From Debian libSDL maintainers, any plans for bugfix release?

True, but that struct is part of a union with padding to deal with this situation. Keeping just an SDL_MouseWheelEvent around would be weird (apps keep the wrapping SDL_Event union instead).

Yeah, 2.0.3 is a brown-paper-bag release for a build error in 2.0.2, while 2.0.4 is like 1,300 fixes over 1.5 years. :)

We have been very strict about binary compatibility, and what we call 2.0.4 was field-tested by millions of Steam users over the last six months, so you are probably safe to update the packages without rebuilding everything. But if there's a specific regression, we are happy to ship a 2.0.5 to address it right away.
