* Some applications now support UTF-8 text through the use of a very
simple decoder.
* The terminal uses a slow, but accurate method to determine the width
of a character the first time it is printed to the screen. Characters
are now stored in the terminal in two bytes, rather than one, and may
in the future be increased to 3 or 4 bytes to ensure support for
Unicode supplemental planes.
* A simple font-fallback method is employed in the applications that
support unicode that will make use of the VL Gothic fonts if the
DejaVu font does not have a character. No guarantees are made for
support of writing systems other than extended Latin and Japanese.
* Finally bring syscall.h up to speed and include all syscalls in the
syscall module of the C library.
* Remove the third-party obfuscated C demos (we have nyancat, good
enough)
* Fix userspace apps to build without complaining about undeclared
strtok_r by disable __STRICT_ANSI__
* Fix .eh_frame by including the proper stuff with libgcc.
All graphics library commands now take a gfx_context_t pointer, which
points to a simple datastructure describing a rendering context (width,
height, depth, total size, front buffer, backbuffer; where backbuffer =
front buffer when not in double-buffering mode, thus we always render to
backbuffer except on a flip). This may have caused a minor speed
reduction, but I don't really care as it's far more important that we
support multiple graphics contexts.
TODO:
- Shared Memory Fonts library (there are a couple of apps that use these
so-called "shmem fonts" on their own; we need a dedicated library for
them)
- Break off "TTK" GUI toolkit into its own library. Since it's just a
callback-based button framework, this shouldn't be too hard right now.
Also, with the previous tick, I'll be able to put labels on controls
and start using text in more places.
We know longer accept DAMAGE and REDRAW commands. Instead, we just loop
and redraw everything anyway (efficiently, mind you). Pipes still have
issues when closed and various other different things.
Still need to pass sizes around to shm_* functions as a pointer rather
than the actual size so we can retreive sizes; additionally, *p = 0
should mean "we don't want to create this buffer, we only want to
access it if it exists".
