Description Sik 2012-10-21 10:28:07 UTC 
I suggest adding an event for when the user performs a double click. Should be self-explanatory. Whenever possible, the double click event should respect the system settings for the maximum delay and distances allowed (e.g. by using the OS's own events), while elsewhere it may have to be faked.

For when it's faked, do you think a maximum delay of 500ms and a maximum distance of 1% of the screen resolution (take the shortest dimension) are good enough?

PS: should this be "enhancement" or "API change"?

A "clicks" field was added for mouse button events here:
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/658b461d81be

I guess this will be part of SDL 2.0.2 (although not listed in WhatsNew.txt yet).

Yup, I'll add it to the WhatsNew.txt file today.
