75 Release 1.2 (2008-07-17)
76 ========================
81 Various fixes in protocol description:
87 New Python parser language-independent parts.
89 Release 1.1 (2007-11-04)
90 ========================
92 Incompatible change to the XML schema: rather than special-casing the
93 treatment of protocol extension names, use the new extension-multiword
94 attribute. Normally, XCB prefixes C extension functions with
95 xcb_extname_. However, some of the existing extensions used multi-word
96 names, such as xcb_big_requests_ or xcb_xc_misc_. Those extensions now
97 use this attribute to match their existing defined API. This allows the
98 XCB code generator to avoid special-casing those extension names.
101 * Update DAMAGE to 1.1
102 * Update RandR to version 1.2
105 * fix XSync Initialize call
106 * Update autogen.sh to one that does objdir != srcdir.
109 Release 1.0 (2006-11-23)
110 ========================
112 The "Thanksgiving" release: We feel thankful to have it released.
114 * Fix Bug #8990: randr type fixes
115 * Fixed screen parameter type in several GLX requests to use CARD32 instead
116 of the SCREEN structure.
117 * Corrected valueparam arguments to attribute lists in several requests and
119 * Estethic change for attribute parameter name
120 * Remove support for the <localfield> tag: nothing needs it.
121 * Fix Bug #8973: In UngrabKey, the 'key' field should have type KEYCODE, not
122 the more general CARD8.
125 Release 1.0 RC3 (2006-11-02)
126 ============================
128 * Add support for the Xinerama extension, version 1.1
129 * Protocol descriptions now document the major and minor version numbers
130 of the extension version they support, through major-version and
131 minor-version attributes on the xcb tag. XML Schema updated
133 * Minor source reorganization: Now that the extensions do not get
134 installed to an extensions/ subdirectory, move them out of the
135 extensions/ subdirectory in the source as well.
136 * Various protocol description fixes:
137 * Add REPEAT enumeration to Render extension to fix bug #8535
138 * Fix core xproto GrabMode enumeration (reported by Yang JianJun)
139 * Fix core xproto cap style enumeration (bug #8857).
142 Release 1.0 RC2 (2006-10-07)
143 ============================
145 * Add <import>xproto</import> explicitly to extensions that use xproto;
146 this goes along with the change in the code generator for libxcb 1.0 RC2 to
147 stop implicitly importing xproto.
148 * Change "union" to "xidunion" for XID unions like DRAWABLE and FONTABLE,
149 so that the code generator can more easily declare these XID unions as
150 integer typedefs rather than unions.
151 * Replace structures attempting to provide C type safety with CARD32 typedefs
152 * render.xml no longer describes the CompositeGlyphs* requests as taking lists
153 of complicated unions of structures of lists: it says instead that they take
154 a LISTofBYTE. The caller is responsible for constructing an appropriate
155 sequence of glyph elements. Previously, the requests could not actually be
156 used because XCB did not correctly compute the length of the provided data.
159 Release 1.0 RC1 (2006-09-25)
160 ============================
162 The Great XCB Renaming
163 ----------------------
165 * Rename shape_op and shape_kind to drop the "shape_" prefix, since
166 otherwise these types end up as xcb_shape_shape_{op,kind}_t.
167 * Remove leading underscores from enums in the GLX protocol description,
168 previously needed to ensure a word separator, but now redundant.
169 * The XML-XCB protocol descriptions have moved to /usr/share/xcb, with
170 extension descriptions no longer relegated to an extensions/ subdirectory.
175 Previously, several XCB-related projects all existed under the umbrella
176 of a single monolithic GIT repository with per-project subdirectories.
177 We have split this repository into individual per-project repositories.
179 Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp wrote a tool called git-split to
180 accomplish this repository split. git-split reconstructs the history of
181 a sub-project previously stored in a subdirectory of a larger
182 repository. It constructs new commit objects based on the existing tree
183 objects for the subtree in each commit, and discards commits which do
184 not affect the history of the sub-project, as well as merges made
185 unnecessary due to these discarded commits.
187 We would like to acknowledge the work of the gobby team in creating a
188 collaborative editor which greatly aided the development of git-split
189 (as well as these release notes).
