(ClutterGst needs to know this for example to know if GLSL + based YUV->RGB color space conversion can be used.) + » Optimizations for the GLSL codegen for fragment processing so we can + ignore redundant layers - if for example the "REPLACE" function is used + for layer N then computing anything for previous layers is redundant. Also + if texture combining needs to sample the same texture multiple times we + now re-use the same sample instead of repeating it. + » Optimize texture uploads to a texture atlas on GLES by avoiding lots of + redundant format conversions. + » Relax the requirement to need braces around blend factors when using the + CoglBlendString syntax. Braces are only needed for factors involving a + subtraction like "(1 - SRC_COLOR[A])" + » Adds API for querying the format of a CoglFramebuffer + + • List of bugs fixes since Cogl 1.7.6 + + https://bugzilla.gnome.org: + + #656426 - Improve the generated GLSL code + #656441 - Build failure in examples + #656587 - Outdated FSF Address in code files + #657347 - Retrieve the number of texture image units + #657840 - Atlas-ed bitmaps converted too many times + #656809 - cogl 1.7.6 doesn't compile on Fedora 16/17 + +Many thanks to: + Damien Lespiau + Neil Roberts + Emmanuele Bassi + Cogl 1.7.6 2011-08-12 ===============================================================================
