Thanks for the patch. However, I'd like to propose a different approach to fix that issue. Instead of adding new event types it might be better to add a new event flag. This way it's compatible with older applications which expect press events and don't handle the new events. What about DIEF_REPEAT which is added to the event flags by the input driver? Newer applications can check if the flag is set for press events and old applications don't loose those events. Also, it's true that you can't "#ifdef DIEF_REPEAT", but adding extra macros and ifdefs in the header doesn't look good in my opinion. If an application developer really wants to support different versions of 0.9.23, he/she should add a check to the configure script of the application and define a custom macro. > PS: dok, congratulations!

Thanks a lot and congratulations, too! -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
