1.5 +--------------------------------------
1.6 +
1.7 +2007-02-25: Version 0.1.5
1.8 +- added missing include path definition (thanks to Wolfgang Astleitner)
1.9 +- replaced unsigned long long with uint64_t
1.10 +- added missing includes

1.86 +- split off drivers from graphlcd plugin to GraphLCD driver library
1.87 + (libglcddrivers)
1.88 +- split off graphics and font handling from graphlcd plugin to GraphLCD
1.89 + graphics library (libglcdgraphics)
1.90 +- split off tools from graphlcd plugin to GraphLCD base package
1.91 +- almost completely rewritten graphics and font handling
1.92 +- added configuration file to hold the driver-specific options
1.93 +- changed driver interface

1.98 + when skipPixels is equal to width of the character and SubBitmap
1.99 + returns NULL, which was not tested for (thanks to Malte Schröder for
1.100 + reporting this one)
1.101 +- glcdgraphics: fixed a wrong return value in cBitmap::DrawCharacter in
1.102 + case skipPixels > 0 which prevented scrolling from working right.

1.112 +- glcddrivers: Now serdisplib is loaded dynamically using libdl. So, no
1.113 + INCLUDE_SERDISPLIB define is needed any longer (thanks to Wolfgang
1.114 + Astleitner)
1.115 +- glcddrivers: fixed gu256x64-3900 driver: Now sizes other than 256x64
1.116 + should work. (thanks to Detlef Ruge and Ralf Müller)

1.121 + cBitmap class.
1.122 +- glcdgraphics: extended font attributes to better support converted true
1.123 + type fonts. Also changed font file format to support this attributes.
1.124 +- glcdgraphics: the lastChange attribute of cImage now is 64 bits wide.
1.125 +- crtfont: extended it to support the new font attributes
1.126 +- crtfont: changed file format of description files. Now the font
1.127 + attributes are given by its names, p. e. lineheight:20. Look in
1.128 + README.crtfont for details.
1.129 +- new tool genfont: allows converting of true type fonts to GraphLCD
1.130 + fonts using freetype2 library. You have to uncomment HAVE_FREETYPE2 in

1.133 + genfont.
1.134 +- glcdgraphics: Added additional type casts to std::min calls to make it
1.135 + compile on x86-64 (thanks to Stefan Bergler).

1.145 + - Added some helper functions to GLCD::cFont class
1.146 +- glcddrivers: ks0108: Improved timings: Made setting of display control
1.147 + lines like defined in the controller's data sheet. This fixes problems
1.148 + with some display types. Thanks to Matthias Breitbach for providing a
1.149 + LCD of that type.
1.150 +- glcddrivers: gu256x64-3900:
1.151 + - Corrected calculation of m_nTimingAdjustCmd.
1.152 + - Added a test for RefreshDisplay config value to prevent a floating
1.153 + point exception to occur when it is set to zero.
1.154 +
