-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Waffle 1.4.0-rc1 is now released and available for testing. This is a testing preview of the upcoming 1.4.0 feature release.
It's been a loooooong time since the last release (Waffle 1.3.0 happened in 2013!) and a lot has happened since then. Waffle now has a wflinfo utility, supports Linux DRM render nodes through the GBM backend, is packaged by several distributions, and has a proper issue tracker on Github. The most prominent change, in my opinion, as that Waffle has more active contributors than last year (namely Jordan and Emil). Since I've been out of practice of making releases, the release candidate will cautiously bake for a full week before the final release. If all goes smoothly, I plan to publish the final 1.4.0 tarballs on Monday 15 September. The next major release (2.0) will likely happen near the end of September this month. Emil has been working hard to add Windows support to Waffle and Piglit, and that needs to be packaged up and shipped soon.

New Features - ------------ * All platforms * wflinfo The new 'wflinfo' utility reports information about the system's OpenGL capabilities, similar to 'glxinfo'. See the documentation at [man:wflinfo.1] or [http://www.waffle-gl.org/man/wflinfo.1.html]. (Implemented by Jordan Justen. Chad Versace fixed some bugs and corner cases). * Linux * GBM backend gains support for DRM render nodes. Waffle's GBM backend will now use render nodes (/dev/dri/render*) if available. Otherwise, it falls back to 1.3.0 behavior and will use a DRI card device (/dev/dri/card*). Render nodes require a recent kernel; you may need to add drm.rnodes=1 to the kernel cmdline. (Implemented by Jordan Justen). * Debian packaging support. Waffle now contains a toplevel 'debian' directory that supports creation of Debian packages. Waffle packages are already available in Debian Unstable ("sid") as 'libwaffle-1.0', 'libwaffle-dev', 'libwaffle-doc', and 'waffle-utils'. (Debian packages are maintained by Jordan Justen). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJUDN2rAAoJEAIvNt057x8ihv0P/01+v0dMGzp1nBeLHode9Mc7 +THUOS7HGA1W0N6FpPGxkiOj4q+19A8QRSp/jyIot6YV4xev3Sby9NTt/vSQO21w MM8KNtXpFogim9M7EBn+iaCK6rn1vNLWWIOpdtgfRRJUky6NHNshYRSsfQUzT4hg sjfjZT8y3mRoswUAIUaXLcnm9Weng+o48zmMI/IC0NB0eFhmziswYv+eSuVbC5z6 xFJoiOsgLAOhfr1fxAk5xuDOpSKavnl/MVGYgnlUUcFQ7mzFaCtTnW/BINgvt9CC bUsy05wp5MFxNfWaNGeE8i6t69J1mc1WuIyaPk0jAzLGh6oMmX/E0hbyx/Xl5Qjr Mj4ApqbmWmpM8HPiJ2I6pE2x5iyVf2Tsj12kD6IDQyQ+bYAwj2lYxdzgPHQPhVXq rhrCTee0faV+KtYNpAH3Eadn1LLDRZnMgTCgKlRx6YYP9a6P4Wiym8vlwC3RShT4 /pEfLn4QDJ6fRNv7Pj/gjhFfEL5y4lboWFnHXegmZneWrSrTcPLEDwRTPX03UJ2u TUVpKHiy5oeqDWytE89uTjltwedem57h/3DsQ93NZAcF8Wi+kRi8BqsIQf2UIipm eVEmrmGzMTc0hhEY65YR016t7iMltuAVu9oeJLQcIxys0qZQv/yJX2Kytqttc013 BLU+8Ype9jC58XKtWBNN =WQHb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ waffle mailing list waffle@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/waffle
