- Builds (terrible, broken) shared versions of (most) third-party
dependencies for the userspace.
- Fixes several incorrect dependency mappings in auto-dep.
- Makes auto-dep understand shared libraries (and that some things,
like OSMesa, don't work with them).
- init must be built static because reasons
- some libraries were cleaned up to fix dependency calculation
- version bumped to 0.99.0 (saten) for eventual 1.0.0 release.
- CDs no longer drop teapot, select-wallpaper (space is available
for them - we could even make the images smaller)
- The kernel version has been bumped to 0.9.0
- The timer resolution in the kernel has been increased to millseconds.
- The preemptive scheduling interval has been descreased to one
millisecond.
- Relative sleep continues to use 10 millsecond intervals for legacy
reasons.
- `gettimeofday` now uses the internal tick counter to calculate the
current time. Drift is calculated from the CMOS every 5 seconds and
applies only to `gettimeofday` and other places that use it.
- The resolution of timing information provided by debug functions has
been increased to three digits (milliseconds).
- The resolution of timing information provided by the procfs uptime
virtual file has been increased to three digits (milliseconds).
- Functions have been added to the debug shell to read the TSC. The TSC
is not used in timing functions at this time.
This is a bit of a hack. /dev is presented as a new pseudo file type
until I finish the VFS overhaul. This fake file presents a directory
with entries for all of the VFS nodes that are children of it. The
future VFS will do this on its own, thus making this superfluous.
WARNING: THIS BREAKS PARTITIONS
Until I get partition maps and can produce device entries like
/dev/hda1, partitions will be broken, so DON'T TRY TO BUILD AN IMAGE
WITH THE IMAGE BUILDER.
Hopefully this is all rectified in under 24 hours...
The compositor itself still needs work, but the compositing engine
within now does full blitting and is faster than the old method.
Transparency is now supported properly, though telling the compositor to
use it on a window will degrade performance. One terminal is usually
okay, and everything runs faster than it did before; two terminals is
pushing it; three will make you very sad. The stacking logic has also
been updated. Presumably, alpha blitting for transparent windows could
be done with SIMD instructions and be extremely fast.
All graphics libraries have also been updated to (hopefully) work
properly with alpha bits.
