From 1639235a48dbed75c2563c9a497b41c31a2a1bae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Přemysl Eric Janouch Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2022 04:39:20 +0200 Subject: Start X11 and web frontends for xC For this, we needed a wire protocol. After surveying available options, it was decided to implement an XDR-like protocol code generator in portable AWK. It now has two backends, per each of: - xF, the X11 frontend, is in C, and is meant to be the primary user interface in the future. - xP, the web frontend, relies on a protocol proxy written in Go, and is meant for use on-the-go (no pun intended). They are very much work-in-progress proofs of concept right now, and the relay protocol is certain to change. --- NEWS | 12 +++++++++--- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'NEWS') diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index e521b33..5b187c9 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -1,5 +1,9 @@ Unreleased + * xD: implemented WALLOPS, choosing to make it target even non-operators + + * xC: made it show WALLOPS messages, as PRIVMSG for the server buffer + * xC: all behaviour.* configuration options have been renamed to general.*, with the exception of editor_command/editor, backlog_helper/pager, and backlog_helper_strip_formatting/pager_strip_formatting @@ -10,11 +14,13 @@ Unreleased * xC: normalized editline's history behaviour, making it a viable frontend - * xC: made it show WALLOPS messages, as PRIVMSG for the server buffer - * xC: various bugfixes - * xD: implemented WALLOPS, choosing to make it target even non-operators + * xC: added a relay interface, enabled through the general.relay_bind option + + * Added an experimental X11 frontend for xC called xF + + * Added an experimental web frontend for xC called xP 1.5.0 (2021-12-21) "The Show Must Go On" -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
