All:
Audio rate conversion is only implemented by multiplying or dividing
by a power of two. This is a side-effect of the requirement that the
raw audio buffer size be a power of two, and can hopefully be fixed.
This means 8 KHz audio converted to 22 KHz ends up being 16 KHz. :-/
When the implementation is writing directly to video memory the mouse
cursor doesn't work properly. Applications which do this should use
their own mouse cursor and call SDL_ShowCursor(0) to hide the system
cursor.
Linux:
Wide UNICODE character input (Kanji, etc.) is not yet supported.
It requires handling of keyboard mapping events and using the XIM
input translation extension. I will implement it as requested.
Latin-1 keyboard input works fine.

The AAlib, GGI, and SVGAlib video drivers are not heavily tested.
Win32:
The MCI driver can't tell if the CD-ROM drive is paused or stopped.
The SDL_INIT_EVENTTHREAD flag is not supported on Win32
(Idea: create a separate DirectInput polling thread)
The main purpose of this flag is for smooth cursor motion in
fullscreen environments.
Wide UNICODE character input (Kanji, etc.) is not yet supported.
This requires the ToUnicode() API which is only implemented on
Windows NT/2000, not on Windows 95/98.
Latin-1 keyboard input works fine.
Joysticks are only supported under the Win32 MultiMedia API,
DirectInput support is not yet implemented.
BeOS:
BePPC is not supported, apparently not even by Be Inc.
SDL_WM_GrabInput() is not implemented.
Does anyone know how to do this? SDL_WM_GrabInput() is designed
to prevent the user from switching input and mouse focus away from
the SDL application.
Continuous relative mouse motion is not implemented.
Wide UNICODE character input (Kanji, etc.) has not been tested.
Latin-1 keyboard input works fine.
MacOS:
Palette handling isn't implemented in windowed mode yet.
Audio hasn't been extensively tested, in particular the locking
isn't implemented and mixer routines may not call malloc() or free()
because they are called at interrupt time.
SDL_WM_GrabInput() is not implemented.
Does anyone know how to do this? SDL_WM_GrabInput() is designed
to prevent the user from switching input and mouse focus away from
the SDL application.
Continuous relative mouse motion is not implemented.
SDL_AddTimer() and SDL_RemoveTimer() haven't been implemented yet.
Not all of the keys are properly recognized on the keyboard.

Fullscreen drawing has some artifacts.
Fullscreen OpenGL for the software renderer is broken.
Some OpenGL parameters are not accounted for, for example color bits customization.
Continuous mouse motion perhaps is not as smooth as it should be.
SDL_WM_GrabInput() is implemented, but it "freezes" the hardware
cursor in the center of the window/screen. Also, mouse moved events
are not generated, and the keyboard cannot be grabbed.
90
Mac OS X seems to have a broken pthread_cancel() implementation.
91
92
Actually, it just only has one cancellation point defined.

FreeBSD:
pthread_cancel() isn't supported by FreeBSD 3.X, so threads don't
work on versions of FreeBSD earlier than 4.0.
The CD-ROM handling doesn't work completely.
Wide UNICODE character input (Kanji, etc.) is not yet supported.
It requires handling of keyboard mapping events and using the XIM
input translation extension. I will implement it as requested.

EPOC:
Only Crystal version of Epoc/SymbianOS is currently supported.
SDL is implemented in static library only. SDL uses static/global
variables and that is not allowed in EPOC dll libraries.
Sound is not yet supported.
Joystick, OpenGL and cdrom is not supported (think about cdrom in a cell phone:-).
No console output screen. Printing to stdout do not have any effect.
