69 Release 1.2 (2008-07-17)
70 ========================
75 Various fixes in protocol description:
81 New Python parser language-independent parts.
83 Release 1.1 (2007-11-04)
84 ========================
86 Incompatible change to the XML schema: rather than special-casing the
87 treatment of protocol extension names, use the new extension-multiword
88 attribute. Normally, XCB prefixes C extension functions with
89 xcb_extname_. However, some of the existing extensions used multi-word
90 names, such as xcb_big_requests_ or xcb_xc_misc_. Those extensions now
91 use this attribute to match their existing defined API. This allows the
92 XCB code generator to avoid special-casing those extension names.
95 * Update DAMAGE to 1.1
96 * Update RandR to version 1.2
99 * fix XSync Initialize call
100 * Update autogen.sh to one that does objdir != srcdir.
103 Release 1.0 (2006-11-23)
104 ========================
106 The "Thanksgiving" release: We feel thankful to have it released.
108 * Fix Bug #8990: randr type fixes
109 * Fixed screen parameter type in several GLX requests to use CARD32 instead
110 of the SCREEN structure.
111 * Corrected valueparam arguments to attribute lists in several requests and
113 * Estethic change for attribute parameter name
114 * Remove support for the <localfield> tag: nothing needs it.
115 * Fix Bug #8973: In UngrabKey, the 'key' field should have type KEYCODE, not
116 the more general CARD8.
119 Release 1.0 RC3 (2006-11-02)
120 ============================
122 * Add support for the Xinerama extension, version 1.1
123 * Protocol descriptions now document the major and minor version numbers
124 of the extension version they support, through major-version and
125 minor-version attributes on the xcb tag. XML Schema updated
127 * Minor source reorganization: Now that the extensions do not get
128 installed to an extensions/ subdirectory, move them out of the
129 extensions/ subdirectory in the source as well.
130 * Various protocol description fixes:
131 * Add REPEAT enumeration to Render extension to fix bug #8535
132 * Fix core xproto GrabMode enumeration (reported by Yang JianJun)
133 * Fix core xproto cap style enumeration (bug #8857).
136 Release 1.0 RC2 (2006-10-07)
137 ============================
139 * Add <import>xproto</import> explicitly to extensions that use xproto;
140 this goes along with the change in the code generator for libxcb 1.0 RC2 to
141 stop implicitly importing xproto.
142 * Change "union" to "xidunion" for XID unions like DRAWABLE and FONTABLE,
143 so that the code generator can more easily declare these XID unions as
144 integer typedefs rather than unions.
145 * Replace structures attempting to provide C type safety with CARD32 typedefs
146 * render.xml no longer describes the CompositeGlyphs* requests as taking lists
147 of complicated unions of structures of lists: it says instead that they take
148 a LISTofBYTE. The caller is responsible for constructing an appropriate
149 sequence of glyph elements. Previously, the requests could not actually be
150 used because XCB did not correctly compute the length of the provided data.
153 Release 1.0 RC1 (2006-09-25)
154 ============================
156 The Great XCB Renaming
157 ----------------------
159 * Rename shape_op and shape_kind to drop the "shape_" prefix, since
160 otherwise these types end up as xcb_shape_shape_{op,kind}_t.
161 * Remove leading underscores from enums in the GLX protocol description,
162 previously needed to ensure a word separator, but now redundant.
163 * The XML-XCB protocol descriptions have moved to /usr/share/xcb, with
164 extension descriptions no longer relegated to an extensions/ subdirectory.
169 Previously, several XCB-related projects all existed under the umbrella
170 of a single monolithic GIT repository with per-project subdirectories.
171 We have split this repository into individual per-project repositories.
173 Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp wrote a tool called git-split to
174 accomplish this repository split. git-split reconstructs the history of
175 a sub-project previously stored in a subdirectory of a larger
176 repository. It constructs new commit objects based on the existing tree
177 objects for the subtree in each commit, and discards commits which do
178 not affect the history of the sub-project, as well as merges made
179 unnecessary due to these discarded commits.
181 We would like to acknowledge the work of the gobby team in creating a
182 collaborative editor which greatly aided the development of git-split
183 (as well as these release notes).
