Since the Cogl 1.18 branch is actively maintained in parallel with the
master branch; this is a counter part to commit 1b83ef938fc16b which
re-licensed the master branch to use the MIT license.
This re-licensing is a follow up to the proposal that was sent to the
Cogl mailing list:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001465.html
Note: there was a copyright assignment policy in place for Clutter (and
therefore Cogl which was part of Clutter at the time) until the 11th of
June 2010 and so we only checked the details after that point (commit
0bbf50f905)
For each file, authors were identified via this Git command:
$ git blame -p -C -C -C20 -M -M10 0bbf50f905..HEAD
We received blanket approvals for re-licensing all Red Hat and Collabora
contributions which reduced how many people needed to be contacted
individually:
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001470.html
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2014-January/001536.html
Individual approval requests were sent to all the other identified authors
who all confirmed the re-license on the Cogl mailinglist:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2014-January
As well as updating the copyright header in all sources files, the
COPYING file has been updated to reflect the license change and also
document the other licenses used in Cogl such as the SGI Free Software
License B, version 2.0 and the 3-clause BSD license.
This patch was not simply cherry-picked from master; but the same
methodology was used to check the source files.
This adds two new configuration environment variables:
COGL_DISABLE_GL_EXTENSIONS and
COGL_OVERRIDE_GL_VERSION
The variables can also be set in the cogl.conf file using the same
names.
The first one is a list of GL extension names separated by commas.
When set Cogl will assume any extension listed here is not available
by removing it from the string returned from
glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS). If the string is set in both the config
file and the environment variable then the union of the two lists will
be used.
The second overrides the value returned from glGetString(GL_VERSION).
If the string is set in both places the version from the environment
variable will take priority.
These are sometimes useful for debugging Cogl to test the various
combinations of extensions. It could also be useful to work around
driver bugs where an extension is badly supported and it would be
better not to use it.
The variables in cogl-config that just set a global char * variable
have been put together in an array instead of having a separate blob
of code for each one in order to make it simpler to add new variables.

(cherry picked from commit ec69c2dc576c78664e0b73879365cb7414ecf441)
When cogl initializes we now check for a cogl/cogl.conf in any of the
system config dirs (determined using $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS on linux) we then
also check the user's config directory (determined using XDG_CONFIG_HOME
on linux) for a cogl/cogl.conf file. Options specified in the user
config file have priority over the system config options.
The config file has an .ini style syntax with a mandatory [global]
section and we currently understand 3 keynames: COGL_DEBUG, COGL_DRIVER
and COGL_RENDERER which have the same semantics as the corresponding
environment variables.
Options set using the environment variables have priority over options
set in the config files. To allow users to undo the enabling of debug
options in config files this patch also adds a check for COGL_NO_DEBUG
environment variable which will disable the specified options which may
have been enabled in config files.
