Minor improvements.

@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{0.13.0}
|
|
|

Many improvements to the cairo backend. Add DPSshfill for all backends.
|
|
Better handling of X event times.

@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{0.12.0}
|

support for OpenGL.

@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{0.11.0}
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes to art and xlib.
|
|
|
|
There was some work on the Windows backend for the GDI interface by Christopher Armstrong.
|
|
|
|
@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{0.10.3}
|
|
|
|
Fixes. A lot of Cairo backend work.
|
|
|
|
@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{0.10.2}
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{0.10.1}
|
|
|
|
The art graphics module is the default now. As was previously the
|
|
case, if the proper libraries are not found, the configuration will
|
|
automatically switch to xlib on winlib (whichever is appropriate).
|
|
|
|
There was a great deal of work by Tom MacSween on the windows module to
|
|
get windows and taskbars working together, closing, opening, hiding, and just
|
|
general good window management.
|
|
|
|
The Cairo module has been significantly updated and now works with
|
|
Cariro version 1.0, although you need to make some minor changes to the
|
|
Cairo library before it will work with GNUstep. Due to this, this module
|
|
is still considered beta. Ask on the mailing lists for help with this.
|
|
|
|
@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{0.10.0}
|
|
|
|
The installed name of the backend now includes an interface version number.
|
|
This avoids the potential version mismatch between the frontend (GUI) library
|
|
and the backend.

@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{0.7.7}
|
|
|
|
First release. Most components extracted from xgps. The old backends,
|
|
xgps and xdps were depreciated in favor of this new backend, simply named
|
|
back, which can be configured for a variety of window server and
|
|
graphics implementations, and also allow for improved code sharing.
|
|
|
|
In addition there is now a window server backend for Windows computers,
|
|
although it is in a very alpha state.
