Subject: NEWS: updates for v1.0
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=72cb1176245409c69cd8a2667134fdb331bff1a6;p=qemu-gpiodev%2Flibgpiod.git

NEWS: updates for v1.0

Add release notes for v1.0.

Also: the master branch doesn't contain the tags for bugfix releases so
documenting them in this branche's NEWS makes no sense.

Fold all the info about bugfix releases into the next minor release and
only keep major and minor releases in NEWS on the master branch. Bugfix
releases will only be documented in their respective minor branches
from now on.

+libgpiod v1.0
+=============
+
+NOTE: This is a major release - it breaks the API compatibility with
+      the 0.x.y series.
+
+New features:
+- remove custom error handling in favor of errnos
+- merge the two separate interfaces for event requests and regular line
+  requests
+- redesign the simple API
+- change the prefix of the high-level API from 'simple' to 'ctxless' (for
+  contextless) which better reflects its purpose
+- redesign the iterator API
+- make use of prefixes more consistent
+- rename symbols all over the place
+- various minor tweaks
+- add support for pkg-config
+
+Improvements:
+- add a bunch of helpers for line requests
+- split the library code into multiple source files by functionality
+- re-enable a test case previously broken by a bug in the kernel
 
 Bug fixes:
 - correctly handle signal interrupts when polling in gpiod_simple_event_loop()
