  • List of changes since Cogl 1.17.4

  » The license has been changed to the MIT license. This is more
    permissive than the previous LGPLv2 license and is still
    compatible with the GPL and LGPL. For more background on why we
    decided to make this change please see the following post on the
    mailing list:
    http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001465.html
  » GObject introspection support has been greatly improved.
  » Add cogl_kms_renderer_set_kms_fd to make the KMS backend use a
    non-default GPU.
  » Fix a hang in the Wayland backend if it can't find some globals
    that it needs.
  » Add cogl_gst_video_sink_get_natural_size to query a suggested size
    for a Cogl-GST sink
  » Add API to query the EGL and GLX contexts. This is intended to be
    used to make a shared GL context.
  » Fix advertising the deprecated buffer age feature flag on EGL.
  » Add a new non-deprecated feature flag for the buffer age.
  » Fix a bug with allocating textures in Cogl-GST.
  » Fix a bug with the cogl-basic-video-player example where it would
    try to use non-existant mipmaps.
  » Fix selecting the GL driver in the SDL2 winsys.
  » Updates to the MSVC build files.
