The Dualshock 3's motion sensors don't seem to be reported by the call to EVIOCGBIT but they still send EV_ABS events. Because they're not reported by EVIOCGBIT they're not assigned a proper axis ids and the default of 0 is used, which is the valid id for the left analog sticks left/right axis.
If you enable this, you'll need to link with CoreBluetooth.framework and add something like this to your Info.plist:
<key>NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription</key>
<string>MyApp would like to remain connected to nearby bluetooth Game Controllers and Game Pads even when you're not using the app.</string>

Xcode warns about
"Traditional headermap style is no longer supported; please migrate to using separate headermaps and set 'ALWAYS_SEARCH_USER_PATHS' to NO."
Just doing the latter is enough to silence the warning without ill effects on compiling. This affects the macOS Xcode projects as well as the iOS projects. Definitely not a bug but an annoying warning that could go away.

Compiling even a simple SDL2 'hello world' program with gcc -Wstrict-prototypes (GCC 6.2.1) results in warnings like:
/usr/include/SDL2/SDL_gamecontroller.h:143:1: attention : function declaration isn't a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes]
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_GameControllerNumMappings();
^~~~~~
It seems there is a missing 'void' between the parentheses.
Note that linking with AVFoundation is now required if you don't disable SDL_audio compilation on iOS and tvOS.

The Apple TV remote is currently exposed as a joystick with its touch surface treated as two axes. Key presses are also generated when its buttons and touch surface are used.
A new hint has been added to help deal with deciding whether to background the app when the remote's menu button is pressed: SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_CONTROLLER_UI_EVENTS.
Both the extension (OES) and the core versions work, but the core versions are more correct for GLES2+ and they're less verbose.

Now that SDL on iOS requires CoreMotion to be linked, some of the Xcode projects included with the SDL source (such as the iOS tests and the iOS app template) as well as the premake and automake scripts need to be updated.
I've attached a patch which does so. It also fixes the SDL Xcode project to build for 64-bit ARM as well as armv7 by default (or whatever the default ARM targets are for the Xcode version used), which is what the iOS app template expects.
The functions to show/hide/toggle the on-screen keyboard have been folded into the text input state.
Calling SDL_StartTextInput() will automatically show the on-screen keyboard if it's available.
Calling SDL_StopTextInput() will automatically hide the on-screen keyboard if it's available.
There is a new API function SDL_IsTextInputActive() which will return whether text input is currently active.
Text input is disabled by default, you must call SDL_StartTextInput() when you are ready to accept text input.
SDL_HasScreenKeyboardSupport() no longer needs to be passed a window.
The iPhone-specific on-screen keyboard functions have been removed.
