Recent Activity

glamor: add EXT_gpu_shader4 support
Dave Airlie: This enables a number of the GLSL 1.30 paths on GPUs that have EXT_gpu_shader4 but don't have GLSL 1.30 exposed.

xfixes: Allow the client to upgrade the fixes protocol version
Adam Jackson: If you say FixesQueryVersion twice we remember whatever the second version number was.

xwayland/eglstream: Remove stream validity
Olivier Fourdan: To avoid an EGL stream in the wrong state, if the window pixmap changed before the stream was connected, we would still keep the pending stream but mark it as invalid.

modesetting: Add a limit on async page flip error log frequency
Povilas Kanapickas: In certain circumstances we will have a lot of flip errors without a reasonable way to prevent them.

glamor: Avoid using GL_QUADS on V3D
Jose Maria Casanova Crespo: Like in 0e3f1252dacdc3194 ("glamor: Avoid using GL_QUADS on VC4") this will avoid mesa to fallback doing conversion for QUADS primitives.

dix: Add optional terminate delay
Olivier Fourdan: When the command line option "-terminate" is used, it could be interesting to give it an optional grace period to let the Xserver running for a little longer in case a new connection occurs. This adds an optional parameter to the "-terminate" command line option for this purpose. v2: Use a delay in seconds instead of milliseconds (Martin Peres) v3: Clarify man page entry, ensure terminateDelay is always >= 0, simplify TimerFree().

Activity Earlier In The Year

xwayland: enable MIT-SHM shared pixmaps
Simon Ser: Allow X11 clients to create shared pixmaps via the MIT-SHM extension under Xwayland.

xwayland/eglstream: Keep a reference to the pixmap
Olivier Fourdan: Commit affc47452 - "xwayland: Drop the separate refcount for the xwl_pixmap" removed the separate reference counter for the xwl_pixmap which holds the EGLStream.

xwayland/eglstream: Dissociate pending stream from window
Olivier Fourdan: Previously, we would have pending streams associated with top level X11 windows, keeping temporary accounting for the pending streams before they get fully initialized for the xwl_pixmap which would be associated with X11 pixmaps. If the window content changes before the stream is ready, the corresponding pending stream would be marked as invalid and the pending stream would be eventually removed once the stream becomes ready. Since commit affc47452 - "xwayland: Drop the separate refcount for the xwl_pixmap", we no longer keep a separate reference counter for the xwl_pixmap, but rather tie it to the X11 pixmap lifespan.

xwayland/glamor: Add return status to post_damage
Olivier Fourdan: If the glamor backend failed to post damage, the caller should do the same to avoid a failure to attach the buffer to the Wayland surface.

present: fix msc offset calculation in screen mode
Łukasz Spintzyk

xwayland: implement pixmap_from_buffers for the eglstream backend
Erik Kurzinger: Provides an implementation for the pixmap_from_buffers DRI3 function for xwayland's eglstream backend.

meson: Make sure defines are either set to 1 or not defined
Povilas Kanapickas: This will make the behavior of meson consistent with autotools.

meson: Bump min meson version to 0.47 to get install_mode support
Povilas Kanapickas

meson: Make sure XKM_OUTPUT_DIR has a trailing slash
Michel Dänzer: RunXkbComp passes an invalid file path to xkbcomp if there's no trailing slash.

xquartz: Apply Xcode 12.4 automatic updates to nibs

Povilas Kanapickas: This is useful for mock input drivers that control the server in integration tests.

modesetting: Add CTM RandR property
Aaron Plattner: When the "CTM" (color transform matrix) modesetting property is available, create a corresponding RandR property.

Check SetMap request length carefully
Matthieu Herrb: Avoid out of bounds memory accesses on too short request.

xwayland: Add new pkg-config variable for listenfd
Olivier Fourdan: Since commit b3f3d65e, xwayland now supports the command line option "-listenfd" for passing file descriptors and marked "-listen" as deprecated for this specific purpose.

xwayland: Add wheel axis to relative pointer
Olivier Fourdan: The relative pointer only has 2 axis, if we want to route the mouse wheel events to that device, we need to add the axis definition, similar to what is done for the absolute pointer.
