[cl-cairo2-announce] syntax change in cl-cairo2
by Tamas K Papp 24 May '09

24 May '09

Hi everyone, I pushed a new version of cl-cairo2 to the GIT repository http://github.com/tpapp/cl-cairo2/tree/master where it is kept now. The most important change is that I disposed of the *context* global variable, and moved context to the first argument, so now you write (move-to context 0 -2) instead of (move-to 0 -2 context) or (setf *context*) (move-to 0 -2) I know this is an important change in syntax, and may break a lot of code. I apologize for the inconvenience, but this has been a major wart on the initial design and I have always wanted to fix it. Best, Tamas

[cl-cairo2-announce] new cl-cairo2 version -- now reworked x11 support
by Tamas K Papp 13 Aug '07

Hi, I have just uploaded the latest version of cl-cairo2. I have completely rewritten the X11 support, with the following changes: - everything is done via CFFI, no C code or shared library to install, this is much easier to debug - multiple displays are supported - there is one event loop per display, this is much easier to manage Tamas

[cl-cairo2-announce] minor update to cl-cairo2
by Tamas K Papp 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

Hi everyone, I uploaded a minor update to cl-cairo2 today. Highlights: - the wrapper classes now use finalizers: this means that if you fail to explicitly destroy them, the GC should take care of it. However, files will not be closed until this happens, so don't rely on this, it is just a feature that helps if the user forgets to destroy the object explicitly (please use the latest CFFI if you encounter errors, earlier versions don't have cffi:finalize & co) - minor fixes, mostly cosmetic, now the library compiles under ultra-picky SBCL without warnings I have a bit of time now to work on cl-cairo2, so please tell me if there are any features you are missing. Best, Tamas
