Changelog:
Qt 2.2.4 is a bugfix release. It keeps both forward and backward
compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 2.2.3
****************************************************************************
* General *
****************************************************************************
- Platform and Compiler fixes for AIX and BSDi. Building a Qt DLL with
the Borland Builder is again supported.

correctly.
- Image loading of PNG and GIF files is much more robust against broken
files.
- On X11, popup menus do not grab the keyboard anymore, but rely on
and enforce the application to have focus. This works around an X11
bug where deadkeys do not work while the keyboard is grabbed.

- Binary compatibility is NOT maintained with previous Qt/Embedded release,
you will need to recompile any old executables to use with this release.
- Source compatibility is NOT maintained with Qt/Embedded-specific functions.
You may get minor compilation errors if you have used previous
- QCopChannel now inherits QObject. If you have multiply-inherited a QObject
subclass and QCopChannel, you should instead connect your QObject to the
QCopChannel::received() signal.
- The identifier "TTF" in fontdir is now "FT". This reflects the fact that
the FreeType library supports Type1, Windows FNT, and other font formats
in addition to TrueType. FreeType 2.0.1 is now used (src/3rdparty/freetype).
- 16bpp support in QVFb.
- QDirectPainter experimental direct-video access.
Convert most MESSAGE files to new syntax (${VARIABLE} gets replaced,
not @VARIABLE@, nor @@VARIABLE@@).
By default, substitutions are done for LOCALBASE, PKGNAME, PREFIX,
X11BASE, X11PREFIX; additional patterns can be added via MESSAGE_SUBST.
Clean up some packages while I'm there; add RCS tags to most MESSAGEs.
Remove some uninteresting MESSAGEs.

Changelog:
- New plot subclasses for 3D and polar plots: GtkPlot3d and GtkPlotPolar.
GtkPlot3D has its own API, but GtkPlotPolar can be casted as a GtkPlot
considering the equivalence x->r, y->angle.
- GtkPlotData is a widget. The API is almost the same. You may have to
cast the widget using data = GTK_PLOT_DATA(gtk_plot_data_new());
- The other Data subclasses are Bar, Box, Flux, Surface and
CSurface.
- I added new arguments to the datasets (z, dz, a, da): z is obviously for
3d plots. However, it is used in GtkPlotBox to specify the size of the boxes.
"a" is used to determine the size of the symbols, and "da", the color.
- The color of the symbols, when "da" is specified, is detemined using the
gradient. the gradient has (min, max) values, and corresponding colors. The
symbol's color is interpolated between these values using hue/saturation/value
depending on the gradient_mask.
- GtkOrientation was replaced with GtkPlotOrientation
(GTK_PLOT_AXIS_X/Y/Z)
- the fields xticks and yticks were removed from gtkplot.
- GtkPlotSymbol has a new field GtkPlotLine border and you set/get the
attributes with gtk_plot_data_set/get_symbol
- I removed the symbol type: GTK_PLOT_SYMBOL_BAR, because this is a new
data subclass. I added TRIANGLE_LEFT/RIGHT and DOT.
- After gtk_plot_canvas_paint, you have to use gtk_plot_canvas_refresh to
refresh the pixmap in the window. This is because paint can be
used to print or save plots in other formats, depending on the GtkPlotPC
you are using (see below).
- The drawing engine, called GtkPlotPC has been rewritten. Now
it's a GtkObject, and you can derive subclasses as GtkPlotGdk and
GtkPlotPS in our case (You can define your own if you want to use a
different library to draw your plots!).
How does it work:
1) Instead of creating a GdkGC, you create either a GtkPlotGdk or
GtkPlotPS.
2) you do the following replacements:
gdk_gc_set_foreground -> gtk_plot_pc_set_color
gdk_gc_set_dash -> gtk_plot_pc_set_dash
gdk_gc_set_line_attributes -> gtk_plot_pc_set_lineattr
gdk_gc_draw_... -> gtk_plot_pc_draw_...
The output will be either on a drawable or a file according to the
GtkPlotPC you chose.
All the redundant code for the PS output in gtkplotprint was eliminated!
Elegant, isn't it?
- I also added a new widget: gtktogglecombo, a gtkcombobox subclass (See it
in action in testgtksheet)
- New demos are included.
aterm, version 0.4.0, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator, based
on rxvt 2.4.8 with Alfredo Kojima's additions of fast transparency,
intended as an xterm(1) replacement for users who do not require
features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style
configurability. As a result, aterm uses much less swap space --
a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.
It was created with AfterStep Window Manger users in mind, but is
not tied to any libraries, and can be used anywhere.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
during a normal build to reduce build times on slower platforms. Relevant
changes from version 1.0.9 include various bug fixes, less memory consumption
for colors, improvements to the code generation in fluid, and improvements to
the way scrollbars and buttons are handled. There is also the following GL
optimization for certain OpenGL implementations:
- Performance of Fl_Gl_Window may be improved on some
types of OpenGL implementations, in particular MESA
or other software emulators, by setting the
GL_SWAP_TYPE environment variable. This variable
declares what is in the back buffer after you do a
swapbuffers:
setenv GL_SWAP_TYPE COPY
This indicates that the back buffer is copied to
the front buffer, and still contains it's old
data. This is true of many hardware
implementations. Setting this will speed up
emulation of overlays, and widgets that can do
partial update can take advantage of this as
damage() will not be cleared to -1.
setenv GL_SWAP_TYPE NODAMAGE
This indicates that nothing changes the back
buffer except drawing into it. This is true of
MESA and Win32 software emulation and perhaps some
hardware emulation on systems with lots of memory.
All other values for GL_SWAP_TYPE, and not setting
the variable, cause fltk to assumme that the back
buffer must be completely redrawn after a swap.
This is easily tested by running the gl_overlay demo
program and seeing if the display is correct when
you drag another window over it or if you drag the
window off the screen and back on. You have to exit
and run the program again for it to see any changes
to the environment variable.
it. The handling of va_arg stuff in broken in xview-lib. In particular
an interested programmer could start looking at:
the MAKE_AVLIST macro in:
xview3.2p1-X11R6//lib/libxview/misc/portable.h
and some illegal casts of va_list variables in
xview3.2p1-X11R6//lib/libxview/color/cms_pblc.c
probably more....
Qt 2.2.3 is a bugfix release. It keeps both forward and backward
compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 2.2.2
****************************************************************************
* General *
****************************************************************************
- Platform fixes for Red Hat 7.0, Unixware 7, SCO OpenServer 5.0.5,
LinuxPPC, True64.
- Basic multihead support for MS-Windows 98/2000: Popup windows, tooltips
and What's This? help texts now appear on the correct screen,
QApplication::desktop() is now as big as the virtual screen.
- Documented previously internal QEmbed utility. The tool converts
arbitrary files into C++ code. This is useful for including image
files and other resources directly into your application rather than
loading the data from external files. You find it in qt/tools/qembed.
- X11 only: Fixed font sizes on higher resolution displays. When
asking for a specific point size, you should always receive a font
with an adequate pixel size depending on the dpi value of the
display. This was supposed to work before, but broke for certain cases
on XFree 4.x.
- Many minor bugfixes and small improvements, see detailed lists below.

- The libqt.* library file is now called libqte.* on Qt/Embedded so
you can easily have both Qt/X11 and Qt/Embedded installed on the
same system.
- 4bpp grayscale and 24bpp color is supported.
- Some additional Window Manager styles are provided.
- Setable "desktop" color/image.
- Performance improvements.
since I'm most familiar with the hack to include the LessTif X11 config
files. Relevant changes from version 0.91.8:
* Build/Install Uil libs and Headers (and tests) by default.
* Fixed some FontList interfaces to conform to the docs. Might fix
memory leaks as well.
* Ongoing work to use ANSI C89 as much as possible. Drop alternatives
being used (e.g. bcopy() and friends)
* The Motif 2.x Xme() funcs should now all exist in stubs at least; some
had already been "implemented" earlier.
* Build support for a Motif 2.1 compatible tree. This will soon replace
the 2.0 tree.
* Work in progres for creating XmPrint API. (2.1 functionality)
