DirectFB for Coolstream HD1

DirectFB-1.4.2.

With a library DirectFB is available with which applications can easily access the framebuffer. The GTK library has been ported already on this interface. XDirectFB with an X server that allows exist, normal X applications in addition to real DirectFB display applications. OpenGL software rendering on Mesa is also possible.


The full list of changes is:

API changes
- Add application_id to a window with IDirectFBWindow_Set/GetApplicationID.
This is a free-to-use parameter that, on change, results in a WM callback.
- allow the window config value "color" to colorize the window
- Fonts/Colors: API support for colors and multiple layers in a glyph implementing outlines.
Added DFBColorID and DCID_PRIMARY, DCID_OUTLINE
Added IDirectFBSurface::SetColors() that takes an array of IDs and an array of DFBColor
Added DFFA_OUTLINED for loading a font with support for outlines
Added DFDESC_OUTLINE_WIDTH and DFDESC_OUTLINE_OPACITY
Added outline_width and outline_opacity to DFBFontDescription
Added DSTF_OUTLINE that activates the outline per DrawString()

core
- Simplified font rendering in core using the current state instead of its own

drivers
- fbdev: fixed RGB fields sizes in dfb_fbdev_set_gamma_ramp
- pxa3xx: new driver for the 2D graphics accelerator found on PXA3xx processors.
hardware acceleration supported for line drawing, blending/blitting,
rectangle and triangle filling operations and anti-aliased text.

gfx
- Bugs in pixel format convertion fixed (primarily 16 bit formats)
- converting to RGB32 sets alpha to ff
- buffer unlocking fixes in error paths
- add support for the DESTINATION Porter/Duff rule

DirectFB-1.4.3

The full list of changes is:
-----

Wrap up all the changes since 1.4.2 in a nice package.
The big changes are the API changes: new pixelformats are added, a synchronisation
mechanism is added so you can sync backbufferless window updates, and batchblit2 is added
whichs supports hardware with double input - single output blitters; even
automatically in conjunction with the window composer of SaWMan.

API changes
- added the following pixelformats: YUV444P, AVYU, VYU, ARGB8565
- add IDirectFBWindow::BeginUpdates() and DSFLIP_ONCE to sync updates without double buffer space
- add DWEF_REPEAT flag to signal key repeat
- font: correct documentation of ret_str_length in GetStringBreak()
- IDirectFBSurface: Added DSBLIT_FLIP_HORIZONTAL and DSBLIT_FLIP_VERTICAL
- added IDirectFBSurface::BatchBlit2 (no software fallback offered).
- names: Added DFBScreenEncoderFrequency names.

modules
- add ShutdownLayer() and ShutdownScreen() functions to allow proper driver clean-up.

core
- add several previously added API functions to voodoo.
- shirmish: for single app, make skirmish a pointer so skirmishes can be copied
- colorhash: Commented out annoying assumptions
- surfaces: allow no windows on surfaceless layers
- for non-flipping fullscreen primary surface, force initial update as no Flip() may come from application.

graphics
- Fix combined blend/xor for drawing and blitting
- generic: Added StretchBlit with DSBLIT_FLIP_HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL.
- generic: fixes for big-endian handling for NV12/NV16/NV21
- generic: fixes for Bop_rgb32_toK_Aop_64 and Bop_PFI_OP_Aop_PFI(StoK)
- gfxcard: don't call gfxcard functions in no-hardware mode
- convert: In dfb_pixel_from_color() for RGB32/24 apply 0xffffff mask to fix color keying
- added gfx driver module unregister to reclaim space of unneeded libraries.
- sh772x: support for the new MS7724
- pxa3xx: rewrite of the kernel - userspace interface
- X11: support 3 layers

build system
- now supports compilation with debian packages
- build fix for systems without dynamic library support
- support recent tslib versions
- configure: support uclinux by treating it similar to linux

test suite
- dfbtest_sync: Added StretchBlit() to random operations.
- dfbscreen: Added resolution and frequency switch.
- dfbtest_mirror: Added test that uses scale/mirror with destination color keing.
- dfbtest_window: Added WarpCursor test.

general fixes
- plugged several static memory leaks
- unused header file clean-up
- bump SDL system driver to 1.4.x
- font: fix an UTF-8 problem in GetStringBreak
- debug: prevent deadlock in stack trace with SaWMan active
- input: fix for event completion when missing key ID
- PNG: Don't use fast path if pixels have to be premultiplied.
