cogl 1.9.6

[Neil Roberts <install-module master gnome org>]

About Cogl
==========

Cogl is a small open source software library for using 3D graphics
hardware to draw pretty pictures. The API departs from the flat state
machine style of OpenGL and is designed to make it easy to write
orthogonal components that can render without stepping on each others
toes. Cogl currently supports OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 and OpenGL > 1.3 (or
1.2 if you have the GL_ARB_multitexture extension), and having Gallium
or D3D backends are options for the future.

  • List of changes since Cogl 1.9.4

  » New conformance tests or tests ported from Clutter:
        test-offscreen
        test-primitive
        test-texture-3d
  » New public experimental functions:
        cogl_pipeline_get_layer_texture
        cogl_primitive_copy
        cogl_primitive_foreach_attribute
        cogl_primitive_get_indices
        cogl_pipeline_get_layer_{min,max}_filter
  » Added cogl_kms_renderer_get_kms_fd to get the KMS file descriptor.
  » Bug fixed in the KMS support where it would crash on cleanup if it
    couldn't save the CRTC state.
  » Bug fixed in the Wayland compositor support where it would leak
    EGLImages when creating a texture from a buffer
  » The swap_buffer callback in GLX is now delayed until
    cogl_poll_dispatch is called so that apps can handle it more
    predictably.
  » Fixes for bugs with pipelines that are trying to use a layer with
    a NULL texture.
  » New cogl_framebuffer_* API for drawing directly to the framebuffer
    without having to push the framebuffer. Ideally we want to move
    towards this style of API in future with no global stacks.
  » Most of the _EXP suffixes have been removed from the experimental
    API symbols in the hope that the gtk-doc unstable annotation will
    be enough to distinguish these.
  » Add a COGL_DEBUG=winsys option
  » CoglBuffer and CoglPrimitive now take an explicit CoglContext
    argument in their constructor. We want to move towards getting rid
    of the global context.
  » Updates to the MSVC build support.
  » Add cogl_pipeline_set_layer_null_texture(). This can be used for
    base pipelines instead of having to create a dummy texture.
  » Fix some bugs where Cogl was assuming there is a direct mapping
    between the pipeline layer number and the GL texture unit number.
  » In snippets, there are now always builtin sampler uniforms for
    every layer of the pipeline. This makes it easier to write GLSL
    that samples arbitrary units.
  » The texture lookup snippet hook now gets passed the sampler for
    the unit. The snippet can use this to sample the texture multiple
    times.
  » Some public constants for CoglPixelFormat have been removed
    (COGL_UNPREMULT_MASK, COGL_UNORDERED_MASK and
    COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_{24,32}).
  » 30-bit pixel formats added.
  » COGL_DEBUG=wireframes now correctly renders primitives using
    vertex shader snippets.
  » cogl_framebuffer_swap_buffers and friends have been renamed to
    cogl_onscreen_swap_buffers.
  » If the experimental 2.0 API is requested, as far as possible the
    headers for the 1.0 API are no longer included. Define
    COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API instead if you want to mix both APIs.

    https://bugzilla.gnome.org:

    #660188 - Color corruption with software rendering at 30-bit color depth
    #668385 - Missing G_END_DECLS in cogl-poll.h
    #668856 - Do not look for GLES2-only GLSL prototypes on GL
    #668913 - The journal for an offscreen doesn't get flushed when
              cogl_texture_get_data is called
    #669368 - Reading back texture fails with ‘Invalid operation’ + wrong image
    #669785 - Build fixes for COGL master (1.9.x)

  • Note the following conformance tests are currently failing with
    the GLES2 driver but they were also failing in 1.9.4:
    test_cogl_depth_test, test_cogl_sub_texture, test_cogl_texture_3d
