Subject: Nano-X version 0.91 released
From: "Greg Haerr" ####@####.####

Message-Id: <1e5201c568bf$35bd7c60$6401a8c0@winXP>

Hi,
    I've finally released Nano-X version 0.91, which is available at
ftp://nano-x.org/pub/microwindows/microwindows-src-0.91.tar.gz
This is a smaller source-only download not including all the fonts. (1.77M)

The 0.91 fonts distribution is available as
ftp://nano-x.org/pub/microwindows/microwindows-fonts-0.91.tar.gz

The combined distribution is available as
ftp://nano-x.org/pub/microwindows/microwindows-full-0.91.tar.gz

Note there's a slight filename convention change for the base
source-only package, which now uses -src-.

Major changes for this release include an enhanced make system,
allowing multiple architectures to build, with specifiable binary
and object directories, keeping the source read-only, and various
font subsystem fixes (mainly PCF and FNT).

I'll be appointing multiple maintainers with CVS write access
so the patches I've received can be integrated into 0.92
without waiting for me to commit everything.  These patches
are available for inspection at
ftp://nano-x.org/pub/microwindows/patch-0.92/

The ChangeLog for this release is:

Version 0.91 - 3 June 2005 (based on 28 Feb 2004 CVS) - ####@####.####
 * added changes for updated port to RTEMS 4.6.0pre5 (Andrey)
 * split devimage.c into individual decoder image_*.c files (Jonathan)
 * made changes to compile with uClibc/buildroot v0.9.23
 * added NATIVETOOLSPREFIX to allow multiply hosted local compilers
 * fix TIF image decoder (added alpha channel bit)
 * allow freetype 2 support from mem buffers w/o file i/o (Jonathan)
 * fixed convbmp.c for bigendian systems (Jonathan)
 * added hardcoded fnkey support to non-scancode tty driver (Jonathan)
 * fixed various Makefiles for proper NANOWM, NANOX, NANOXDEMO builds
 * added quick clean mechanism when obj/ dir specified seperately
 * changed default object directory to obj/ next to bin/ and lib/
 * reduced libraries required for nano-X and win32 api links (Jonathan)
  nano-X requires only -lnano-X regardless of LINK_APP_INTO_SERVER
  win32 requires only -lmwin; obsolete mwinlib, mwengine,
   mwdrivers, mwfonts for now, CHANGE MAKEFILES!
 * revised Makefile system, Path.rules allows mult arch makes (Jonathan)
  also allows bin, lib and obj directories to be separate:
  e.g. "make MW_DIR_BIN=... MW_DIR_LIB=... MW_DIR_OBJ=...
   CONFIG=..."
 * changed default freetype 1 include dir to /usr/include/freetype1
 * changed default vncviewer password to "password"
 * added check for "Exif" header in jpeg files for digital cam pics
 * fixed nested comments in mou_ser.c
 * fixed EUCJP output with MGL fonts for values > 256
 * patched nterm.c to work with uClinux (Mark)
 * fixed 32 bpp alpha framebuffer driver sign extension bug (Jonathan)
 * added IR trackpoint mouse support (LIRCMOUSE=Y) (Jonathan)
 * added two keyboard support w/lirc driver (LIRCKBD2=Y) (Jonathan)
 * fixed GdArcAngle problem with small angles becoming whole circle
 * fixed portrait-down mirror display problem (Matthias), also mouse
 * fixed .pcf file short offset problem with large fonts
 * fixed .pcf file incorrect width mapping bug w/certain fonts
 * fixed .fnt file font loader bug with certain fonts

Regards,

Greg
