1 Release 1.3 (2008-12-10)
2 ========================
3 Explicit padding was added in various protocol description.
8 * Change CARD8 to char when specs requires STRING8
10 Release 1.2 (2008-07-17)
11 ========================
16 Various fixes in protocol description:
22 New Python parser language-independent parts.
24 Release 1.1 (2007-11-04)
25 ========================
27 Incompatible change to the XML schema: rather than special-casing the
28 treatment of protocol extension names, use the new extension-multiword
29 attribute. Normally, XCB prefixes C extension functions with
30 xcb_extname_. However, some of the existing extensions used multi-word
31 names, such as xcb_big_requests_ or xcb_xc_misc_. Those extensions now
32 use this attribute to match their existing defined API. This allows the
33 XCB code generator to avoid special-casing those extension names.
36 * Update DAMAGE to 1.1
37 * Update RandR to version 1.2
40 * fix XSync Initialize call
41 * Update autogen.sh to one that does objdir != srcdir.
44 Release 1.0 (2006-11-23)
45 ========================
47 The "Thanksgiving" release: We feel thankful to have it released.
49 * Fix Bug #8990: randr type fixes
50 * Fixed screen parameter type in several GLX requests to use CARD32 instead
51 of the SCREEN structure.
52 * Corrected valueparam arguments to attribute lists in several requests and
54 * Estethic change for attribute parameter name
55 * Remove support for the <localfield> tag: nothing needs it.
56 * Fix Bug #8973: In UngrabKey, the 'key' field should have type KEYCODE, not
57 the more general CARD8.
60 Release 1.0 RC3 (2006-11-02)
61 ============================
63 * Add support for the Xinerama extension, version 1.1
64 * Protocol descriptions now document the major and minor version numbers
65 of the extension version they support, through major-version and
66 minor-version attributes on the xcb tag. XML Schema updated
68 * Minor source reorganization: Now that the extensions do not get
69 installed to an extensions/ subdirectory, move them out of the
70 extensions/ subdirectory in the source as well.
71 * Various protocol description fixes:
72 * Add REPEAT enumeration to Render extension to fix bug #8535
73 * Fix core xproto GrabMode enumeration (reported by Yang JianJun)
74 * Fix core xproto cap style enumeration (bug #8857).
77 Release 1.0 RC2 (2006-10-07)
78 ============================
80 * Add <import>xproto</import> explicitly to extensions that use xproto;
81 this goes along with the change in the code generator for libxcb 1.0 RC2 to
82 stop implicitly importing xproto.
83 * Change "union" to "xidunion" for XID unions like DRAWABLE and FONTABLE,
84 so that the code generator can more easily declare these XID unions as
85 integer typedefs rather than unions.
86 * Replace structures attempting to provide C type safety with CARD32 typedefs
87 * render.xml no longer describes the CompositeGlyphs* requests as taking lists
88 of complicated unions of structures of lists: it says instead that they take
89 a LISTofBYTE. The caller is responsible for constructing an appropriate
90 sequence of glyph elements. Previously, the requests could not actually be
91 used because XCB did not correctly compute the length of the provided data.
94 Release 1.0 RC1 (2006-09-25)
95 ============================
97 The Great XCB Renaming
98 ----------------------
100 * Rename shape_op and shape_kind to drop the "shape_" prefix, since
101 otherwise these types end up as xcb_shape_shape_{op,kind}_t.
102 * Remove leading underscores from enums in the GLX protocol description,
103 previously needed to ensure a word separator, but now redundant.
104 * The XML-XCB protocol descriptions have moved to /usr/share/xcb, with
105 extension descriptions no longer relegated to an extensions/ subdirectory.
110 Previously, several XCB-related projects all existed under the umbrella
111 of a single monolithic GIT repository with per-project subdirectories.
112 We have split this repository into individual per-project repositories.
114 Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp wrote a tool called git-split to
115 accomplish this repository split. git-split reconstructs the history of
116 a sub-project previously stored in a subdirectory of a larger
117 repository. It constructs new commit objects based on the existing tree
118 objects for the subtree in each commit, and discards commits which do
119 not affect the history of the sub-project, as well as merges made
120 unnecessary due to these discarded commits.
122 We would like to acknowledge the work of the gobby team in creating a
123 collaborative editor which greatly aided the development of git-split
124 (as well as these release notes).
