156 Release 1.2 (2008-07-17)
157 ========================
162 Various fixes in protocol description:
168 New Python parser language-independent parts.
170 Release 1.1 (2007-11-04)
171 ========================
173 Incompatible change to the XML schema: rather than special-casing the
174 treatment of protocol extension names, use the new extension-multiword
175 attribute. Normally, XCB prefixes C extension functions with
176 xcb_extname_. However, some of the existing extensions used multi-word
177 names, such as xcb_big_requests_ or xcb_xc_misc_. Those extensions now
178 use this attribute to match their existing defined API. This allows the
179 XCB code generator to avoid special-casing those extension names.
182 * Update DAMAGE to 1.1
183 * Update RandR to version 1.2
186 * fix XSync Initialize call
187 * Update autogen.sh to one that does objdir != srcdir.
190 Release 1.0 (2006-11-23)
191 ========================
193 The "Thanksgiving" release: We feel thankful to have it released.
195 * Fix Bug #8990: randr type fixes
196 * Fixed screen parameter type in several GLX requests to use CARD32 instead
197 of the SCREEN structure.
198 * Corrected valueparam arguments to attribute lists in several requests and
200 * Estethic change for attribute parameter name
201 * Remove support for the <localfield> tag: nothing needs it.
202 * Fix Bug #8973: In UngrabKey, the 'key' field should have type KEYCODE, not
203 the more general CARD8.
206 Release 1.0 RC3 (2006-11-02)
207 ============================
209 * Add support for the Xinerama extension, version 1.1
210 * Protocol descriptions now document the major and minor version numbers
211 of the extension version they support, through major-version and
212 minor-version attributes on the xcb tag. XML Schema updated
214 * Minor source reorganization: Now that the extensions do not get
215 installed to an extensions/ subdirectory, move them out of the
216 extensions/ subdirectory in the source as well.
217 * Various protocol description fixes:
218 * Add REPEAT enumeration to Render extension to fix bug #8535
219 * Fix core xproto GrabMode enumeration (reported by Yang JianJun)
220 * Fix core xproto cap style enumeration (bug #8857).
223 Release 1.0 RC2 (2006-10-07)
224 ============================
226 * Add <import>xproto</import> explicitly to extensions that use xproto;
227 this goes along with the change in the code generator for libxcb 1.0 RC2 to
228 stop implicitly importing xproto.
229 * Change "union" to "xidunion" for XID unions like DRAWABLE and FONTABLE,
230 so that the code generator can more easily declare these XID unions as
231 integer typedefs rather than unions.
232 * Replace structures attempting to provide C type safety with CARD32 typedefs
233 * render.xml no longer describes the CompositeGlyphs* requests as taking lists
234 of complicated unions of structures of lists: it says instead that they take
235 a LISTofBYTE. The caller is responsible for constructing an appropriate
236 sequence of glyph elements. Previously, the requests could not actually be
237 used because XCB did not correctly compute the length of the provided data.
240 Release 1.0 RC1 (2006-09-25)
241 ============================
243 The Great XCB Renaming
244 ----------------------
246 * Rename shape_op and shape_kind to drop the "shape_" prefix, since
247 otherwise these types end up as xcb_shape_shape_{op,kind}_t.
248 * Remove leading underscores from enums in the GLX protocol description,
249 previously needed to ensure a word separator, but now redundant.
250 * The XML-XCB protocol descriptions have moved to /usr/share/xcb, with
251 extension descriptions no longer relegated to an extensions/ subdirectory.
256 Previously, several XCB-related projects all existed under the umbrella
257 of a single monolithic GIT repository with per-project subdirectories.
258 We have split this repository into individual per-project repositories.
260 Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp wrote a tool called git-split to
261 accomplish this repository split. git-split reconstructs the history of
262 a sub-project previously stored in a subdirectory of a larger
263 repository. It constructs new commit objects based on the existing tree
264 objects for the subtree in each commit, and discards commits which do
265 not affect the history of the sub-project, as well as merges made
266 unnecessary due to these discarded commits.
268 We would like to acknowledge the work of the gobby team in creating a
269 collaborative editor which greatly aided the development of git-split
270 (as well as these release notes).
