5. Release Notes
5.1. Release 1.00
First release of WINNER 1000/2000 NGD graphic driver
5.2. Release 1.01
NGD_FONT_BOLD flag for bold text drawing added.
5.3. Release 1.02
Error with ngd_bitbltpg() function (calculating y coordinate)
fixed.
Error in ngd_getsysfontattr() function fixed (always returned
error code NDD_E_GD_NOFONT).
5.4. Release 1.04
Error with ngd_bitblt..() funktions (on overlapping bitmaps)
fixed.
5.5. Releases 1.05 .. 1.10
Adaption of NGD driver to WINNER PRO series (S3 Vision 864/964)
Since release 1.07 circles look more round (shorter line
increments).
5.6. Releases 1.11 .. 1.12
Error with video modes on WINNER 1000PRO and WINNER 2000PRO
fixed.
Filled polygon function changed driver internally.
Driver now runs with WINNER 1000PRO with SDAC too.
New WINNER boards supported now.
5.7. Releases 2.00 .. 2.03
Loadable text fonts are supported now. Please copy any font file
youn want to use with the driver to the ALLPLAN NDD directory
like
copy <fontname>.fnt %NEMDAT%\nem\v100\ndd\delsawin.fnt
The font may either be an ELSA Stroke128 vector font (scalable)
or a Windows 2.x|3.x bitmap font (non scalable). The Windows
font may be created by the Microsoft utility program FONTEDIT.EXE,
which is shipped with the MS Windows SDK or MS Visual C++ Software.
Sroke128 fonts can be created with the ELSA Font Toolkit.
An additional program "DELSAWIN.EXE" is shipped now with the driver.
This program detects an installed ELSA WINNER board and prints out
all 8bpp videomodes the driver and the board supports. The programs
output may be redirected to file. It has the same format as it is
used with the ALLPLAN configuration program, saved in file
"%NEMDAT%\nem\v100\ndd\graf.dat". The output of DELSAWIN.EXE can
be inserted directely into that file. That is what the NEMETSCHEK
ALLPLAN Graphic Configuration program will do in future.
Supports new ELSA graphics boards (WINNER 1000AVI|2000AVI|
2000PRO/X)
5.8. Releases 2.04
Supports new WINNER 1000PRO/X
5.9. Release 3.00
The driver is now based on ELSAs POWERlib high performance
graphics library, which provides highest drawing perfomance
and hardware compatibility to most of ELSAs WINNER graphics
boards.
The new WINNER 3000-S/-M/-L series (based on S3s ViRGE/VX)
is supported now.
Additional textfonts are now delivered with the driver.
Note!
Textfont DELSAWIN.FNT now resides in "%NEMDAT%\nem\v<num>\ndd",
and no longer in "%NEMDAT%\nem\v100\ndd" (which is true only
with ALLPLAN version 10). <num> is the current ALLPLAN release
number.
