./x11/libxcb, X protocol C-language Binding

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.16.1, Package name: libxcb-1.16.1, Maintainer: reed

The libxcb package provides a replacement for the current Xlib interface.
Some of its advantages include:
- size: small library and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: one-to-one mapping between interface and protocol
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB

Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.

Log message:
libxcb: update to 1.16.1.

This release fixes build issues for Windows & NetBSD platforms.

For those building for 32-bit platforms, it also enables use of the
"large file" APIs - though xcb mainly uses stat() calls on sockets,
not normal files.

Since this release was generated using the new GNU autoconf 2.72, this
also adds a --enable-year2038 configure flag which may allow xcb to
work with sockets whose timestamps are later than January 19, 2038, but
this has not been tested.
