Seems like a good enough place to ask, but is there any possibility of restoring force feedback effects for joysticks? It might be a bit of work to translate the haptic effects like sawtooth and sine down to plain rumble for gamepads, but if it means adapting a bunch of DirectInput code to SDL2, I could understand leaving it out.

Good idea, SDL2 apparently supports haptic devices, so it could be implemented again without too much trouble. I'd need hardware to test it though. Would you mind opening an issue in the tracker?
