	if clients and server linked in single app, there is no need for UDS or

Sun 18 Jul 2004 03:19:03 PM EEST
	* : here i am with so many changes, re-writes. server-client system
	is almost finished. some minor things are pending : font routines must
	be changed becouse the working one has some leak problems (I do not
	know why ;) anyway, we wont use bdf font anymore, the freetype library
	is small and relleable enough to use. And, kbd.c & kaymap file must
	be changed; i need a complete enumarator list, second step will be
	reducing the memory usage for kbd.c. Not much work to do... in 1-2
	months we will have a perfect server-client system + gtkv2 + sdl +
	various programs that are directly ported. Ahh, i must prepare a color
	palette for 8bpp drawing functions.

Mon 05 Jul 2004 06:53:14 PM EEST
	* : here and alive ;)

Fri Apr  2 01:13:19 2004

Fri Oct 17 18:59:12 2003
	* (S&C) : so many changes. and at last whole library is now threads
	safe !.

Tue Oct 14 19:41:16 2003
	* (S&C) : some changes that are not really important.

Fri Oct 10 02:49:16 2003

Sat Sep  6 20:14:50 2003
	* (C) driver.c : bpp1_*, bpp2_*, bpp4_* functions are working perfect
	(almost), but I cannot test bpp3_* becouse my vgacard (nvidia TNT2 M64)
	cant handle 24 bit modes (this is not svgalib's fault, becouse X cant
	manage those modes for me, too).
			 s_rgbcolor(...) ;)

Sat Aug  2 03:49:37 2003
	* (C) driver.c : ;) linear buffer drawing functions. All of them. But
	not tested except bpp2_*.
	* (C) mem.h : ;)
	* (S&C) : so many additions.

Wed Jul 30 19:56:45 2003
	* (C) pixel.c : simple overlay (acts like overlay, but is not) drawing
	functions.
	* (C) surface.c : s_client_surface_changed(...) changed. Little slower
	but reliable.

Mon Jul 28 01:42:46 2003
	* (C) client.h surface.c : from now on, clients do not require libvga
	to compile.

Sun Jul 27 20:00:02 2003
	* (S&C) socket.c window.c surface.c : window root procedure changed.
	* (S&C) socket.c : CLIENT_MAX bug fix.

Wed Jul 23 02:23:42 2003
	* (S) : trying to get server much faster.
	* (S) window.c : some bug fixes.
	* (S&C) socket.c : can you believe that read&write is faster than
	send&recieve?

Fri Jul 18 16:33:31 2003
	* server : some improvements for fast window drawing, needs more work.

Thu Jul 17 00:42:52 2003
	* server : no more remaining shared memory segments from now on.

Wed Jul 16 18:21:46 2003
	* server & lib : name changed from sde to S.
	* server window.c : some corrections.

Wed Jul 16 17:42:03 2003
	* server : some changes in theme.c

Mon Jul 14 22:10:17 2003
	* server & client : int *matrix etc. changed to char * to decrease
	working memory space (4 byte > 1 byte). But max amount of clients is
	now limeted to 127. Anyway who wants more than 256 ? This can be
	changed to 255 easily with little work if needed.

Fri Jul 11 19:07:18 2003
	* : only the surface matrix is shared for now.
	* server : matrix[][] is changed with linear marix. I think non-linear
	one was working faster, easier than the linear one but...

Fri Jul 11 18:43:23 2003
	* : This was the second try of server client system on svgalib.
	And the first one was using shared memory and semaphores, but
	that was not really a server client system, the fore client was acting
	as  server. ;) But had really embedded behaves.
	    This one was built on socket data transfer, using UDS. But I see
	that this is really much slower than working with shared memory. So,
	here is the idea, from now on, sserver is using both sockets and
	shared memory to be much more faster.
	    Although I am using shared memory there is no need to use
	semaphores for now. Becouse server calls clients after changing the
	matrix.

Wed Jul  9 23:22:20 2003
	* client : done with right-left resize.
	* server : ~= done ;)

Wed Jul  9 18:56:03 2003
	* server&client : will do window resize.

Sun Jul  6 21:15:55 2003
	* : I didnot log any of changes so far, becouse I did not think that
	this project wil really work ;) I tried a lot of different ways to get
	the right way. Now here I am ;) The very important change is the
	name ;) "SServer".
	* svgaserver : works fine.
	* svgaclient : works fine.
