* Also cleaning up some kernel logging options here.
* You can log in as local or root with passwords local and toor
* Graphical sessions are still buggy, so don't kill that terminal.
* Fresh new wallpaper as a PNG from gnome-look:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Echo?content=137142
(By user hyperdude111, released as "do whatever you want")
* Terminal bug fix for --geometry option, which was derping on height
vs. width.
* Compositor bug fix for wallpaper app not showing up at the bottom.
Fixed by doing a better job of reordering the windows on a REORDER
call (which we weren't actually doing).
* Also some minor updates to the toolchain in general.
* Replacing the old bitmap wallpaper (not the actual wallpaper, but the
terminal one) with a fresh new wallpaper as a PNG.
* A minor bug has been fixed in bim's write_file method
* The VL Gothic fonts have been updated (and the proportional version of
the font is now included)
* The README and TODO have both been updated to reflect current plans.
:tabp and :tabn will switch between them.
:q will try to (fully) close the current tab, :q! will force it.
:qall will try to close all tabs; maybe I'll :qall! later.
- Write support!
- The widths of characters is now determined with freetype ;-;
I really wish wcwidth() was a real thing, but it's not.
This is a sacrifice that had to be made.
If you are building FOR Linux -rather than toaru- you might need to
poke at some things to make sure it builds, but in my experience it is
working just fine (and IMEs now work properly).
[ci skip]
It's an editor, but it is incomplete. For example, write is not
supported yet, so you can open existing files and make modifications,
but you can not save them. Use it as a fun little scratchpad, I guess.
\033[1003z will stuff them into stdin like 80,24.
This is a hack, just like the "disable local echo" hack used for
passwords and it should, ideally, be replaced with a proper system as
defined in POSIX for terminal control, but for, it works, and that's
pretty cool because it means `ls` can stop being stupid.
* 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.
- Can now register a userspace file descriptor as the output for kernel
print statements through kprintf()
- Can set logging levels for debug print messages, which are separate
from kernel log events and meant to be more readily visible. Log
events are recorded in a buffer to be viewed later, though nothing
actually using logging at the moment.
- Serial output is disabled by default now. You can enable it yourself
by appending the logtoserial argument to the kernel on boot.
This is an automated system by which we boot qemu headless and use the
serial line to capture output from a testing application that is started
on bootup, running with the VGA terminal shell. This might be expanded
to boot to the graphical display within VNC and perform more advanced
tests with the Python shim using a VNC module for Python; we'll see.
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".
It doesn't even need one; eventually, we'll have window management and
you'll just close the app. It should technically just sit in a loop
endlessly after rendering (or waitforsignal, which we don't have yet).
