Clients desiring XCB interoperability should +additionally #include <X11/Xlib-xcb.h>, link to libX11-xcb, use +XGetXCBConnection(dpy) to obtain the underlying XCB connection, and then use +XCB functions directly on that connection. + +Note that while a client can issue requests and handle their replies or errors +with either Xlib or XCB, only one can own and handle the event queue. By +default, Xlib must own the event queue, for compatibility with legacy Xlib +clients. Clients can use the function XSetEventQueueOwner immediately after +XOpenDisplay to let XCB own the event queue instead. Clients may not call +this function after processing any responses, as this will potentially lose +responses. + +We expect to have an RC2 release corresponding to the Xorg RC2 schedule, which +should include additional internal architecture enhancements, but no +user-visible changes. 1.0 final should match RC2. + +Other smaller changes in this release: +* correct ChangeLog generation +* support running lint and sparse +* Autoconf 2.60 +* fix man page for XUrgencyHint +* improve man pages for XGrabButton, XGrabKey, XGetWindowProperty +* new locales: as_IN.UTF-8, kn_IN.UTF-8, ml_IN.UTF-8, or_IN.UTF-8, + te_IN.UTF-8, ur_IN.UTF-8 +* on systems with both UNIXCONN and LOCALCONN, try unix if local fails +* fix sparse warnings +* ansify static functions + +-- Josh Triplett <josh@freedesktop.org>, Jamey Sharp <jamey@minilop.net> diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index e1aab918..c698cbd9 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ AC_PREREQ(2.57) AC_INIT([libX11], - 1.0.99.0, + 1.0.99.1, [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg], libX11) AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([Makefile.am]) @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ no) AC_DEFINE(USE_XCB, 0, [Use XCB for low-level protocol implementation]) ;; *) - X11_REQUIRES="xcb-xlib" + X11_REQUIRES="xcb-xlib >= 0.9.92" xdmauth="no" # XCB handles all auth AC_DEFINE(USE_XCB, 1, [Use XCB for low-level protocol implementation]) ;; |
