[Libvisual-devel] Devel plans for 0.2.0.

[Dennis S. <sy...@yo...>]

I mate a list of things I would like to see for 0.2.0. 

0.2.0 is going to be a big release and I suspect that we're
going to need some time to get it all out, for that reason
we can use all the help, also with the 'little' things.


If someone likes to add things to this list, please go
ahead.

0.2.0 goals:
        libvisual:
                Good error reporting through VisError.
                VisVideo scaler.
                visual_video_overlay fixen, simplifyen.
                VisUI.
                API review here and there.
                Portability fixes:
                        The issue on freeBSD.
                        BIG/LITTLE ENDIAN still pending!!!

        libvisual-display:
                Basic functionality working so it can be used in
		clients.
                A plain X11 plugin as well.

        libvisual-widgets:
                Gtk1 VisUI Builder.
                Gtk2 VisUI Builder.

        libvisual-bmp:
                Good Beep Media Player client. with config dialog.

        libvisual-python:
                Work further on the bindings (this depends on VisError).

        libvisual-xmms:
                The about dialog for plugins in the same style as that
		of the xmms plugin itself.
                Fiddling, stop quit stop quit, config stuff etc, stress
		testing can cause crashes still
                        I suspect this is due thread synchronize 
			problems.

        libvisual-plugins:
                Port corona.
                Port dancing particles.
                Use plugin flags.
                Look at how to deal with alsa issues when the resource
			'is already used'.


Cheers,
Dennis

I can optimize more my ugly prototype :-)

The hardest work.

I want to start here with the const pointers I have suggested. May I
can?

This is for me.

Oh yes. My video_scaler have to define his owns macros.

Please do so, make it modulair, so you can start different
scalers using a define. like visual_video_scale 
(VISUAL_VIDEO_SCALE_NEAREST, ...).. I'd like to have
a NEAREST and BILINAIR scaler :).. Also make sure that the
actual scale function won't be super big, split up in smaller
static functions, that append at the end of lv_video.c

Yep, will start on the basic API really soon.

You can, but please send patches to the list first so I can review
them!

Great, thank you :)

I doubt if it's needed for the scalar, but lv_bmp still needs
to be adjusted.

Aah, alright!, cool :). Eventually we could have a QT widget and 
VisVideo inbuffer method as well.

I think it's possible. More todos:
	Carefull error and input params checking. Critical.
	Ability to runtime configuration of render targets (VisParam?)
	...something I forgot :)

Cheers to that, VisParam is indeed the way to do runtime configuration!

You could define a set of standard parameters, and document those, I'm
sure you get this nailed :)
