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). |
