Louvre (1.0.0-1)

Added

  • Multi-GPU support is now available.
  • Introduction of LObject as the base class facilitates sharing future functionality among classes.
  • Pluggable scene and views system introduced for efficient rendering and handling of input events.
  • New LAnimation class for creating time-based animations.
  • New LTimer class for time-based triggered callbacks.
  • New LResource wrapper class for wl_resource structs; each protocol resource or global now has its own LResource subclass.
  • Developers can add or modify default compositor globals by overriding the LCompositor::createGlobalsRequest() virtual method.
  • New example, louvre-views, a MacOS X lookalike compositor that uses the scene and views system.
  • LOutput framebuffers can now be used as textures.
  • LOutput now supports framebuffer transforms.
  • New LRenderBuffer class for rendering into framebuffers and using them as textures.
  • Added support for XDG Decoration, Presentation Time, and Linux DMA-Buf protocols.
  • Libseat can now be enabled or disabled using the LOUVRE_ENABLE_LIBSEAT environment variable.
  • Single, double, or triple buffering can now be configured using SRM library environment variables.

Changed

  • LCompositor::start() method is now non-blocking; developers can control the rate of compositor events processing using the pollable LCompositor::fd() and LCompositor::processLoop() methods.
  • New directory structure for protocol interfaces located in src/lib/protocols.
  • Clients can now bind multiple times to the wl_seat global, resolving the Firefox issue where it could only receive pointer events.
  • Clients can now create a wl_data_device for each wl_seat.
  • Clients can now bind multiple times to the wl_subcompositor global.
  • ping() and pong() methods moved from XDG Shell to LClient class.
  • The DRM graphic backend now uses the SRM library.

Removed

  • X11 graphic and input backends are no longer supported.
  • LOutputManager class has been eliminated, and its functionality has been integrated into the LSeat class.
