for XBox One controllers should be used
- Added the hint SDL\_HINT\_JOYSTICK\_HIDAPI\_XBOX\_ONE\_HOME\_LED to control the brightness of the XBox One guide button LED
- Added support for PS3 controllers to the HIDAPI driver, enabled by default on macOS, controlled by the SDL\_HINT\_JOYSTICK\_HIDAPI\_PS3 hint
- Added support for Nintendo Wii controllers to the HIDAPI driver, not enabled by default, controlled by the SDL\_HINT\_JOYSTICK\_HIDAPI\_WII hint
- Added the hint SDL\_HINT\_JOYSTICK\_HIDAPI\_WII\_PLAYER\_LED to control whether the player LED should be lit on the Nintendo Wii controllers
- Added the hint SDL\_HINT\_JOYSTICK\_HIDAPI\_VERTICAL\_JOY\_CONS to control whether Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers will be in vertical mode when using the HIDAPI driver
- Added access to the individual left and right gyro sensors of the combined Joy-Cons controller
- Added a microsecond timestamp to SDL\_SensorEvent and SDL\_ControllerSensorEvent, when the hardware provides that information
- Added SDL\_SensorGetDataWithTimestamp() and SDL\_GameControllerGetSensorDataWithTimestamp() to retrieve the last sensor data with the associated microsecond timestamp
- Added the hint SDL\_HINT\_HIDAPI\_IGNORE\_DEVICES to have the SDL HID API ignore specific devices
- SDL\_GetRevision() now includes more information about the SDL build, including the git commit hash if available

Windows:

- Added the hint SDL\_HINT\_MOUSE\_RELATIVE\_SYSTEM\_SCALE to control whether the system mouse acceleration curve is used for relative mouse motion
