Great news infact, I have been waiting for a new release for long time, keep up the good work Greg et al. :~)
The new screen driver framework is pretty nice, it will help port new screen drivers without the bilt headache. -- Althaf K Backer On 16 Dec 2010 04:56, "Greg Haerr" <g...@censoft.com> wrote: Hi, Nano-X Version 0.92 has been released from the git repository source code as of June 11, 2010. This release has been a long time in coming, and has a large variety of enhancements, speedups, and bug fixes. It is available from the website or this link: ftp://microwindows.org/pub/microwindows/microwindows-full-0.92.tar.gz In addition, NXLIB v0.46 has been released as of the May 17, 2010 git repository. Both Nano-X v0.92 and NXLIB 0.v46 are stable code prior to the larger architecture changes in the current repository. These current repository includes large speed improvements and driver consolidations from work started in v0.92, and will be detailed soon (available from git repo now). The 0.92 release is backwards compatible and retains all prior features and drivers, while the newer work is oriented towards 32bpp compositing for truecolor displays (15/16/24/32bpp). I want to give a big thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release, and sorry it's taken so long! The website has also finally been updated with more information and details on the Nano-X and NXLIB releases: http://microwindows.org Following is a short summary of Nano-X Version 0.92: New Ports Tomtom Linux port Sony PSD port (RGBA framebuffer support) 64-bit support (nano-X only) Linux AVR32 target Linux Blackfin target RTEMS 4.10 target iPod Linux target New Features FBE - Frame Buffer Emulator, allows simulation of 1,2,4,8,15,16,24,32bpp framebuffers on X11. Microwindows writes a shared memory framebuffer and the separate fbe process updates the display.
