-TinyPTC x11 ChangeLog + Bug(Fixes) list.

-*** Note ***

-English isn't my native language. So, some grammar/spelling errors might have
-made their way into this document. You've been warned.

-20021208 0.7.3
-
-Fixed a typo in the python source and updated the documentation.
-
-20021207 0.7.2
-
-The perl script for the assembler include generation was replaced with a
-plain shell script in order to overcome the remote possibility of perl
-not being installed on the system TinyPTC gets built on. Now TinyPTC can
-be built as a python extension by using the excellent SWIG package, just
-use the 'python' target of the makefile and look at python_test.py.
-
-20020706 0.7.1
-
-Kevin Nickels (knickels@users.sourceforge.net) sent a patch for the BGR888
-converter that fixes the colour order on little endian platforms in the xlib
-target. A minor error in the documentation has been corrected, and the MMX
-assembly include file builder perl script has been slightly cleaned up.

-
-Fred Howell wrote the XVideo target handling code and was kind enough to send
-it in order to have that included in the major next release of TinyPTC/x11. It
-has been tested both on NVidia-based cards with their binary-only drivers, on
-ATI-based cards, and with Matrox-based ones, all of them under XFree 4.x. The
-XVideo target features realtime scaling on the windowed output (fullscreen
-support will be added on a later stage...), with a lightning fast MMX converter
-from RGB to YV12. Make sure to check it out!
-
-20011103 0.6.1
-
-Version 0.6.0 was entirely done during one long coding night, so a few bugs
-were present. Anyway, I made the C functions callable by C++ as well (tested
-with g++), the example configuration file now has some enabled #defines that
-let the example work flawlessly (otherwise it won't run if you haven't got
-low-res modes defined in your X configuration. I've got them in, that's why I
-didn't notice that...). Then, g++ complained on a few targets for some
-duplicated variable definition. That's funny, gcc didn't complain. By the way,
-I also tested the whole package with GCC 3.0.1, and it works fine. So, this is
-mostly a "cleaned up" version.
-
-20011102 0.6.0
-
-After nine months, I found the time to work again on TinyPTC/X11. Big changes
-this time... First of all, now TinyPTC/X11 is released under the LGPL license,
-then I (finally) added DGA 2.0 support, although its heuristic stuff for best
-videodepth choice isn't tested at all, since my hardware supports 32bpp
-natively (if it doesn't work, please tell me, so I can attempt to fix the
-problem). Then, I splitted all the various targets in a source/header pair of
-their own, in order to improve manteniability and easy new targets addition.
-Currently you compile and link all the various targets even if you use only
-one of them but don't worry, because with some kind of #define magic and a fair
-job done by strip, the executable size won't grow at all. The makefile has been
-reworked in order to use automated dependencies and for generate automatically
-the NASM includefile for mmx.s from mmx.h. Then, I had to change a variable
-name in the supplied example due to clashes with a function with the same name.
-Oh, I also added DBE support, if you need it. Of course the documentation has
-been updated and the makefile now creates a static library called libtinyptc.a
-that can be included in your own programs without having to recompile tinyptc
-all the time. Have fun!.
-
-20010206 0.5.1
-
-The makefile now contains a different optimization flag, now the executable is
-a bit smaller (at least on my box). I updated the documentation, too (I forgot
-to add the __PTC_MEMCPY__ #define). Added a cleanup callback function, in order
-to let it be a bit more programmer-friendly. Now you can use PTC_SUCCESS and
-PTC_FAILURE in order to check the results of the TinyPTC functions you call.
-Documentation now contains NetBSD compilation workaround.
-
-20001027 0.5
-
-The mmx converters were added and the makefile was cleaned up in order to be
-a bit more flexible and to support the external assembler code. I left out a
-debug fprintf somewhere in the DGA code, now it's just history. The
-documentation was updated, too. Nothing more to say, over and out.
-
-20001306 0.4
-
-Bugs are calling... And we're supposed to fix them. There was a glitch in the
-32bpp->15bpp conversion code, thanks to tolemaC/Elerium Core for the bug
-report. Now the 24bpp conversion modules should work for big-endian machines as
-well. Try them if you've got such a system and then tell us.
-
-20000531 0.3.1
-
-Sometimes, fixing a bug, brings another one in. Well, now the only thing that
-worked was the 32bpp code. Strange, isn't it ? ;) Anyway, this is fixed now.
-
-20000527 0.3
-
-TinyPTC was developed again after a little pause. Great news this time... I
-added color conversion and it seems to work quite well, too. It's rather slow
-but I think that some compiler optimizations can speed it up a bit as well. If
-it's still too slow for you, feel free to write your own converters and submit
-them to Gaffer =) As an added bonus, the 24-32 bpp dilemma seems to be
-disappeared... Maybe it's fixed, try and see. Tell me if there's something that
-doesn't work.
-
-20000508 0.2
-
-TinyPTC was rewritten from scratch (literally), now the sources are easier to
-read and I threw some comment in, too. The XShm support is finished and seems
-to work. Tell me if I'm wrong about that. The DGA part wasn't working properly,
-it blarfed on the fullscreen-emulation blit code, now it works again. I also
-added a 'best-fit' videomode switch logic for fullscreen-emulation code.
-
-20000505 0.1.1
-
-Some kind of preliminary XShm support is now included. There wasn't an UID
-check for DGA mode (it needs Root access in order to access video memory
-directly). I forgot to include it when I joined the two x11 sourcetrees
-together (windowed and DGA). The bitdepth is incorrectly reported as 24 even on
-32bpp servers. Strangely enough, my server correctly reports 32bpp.
-The pitch value calculation method is wrong. On some cards the assumption
-pitch=width*bpp isn't true (TNT cards for example but not Banshees). Damn, I'm
-so lame... =) I was calculating it with the logical screenwidth of the
-resulting viewport instead of calculating it with the physical screenwidth
-returned in the videomode info. The makefile was modified in order to include a
-check to "tinyptc.h" during the 'make' operation.
-
-20000503 0.1
-
-Initial release. Supports X11 Windowed and X11 DGA access. No color
-conversions, just a bare bones emulation of the windows version.
