I'm running 1.1 on my workstation with XDirectFB etc. so it's not really unstable, maybe testing :) > What work is still remaining/in development for 1.1? With a new roadmap for 2.0 evolving quickly it won't be a lot of time to make the 1.2 stable release. On the other hand, we could branch off 1.1 and work on its stabilization for 1.2 while heavy changes occur in the new 1.9 trunk. So remaining work is to freeze the API and fix bugs or reimplement the features that broke with the new surface core. There's nothing new in development for 1.1 except one or two things that might be required for Cairo or DirectVG, and of course patches that are not integrated, yet. The following dates seem reasonable: 03/08 - branch off 1.1 and start development of 1.9 in trunk 04/08 - freeze 1.1 API, start stabilization, including fixes made in trunk 06/08 - first development release of 1.9 (with 2.0 architecture)? 07/08 - release 1.2 0x/08 - freeze 1.9 and start stabilization for 2.0 release xx/08 - release 2.0 -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list directfb-dev@directfb.org http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
