133 Release 1.2 (2008-07-17)
134 ========================
139 Various fixes in protocol description:
145 New Python parser language-independent parts.
147 Release 1.1 (2007-11-04)
148 ========================
150 Incompatible change to the XML schema: rather than special-casing the
151 treatment of protocol extension names, use the new extension-multiword
152 attribute. Normally, XCB prefixes C extension functions with
153 xcb_extname_. However, some of the existing extensions used multi-word
154 names, such as xcb_big_requests_ or xcb_xc_misc_. Those extensions now
155 use this attribute to match their existing defined API. This allows the
156 XCB code generator to avoid special-casing those extension names.
159 * Update DAMAGE to 1.1
160 * Update RandR to version 1.2
163 * fix XSync Initialize call
164 * Update autogen.sh to one that does objdir != srcdir.
167 Release 1.0 (2006-11-23)
168 ========================
170 The "Thanksgiving" release: We feel thankful to have it released.
172 * Fix Bug #8990: randr type fixes
173 * Fixed screen parameter type in several GLX requests to use CARD32 instead
174 of the SCREEN structure.
175 * Corrected valueparam arguments to attribute lists in several requests and
177 * Estethic change for attribute parameter name
178 * Remove support for the <localfield> tag: nothing needs it.
179 * Fix Bug #8973: In UngrabKey, the 'key' field should have type KEYCODE, not
180 the more general CARD8.
183 Release 1.0 RC3 (2006-11-02)
184 ============================
186 * Add support for the Xinerama extension, version 1.1
187 * Protocol descriptions now document the major and minor version numbers
188 of the extension version they support, through major-version and
189 minor-version attributes on the xcb tag. XML Schema updated
191 * Minor source reorganization: Now that the extensions do not get
192 installed to an extensions/ subdirectory, move them out of the
193 extensions/ subdirectory in the source as well.
194 * Various protocol description fixes:
195 * Add REPEAT enumeration to Render extension to fix bug #8535
196 * Fix core xproto GrabMode enumeration (reported by Yang JianJun)
197 * Fix core xproto cap style enumeration (bug #8857).
200 Release 1.0 RC2 (2006-10-07)
201 ============================
203 * Add <import>xproto</import> explicitly to extensions that use xproto;
204 this goes along with the change in the code generator for libxcb 1.0 RC2 to
205 stop implicitly importing xproto.
206 * Change "union" to "xidunion" for XID unions like DRAWABLE and FONTABLE,
207 so that the code generator can more easily declare these XID unions as
208 integer typedefs rather than unions.
209 * Replace structures attempting to provide C type safety with CARD32 typedefs
210 * render.xml no longer describes the CompositeGlyphs* requests as taking lists
211 of complicated unions of structures of lists: it says instead that they take
212 a LISTofBYTE. The caller is responsible for constructing an appropriate
213 sequence of glyph elements. Previously, the requests could not actually be
214 used because XCB did not correctly compute the length of the provided data.
217 Release 1.0 RC1 (2006-09-25)
218 ============================
220 The Great XCB Renaming
221 ----------------------
223 * Rename shape_op and shape_kind to drop the "shape_" prefix, since
224 otherwise these types end up as xcb_shape_shape_{op,kind}_t.
225 * Remove leading underscores from enums in the GLX protocol description,
226 previously needed to ensure a word separator, but now redundant.
227 * The XML-XCB protocol descriptions have moved to /usr/share/xcb, with
228 extension descriptions no longer relegated to an extensions/ subdirectory.
233 Previously, several XCB-related projects all existed under the umbrella
234 of a single monolithic GIT repository with per-project subdirectories.
235 We have split this repository into individual per-project repositories.
237 Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp wrote a tool called git-split to
238 accomplish this repository split. git-split reconstructs the history of
239 a sub-project previously stored in a subdirectory of a larger
240 repository. It constructs new commit objects based on the existing tree
241 objects for the subtree in each commit, and discards commits which do
242 not affect the history of the sub-project, as well as merges made
243 unnecessary due to these discarded commits.
245 We would like to acknowledge the work of the gobby team in creating a
246 collaborative editor which greatly aided the development of git-split
247 (as well as these release notes).
