Cogl 1.9.2 2011-11-23
• List of changes since Cogl 1.8.0
» Fix a crash while generating ARBfp code with layers containing a
NULL texture.
» Improvements to the mingw-fetch-dependencies script to work
without first needing to find a copy of config.guess.
» Translation updates.
» Ported more conformance tests from Clutter to be standalone Cogl tests.
» Adds experimental support for EXT_discard_framebuffer extension which
is important for good performance on PowerVR graphics hardware
» Adds experimental API to enable clipping to the silhouette of an arbitrary
2D CoglPrimitive
» Make the CoglTexture2DSliced API directly available as experimental API
» Adds a new feature checking API that's not limited to just 32 features
and also must be passed a CoglContext pointer so it's clear at what point
the features can start to be queried.
» Adds an experimental CoglMetaTexture interface that gives one simple
api for mapping meta-textures that aren't directly understood by the GPU
(such as sliced textures, atlas textures, sub textures) into low level
textures. This interface also gives us a single place to handle repeat
mode fallbacks, supporting clamp-to-edge, repeat and mirrored repeat.
» Make the CoglTextureRectangle API directly available as experimental API
» Adds experimental support for multisampling, which is where the gpu
calculates multiple samples per pixel and the final pixel is a weighted
average of those samples. For example you can expect that multisampling
with 4 samples per pixel would give similar quality to rendering at double
the resolution and then scaling that image down with texture filtering, but
the GPU can often do some tricks such that multisampling is faster than
doing that manually (known as supersampling)
» Make the CoglSubTexture API directly available as experimental API
» Added an n_indices argument to cogl_primitive_set_indices to avoid needing
to always call cogl_primitive_set_n_vertices() after using the api and
to make it less error prone to use the api.
» Ship a standalone cogl-xlib.h that must be included manually for any xlib
specific api because the Xlib headers so many numerous badly namespaced
symbols that it's not desireable to include them unless absolutely
required.
» Updated the Wayland support to work with the latest upstream interfaces.
» Add experimental CoglPipeline API for controlling the backface culling.
» Added a cogl_matrix_transpose() function
» Add experimental support for setting uniforms on a CoglPipeline. This
is in preparation for being able to associate snippets of GLSL that hook
into specific parts of the pipeline. We plan to eventually deprecate
CoglProgram but even in the meantime we would also recommend setting
uniforms on the pipeline now instead of the program.
» Adds experimental cogl_framebuffer_finish() api for explicitly synchonizing
the GPU with the CPU.

Cogl 1.8.0 2011-09-19
• List of changes since Cogl 1.7.8
» Started porting Cogl conformance tests from Clutter to be standalone
Cogl tests including tests for depth-state and backface culling.
» Added a new color mask conformance test
» We no longer implicitly define COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API in the
cogl-2.0-experimental.pc file cflags because the way pkgconfig works makes
it hard to then consume libraries depending on cogl-2.0-experimental.pc
with Clutter.
» Made progress re-factoring cogl-pipeline.c to be more maintainable by
starting to split the code up into more manageable pieces.
» We now bind the locale dir for the Cogl domain during init
» We now track backface culling state as part of CoglPipeline.

Cogl 1.7.8 2011-09-05
• List of changes since Cogl 1.7.6
» Getters for the display and renderer associated with context
» Getter for the number of supported texture units during fragment
processing. (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

Cogl 1.7.4 2011-07-20
===============================================================================
• List of changes since Cogl 1.7.2
» Optimize pipeline unparent operation using embedded lists instead
of using GList API.
» Remove the old matrix operation code we had before pulling in the
mesa based code, and flatten all our matrix utilities back into one
maintainable file.
» Expose cogl_framebuffer_get_red/green/blue/alpha bits to query
the precision for a framebuffer's color channels.
» Numerous reference manual updates
» Fix some memory leaks in CoglPipeline that weren't captured in
bugzilla.
» Fix some EGL winsys issues that weren't captured in bugzilla.
» Switch to dynamically loading libGL, libGLESv2 or libGLES[v1]_CM
at runtime so it's possible to distribute a libcogl that can choose
to work with any of these at runtime. This can simplify packaging
on distros that have numerous packages that provide a platform
specific GL/GLES driver and certainly helps during the development
process when evaluating the pros-and-cons of different drivers for
a given platform.
» Clean up lots of inconsistencies with platform specific APIs, so
we follow the naming convention of cogl_<platform>_object_method.
» Remove cogl_set_default_context from experimental 2.0 api, since
we are aiming to remove the default context for 2.0
» Ensure the experimental 2.0 reference manual gets a unique
DOC_MODULE name so that distro's trying to package cogl don't end
up installing the 1.x and 2.0 manuals to the same location
» Add a program cache for the GLSL backend, a bit like we have for
the ARBfp backend. This can be a big boost in performance for some
apps depending on your platform.
» Adds dither_enable getter and setter API for CoglFramebuffer so
that Clutter doesn't need to use the GL API directly when picking.
We need to get to the point where Clutter doesn't need to link
against libGL directly so Clutter can take advantage of runtime
driver selection by Cogl.
» Use MESA_pack_invert extension in cogl_read_pixels to avoid
needing to manually flip pixel data read in bottom-up order to a
top-down order.
» Fix the hello example to actually clear the framebuffer at the
start of the frame instead of unintentionally relying on the driver
to have cleared the framebuffer.

Cogl 1.7.2 2011-07-01
===============================================================================
• List of changes since Cogl 1.7.0
» Add an example program to draw a 3D crate
» Add experimental API to get and set the viewport on a framebuffer
without going through the implicit context.
» Add API to select the winsys backend without having to use an
environment variable.
» Various documentation fixes.
» Add winsys-specific typesafe APIs to replace the old
cogl_renderer_handle_native_event functions.
» Rename platform-specific APIs so that we consistently have
cogl_<platform>_symbol_name instead of cogl_symbol_name_<platform>.
» Fixed building against GLES.
