- OK folks - XaAES beta 5 is upon us....
-
- New stuff in this beta includes:
-
- o Mouse server finally becomes a device in this release - courtesy of James Cox's
- wonderful new all assembler mouse handling code. This gives much better double
- click detection, and also removes some busy waiting (giving a slight speed up).
-
- Outstanding GEM compatibility issues:
- o 'Live' window operations.
- o Accessory support.
- o File selector - major problem, gotta sort that out as first priority.
- o Better mono support.
-
- Other outstanding issues:
- o Window Manager API. As discussed on the XaAES mailling list, the
- underlying stuff is already in place to allow alternative window
- managers to load after XaAES. What should the API be like?
- o Docked toolbars - they're cool, and the widget structure of XaAES
- would make them dead easy to do.
- o Getting round to putting in Johan's GCC diffs (oops, missed them again - next time,
- I promise).
-
- If anyone fancies doing a re-build with sockets instead of pipes, I'd
- love to see it.
