Buffer sent to controller is still 256x128. - framebuffer: fixed compiler error on 64bit systems (thanks to Malte Schröder) - serdisp: updated serdisplib driver (thanks to Wolfgang Astleitner) - added simple network driver (not complete) that sends the current display content as and hey string to connected clients - link against libpthread - fixed some default values to be consistent with comments in graphlcd.conf - tools changes: - convpic: adapted to changes related to new base class cImageFile - convpic: use classes from glcdgraphics lib for glcd file conversion - convpic: added pbm support - crtfont: use cFont class methods to save in FNT format - genfont: use cFont class methods to load freetype2 supported fonts - genfont: use cFont class methods to save in FNT format - showpic: call SetBrightness method - showpic: changed setting of brightness to use value from config structure - new tool lcdtestpattern to display a test pattern on a LCD (thanks to Alexander Rieger) 2006-01-15: Version 0.1.3 - Added a major.minor.micro version to the libraries starting with 1.0.0 - Moved usage of DESTDIR from serveral Makefiles to Make.config (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Moved Freetype2 dependency from Make.config to Makefile of libglcdgraphics (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Creating an additional symlink for the library files to be found during making the tools that need them (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Updated serdisplib driver (thanks to Wolfgang Astleitner). - KS0108 driver: Added an alternative way of setting the display control lines (same as in old versions). It is selectable through graphlcd configfile parameter "Control". - Using default values for width and height in case they are zero, too (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Added cSerialPort class. - Added driver for my AVR controlled display. 2005-09-17: Version 0.1.2 - split off drivers from graphlcd plugin to GraphLCD driver library (libglcddrivers) - split off graphics and font handling from graphlcd plugin to GraphLCD graphics library (libglcdgraphics) - split off tools from graphlcd plugin to GraphLCD base package - almost completely rewritten graphics and font handling - added configuration file to hold the driver-specific options - changed driver interface - adopted the tools' code to use the new driver and graphics API - glcddrivers: new driver noritake800 for Noritake 800(A) series displays (thanks to Lucian Muresan) - glcdgraphics: fixed a NULL-pointer exception in cBitmap::DrawCharacter when skipPixels is equal to width of the character and SubBitmap returns NULL, which was not tested for (thanks to Malte Schröder for reporting this one) - glcdgraphics: fixed a wrong return value in cBitmap::DrawCharacter in case skipPixels > 0 which prevented scrolling from working right. - now compiles with gcc 2.95 and gcc 3.x - added missing #includes - new tool showtext: allows showing a text on the LCD, see README.showtext for details. - glcddrivers: fixed a too early port release in sed1330 driver (thanks to Matthias Huber) - glcddrivers: sed1330: added missing horizontal scrolling initialization. Now, there should be no displaced display any longer. (thanks to Wolfgang Astleitner) - glcddrivers: Now serdisplib is loaded dynamically using libdl. So, no INCLUDE_SERDISPLIB define is needed any longer (thanks to Wolfgang Astleitner) - glcddrivers: fixed gu256x64-3900 driver: Now sizes other than 256x64 should work. (thanks to Detlef Ruge and Ralf Müller) - glcdgraphics: fixed a bug in cBitmap::DrawText that prevented scrolling from working. - glcdgraphics: fixed a bug in cBitmap::SubBitmap. - glcdgraphics: changed the interface of DrawText and DrawCharacter of cBitmap class. - glcdgraphics: extended font attributes to better support converted true type fonts. Also changed font file format to support this attributes. - glcdgraphics: the lastChange attribute of cImage now is 64 bits wide. - crtfont: extended it to support the new font attributes - crtfont: changed file format of description files. Now the font attributes are given by its names, p. e. lineheight:20. Look in README.crtfont for details. - new tool genfont: allows converting of true type fonts to GraphLCD fonts using freetype2 library. You have to uncomment HAVE_FREETYPE2 in Make.config to use it. - added new fonts verdana and verdana bold in sizes 9 to 29 converted by genfont. - glcdgraphics: Added additional type casts to std::min calls to make it compile on x86-64 (thanks to Stefan Bergler). - glcddrivers: fixed a bug in serdisp.c. When using direct IO the port string was truncated (thanks to Stefan Bergler). - glcddrivers: Added method cConfig::GetConfigIndex for getting a configuration by its name (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Added some $(DESTDIR) all over the Makefiles (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - glcddrivers: sed1330: Added setting of CS line in 6800 mode (thanks to Wolfgang Astleitner). - glcdgraphics: Added FreeType2 support based on patch by Lucian Muresan. - You have to set HAVE_FREETYPE2 in Make.config to enable this - Added some helper functions to GLCD::cFont class - glcddrivers: ks0108: Improved timings: Made setting of display control lines like defined in the controller's data sheet. This fixes problems with some display types. Thanks to Matthias Breitbach for providing a LCD of that type. - glcddrivers: gu256x64-3900: - Corrected calculation of m_nTimingAdjustCmd. - Added a test for RefreshDisplay config value to prevent a floating point exception to occur when it is set to zero.
