DirectFBDirectFB is a thin library that provides hardware graphics acceleration, input device handling and abstraction, integrated windowing system with support for translucent windows and multiple display layers, not only on top of the Linux Framebuffer Device. It is a complete hardware abstraction layer with software fallbacks for every graphics operation that is not supported by the underlying hardware. DirectFB adds graphical power to embedded systems and sets a new standard for graphics under Linux. 2009-12-08 Release festival: DirectFB 1.2.10, DirectFB 1.4.3, SaWMan 1.4.3The ongoing development and bug fixing on the main branch has now been nicely packaged into DirectFB 1.4.3 and SaWMan 1.4.3. To keep the link with the 1.2.x branch, DirectFB 1.2.10 has been released as well, with minimal changes to cooperate with SaWMan 1.4.3. The big changes in 1.4.3 are the API changes: new pixelformats are added, a synchronisation mechanism is added so you can synchronise among windows without a backbuffer, and IDirectFBSurface::BatchBlit2 is added which supports hardware with double input - single output blitters; even automatically in conjunction with the window composer of SaWMan.

2009-08-27 SaWMan 1.4.2: cooperation release - works with DirectFB 1.2.9 and 1.4.2This release adds (again) support for both DirectFB 1.2.x and 1.4.x branches. API changes to SaWMan will be reflected in the 1.2.x branch, while DirectFB development will continue in the DirectFB 1.4.x branch. For detailed info click on the news title 2009-08-27 DirectFB 1.4.2: PXA3xxx driver, window gets application_id, updated font API.Time for DirectFB 1.4.2. The three main changes for this release are a changed font API for colors/outline, the addition of an application_id to a window, and the new PXA3xxx graphics driver. The application_id is a free-to-use parameter that, on change, results in a WM callback. The font API allows DirectFB to take advantage of font modules that offer multiple colors and font outline.

The main reason for shipping 1.2.9 is support for the 1.4.x SaWMan branch; several API features that are required by SaWMan have been added. DirectFB 1.2.9 is required for SaWMan 1.4.2 and upwards.

This also restricted the users to the new interface, which proved a bit too tight - we have now added ISaWManManager::GetWindowInfo, GetProcessInfo and IsWindowShowing, to return the flexibility while maintaining a clean API. DirectFB 1.4.1 is required for this release! For detailed info click on the news title 2009-06-26 DirectFB 1.4.1: solid-color windows and window associationA new DirectFB release with updated frame buffer system code, bug fixes and some new features: windows can now be dynamically associated to other windows, and support DWCAPS_COLOR: a solid color with no backing store, to save memory if you want a solid colour window (e.g. to make a transparent hole in your layer).
