Excellent. From previous announcements I'd expect the next weekly fltk2 snapshot by friday. Is there anything left we need for the release? What about the binary and config file name?
We have to remember to take clear_double_buffer out before releasing.
I thought we would keep it. Without it things get awfully slow here with more than 5 windows. Also all the backBuffer stuff in FltkViewBase would be unnecessary then. Are you seeing any problems with clear_double_buffer()?
In the course of this thread: http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2008-April/004022.html we learned that drawing with antialiased fonts is exceedingly slow for me for some reason with clear_double_buffer.
I thought that had been resolved by changing the color depth. Anyway, what about a runtime option to choose the buffering scheme (patch attached).
CCoommiitteedd. ::--)) Yesternight, I made some tests with an IBM thinkpad 385XD, with a NM2160 Video card (Pentium I 233Mhz with 94MB RAM): With Xft and antialiasing, 16bit depth: buffered_drawing={0,1}: Rendering takes 1 second aprox (PgUp or PgDn). No user noticeable differences with these modes. buffered_drawing=2: Rendering takes 1/3 second aprox (PgUp or PgDn). Feels much better than the former for the user, dragging the scrollbar is also faster. -- Cheers Jorge.-
