Pressing the hardware back button on a Windows Phone 8 device will now cause SDL to emit a pair of key-down and key-up events, with the SDL scancode, SDL_SCANCODE_AC_BACK.
By default, if WinRT's native back-button-press events are not explicitly marked as 'handled', then Windows Phone will terminate the app. More details on Microsoft's reasoning behind this can be found on MSDN, at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj247550(v=vs.105).aspx
To mark back-button-press events as 'handled', set SDL_HINT_WINRT_HANDLE_BACK_BUTTON to 1. Setting it to anything else will cause these events to not be marked as 'handled'.
Due to limitations in Windows Phone's APIs, SDL will emit a virtual key-up event immediately after the back button's key-down event is registered. Unfortunately, Windows Phone 8 only allows one to register for back-button-press events, and not back-button-release events.
This change is only relevant for Windows 8, 8.1, and RT apps, and only for those that are network-enabled. Such apps must feature a link to a privacy policy, which must be displayed via the Windows Settings charm. This is needed to pass Windows Store app-certification.
Using SDL_SetHint, along with SDL_HINT_WINRT_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL and optionally SDL_HINT_WINRT_PRIVACY_POLICY_LABEL, will cause SDL/WinRT to create a link inside the Windows Settings charm, as invoked from within an SDL-based app.
Network-enabled Windows Phone apps do not need to set this hint, and should provide some sort of in-app means to display their privacy policy. Microsoft does not appear to provide an OS-integrated means for displaying such on Windows Phone.
SDL 2.x recently accepted patches to enable OpenGL ES 2 support via Google's ANGLE library. The thought is to try to eventually merge SDL/WinRT's OpenGL code with SDL-official's.
This bumps the build SDK level to 12 (up from 10). Runtime requirements remain
the same (at API level < 12 joystick support is disabled).
Also enables building SDL for armv7 and x86.
To enable the Debug Layer, set the hint, SDL_HINT_RENDER_DIRECT3D11_DEBUG to '1'.
The Debug Layer will be turned off by default, both in Release and Debug builds (of SDL).
Anisotropic filtering is meant to be used for textures at a stark
angle, not perpendicular to the camera.

This changes makes it so that you only receive joystick (and implicitly
gamecontroller) input events when your application has keyboard focus.
If you'd like to still receive events when your application is in the
background, set the SDL_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS hint to "1".
This fixes http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1892
- Added new SDL_HINT_ALLOW_TOPMOST hint, when set to "0" then never set the topmost bit on a window. Useful when debugging fullscreen issues.
- fixed crash in windows joystick scanning if we failed to load the xinput dll
- added support for SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP under windows
- synthesize relative mouse movements if directinput fails to send relative moves, happens under virtual box.
- Add new SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP video mode, makes a fullscreen window the size of the desktop (i.e no window manager mode change)
- Fix crash in warp mouse if you specified null as the window
- Added new SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS Hint, if set to 0 then don't minimize a fullscreen window on focus lost (if not set or set to non-zero then minimize on focus loss)
Because it's so broken, I'm going to disable XRandR by default. You can still enable it via environment variable or application hint (SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_XRANDR)

summary: improve header files compatibility with SDL 1.2 applications (namely QEMU)
