Normally, XCB prefixes C extension functions with 225xcb_extname_. However, some of the existing extensions used multi-word 226names, such as xcb_big_requests_ or xcb_xc_misc_. Those extensions now 227use this attribute to match their existing defined API. This allows the 228XCB code generator to avoid special-casing those extension names. 229 230Protocol updates: 231* Update DAMAGE to 1.1 232* Update RandR to version 1.2 233 234Bug fixes: 235* fix XSync Initialize call 236* Update autogen.sh to one that does objdir != srcdir. 237 238 239Release 1.0 (2006-11-23) 240======================== 241 242The "Thanksgiving" release: We feel thankful to have it released. 243 244* Fix Bug #8990: randr type fixes 245* Fixed screen parameter type in several GLX requests to use CARD32 instead 246 of the SCREEN structure. 247* Corrected valueparam arguments to attribute lists in several requests and 248 a reply. 249* Estethic change for attribute parameter name 250* Remove support for the <localfield> tag: nothing needs it. 251* Fix Bug #8973: In UngrabKey, the 'key' field should have type KEYCODE, not 252 the more general CARD8. 253 254 255Release 1.0 RC3 (2006-11-02) 256============================ 257 258* Add support for the Xinerama extension, version 1.1 259* Protocol descriptions now document the major and minor version numbers 260 of the extension version they support, through major-version and 261 minor-version attributes on the xcb tag. XML Schema updated 262 accordingly. 263* Minor source reorganization: Now that the extensions do not get 264 installed to an extensions/ subdirectory, move them out of the 265 extensions/ subdirectory in the source as well. 266* Various protocol description fixes: 267 * Add REPEAT enumeration to Render extension to fix bug #8535 268 * Fix core xproto GrabMode enumeration (reported by Yang JianJun) 269 * Fix core xproto cap style enumeration (bug #8857). 270 271 272Release 1.0 RC2 (2006-10-07) 273============================ 274 275* Add <import>xproto</import> explicitly to extensions that use xproto; 276 this goes along with the change in the code generator for libxcb 1.0 RC2 to 277 stop implicitly importing xproto. 278* Change "union" to "xidunion" for XID unions like DRAWABLE and FONTABLE, 279 so that the code generator can more easily declare these XID unions as 280 integer typedefs rather than unions. 281* Replace structures attempting to provide C type safety with CARD32 typedefs 282* render.xml no longer describes the CompositeGlyphs* requests as taking lists 283 of complicated unions of structures of lists: it says instead that they take 284 a LISTofBYTE. The caller is responsible for constructing an appropriate 285 sequence of glyph elements. Previously, the requests could not actually be 286 used because XCB did not correctly compute the length of the provided data. 287 288 289Release 1.0 RC1 (2006-09-25) 290============================ 291 292The Great XCB Renaming 293---------------------- 294 295* Rename shape_op and shape_kind to drop the "shape_" prefix, since 296 otherwise these types end up as xcb_shape_shape_{op,kind}_t. 297* Remove leading underscores from enums in the GLX protocol description, 298 previously needed to ensure a word separator, but now redundant. 299* The XML-XCB protocol descriptions have moved to /usr/share/xcb, with 300 extension descriptions no longer relegated to an extensions/ subdirectory. 301 302GIT Repository split 303-------------------- 304 305Previously, several XCB-related projects all existed under the umbrella 306of a single monolithic GIT repository with per-project subdirectories. 307We have split this repository into individual per-project repositories. 308 309Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp wrote a tool called git-split to 310accomplish this repository split. git-split reconstructs the history of 311a sub-project previously stored in a subdirectory of a larger 312repository. It constructs new commit objects based on the existing tree 313objects for the subtree in each commit, and discards commits which do 314not affect the history of the sub-project, as well as merges made 315unnecessary due to these discarded commits. 316 317We would like to acknowledge the work of the gobby team in creating a 318collaborative editor which greatly aided the development of git-split 319(as well as these release notes). 320
