glava/CHANGELOG.md

1.4

• Added window creation backends. GLava automatically uses the appropriate backend, currently "glx" and "glfw" are available. The GLX window creation code nicely supports transparent windows so that users do not need to use GLFW 3.3 for native transparency, which remains unstable and unreleased.
• Added a --backend (or -b) flag that can be used to manually select window creation backends.
• Fixed alpha blending with "native" transparency. GLava now correctly uses premultiplied alpha to provide alpha blending with other X windows, where a compositor is available.
• Fixed a segmentation fault that occurs with uncommon window managers, see #19
• Fixed various other issues with alpha blending in shader code.

1.3

• Added RGBA color parsing for GLSL code and directives (does not work within #request directives). The behaviour converts #3ef708ff -> vec4(0.243, 0.967, 0.031, 1.0). If the alpha component is omitted, it is assumed to be 1.0. The parsing occurs during compile time, so it does not incurr any performance penalty.
• Fixed stray [DEBUG] messages that were errornously being printed
• Actually added support for GLFW 3.1, see issue #13
• Fixed issue with some WMs not responding to GLava's window types and hints, see #17
• Fixed alpha blending not working, radial and circle image quality should be drastically improved on xroot and none opacity settings.
• Added --version command line flag

1.2

• Attempted to add support for GLFW 3.1, see issue #13
• Added configurable solid background color, see #16
• Fixed issue with excessive file reads from ~/.Xauthority see #15

1.1

• Added circle module
• Added anti-aliasing to the radial module, written into the shader itself
• Default configuration values should create more appealing visualizers now
• Massive performance improvements, see issue #10

1.0

• All versions of GLava with 1.0 version numbers are older development releases.
