| Release 1.1 (2007-11-04) |
| ======================== |
| |
| This release requires xcb-proto 1.1, due to the addition of the |
| extension-multiword attribute to the XML schema. |
| |
| This release contains several important bug fixes, summarized below. It |
| also contains a patch much like Novell's libxcb-sloppy-lock.diff. |
| Rationale from the commit message follows. The patch and this rationale |
| were authored by Jamey Sharp <jamey@minilop.net>, with agreement from |
| Josh Triplett <josh@freedesktop.org>. |
| |
| I strongly opposed proposals like this one for a long time. |
| Originally I had a very good reason: libX11, when compiled to use |
| XCB, would crash soon after a locking correctness violation, so it |
| was better to have an informative assert failure than a mystifying |
| crash soon after. |
| |
| It took some time for me to realize that I'd changed the libX11 |
| implementation (for unrelated reasons) so that it could survive most |
| invalid locking situations, as long as it wasn't actually being used |
| from multiple threads concurrently. |
| |
| The other thing that has changed is that most of the code with |
| incorrect locking has now been fixed. The value of the assert is |
| accordingly lower. |
| |
| However, remaining broken callers do need to be fixed. That's why |
| libXCB will still noisily print a stacktrace (if possible) on each |
| assertion failure, even when assert isn't actually invoked to |
| abort() the program; and that's why aborting is still default. This |
| environment variable is provided only for use as a temporary |
| workaround for broken applications. |
| |
| Enhancements: |
| * Print a backtrace, if possible, on locking assertion failures. |
| * Skip abort() on locking assertions if LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK is set. |
| * xcb_poll_for_event: Return already-read events before reading again. |
| * Output a configuration summary at the end of ./configure. |
| |
| Bug fixes: |
| * Don't hold the xlib-xcb lock while sleeping: that allows deadlock. |
| * Allow unix:<screen> style display names again. |
| * Bug #9119: test xcb_popcount |
| * Fix unit tests for FreeBSD |
| * NetBSD doesn't have AI_ADDRCONFIG: use it only if it's available. |
| * Require libXau >= 0.99.2; earlier versions have a broken .pc file |
| * Use substitition variables in xcb-xinerama.pc.in |
| * Update autogen.sh to one that does objdir != srcdir |
| * Add tools/* and autogen.sh to EXTRA_DIST. |
| * Doxygen can now be fully disabled if desired. |
| |
| Documentation improvements: |
| * Many fixes and updates to the tutorial. |
| * Iterators, requests, and replies get partial Doxygen documentation. |
| |
| |
| Release 1.0 (2006-11-23) |
| ======================== |
| |
| The "Thanksgiving" release: We feel thankful to have it released. Five years |
| have passed since XCB's initial commit on September 3rd, 2001: |
| <http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xcb.git;a=commit;h=09e54c4a3c> |
| |
| * Support IPv6. XCB now supports displays with IPv6 addresses, with or without |
| enclosing square brackets, or with hosts which resolve to IPv6 addresses, by |
| using getaddrinfo instead of gethostbyname, and by including support for |
| authentication for such connections. This allows such displays as "::1:1.1". |
| |
| * XCB now uses the libpthread-stubs, to properly support optional use of |
| pthreads even on platforms which do not have all the necessary pthread stubs |
| in libc or otherwise available by default. |
| |
| * Switch from the old AM_PATH_CHECK macro to pkg-config. check 0.9.4 is now |
| required to build XCB's unit tests. The version that we were requiring was |
| not actually new enough to let our unit tests compile, and the AM_PATH_CHECK |
| macro is now considered deprecated. We know that versions of check using |
| pkg-config are new enough to work, and the check dependency was optional |
| anyway, so we've dropped support for older versions. |
| |
| * Provide a xcb_prefetch_maximum_request_length counterpart to |
| xcb_get_maximum_request_length. |
| |
| * Fix Bug #5958: zero out padding bytes in requests. |
| |
| * Change xcb_connect to pass the display number to _xcb_get_auth_info, which |
| passes it to get_authptr. This allows get_authptr to stop hacking the |
| display number out of the sockaddrs of various address families, such as |
| port - X_TCP_PORT, or the number after the last X in the UNIX socket path. |
| |
| * Remove --with-opt and --with-debug options from configure.ac; configure |
| supports the use of custom CFLAGS, so please use that instead. |
| |
| * Reove support for the <localfield> tag in protocol descriptions, since they |
| no longer use it, and since new protocol descriptions should not need it |
| either. |
| |
| * xcb-proto has no libraries or headers, so don't use XCBPROTO_CFLAGS or |
| XCBPROTO_LIBS. |
| |
| * XCB builds which use xdmcp now include it in Requires.private, to support |
| static linking. |
| |
| * Replace "long" with uint32_t when used for a 32-bit quantity |
| |
| * Various enhancements to the generation of documentation with Doxygen: |
| * Check for doxygen in configure.ac |
| * Fix some Doxygen warnings. |
| * Install documentation. |
| * Handle out-of-tree builds, with srcdir != builddir. xcb.doxygen now gets |
| generated from xcb.doxygen.in, so that it can use top_builddir and |
| top_srcdir to find source and to output documentation. |
| * Fill in PROJECT_NUMBER from @VERSION@, now that we have it readily |
| available via autoconf. |
| |
| |
| Release 1.0 RC3 (2006-11-02) |
| ============================ |
| |
| Note: Version 0.9.4 of the test suite tool "check" provides a broken |
| version of the AM_PATH_CHECK macro, which causes autoconf to fail due to |
| insufficient quoting on the macro names it prints in its deprecation |
| message. We have written a patch to fix this problem, available at: |
| <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/check-m4-am-path-check-use-quadrigraphs-in-macro-names-to-unbreak-autoconf.patch?bug=395466;msg=20;att=1> |
| Version 0.9.4-2 of the Debian package for check includes this patch. |
| Users of other distributions who want to re-autotool libxcb will need to |
| apply this patch, use an older version of check, or wait for a fixed |
| upstream version. This bug does not affect users who use the distributed |
| tarballs and do not re-autotool. |
| |
| * Add library support for xcb-xinerama, using new protocol description |
| from xcb-proto. |
| * In the generated protocol code, define and use constants for opcode |
| numbers rather than hard-coding them. |
| * In the API conversion script, match only XCB-namespaced XID generators |
| when converting to xcb_generate_id. |
| * Quit treating xproto specially in Makefile.am: handle it like all the |
| extensions. |
| * Generate Doxygen documentation comments in the protocol stubs, and |
| provide a Doxygen config file for building HTML documentation for XCB. |
| * Add note to xcbxlib.h that nothing except Xlib/XCB should use it. |
| * Extend test suite to test xcb_parse_display with NULL argument and |
| display in $DISPLAY. |
| |
| |
| Release 1.0 RC2 (2006-10-07) |
| ============================ |
| |
| API changes |
| ----------- |
| |
| In our announcement of XCB 1.0 RC1, we proposed two API changes for |
| community feedback: |
| |
| We would greatly appreciate API review in this final release |
| candidate period. We've had some limited feedback that our attempts |
| to impose static type safety on XIDs in C pose more a hindrance than |
| a help, so we would appreciate discussion over whether this |
| constitutes a "serious issue with the API". Some question also |
| remains of whether xcb_poll_for_event should have the out-parameter |
| 'error', now that XCB has a more uniform mechanism for reporting |
| connection errors. Speak now on these points or leave us alone. ;-) |
| |
| Since we've received feedback agreeing with our proposed changes, and no |
| objections or requests to keep the existing API, we made both changes |
| and bumped the soname to libxcb.so.1.0.0 in preparation for the release |
| of XCB 1.0. |
| |
| * Remove XID wrapper structures and replace them with uint32_t typedefs. |
| XID union types like xcb_drawable_t and xcb_fontable_t also become |
| uint32_t typedefs. The API conversion script now replaces xcb_*_new |
| with calls directly to xcb_generate_id. This change makes |
| xcb_generate_id part of the client API rather than the extension API, |
| so move xcb_generate_id from xcbext.h to xcb.h. |
| |
| * Remove the 'int *error' out-parameter for xcb_poll_for_event. |
| xcb_poll_for_event now shuts down the xcb_connection_t on fatal |
| errors; use xcb_connection_has_error to check. |
| |
| The Xlib-specific API in libxcb-xlib also changed: |
| |
| * Stop exposing the XCB IO lock for Xlib's benefit, by removing |
| xcb_get_io_lock from the Xlib-specific XCB API; instead, libxcb-xlib |
| now provides xcb_xlib_lock and xcb_xlib_unlock. |
| |
| Code generation changes |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| * The code generator no longer implicitly imports xproto for extensions. |
| xcb-proto 1.0 RC2 includes the corresponding change to explicitly |
| import xproto in extensions that need it |
| |
| * The generated protocol headers now declare "struct foo", "union foo" |
| or "enum foo", not just the typedef "foo" of an unnamed |
| struct/union/enum type. |
| |
| Bug Fixes |
| --------- |
| |
| * Make Plan 7 'checked' requests work correctly. |
| |
| Documentation improvements |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| * Document xcb_generate_id. |
| |
| * Tutorial enhancements. |
| |
| |
| Release 1.0 RC1 (2006-09-25) |
| ============================ |
| |
| The Great XCB Renaming |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| Rename API to follow a new naming convention: |
| |
| * XCB_CONSTANTS_UPPERCASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES |
| * xcb_functions_lowercase_with_underscores |
| * xcb_types_lowercase_with_underscores_and_suffix_t |
| * expand all abbreviations like "req", "rep", and "iter" |
| |
| Word boundaries for the names in the protocol descriptions fall: |
| |
| * Wherever the protocol descriptions already have an underscore |
| * Between a lowercase letter and a subsequent uppercase letter |
| * Before the last uppercase letter in a string of uppercase letters |
| followed by a lowercase letter (such as in LSBFirst between LSB and |
| First) |
| * Before and after a string of digits (with exceptions for sized types |
| like xcb_char2b_t and xcb_glx_float32_t to match the stdint.h |
| convention) |
| |
| Also fix up some particular naming issues: |
| |
| * Rename shape_op and shape_kind to drop the "shape_" prefix, since |
| otherwise these types end up as xcb_shape_shape_{op,kind}_t. |
| * Remove leading underscores from enums in the GLX protocol description, |
| previously needed to ensure a word separator, but now redundant. |
| |
| This renaming breaks code written for the previous API naming |
| convention. The scripts in XCB's tools directory will convert code |
| written for the old API to use the new API; they work well enough that |
| we used them to convert the non-program-generated code in XCB, and when |
| run on the old program-generated code, they almost exactly reproduce the |
| new program-generated code (modulo whitespace and bugs in the old code |
| generator). |
| |
| Authors: Vincent Torri, Thomas Hunger, Josh Triplett |
| |
| In addition to the API renaming, the library SONAMEs have changed to |
| libxcb.so and libxcb-extname.so. The library major version remains at 0, |
| to become version 1 before 1.0 is released; the SONAME lowercasing means |
| that this will not conflict with XCB 0.9 libraries. |
| |
| The header files have moved from /usr/include/X11/XCB/ to |
| /usr/include/xcb/. The XML-XCB protocol descriptions have moved to |
| /usr/share/xcb, with extension descriptions no longer relegated to an |
| extensions/ subdirectory. The API conversion script api_conv.pl will fix |
| references to the header files, and packages using pkg-config will |
| automatically use the new library names. |
| |
| Error handling Plan 7 |
| --------------------- |
| |
| All request functions now come in an "unchecked" and "checked" variant. |
| The checked variant allows callers to handle errors inline where they |
| obtain the reply, or by calling xcb_request_check for requests with no |
| reply. The unchecked variant uses the event queue for errors. Requests |
| with replies default to checked, because the caller must already make a |
| function call to retrieve the reply and can see the error at that time; |
| the unchecked variant uses the suffix _unchecked. Requests without |
| replies default to unchecked, because the caller will not necessarily |
| expect to handle a response, and the checked variant uses the suffix |
| _checked. |
| |
| Connection error handling |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| Fatal connection errors now put the xcb_connection_t object into an |
| error state, at which point all further operations on that connection |
| will fail. Callers can use the new xcb_connection_has_error function to |
| check for this state in a connection. Functions that return a |
| connection, such as the xcb_connect function, may instead return an |
| xcb_connection_t already in an error state. |
| |
| In the future we expect to add additional API for getting more |
| information about the error condition that caused the connection to get |
| into an error state. |
| |
| Smaller API changes |
| ------------------- |
| |
| All functions that have been marked 'deprecated' up to now have been |
| removed for this release. After XCB 1.0 is released, functions marked |
| 'deprecated' will be preserved until the end of time to maintain |
| compatibility. |
| |
| XCB no longer provides a sync function. Most callers of this function |
| should use xcb_flush instead, which usually provides the intended |
| functionality and does not require a round-trip to the server. If you |
| really need this functionality, either use xcb_get_input_focus like sync |
| used to do, or use the xcb_aux_sync function from the xcb-aux library in |
| xcb-util. However, note that we do not consider the libraries in |
| xcb-util remotely stable yet. |
| |
| XCB no longer provides xcb_[extension_name]_init functions for each |
| extension. These functions previously caused XCB to issue and process a |
| QueryExtension request. Callers should now directly call |
| xcb_get_extension_data on the xcb_[extension_name]_id, or use |
| xcb_prefetch_extension_data if they do not need to force a round-trip |
| immediately. |
| |
| The compatibility functions in xcbxlib.h, provided solely for use by |
| Xlib/XCB, now exist in a separate library libxcb-xlib. We don't want to |
| have to change the libxcb soname if we later change or remove the Xlib |
| compatibility functions, and nothing except Xlib/XCB should ever use |
| them. (Applications which use Xlib/XCB do not need this library either; |
| Xlib/XCB only uses it internally.) |
| |
| The descriptions of several extensions have been updated to match the |
| latest versions implemented in the X.org X server. |
| |
| GIT Repository split |
| -------------------- |

| Previously, several XCB-related projects all existed under the umbrella |
| of a single monolithic GIT repository with per-project subdirectories. |
| We have split this repository into individual per-project repositories. |
| |
| Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp wrote a tool called git-split to |
| accomplish this repository split. git-split reconstructs the history of |
| a sub-project previously stored in a subdirectory of a larger |
| repository. It constructs new commit objects based on the existing tree |
| objects for the subtree in each commit, and discards commits which do |
| not affect the history of the sub-project, as well as merges made |
| unnecessary due to these discarded commits. |
| |
| We would like to acknowledge the work of the gobby team in creating a |
| collaborative editor which greatly aided the development of git-split |
| (as well as these release notes). |

| Build and implementation fixes |
| ------------------------------ |
| |
| XCB no longer needs proto/x11 from X.org; the XCB header xproto.h |
| provides the definitions from X.h, named according to XCB conventions. |
| |
| XCB should now build with non-GNU implementations of Make. |
| |
| XCB properly handles 32-bit wrap of sequence numbers, and thus now |
| supports issuing more than 2**32 requests in one connection. |
| |
| Fixed bugs #7001, #7261. |
