Rapicorn 12.08.0 is available for download: http://rapicorn.org/dist/rapicorn/rapicorn-12.08.0.tar.bz2 Rapicorn is a toolkit for rapid development of user interfaces for C++ and python development. Much is still in prototype/alpha development stage, but a strong set of foundation technologies has already been established. Everybody is free to participate with ideas, code or wiki contributions, and artwork (we still need a logo, and always need icons and SVG themes). The web pages and mailing list are found here: http://rapicorn.org https://groups.google.com/d/forum/rapicorn rapicorn googlegroups com Rapicorn 12.08.0: * Started publicizing widget interfaces in IDL. * Moved all UI handling into a separate UIThread. * Split client and server code generation from IDL. * Introduced client API smart handles and threading-separation. * Greatly improved IDL code generation, support client API signals. * Added IDL type generator for mmap-able type information. * Highly optimized generated glue code for method calls. * Use 128bit hashes for remote method lookups. * Include IDL files in documentation builds. * Optimized main profiling hot spots. * Rewrote event loop for high performance, allowing ~360k/s remote calls. * Optimized remote API calls by using a lock-free queue (ca. 10% faster). * Ported all rendering over to cairo. * Streamlined the rendering pipeline. * Added snapshots to, use: rapidrun --snapshot <PNGFILE> * Ported to g++-4.6, C++11 and std::thread. * Fixed container/viewport/window hierarchy. * Unified XML parsing logic with XmlNode API. * Implemented CSS selector matches on widget trees. * Added accurate time handling and benchmarking. * Greatly improved debugging output, added backtraces. * Switched to silent autotool builds. * Improved and cleaned up parallel builds. * Added debugging options, see: $RAPICORN=help * Scripted and streamlined release builds and uploads. * Rewrote X11 based unit tests, use Xephyr if available. * Various bug fixes, code cleanups and dead code removal. * Greatly extended the test suite, added more test automation means. * Documentation & example updates, see: http://dev.testbit.eu/rapicorn/12.08/ -- Yours sincerely, Tim Janik --- http://timj.testbit.eu/ - Free software Author |
