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