cnhnln

释出计划 http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/X11R6970ReleasePlan
新功能 http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/ChangesSince68
7.1新功能提议 http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/ChangesForX11R71

今天正好想起来这个了，所以就去看了一下。没想到很快阿

cnhnln

整合了freetype 2.1.9、fontconfig 2.3.2、xft 2.1.7  
7.0和6.9的源码都一样，只不过7.0把不同的功能都模块化了

sunmoon1997

最值得一看的是这个-->
New EXA acceleration architecture, with experimental support in sis(4) (more to come)
希望 nvidia 跟一下, 哈哈。

cnhnln

可惜很多名词都不明白什么意思，像EXA、XRX、DPS
只看到改良了老的软硬件平台、增加支持了新的软硬件平台

cnhnln

哪位老大简单介绍一下吧，譬如日月兄

sunmoon1997

exa 是用来加速 pixman 操作的。

cnhnln

不只是exa阿
很多都看不懂，麻烦都简要介绍一下吧

cnhnln

不知道那个XvMC的效果最终会如何
我安装NV的驱动，用xvmc模式放dvd里的vob，cpu占用在15%左右，用xv在40%左右

cobranail

有代码可以下载，有没有兴趣下载了试一下？

Kyd

这样的话，粗、斜体就一并解决了？蛮好。

cnhnln

我们一起来给这个change做注可好？

Kyd

你来做工，我来监督

cnhnln

我来慢慢改，希望发布之前能完工

ChangesSince68

This is a quick list of the major changes that have happened in Xorg between the 6.8.0 and HEAD, in rough chronological order. HEAD also includes the usual collection of build and crash fixes.

• Individual extensions may be enabled or disabled on the command line using the -extension flag
• Improved chipset probing for IA64
• SecureRPC enabled on Linux by default
• Updated savage(4), including dualhead and experimental DRI support
• Updated XRX support
• Fixes to rootless mode for Cygwin and Darwin ports
• Numerous K&R-to-ANSI C conversions
• Many Darwin fixes
• Updated XvMC support, enabling generic loading of hardware-specific drivers
  XvMC——X-Video Motion Compensation（X-Video运动补偿）能够帮助解码压缩字节流，用以加速DVD、MPEG的回放。可以大幅降低中央处理器负担。 即使系统处理器频率不高(在 500 MHz 速度以下)的情况下，播放MPEG或DVD影片仍然十分地平滑
  本身需要硬件电路的支持
  (XvMC) X-Video运动补偿1.0需要GeForce4，GeForce FX和更新的产品才能够支持。GeForce4 MX，GeForce FX和更新的硬件支持XvMC的“IDCT”和“motion-compensation”级别的加速。 GeForce4 Ti只支持motion-compensation级别的加速
  在笔者的1.3GHz赛扬图拉丁和FX5200上，用xine的xv模式播放dvd，cpu占用在40%左右；xvmc模式时cpu占用在15%左右
  ATI（未知）
• Added wsfb(4) video driver for OpenBSD and NetBSD framebuffer consoles
• Numerous ATI driver updates from the GATOS project, including TV input support
• More support for enhanced visuals like 12-bit PseudoColor and 30-bit TrueColor
• Improved ProPolice support
• Updated nv(4) driver from XFree86
• via(4) updates from the Unichrome project, including DRI support
• i810(4) updates, including i915GM/E7721/i945G support and shadowfb support
• Improved module loader support for Alpha chips
• Added mingw port for native Win32 builds
• Updated PCI scanning
• Added DMA support to radeon(4) for Render and Xv operations
• Experimental DRI support for Radeon 9500 and above
• Updated xterm to #199 from upstream
• Added evdev(4) input driver for generic input handling on Linux
• Switched to libdl-based module loader
• Improved acceleration for sunffb(4)
• MMX blending routines for the Render extension
• sis(4) updates
• New sisusb(4) driver for USB-attached video
• Tiled framebuffer support for radeon(4)

• Disabled antique DPS extension
• Support for FreeBSD/powerpc
• Enhanced software Render core
• Support for more than 12 buttons in the generic mouse(4) driver
• Better support for DRI on 64-bit platforms
• Solaris support updates: enhanced mouse driver, agpgart support, experimental AMD64 support
• Output-only windows
• Non-rectangular mergedfb desktops
• Update bundled fontconfig to 2.3.2
• New EXA acceleration architecture, with experimental support in sis(4) (more to come)
• Added gradient, solid fill, and convolution filter operations to Render
• Support for XGI chipsets in sis(4)
• Xft updated to 2.1.7
• Include stack backtraces in logfiles when server crashes on glibc & Solaris systems
• Multiseat support
• xload made compatible with 64-bit kernels on Solaris
• Bundled Mesa upgraded to 6.3.1
