| |
| Release 1.1 (2007-11-04) |
| ======================== |
| |
| Incompatible change to the XML schema: rather than special-casing the |
| treatment of protocol extension names, use the new extension-multiword |
| attribute. Normally, XCB prefixes C extension functions with |
| xcb_extname_. However, some of the existing extensions used multi-word |
| names, such as xcb_big_requests_ or xcb_xc_misc_. Those extensions now |
| use this attribute to match their existing defined API. This allows the |
| XCB code generator to avoid special-casing those extension names. |
| |
| Protocol updates: |
| * Update DAMAGE to 1.1 |
| * Update RandR to version 1.2 |
| |
| Bug fixes: |
| * fix XSync Initialize call |
| * Update autogen.sh to one that does objdir != srcdir. |
| |
| |
| Release 1.0 (2006-11-23) |
| ======================== |
| |
| The "Thanksgiving" release: We feel thankful to have it released. |
| |
| * Fix Bug #8990: randr type fixes |
| * Fixed screen parameter type in several GLX requests to use CARD32 instead |
| of the SCREEN structure. |
| * Corrected valueparam arguments to attribute lists in several requests and |
| a reply. |
| * Estethic change for attribute parameter name |
| * Remove support for the <localfield> tag: nothing needs it. |
| * Fix Bug #8973: In UngrabKey, the 'key' field should have type KEYCODE, not |
| the more general CARD8. |
| |
| |
| Release 1.0 RC3 (2006-11-02) |
| ============================ |
| |
| * Add support for the Xinerama extension, version 1.1 |
| * Protocol descriptions now document the major and minor version numbers |
| of the extension version they support, through major-version and |
| minor-version attributes on the xcb tag. XML Schema updated |
| accordingly. |
| * Minor source reorganization: Now that the extensions do not get |
| installed to an extensions/ subdirectory, move them out of the |
| extensions/ subdirectory in the source as well. |
| * Various protocol description fixes: |
| * Add REPEAT enumeration to Render extension to fix bug #8535 |
| * Fix core xproto GrabMode enumeration (reported by Yang JianJun) |
| * Fix core xproto cap style enumeration (bug #8857). |
| |
| |
| Release 1.0 RC2 (2006-10-07) |
| ============================ |
| |
| * Add <import>xproto</import> explicitly to extensions that use xproto; |
| this goes along with the change in the code generator for libxcb 1.0 RC2 to |
| stop implicitly importing xproto. |
| * Change "union" to "xidunion" for XID unions like DRAWABLE and FONTABLE, |
| so that the code generator can more easily declare these XID unions as |
| integer typedefs rather than unions. |
| * Replace structures attempting to provide C type safety with CARD32 typedefs |
| * render.xml no longer describes the CompositeGlyphs* requests as taking lists |
| of complicated unions of structures of lists: it says instead that they take |
| a LISTofBYTE. The caller is responsible for constructing an appropriate |
| sequence of glyph elements. Previously, the requests could not actually be |
| used because XCB did not correctly compute the length of the provided data. |
| |
| |
| Release 1.0 RC1 (2006-09-25) |
| ============================ |
| |
| The Great XCB Renaming |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| * Rename shape_op and shape_kind to drop the "shape_" prefix, since |
| otherwise these types end up as xcb_shape_shape_{op,kind}_t. |
| * Remove leading underscores from enums in the GLX protocol description, |
| previously needed to ensure a word separator, but now redundant. |
| * The XML-XCB protocol descriptions have moved to /usr/share/xcb, with |
| extension descriptions no longer relegated to an extensions/ subdirectory. |
| |
| GIT Repository split |
| -------------------- |
| |
| Previously, several XCB-related projects all existed under the umbrella |
| of a single monolithic GIT repository with per-project subdirectories. |
| We have split this repository into individual per-project repositories. |
| |
| Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp wrote a tool called git-split to |
| accomplish this repository split. git-split reconstructs the history of |
| a sub-project previously stored in a subdirectory of a larger |
| repository. It constructs new commit objects based on the existing tree |
| objects for the subtree in each commit, and discards commits which do |
| not affect the history of the sub-project, as well as merges made |
| unnecessary due to these discarded commits. |
| |
| We would like to acknowledge the work of the gobby team in creating a |
| collaborative editor which greatly aided the development of git-split |
| (as well as these release notes). |
