-*- Text -*- --- Changes in SBCL CLX 0.5.2, XXX FILL TIMESTAMP IN --- OPEN-DEFAULT-DISPLAY now takes an optional argument for the display name, which has the same "protocol/host:display.screen" format as used by the C libX11 (XOpenDisplay). OPEN-DISPLAY is not actively deprecated, but is much less useful by comparison Inclusion of two new tests/demos (from Ingvar Mattson): * demo/clclock: a simple clock application; * demo/mandel: a Mandelbrot set viewer. Bug fixes * Fix bad type declarations in TEXT-EXTENTS-SERVER and TEXT-WIDTH-SERVER (text.lisp) --- Changes in SBCL CLX 0.5.1, Wed Jun 25 14:20:31 BST 2003 --- experimental RENDER extension support (from Gilbert Baumann) note: the API to this is as yet unfinalized, as indeed the protocol and specification appear to be in flux. Nevertheless, feedback is welcome to the portable-clx-devel mailing list. Bug fixes * fix bugs in the image test: always draw glyphs in white on black (not 1 on 0 -- i.e. dark red/blue on black in 24 bit truecolour); don't abuse the X-HOT and Y-HOT slots for communicating persistent information any more. * Disable the "optimized" pixarray read/write routines, on the basis that the newly fixed image test reveals that they are broken. * fix type bugs in DEFINE-GCONTEXT-ACCESSOR, which previously signalled a type error if :COPY-FUNCTION was not provided, and a different type error if it was. Other notes * we use the SBCL extensions to the condition system to customize compiler behaviour. As such, the system will only build without breaking into the debugger using the supplied .asd, as we inhibit error signalling from DEFCONSTANT; the benefits of this are easier code sharing, as we minimize divergence within the clx source proper from other implementations. * we also use an SBCL extension to maximize efficiency: we set SB-EXT:*DERIVE-FUNCTION-TYPES* to true for the duration of the compilation of the clx library. Should functions in CLX be redefined in a type-incompatible way, their callers in CLX (but not outside) will need to be recompiled. --- Changes in SBCL CLX 0.5, Fri May 30 01:16:34 BST 2003 --- XFree86-VidModeExtension extension support (courtesy of Iban Hatchondo) OPEN-DEFAULT-DISPLAY (opens display in $DISPLAY environment variable) exported Implement CLX MP dependencies for SBCL: HOLDING-LOCK, PROCESS-BLOCK, etc Many bug fixes * asking for text extents on unchached fonts could potentially deadlock http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.clx.devel/16 * lots of compiler warnings, style-warnings, notes cleared up Style and ANSI cleanups * Much renaming of constants from *foo* to +foo+ * Change old-style COMPILE LOAD EVAL to new-style :COMPILE-TOPLEVEL :LOAD-TOPLEVEL :EXECUTE in EVAL-WHENs.
