Previously we were using glibc's strtod function to parse floating point numbers. The problem is, strtod is locale dependent. Meaning 7,7 might be parsed as two numbers (7 and 7) in one locale, and parsed as one number (7 point 7) in another locale. This is undesirable. We need to set the locale to a value we know to make number parsing consistently. We could use setlocale(), but that is not thread-safe. We can also use uselocale(), which is thread-safe, but doesn't cover strtod (Yeah, some of the locale-aware functions only acknowledge the global locale, not the thread local one). So in frustration, I just wrote a simple floating point number parser myself. This parser obviously doesn't cover all cases strtod covers, but is good enough for our needs.

Compton
This is a development branch, bug to be expected
This is forked from the original Compton because that seems to have become unmaintained.
The current battle plan of this fork is to refactor it to make the code possible to maintain, so potential contributors won't be scared away when they take a look at the code.
We also try to fix bugs.
The original README can be found here

- libx11
- libx11-xcb
- libXext
- xproto
- xcb
- xcb-damage
- xcb-xfixes
- xcb-shape
- xcb-renderutil
- xcb-render
- xcb-randr
- xcb-composite
- xcb-image
- xcb-present
- xcb-xinerama (optional, disable with the
-Dxinerama=false
meson configure flag) - pixman
- libdbus (optional, disable with the
-Ddbus=false
meson configure flag) - libconfig (optional, disable with the
