Hi, all. I'm pleased to announce GRX 2.4.4 Here is the changelog: 02/01/09 Modified the demogrx test program to center the image when a mode bigger than 640x480 is selected 02/01/09 Added an alternate linux console input driver, it handles the mouse directly openning /dev/psaux, but note only PS/2 mouses work by now. It must be activate explicitly by uncomenting the switch "USE_DIRECT_MOUSE_DRIVER=y" in "makedefs.grx" 02/01/09 The linux framebuffer video driver now set the console in graphics or text mode when necesary. Now the text cursor is not show, and the svgalib mouse input driver doesn't collide with GPM, so, surprise!, it works! 02/01/09 Small changes to improve the linux console input driver 02/01/07 More patches to the Pascal interface, by Frank Heckenbach and Maurice Lombardi 02/01/02 Go to full screen in the Win32 driver if the requested framemode dimensions are equal to the screen dimensions (setting the client start area at 0,0). 01/12/22 More patches to the Pascal interface, by Frank Heckenbach and Maurice Lombardi 01/12/22 Added an optional configure script, by Frank Heckenbach 01/12/21 The linuxfb driver now open /dev/fb0 by default. An alternative frame buffer device can be specified setting the environment variable $FRAMEBUFFER 01/12/21 pascal ega colors are now functions, by Frank Heckenbach 01/12/21 fixed some borland bgi incompatibilities, by Frank Heckenbach 01/12/21 added 'const' (C) and 'protected' (Pascal) to some function parameters, to make them a little "safer", by Frank Heckenbach 01/12/16 Added imgview.pas and colortst.pas demo programs, by Frank Heckenbach 01/12/16 Change in the pascal interface: GrAllocEgaColors, GrGetScanline, etc. return a pointer to an array of GrColor, rather than to a single GrColor, by Frank Heckenbach 01/12/16 Make installation of shared libraries optional on Linux/X11 by Frank Heckenbach 01/12/16 GrSaveContextToGrayJpeg added to the pascal interface, by Maurice Lombardi 01/11/29 better w32 keyboard handling. Now most special keys with shift, alt and control combinations works 01/11/29 added jpeg functions to grx.pas and jpgtest.pas demo, by Maurice Lombardi 01/11/29 patch to define gpc-main in grx.pas and graph.pas, by Frank Heckenbach 01/11/29 patch to remove warnings on unix in test/bgi programs, by Frank Heckenbach 01/11/16 Added new function: GrSaveContextToGrayJpeg. Now GrLoadContextFromJpeg can load grayscale jpeg files 01/11/08 jpgtest test program added. It works too without jpeg support and shows a message 01/11/08 New jpeg functions (GrSaveContextToJpeg, GrLoadContextFromJpeg, GrQueryJpeg, GrJpegSupport). Added dummy functions if there isn't jpeg support 01/11/07 Added new targets to makefiles: install-info, unisntall-info. Now install doesn't install info (readme file updated) 01/09/08 Applied additional patches to update Pascal interface, new polytest.pas demo, by Maurice Lombardi 01/09/07 Applied patches to update the Pascal interface, by Frank Heckenbach. Note, the "bgi2grx" unit was renamed to "Graph", so it will be BP compatible and more natural to Pascal programmers Download it from the GRX site: http://grx.gnu.de Enjoy, M.Alvarez

GRX 2.4.3
by Mariano Alvarez Fernandez 08 Jul '01

08 Jul '01

Hi, all. First I expect the list will be working. I want to announce GRX 2.4.3 Changelog: 01/06/27 Added new targets to makefiles: install-bin, uninstall-bin, install-fonts and uninstall-fonts (readme file updated) 01/06/26 Moved bin2c, fnt2c, vesainfo, lfbinfo and modetest to src/utilprog. They are build in the source makefile. 01/06/22 Except for the w32 version the install target installs the info manual. As suggested by Maurice Lombardi and Waldemar Schultz 01/06/21 pngtest test program added. It works too without png support and shows a message 01/06/20 Changed BCCGRX cleardevice function to clear the screen to the current BACKGROUND color instead of black. Suggested by Waldemar Schultz 01/06/19 ctx2png functions (GrSaveContextToPng, GrLoadContextFromPng, GrQueryPng, GrPngSupport) integrated in GRX. src/pnm subdir renamed to src/gformats. Added dummy functions if there isn't png support 01/06/18 New API functions: GrLoadContextFromPnmBuffer and GrQueryPnmBuffer Because I have problems uploading big files to my ISP I can't provide urls to download the new version at the moment. I had uploaded the zip version to delorie server, so expect it will be on simtel in a couple of days. Greetings, M.Alvarez

Announce GRX 2.4
by Mariano Alvarez Fernandez 16 Mar '01

16 Mar '01

Hi all: I'm pleased to announce GRX 2.4 This version integrates the Win32 one, written by Gernot Graeff (and provided by Peter Gerwinski). The drivers have been improved a lot by Josu Onandia, including a 24 bpp frame driver. Despite the fact that most tests work (even modetest, demogrx and bccbgi, but be patient), the Win32 port must be considered like alpha code. It has some rough edges, like the need to use GRXMain instead main. Here is the changelog: 01/03/16 Win32 drivers improved again by Josu Onandia 01/03/15 Make bccbgi to use ../rand.h to work with the Win32 drivers 01/03/14 Added ifdef to demo programs to use GRXMain with the Win32 drivers 01/03/12 Fixed a bug in mouse/xwinkeys.c, preventing getkey & kbhit work together (Now bccbgi demo works properly in X, except restoring from text mode) 01/03/10 Support for DJGPP v1 removed (really only removed makefiles by now) 01/03/10 Optimized pnm/ctx2pnm.c, contributed by Josu Onandia 01/03/10 Improved frame and video drivers for win32, by Josu Onandia <jonandia(a)fagorautomation.es> 01/03/06 Integrated the win32 version written by Gernot Graeff <gernot.graeff(a)t-online.de> 01/03/05 Fixed bug in modetest.c preventing 32 bpp modes to work. 01/03/04 Applied patch to solve 32bpp problems, by Hartmut Schirmer 01/03/03 Applied patch to make GRX compile with gcc 3.0, by Andris Pavenis 01/03/03 Fixed bug in pattern/fillpatt.c 01/02/26 Modified setmode.c and svgalib.c to set frame pointer dinamicaly and fix the svgalib video driver. 01/02/22 Applied some patches by Maurice Lombardi <Maurice.Lombardi(a)ujf-grenoble.fr> 01/02/20 Fixed bug in pattern/patfbox.c 01/02/14 Fixed bug preventing GrLoadFont work with BGI fonts Download: For linux/unix and general use: http://www.terra.es/personal/malfer/zipfiles/grx24.tar.gz For DJGPP users (with manifests files) and general use too: http://www.terra.es/personal/malfer/zipfiles/grx24s.zip Enjoy, M.Alvarez
