  - Bugfix: Native access functions for context handles did not check that the API matched
  - Bugfix: `glfwMakeContextCurrent` would access TLS slot before initialization
  - Bugfix: `glfwSetGammaRamp` could emit `GLFW_INVALID_VALUE` before initialization
+ - Bugfix: `glfwGetJoystickUserPointer` returned `NULL` during disconnection (#2092)
  - [Win32] Added the `GLFW_WIN32_KEYBOARD_MENU` window hint for enabling access
            to the window menu
  - [Win32] Added a version info resource to the GLFW DLL
