@@ -1,5 +1,38 @@ = KMSCON Release News = +CHANGES WITH 4: + * The "conf" subsystem was modularized so we can use it in other + binaries as well. It is also much easier to add new parameters now. + + * Remove internal dependencies. Several subsystems will be split into + separate libraries (like eloop, uterm, vte+console) so we should avoid + any internal dependencies between these. This shouldn't affect + performance, though. + + * New --seats argument which allows to specify what seats kmscon is + running on. + + * The old vt.[ch] subsystem is now merged into uterm_vt.c and a fake VT + backend was added. This allows to activate/deactivate kmscon via + keyboard shortcuts. This is for debugging only, though. + + * The VTE layer was extended a lot to support more advanced control + sequences and fix several bugs. + + * --dumb now forces kmscon to use non-accelerated rendering + + * The scrollback buffer now works. You can specify keyboard shortcuts + via --grab-* options. Default is: <Shift>Up/Down/Prior/Next + + * GL_EXT_unpack_subimage is not required anymore. + + * _Lots_ of speed improvements in the rendering path. + + * The unifont font backend was added. This is similar to 8x16 but has a + lot more characters. + + * ... and a lot of bugfixes + CHANGES WITH 3: (development release) * VTE support has been improved greatly. vt220 should be supported fully except for multi-line characters. |
