142 Release 1.2 (2008-07-17)
143 ========================
148 Various fixes in protocol description:
154 New Python parser language-independent parts.
156 Release 1.1 (2007-11-04)
157 ========================
159 Incompatible change to the XML schema: rather than special-casing the
160 treatment of protocol extension names, use the new extension-multiword
161 attribute. Normally, XCB prefixes C extension functions with
162 xcb_extname_. However, some of the existing extensions used multi-word
163 names, such as xcb_big_requests_ or xcb_xc_misc_. Those extensions now
164 use this attribute to match their existing defined API. This allows the
165 XCB code generator to avoid special-casing those extension names.
168 * Update DAMAGE to 1.1
169 * Update RandR to version 1.2
172 * fix XSync Initialize call
173 * Update autogen.sh to one that does objdir != srcdir.
176 Release 1.0 (2006-11-23)
177 ========================
179 The "Thanksgiving" release: We feel thankful to have it released.
181 * Fix Bug #8990: randr type fixes
182 * Fixed screen parameter type in several GLX requests to use CARD32 instead
183 of the SCREEN structure.
184 * Corrected valueparam arguments to attribute lists in several requests and
186 * Estethic change for attribute parameter name
187 * Remove support for the <localfield> tag: nothing needs it.
188 * Fix Bug #8973: In UngrabKey, the 'key' field should have type KEYCODE, not
189 the more general CARD8.
192 Release 1.0 RC3 (2006-11-02)
193 ============================
195 * Add support for the Xinerama extension, version 1.1
196 * Protocol descriptions now document the major and minor version numbers
197 of the extension version they support, through major-version and
198 minor-version attributes on the xcb tag. XML Schema updated
200 * Minor source reorganization: Now that the extensions do not get
201 installed to an extensions/ subdirectory, move them out of the
202 extensions/ subdirectory in the source as well.
203 * Various protocol description fixes:
204 * Add REPEAT enumeration to Render extension to fix bug #8535
205 * Fix core xproto GrabMode enumeration (reported by Yang JianJun)
206 * Fix core xproto cap style enumeration (bug #8857).
209 Release 1.0 RC2 (2006-10-07)
210 ============================
212 * Add <import>xproto</import> explicitly to extensions that use xproto;
213 this goes along with the change in the code generator for libxcb 1.0 RC2 to
214 stop implicitly importing xproto.
215 * Change "union" to "xidunion" for XID unions like DRAWABLE and FONTABLE,
216 so that the code generator can more easily declare these XID unions as
217 integer typedefs rather than unions.
218 * Replace structures attempting to provide C type safety with CARD32 typedefs
219 * render.xml no longer describes the CompositeGlyphs* requests as taking lists
220 of complicated unions of structures of lists: it says instead that they take
221 a LISTofBYTE. The caller is responsible for constructing an appropriate
222 sequence of glyph elements. Previously, the requests could not actually be
223 used because XCB did not correctly compute the length of the provided data.
226 Release 1.0 RC1 (2006-09-25)
227 ============================
229 The Great XCB Renaming
230 ----------------------
232 * Rename shape_op and shape_kind to drop the "shape_" prefix, since
233 otherwise these types end up as xcb_shape_shape_{op,kind}_t.
234 * Remove leading underscores from enums in the GLX protocol description,
235 previously needed to ensure a word separator, but now redundant.
236 * The XML-XCB protocol descriptions have moved to /usr/share/xcb, with
237 extension descriptions no longer relegated to an extensions/ subdirectory.
242 Previously, several XCB-related projects all existed under the umbrella
243 of a single monolithic GIT repository with per-project subdirectories.
244 We have split this repository into individual per-project repositories.
246 Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp wrote a tool called git-split to
247 accomplish this repository split. git-split reconstructs the history of
248 a sub-project previously stored in a subdirectory of a larger
249 repository. It constructs new commit objects based on the existing tree
250 objects for the subtree in each commit, and discards commits which do
251 not affect the history of the sub-project, as well as merges made
252 unnecessary due to these discarded commits.
254 We would like to acknowledge the work of the gobby team in creating a
255 collaborative editor which greatly aided the development of git-split
256 (as well as these release notes).
