It's not clear what will be left, but at least most if not all interfaces will become optional modules. The core should also get smaller by doing further abstractions and keeping only the code for the minimal usage in the core, using modules for features where feasible. The core will also have a more public API (still not for applications) to allow integration where it has been difficult before. I'm also thinking about shared memory protection in Fusion2, maybe up to a degree where only raw pixel data is shared between processes, like an X server with XShm. It needs to be configurable and supported without too much overhead for selecting different security levels from totally restricted as described and all open as with 1.x. -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list directfb-dev@directfb.org http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
