The caller is responsible for constructing an appropriate + sequence of glyph elements. Previously, the requests could not actually be + used because XCB did not correctly compute the length of the provided data. + + +Release 1.0 RC1 (2006-09-25) +============================ + +The Great XCB Renaming +---------------------- + +* 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. +* The XML-XCB protocol descriptions have moved to /usr/share/xcb, with + extension descriptions no longer relegated to an extensions/ subdirectory. + +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). |
