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) ============================ @@ -1,9 +1,8 @@ About libxcb ============ -libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, slated to -replace the current Xlib interface.
