- Remove the const function attribute from get_time_*(), since the
functions they call that actually get the time probably access global
variables or have other behaviors unacceptable for const functions.
- Change the const function attribute on win_has_frame() to pure, as it
accesses memory its parameter points to, which is invalid for a const
function.
- Add margin_t, a structure that represents margins around a rectangle.
- Store frame extents of a window with margin_t, replacing the 4
fields ({left,right,top,bottom}_width) in struct _win.
- Add two helper macros, cmemzero() and cmemzero_one(), that zero out a
block of memory.
- Add glx_take_screenshot() for taking a screenshot. With ImageMagick
the output data could be viewed in this way:
display -size [SCREEN-WIDTH]x[SCREEN-HEIGHT] -depth 8 -flip
rgb:[PATH]
(#204)
- Add D-Bus command `opts_get string:paint_on_overlay_id` to get X
Composite overlay window ID. (#204)
- Code cleanup.
- Separate GLX parts from session_t into glx_session_t.
- Add --rererdir-on-root-change and --glx-reinit-on-root-change, as
possible solutions for #217. Thanks to jlindgren90 for reporting.
- Add --glx-fshader-win, which specifies a custom fragment shader for
painting windows. compton-default-fshader-win.glsl is the shader with
default behavior, and compton-fake-transparency-fshader-win.glsl
provides a template of fake transparency. (#183)
- Add --force-win-blend to force all windows to be painted with
blending.
- Add --no-fading-destroyed-argb, as a workaround of bugs in some WMs.
(#193)
Add `bounding_shape` and `rounded_corners` as condition match target.
Deprecate --shadow-ignore-shaped. Add rounded-corners detection to
win_is_fullscreen(). Slightly modify win_rounded_corners() logic. Thanks
to tdryer for reporting. (#191)
- Try to avoid evaluating conditions after window unmap/destruction.
Unfortunately, frequently this doesn't work due to the asynchronous
nature of X.
- Add _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS exclusion rules to compton.sample.conf. Thanks
to memeplex, hexchain, and others for info. (#189)
- Add debugging option --show-all-xerrors, and other debugging changes.
Doc update.
- Add --xrender-sync{,-fence} to deal with redraw lag issue on GLX
backend. --xrender-sync-fence requires a sufficiently new xorg-server
and libXext. NO_XSYNC=1 may be used to disable it at compile time.
Thanks to tchebb for reporting and everybody else for testing. (#181)
- A bit code clean-up. Replace a few XSync() with XFlush() to minimize
the latency.
- Add "xr-glx-hybrid" as an alias of "xr_glx_hybrid". (#163)
- Clear damage history in expose_root() and when root window size
changes. Unfortunately this doesn't fix#181.
- Add new backend "xr_glx_hybird", which uses X Render for all
compositing but GLX on the last step of rendering to screen. This
makes GLX-backend-specific VSync methods usable while may avoid
certain bugs with GLX backend. The idea comes from ali1234.
Experimental.
- GLX backend: Stop using or rendering to depth buffer.
- Use glFinish() instead of glFlush() before VSync. It probably uses
more CPU but could be more reliable than glFlush().
- Add --write-pid-path to write process ID to a file, to help
determining compton's process ID when -b is used.
- Add a few extra targets to query through D-Bus opts_get (version, pid,
etc.) and through win_get, primarily for debugging.
- Add helper macros likely(), unlikely(), cmalloc(), ccalloc(),
crealloc().
- Change w->opacity_set to opacity_t. Determine display_repr in
session_init(), etc.
Possible fix for a very rare timing issue in focus detection. Compton
may fail to detect the currently focused window, when a window newly
mapped gets focused, we failed to listen to events and get FocusIn from
it in time, and a series of focus change events before it happens stay
in the event queue and puzzled compton. My choice is to force focus
recheck on all focus-related events. More roundtrips to X, but not
necessarily worse performance, due to the high cost of focus flipping
especially when there's a lot of conditions. Thanks to SlackBox for
reporting. (#153)
- Rewrite focus detection logic. Remove w->focused_real and use
ps->active_win to identify focused window uniformly. Use a more
expensive way to filter FocusIn/Out events to improve reliability.
Only limited tests are done, and bugs are likely to be introduced.
(#99)
- Known issue: Under fvwm, compton sometimes does not consistently
report the window input gets sent to. But there's something wrong in
that case: XGetInputFocus() shows the root window is focused but
another window is receiving input.
- Add --unredir-if-possible-exclude, to exclude certain windows when
evaluating --unredir-if-possible. (#140)
- Add --unredir-if-possible-delay, to add some delay before
unredirecting screen. (#138, #140)
- Code clean-up.
- Add stoppaint_force option, controlled via D-Bus, to stop painting
completely, which may look better than unredirecting the screen,
sometimes. (#41)
- Add x2, y2 matching targets.
- Update documentation.
- Add --paint-exclude to prevent certain windows from being painted, for
debugging purposes.
- Add predefined matching target "x", "y", "width", "height", "widthb",
"heightb", "border_width", and "fullscreen".
- Fix bug #119, wrong man page install dir in CMake configuration.
Thanks to sstewartgallus for reporting.
- Add --shadow-exclude-reg, which excludes certain regions on the screen
to have shadows painted in. (#116)
- Adjust session initialization order. Now X root and screen info and
basic X extensions are available in configuration parsing step.
- Add --opacity-rule, which sets opacity based on conditions, as
requested by zabbal. (#113)
- Add a data field for each condition.
- Correct the FAQ link in README.md. Silly me.
- Code clean-up.
- Add multipass blur support. Note GLX Framebuffer support is required.
My benchmark shows multipass blur brings 5% performance boost for X
Render backend (3x3box). On GLX backend it brings 10% performance
boost for 5x5box but negatively affects performance for 3x3box. Thanks
to jrfonseca for advice. (#107)
- GLX backend: Cache blur texture for each window, for a 12% performance
boost.
- Add D-Bus fading control. Thanks to yulan6248 for testing. (#112)
- Fix FAQ link in README.md. Thanks to lorenzos for report. (#111)
- Correctly deinitialize VSync on on-the-fly VSync method switch.
- X Render backend: Normalize blur kernel.
- Code clean-up.
- Known issue: Linear corruption on border of a window may appear with X
Render multi-pass blur. Possible to fix but probably not worthwhile.
- GLX backend: Add DEBUG_GLX_MARK, to add GL marks around functions with
glStringMarkerGREMEDY(), and mark frame termination with
glFrameTerminatorGREMEDY().
- Print output of `compton -h` to stdout. (#110)
- GLX backend: Strip out elements with factor 0 in GLSL blur code.
Thanks to jrfonseca for guides. (#107)
- Fix GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE support. Thanks to amonakov for guides.
(#107)
- Enhance --glx-copy-from-front to improve performance and make it work
with --glx-swap-method, copied from kwin patch. Thanks to bwat47 for
info. (#107)
- Add texture2Doffset() support in blur GLSL shader. Thanks to amonakov
for advice. No visible benefit here, though. (#107)
- Only limited tests are done and I'm super sleepy. Bugs expected
- Fix --resize-damage. I forgot to shrink the painting region back when
actually copying to destination.
- Include extra pixels around the blur texture to avoid some possible
small issues, if --resize-damage is positive.
- Known issue: Line artifacts may still appear with --dbe (X Render
backend) or --glx-swap-method (GLX backend). I doubt if there's way to
fix this without very inefficient mechanisms.
- Add --resize-damage to enlarge/shrink repaint region by a specific
number of pixels, used for solving the line corruption issue with
blur. Thanks to Nuck and jerri in #104 for reporting.
- Fix the memory leak of blur shader string.
- Add blur convolution kernel customization, --blur-kern. The format is
a bit tricky so be sure to read the description in `compton -h`. Not
much tests received.
- GLX backend: Tolerate missing GLSL uniforms for strangely shaped
convolution kernel.
- Fix a memory leak that blur-background blacklist is not freed.
- GLX backend: Add --glx-swap-method, to reduce painting region if the
driver uses exchange or copy buffer swaps. Untested.
- Add --fade-exclude, to disable fading on specific windows based on
some conditions. Untested.
- Expose GLX backend options through configuration file. Add fetching of
GLX backend options through D-Bus.
- Use NULL pointer instead of element count to delimit string arrays in
parse_vsync()/parse_backend()/parse_glx_swap_method().
- Add documentation about "wintypes" section in configuration file.
- GLX backend: Fix broken dim and blur with --glx-no-stencil when
dealing with shaped windows.
- GLX backend: Cache region contents and do a local region intersection
instead of using XFixesIntersectRegion(). Drastic reduction in CPU
usage for --glx-no-stencil. Now --glx-no-stencil substantially
outperforms (~15%) normal mode.
- Use macros to reuse paint-in-region code in opengl.c . Add new type
"reg_data_t" to store XserverRegion cache.
- Cache region contents in is_region_empty(), mostly useful only for GLX
backend to save one roundtrip to X.
- GLX backend: Add --glx-no-rebind-pixmap, which prevents rebinding of
GLX texture to pixmap on content change. It doesn't work on some
drivers, but it saves some CPU on those where it does.
- Wrap XFree() with a new function cxfree() since its man page claims
NULL pointers are not acceptable (although in fact it does...).
- Use macro to save some code in get_cfg(). Code clean-up.
- GLX backend: Fix broken --inactive-dim.
- GLX backend: Fix bugs when inverting colors of windows. Thanks to
madsy and neure for help.
- GLX backend: Lift `glx_no_stencil` restriction from glx_init_blur().
It still probably won't work, but the user can try.
- XRender backend: Use XRenderFillRectangles() instead of
XRenderComposite() to do dimming.
- Add --blur-background-exclude. (#98)
- Add `opengl-mswc` VSync, which uses MESA_swap_control instead of
SGI_swap_control. I don't expect it to perform better than
SGI_swap_control, though.
- Update CMakeLists.txt .
- Add a few targets for D-Bus `win_get`. Misc changes.
- Known issue: Apparently I've forgotten implementing --inactive-dim on
GLX backend... Silly me.
- GLX backend: Add --glx-use-copysubbuffermesa, to use
MESA_copy_sub_buffer to do partial screen update. Huge performance
boost on mesa drivers for partial screen updates, but does not work
for nvidia-drivers and may break VSync. Automagically overrides
--glx-copy-from-front.
- Add rect_is_fullscreen() to reuse code. Misc changes.
