Microwindows v0.89 is released, and available as two archives.
The source archive is
ftp://microwindows.org/pub/microwindows/microwindows-0.89.tar.gz
Truetype, T1Lib, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts are available at
ftp://microwindows.org/pub/microwindows/microwindows-fonts-0.89.tar.gz
This release adds many enhancements and bugfixes. Major enhancements
include support for X11 .pcf/.pcf.gz and MGL loadable fonts, Japanese
JISX0213 and EUCJP encoding/fonts, multithreading library support,
tiles, stipples, dashed line and non-rectangular window support. Bugfixes
for ARM architecture processors is also included. Many new demo programs
are now included.
The 0.89 release also supports the DVDVIEW and SMPEG digital
multimedia players, and the recently added support for Microwindows
in the SDL library. DVDVIEW supports single-threaded mpeg
display using direct client-side framebuffer access for highest speed.
These applications and libraries are also available on the Microwindows ftp site
ftp://microwindows.org/pub/microwindows/. The new CONTENTS file
identifies compatibility with all known external libraries and applications.
New APIs include:
GrSetGraphicsExposure, GrQueryPointer
GrNewBitmapFromPixmap, GrNewBitmapRegion, GrNewRegionFromPixmap
GrSetWindowRegion
GrGetTypedEventPred, GrGetTypedEvent, GrQueueLength
GrSetGCLineAttributes, GrSetGCDash, GrSetGCFillMode
GrSetGCTile, GrSetGCStipple, GrSetGCTSOffset
Thanks to everyone, especially Alex and Jordan, for outstanding contributions.
I plan on starting work on v0.90 immediately, as several large contributions
have
still not been fully integrated. This release is stable.
