differences between the versions

• Trunk (upcoming 2.x tree)
  • starts where 1.98.x ends
  • default device expression for most drivers/displays
  • replaces/consolidates 1.97.x and 1.98.x

• 1.98.x branch: development and testing branch with new features:

  • GPI/GPO (general purpose input/outputs like buttons, IR, ...)
  • Client/Server (client(s) exchange display content and GPI/GPO-events over the internet with a display server)
  • Dynamic loading of libraries (e.g. libusb, libSDL, ...)
  • Asynchronous event handling (separate thread for receiving and handling of GPI-events)

  • No need for --enable-libusb and enabling of other dyn. libraries when calling ./configure

  • a new configure option has been added in SVN revision r278: --enable-experimental.
    this option is now required to enable the following features:

  • GPIs (including asynchronous event handling)
  • Client/Server
  • 1.97.x branch: legacy branch with former productive tree :
  • stable API
  • no dynamic loading of libraries (such as libusb, libSDL, ...)
  • libusb-support requires configure option --enable-libusb
