Cogl 1.9.6 2012-02-21
• List of changes since Cogl 1.9.4
» New conformance tests or tests ported from Clutter:
test-offscreen
test-primitive
test-texture-3d
» New public experimental functions:
cogl_pipeline_get_layer_texture
cogl_primitive_copy
cogl_primitive_foreach_attribute
cogl_primitive_get_indices
cogl_pipeline_get_layer_{min,max}_filter
» Added cogl_kms_renderer_get_kms_fd to get the KMS file descriptor.
» Bug fixed in the KMS support where it would crash on cleanup if it
couldn't save the CRTC state.
» Bug fixed in the Wayland compositor support where it would leak
EGLImages when creating a texture from a buffer
» The swap_buffer callback in GLX is now delayed until
cogl_poll_dispatch is called so that apps can handle it more
predictably.
» Fixes for bugs with pipelines that are trying to use a layer with
a NULL texture.
» New cogl_framebuffer_* API for drawing directly to the framebuffer
without having to push the framebuffer. Ideally we want to move
towards this style of API in future with no global stacks.
» Most of the _EXP suffixes have been removed from the experimental
API symbols in the hope that the gtk-doc unstable annotation will
be enough to distinguish these.
» Add a COGL_DEBUG=winsys option
» CoglBuffer and CoglPrimitive now take an explicit CoglContext
argument in their constructor. We want to move towards getting rid
of the global context.
» Updates to the MSVC build support.
» Add cogl_pipeline_set_layer_null_texture(). This can be used for
base pipelines instead of having to create a dummy texture.
» Fix some bugs where Cogl was assuming there is a direct mapping
between the pipeline layer number and the GL texture unit number.
» In snippets, there are now always builtin sampler uniforms for
every layer of the pipeline. This makes it easier to write GLSL
that samples arbitrary units.
» The texture lookup snippet hook now gets passed the sampler for
the unit. The snippet can use this to sample the texture multiple
times.
» Some public constants for CoglPixelFormat have been removed
(COGL_UNPREMULT_MASK, COGL_UNORDERED_MASK and
COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_{24,32}).
» 30-bit pixel formats added.
» COGL_DEBUG=wireframes now correctly renders primitives using
vertex shader snippets.
» cogl_framebuffer_swap_buffers and friends have been renamed to
cogl_onscreen_swap_buffers.
» If the experimental 2.0 API is requested, as far as possible the
headers for the 1.0 API are no longer included. Define
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API instead if you want to mix both APIs.
• List of bugs fixed since Cogl 1.9.4
https://bugzilla.gnome.org:
#660188 - Color corruption with software rendering at 30-bit color depth
#668385 - Missing G_END_DECLS in cogl-poll.h
#668856 - Do not look for GLES2-only GLSL prototypes on GL
#668913 - The journal for an offscreen doesn't get flushed when
cogl_texture_get_data is called
#669368 - Reading back texture fails with Invalid operation + wrong image
#669785 - Build fixes for COGL master (1.9.x)
• Note the following conformance tests are currently failing with
the GLES2 driver but they were also failing in 1.9.4:
test_cogl_depth_test, test_cogl_sub_texture, test_cogl_texture_3d
