This file lists the history of changes to the grx source files from
the 2.2 version.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Date     Changes

07/08/29 ----------- GRX v2.4.8 released (Maurice Lombardi)
07/08/29 Sanitized win32, eliminating WM_SIZE events
07/08/27 Add Sleep(5) to setrgbpalette for win32 which sends WM_PAINT to 
         redraw whole screen. Compare PlayRGBpalette() in test/bgi/bccbgi.c
         Add Sleep(1) when no more W32events queued to yield control
         when looking for grx events by M. Lombardi.
07/08/21 Correction to WM_PAINT in vdrivers/vd_win32.c: GetUpdateRect() gave
         wrong UpdateRect -> few missing chars in text drawing, by M. Lombardi
07/08/17 Change to text/fontpath.c and text/loadfont.c to allow the syntax
         /dev/env/DJDIR in djgpp when loading fonts by M. Lombardi
07/08/07 Correction to test/test.h to enable test/scroltst to run as expected.
07/08/05 Eliminate WM_PAINT in mouse/w32inp.c to enqueue GR_OS_DRAW_REQUEST.
         Too frequents, they produced saturation of the GRX event queue and 
         gobbling of keybord/mouse events. Compare responsivity of
         test/mousetst.c, test/bgi/bccbgi.c, pascal/bgi/demo.pas by M. Lombardi
07/08/01 The X11 driver now responds to Expose events by using a pixmap 
         for backing store. But this slows it down. You can recover
         previous behaviour (faster but no response to Expose) by editing 
         src/include/libxwin.h and setting USE_PIXMAP_FOR_BS to 0.
	 Backported from Mariano's MGRX by M. Lombardi.
07/07/30 various improvements in makefiles, demo.pas, test/speedtst.c 
         by M. Lombardi.

07/04/06 ----------- GRX v2.4.7 released (Maurice Lombardi)
07/04/06 updates in test/speedtst.c
07/04/05 change to bgi/bccgrx.c, so that all 32 bpp modes are considered
         by BGI as 16M modes (the extra byte is only for padding): this was
         the case for older drivers up to VESA which gave GrVideoMode->bpp=24
         in these cases (see lines 246-258 in vdrivers/vesa.c).
07/03/25 SDL driver (sdl-rc4-support.zip) by Dimitar Zhekov 28 May 2004
            with changes to makefiles/makedefs/configure
            and pascal support by Maurice Lombardi
07/03/16 inclusion of various corrections submitted to the list
            grx.diff-byteorder by Frank Heckenbach 31 May 2006
            grx-exitprocess.diff GRX app termination bug (winXP) 
               by Mario Zagar 15 Feb 2005
            grxfixes.zip by Dimitar Zhekov 24 Sep 2004
               fontdemo-res-fix.diff
               fontdemo-Y-fix.diff
               test-changes.diff
               win32-8bpp-cls-fix.diff (win32 setmode() clear screen problem)
               xfdga-detect-once.diff (xfdga avoid double detection)
            grx-w32events.diff (more W32 event handling) 
               by Peter Gerwinski 19 Jun 2004
            graphresult.diff by Andris Pavenis 8 Jan 2004
07/01/05 introduction of GR_PtrInt (integer of same length as a pointer)
         to suppress warnings (in fact errors) when compiling with
         x86_64 platforms,
         renaming sincos() to GrSinCos() in genellip.c to avoid
         name conflict with builtin, by M. Lombardi.
06/09/19 correction to bgi/text4.c to correct update of graphics
         pointer in vertical writing with outtext (was going in
         the wrong direction. BP does not update it at all,
         but this is stupid), by M. Lombardi.
06/09/11 correction to grx.pas (bar3d)
06/02/10 Better understanding of x86_64. Now by default an i386
         library is built even on x86_64 platforms. If you set
         BUILD_X86_64 to 'y' in makdefs.grx a x86_64 library is
         built, and the install target go to the lib64 subdir
         (backport from MGRX by M. Lombardi)
04/09/24 Added x86_64 support (backport from MGRX by M. Lombardi)
xx/09/05 Florian Xaver updated GRX to make it compatible with latest
         DJGPP/GCC.
05/03/08 correction to polytest.pas
04/09/27 more changes to graph.pas, jpgtest.pas, imgview.pas,
         by Frank Heckenbach.
04/09/17 more changes to grx.pas and graph.pas, by Frank Heckenbach.
04/06/06 more changes for same purpose by Peter Gerwinski.
04/04/25 changes to introduce:
         HAVE_UNIX_TOOLS, CROSS_PLATFORM in makefefs.grx and configure
         w32 (mingw32) target in configure
         corresponding changes in makefiles,
         by Frank Heckenbach and Peter Gerwinski.
04/03/28 changes in grx.pas to make it compile with recent versions of
         gpc, by Frank Heckenbach.
03/12/27 Close the framebuffer if DGA is compiled with framebuffer
         support, not without it, by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/12/27 Version 2 of the raw driver. Support for psf2. Better
         support for RAW: up to 16x32, assuming width:height 1:2
         (the previous code was always assuming width = 8),
         by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/12/27 Small bug in grxprint.c, by Andris Pavenis.
03/12/27 Version 2 of the libGRX DGA2 driver. Features set mode
         via DGA2 and rendering via Xlib or linear framebuffer,
         by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/12/27 Up to 200 the possible modes in the DGA2 driver, by Dimitar
         Zhekov.
03/12/27 A batch mode for speedtst. Usage: run speedtst to see the
         mode numbers, then "time speedtst MODE" or [4dos] "timer ^
         speedtst ^timer". Maybe "first" should be named "prompt",
         by Dimitar Zhekov.

03/07/17 ----------- GRX v2.4.6 released (Mariano Alvarez Fernandez)
03/07/15 fdv_win.c: the resource header fields must be swapped,
         not the data they "point" to, by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/07/15 Changed the default to 'n' for the USE_INOUTP_FRAMEDRIVERS
         switch in makedefs.grx
03/06/25 In the svgalib driver don't re-setting the initial mode if
         it's already set, by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/06/23 define alloca to __builtin_alloca in src/include/allocate.h
         to avoid warnings in Mingw with gcc 3.x. src/makefile.lnx,
         src/makefile.x11: don't link ADDON_LIBS for UTILP.
         src/stdobjs.mak: remove any duplicate definitions and
         trailing \-s. src/text/buildfnt.c: produce a more readable
         bdump() DEBUG output, by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/06/23 The GRX raw keyboard I/O can't be safely used in text mode.
         Fixed it in test/bgi/, by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/06/10 Small fixes, replaced some printf with DBGPRINTF, removed
         GrKeyPressed test in debug mode, it can't be used in all
         plattforms, by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/06/10 Small chamges to fdv_win.c, better name/family supportm, avoid
         possible overflow, by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/06/10 More Pascal updates, by Frank Heckenbach.
03/05/31 Small fixes to fdv_fna.c and fdv_xwin.c, by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/05/31 Pascal demos updates, by Eike Lange.
03/05/03 Added a InvalidateRect in the loadcolor function in the Win32
         videodriver, now the play-palette bgi demo works properly.
         I think the Win32 driver is now very usable, not more in alpha.
03/05/03 Faster w32_drawpixel function in the Win32 framedrivers.
03/05/02 Small patch for the next GPC version, by Frank Heckenbach.
03/05/02 Small test fixes, by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/05/02 Added a cleanall target to the borland makefile,
         by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/04/02 Added new video driver for Xfree86 DGA2 (Direct Graphics Access),
         experimental, not compiled by default, you must activate it in
         makedefs.grx, by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/03/31 New 8bpp frame driver (by Josu) and 24 bpp frame driver (by me)
         for Win32. They use the standard GRX framedirvers plus the
         necesary InvalidateRects. Now the Win32 version is faster and
         reliable.
03/03/31 With the Thomas idea of using a DIB in the win32 video driver,
         we can now use the DIB like a linear frame buffer, so the new
         win32 framedrivers can take advantage of the standard GRX frame
         drivers, by Josu Onandia.
03/03/31 Use a DIB for the hDCMem in the win32 video driver,
         by Thomas Demmer
03/03/11 The alternate linux console input driver now calls
         _LnxfbSwitchConsoleAndWait if _lnxfb_waiting_to_switch_console
         is set.
03/03/11 Changes to the linuxfb driver. Added code to catch a signal
         when user wants to change virtual terminals. The driver sets
         _lnxfb_waiting_to_switch_console and the input driver must
         calls _LnxfbSwitchConsoleAndWait then.
         Previous function _SwitchConsoleLnxfbDriver renamed to
         _LnxfbSwitchConsoleVt, not used,is here only for possible
         future use.
03/03/10 Some more adjustments to GPC changes. This time, however,
         there will be backward-incompatible changes (WRT …smname'
         etc.). Therefore, I'm using a compiler version check, so it
         should work with old and new GPC versions. At this occasion,
         I'm also removing the old-style external variable syntax
         (of GPC versions prior to 2000-04-12) from graph.pas, by
         Frank Heckenbach.
03/03/10 Changes the x11 font driver to use it's own X11 display
         and window. It allows X11 fonts to be loaded before GrSetMode()
         and makes the font driver independent from the X11 video and
         frame drivers, by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/03/10 Syncs ulheight/ulpos calculation in the X11 font driver with
         all other drivers for which ulheight isn't known, by
         Dimitar Zhekov.
03/02/27 Changes to the .fna font driver: undpos is not supported and
         fix driver inability to read fonts with 2+ nonempty "note",
         by Dimitar Zhekov.
03/02/26 Get rid of GRXMain in test programs, we use main now.
03/02/12 Sanitize the Thomas changes.
03/02/12 Changes to the win32 videodriver. Instead of begin with WinMain
         and start a thread with the main GRX program, do it backward:
         begin in main and start a thread to handle the Windows window.
         With this change we get rid of the awful GRXMain special entry
         point and GRX compiles now with CygWin, added the new platform
         to grx20.h, by Thomas Demmer <TDemmer@krafteurope.com>
03/02/11 Some small bugfixes for the Pascal units, by Frank Heckenbach.
03/01/14 Pascal units rewritten, this is to make the formatting more in
         line with the GPC conventions, by Frank Heckenbach.
02/12/29 The alternate linux console input driver now works with PS2 and
         IMPS2 mice (but the whell is not used).
02/12/21 Added function to change virtual terminals in the linuxfb
         driver, _SwitchConsoleLnxfbDriver to be called from the input
         driver (it doesn't work yet).
02/12/21 Some cleanups to the linuxfb driver, now the text screen restart
         ok on exit.
02/12/13 Added 8bpp paletted mode to the linuxfb driver,
         by Josu Onandia.
02/11/24 In fdrivers/lfb8.c, lfbbltrv.c, lfbbltvr.c and lfbbltvv.c
         there was a erroneous test on LBF_BY_NEAR_POINTER instead
         LFB_BY_NEAR_POINTER, reported by <YaoXiaoxi@elong.com>.
02/11/24 Changes avoid some warnings given by `-W' in graph.pas, by
         Frank Heckenbach.
02/11/24 The test program launcher, demogrx, has now two pages. Added
         some fontdemos.
02/10/27 Modetest shows the actual resolution when in graphics mode.
02/10/26 Corrected bug in fdrives/ram4.c, if the GR_UNDERLINE_TEXT
         flag was set colors were wrong, reported by Alex.
02/10/26 Corrected bug in draw/bitblt1b.c, bad source origin if the
         destination origin was negative, by Alex <alexbodn@012.net.il>
         Changed bb1test.c test program to see the efect.

02/10/20 ----------- GRX v2.4.5 released (Mariano Alvarez Fernandez)
02/10/18 Changed __MINGW32__ to _WIN32 in Pascal units, by
         Frank Heckenbach.
02/10/16 Updated the configure script, by Frank Heckenbach.
02/10/02 Corrected bugs in GrFloodFill, before it didn't paint the
         righter point (causing ocasionall aborts too) and didn't
         work on subcontexts.
02/08/27 Updates to the fdv_raw font driver, the loadfont source
         now does a cleanup to close the font file, fontdemo test
         program updated, by Dimitar Zhekov.
02/08/10 Make the test/bgi programs depend of a unique file header
         for input and delay functions.
02/08/10 New api functions with a unique color parameter in 0xRRGGBB
         format:
         GrColor GrAllocColor2(long hcolor);
         GrColor GrAllocColor2ID(long hcolor);
         void    GrQueryColor2(GrColor c,long *hcolor);
         void    GrQueryColor2ID(GrColor c,long *hcolor);
02/08/06 Added 'setsuid' target to test/makefile.lnx and
         test/bgi/makefile.lnx. Now you can run 'make -f makefile.lnx'
         in the grx base directory an them become root and run
         'make -f makefile.lnx setsuid'.
02/08/06 Use the SET_SUIDROOT variable in test/bgi/makefile.lnx,
         by Dimitar Zhekov.
02/08/06 Fontdemo update, by Dimitar Zhekov.
02/08/02 Modifications to acomodate new options in makedefs.grx,
         for the four standard platforms:
           INCLUDE_BGI_SUPPORT, 'y' by default
         for the linux console platform:
           USE_SVGALIB_DRIVER, 'y' by default
           USE_FRAMEBUFFER_DRIVER, 'y' by default
           SET_SUIDROOT, 'y' by default
           USE_INOUTP_FRAMEDRIVERS, 'y' by default
         Added a note about "Suidroot in the Linux console platform"
         in the readme file.
02/07/29 Revert some changes in the bgi test demos to compile again
         with DJGPP.
02/07/29 Corrected an off-by-one error in the raw font driver, by
         Dimitar Zhekov.
02/07/29 16-bit fix for BGI and GRX. __gr_WR must match GrColor, by
         Dimitar Zhekov.
02/07/29 Changes to the BGI interface, by Dimitar Zhekov.
         Inline functions defined as macro and non-inline versions.
         BGI number of colors for DOS / BCC limited to < 15bpp.
         BGI aspect ratio fixed for 16-bit systems (DOS / BCC).
         _BGI_INLINE_ moved to fldfill.c, the only module that uses it now.
         Inline functions in text4.c replaced with macros.
         Test\bgi\colortst.c fixed to use getch() not getchar().
02/07/21 Make bccbgi works with Borland C, by Dimitar Zhekov.
02/06/17 Added fontdemo test program, by Dimitar Zhekov.
02/06/17 Added the GrDumpFnaFont fucntion, to save a fon in a ascii
         fna file, by Dimitar Zhekov.
02/06/12 Three new font drivers by Dimitar Zhekov:
         * RAW driver - for RAW data and Linux PSF (not PCF) files. RAW
         data files must be 8 points wide. 512 character PSF files are
         supported. For the PSF files contained in Linux systems to be
         readable with GRX, you'll have to unzip them.
         * FNA driver - for the ascii font format used by grx 1 font
         read/write tool. A doc about this format was added to the doc
         subdirectory.
         * WIN driver - for MS Windows FNT and RES files. FNT versions 2
         and 3 are supported, 32-bit RES and FON files are not. The first
         resource from RES is used. As far as I know, all MS Windows-es
         from 2.0 to NT 4.0 use FNT version 2 and 16-bit resources packed
         into FON for raster fonts. To use the MS Windows .FON files,
         split them into .FNT or .RES files using a resource editor.
         Note. Big endian support is untested.
02/06/12 Fixes for src/makefile.bcc and test/makefile.bcc,
         by Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy@is-vn.bg>
02/04/29 GrResizeSubContext uses now the parent context coordinates.
02/04/29 Reverted some 'const' that didn't make sense.
02/03/31 The win32 driver accepts arbitrary (user defined) resolution.
02/03/14 A new global switch _GR_textattrintensevideo (false by default)
         permits the use (when true) of 16 background colors in
         GR_ATTR_TEXT strings.
02/03/13 When the close icon is pressed in the w32 version a dialog
         is issued warning it aborts the program.
02/03/12 Fixed some bugs introduced with the new win32 input queue.
02/02/11 The makefile install target installs the grxprint.h file
         if printer support is activate
02/02/11 Inprovements to the win32 driver:
         Now the GRX window is properly closed, so the previous app
         gets the focus.
02/02/02 Inprovements to the win32 driver:
         The w32 imput queue implemented as a circular queue.
         All the input related code moved to w32inp.c from vd_win32.c
         The main window is created in WinMain, so the grx program
         can use other videodrivers like the memory one.
         Now the printer stuff compiles and run, checked with the
         DeskJet driver, printing to a file and them "copy file lpt1",
         but the printout is not totally correct (?).

02/01/11 ----------- GRX v2.4.4 released (Mariano Alvarez Fernandez)
02/01/09 Modified the demogrx test program to center the image when
         a mode bigger than 640x480 is selected
02/01/09 Added an alternate linux console input driver, it handles
         the mouse directly openning /dev/psaux, but note only PS/2
         mouses work by now. It must be activate explicitly by
         uncomenting the switch "USE_DIRECT_MOUSE_DRIVER=y" in
         "makedefs.grx"
02/01/09 The linux framebuffer video driver now set the console in
         graphics or text mode when necesary. Now the text cursor is
         not show, and the svgalib mouse input driver doesn't collide
         with GPM, so, surprise!, it works!
02/01/09 Small changes to improve the linux console input driver
02/01/07 More patches to the Pascal interface, by Frank Heckenbach and
         Maurice Lombardi
02/01/02 Go to full screen in the Win32 driver if the requested framemode
         dimensions are equal to the screen dimensions (setting the
         client start area at 0,0).
01/12/22 More patches to the Pascal interface, by Frank Heckenbach and
         Maurice Lombardi
01/12/22 Added an optional configure script, by Frank Heckenbach
01/12/21 The linuxfb driver now open /dev/fb0 by default. An alternative
         frame buffer device can be specified setting the environment
         variable $FRAMEBUFFER
01/12/21 pascal ega colors are now functions, by Frank Heckenbach
01/12/21 fixed some borland bgi incompatibilities, by Frank Heckenbach
01/12/21 added 'const' (C) and 'protected' (Pascal) to some
         function parameters, to make them a little "safer",
         by Frank Heckenbach
01/12/16 Added imgview.pas and colortst.pas demo programs, by
         Frank Heckenbach
01/12/16 Change in the pascal interface: GrAllocEgaColors, GrGetScanline,
         etc. return a pointer to an array of GrColor, rather than to a
         single GrColor, by Frank Heckenbach
01/12/16 Make installation of shared libraries optional on Linux/X11
         by Frank Heckenbach
01/12/16 GrSaveContextToGrayJpeg added to the pascal interface, by
         Maurice Lombardi
01/11/29 better w32 keyboard handling. Now most special keys with
         shift, alt and control combinations works
01/11/29 added jpeg functions to grx.pas and jpgtest.pas demo, by
         Maurice Lombardi
01/11/29 patch to define gpc-main in grx.pas and graph.pas, by
         Frank Heckenbach
01/11/29 patch to remove warnings on unix in test/bgi programs, by
         Frank Heckenbach
01/11/16 Added new function: GrSaveContextToGrayJpeg. Now
         GrLoadContextFromJpeg can load grayscale jpeg files
01/11/08 jpgtest test program added. It works too without jpeg support
         and shows a message
01/11/08 New jpeg functions (GrSaveContextToJpeg, GrLoadContextFromJpeg,
         GrQueryJpeg, GrJpegSupport). Added dummy functions if there
         isn't jpeg support
01/11/07 Added new targets to makefiles: install-info, unisntall-info.
         Now install doesn't install info (readme file updated)
01/09/08 Applied additional patches to update Pascal interface, new
         polytest.pas demo, by Maurice Lombardi
01/09/07 Applied patches to update the Pascal interface, by
         Frank Heckenbach. Note, the "bgi2grx" unit was renamed to
         "Graph", so it will be BP compatible and more natural to
         Pascal programmers

01/06/28 ----------- GRX v2.4.3 released (Mariano Alvarez Fernandez)

         makedefs.w32 in makedefs.grx (readme file updated)
01/06/06 Now we can use "GRXMain" for all GRX versions, grx20.h defines
         it like "main" except for the win32 version. Deleted the ugly
         "#ifdef __WIN32__ ..." in test programs (except for BGI tests)
01/06/05 Added the Linux framebuffer videodriver (vdrivers/vd_lnxfb.c)

01/03/25 The dj2 version uses now "uclock" in mouse/input.h to get 1ms
         resolution in input code. Because "uclock" can be unsafe in W3.1
         when NO_REPROGRAM_TIMER is defined the old code is used. A
         comment has been added to makedefs.dj2
01/03/25 Changed CLOCKS_PER_SECOND by CLK_TCK for linux in mouse/input.h
         to get real ticks per second

         instead of user process time (X11 & Linux)
         GrMouseGetEventT will only return a valid ev.dtime if
         any event occured
98/04/02 Faster VGA8X line drawing
         The far (eg. to video ram) peek and poke operations
         won't get optimized away any more (solves 4bpp blit bug)

         - A lot of frame driver now share code and use much
           more optimized (!= generic) drawing functions
         - Generic and asm fwdcopy/revcopy functions for blitting
         - splitted header files to individual system files
           (filling, copying, ...) for better maintaince and
           easier optimization
         - much work on BCC speed & stability
         - Expect the Watcom port to be broken :((
