I've added the patches received since 0.88pre6 and
have released another interim version, 0.88pre6b:
ftp://microwindows.org/pub/microwindows-0.88pre6b.tar.gz
The patches received consist mostly of bug fixes,
except for Erik's very cool implementation of alpha
blending for the X11 screen driver. Now everyone
can check out alpha blending for Microwindows on
their X11 desktop.
However, there seems to be a big problem in the X11
screen driver when running X in 8bpp mode: Microwindows
runs out of colors and starts returning BlackPixel from
XAllocColor: thus alpha blending doesn't work in 8bpp
mode. In addition, the t1demo.sh has the same problem.
If anybody volunteers to fix this problem in the X11 driver,
that would be GREAT!
I've also made some small changes for the Kaffe port
in progress, and started porting a minesweeper game.
Attached is the ChangeLog:
Version 0.88pre6b - 5th April 2000 - ####@####.####
* added PostThreadMessage
* started porting minesweeper game
* fixed -p persistent mode
* added Kao's BC 5.02 fixes, other pre6 fixes from name changes
* added Steven's patch for polling drivers, HAVE_PERROR config option
* added Erik Hill's alpha blending for X11
* fixed jpeg compile bug
* removed include <asm/io.h> patch from Shane
Have fun!
Regards,
Greg
