MiniGUI 5.0.6 Released!

The MiniGUI development team announces the availability of MiniGUI 5.0.6.

What's New?

In this version, we fixed some bugs and made some optimizations and enhancements:

• BUGFIXING:
  • Fix bugs of switching layers under MiniGUI-Processes.
  • Fix bugs of FBCon and PC_XVFB engines: the dirty rectangles are not set empty after calling SyncUpdate.
  • Fix memory leaks when using block heap.
  • Fix a bug in ServerGetWinZNodeRegion.
• ENHANCEMENTS:
  • Enhance GetGlyphInfo to return the FreeType face, font file path, and glyph index.
  • NEW API StretchBltEx to support different scaling filters and rotation.
  • Use Pixman to support color blending methods for BitBlt and StretchBlt.
  • Enhance fallback compositor to support animation when switching among layers.
  • New API SetMainWindowGestureFlags and MSG_GESTURETEST message for gesture test and setting the gesture flags of a specific main window.
  • Tune implementation of Tooltip window.
• OPTIMIZATIONS:
  • Optimize the fallback compositor for lucent windows.
  • Use Pixman to optimize FillBox, BitBlt, and StretchBlt.
  • Optimize the management of BLOCKHEAP.
  • Optimize the __mg_lookfor_unused_slot.

Note that the binary backward-compatibility was broken, two operations added to CompositorOps. You should rebuild all MiniGUI applications.

Also note that the compositing schema is now enabled by default.
