Hi all, This is a heads up that we're currently considering the idea of biting the bullet for this next development cycle and seeing if we can shoot for Cogl 2.0!
We've been chipping away towards Cogl 2.0 for several years now and although there are still some important things left to do we do feel like we're approaching the last mile. How might this affect you? If we do commit to this the first change will be that we bump the version of cogl master to 1.99.1 and would immediately start dropping 1.x api. Most notably this would mean that Clutter will no longer build against cogl master and so people building Clutter would need to make sure they switch to the cogl-1.10 branch instead. This is the main reason we wanted to put this email out first since we don't wan't to cause a big disruption for others. What about Cogl 1.x? We fully intend on maintaining Cogl 1.x in parallel with the 2.x development given that our main user is still Clutter currently which will depend on the Cogl 1.x api until Clutter 2.0. Although we would initially be aiming to get 2.0 ready within 6 months to align with the gnome release schedule if that turns out to not quite be possible there is still a chance that we would release a 1.12 in 6 months instead. If anyone has any feedback or questions about us doing this please say, though please be aware I've cross posted this to a few mailing lists so it may be best to just reply to the cogl mailing list. Also of course anyone interested in helping us out and providing feedback on Cogl itself we'd love to work with you to make sure Cogl 2.0 is really nice api for everyone! kind regards, - Robert _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
