README

neXGB is a fork of a fork of the X Go Binding, which is a low-level API to
communicate with the core X protocol and many of the X extensions.
It is closely modelled after XCB and xpyb.

It is thread safe and gets immediate improvement from parallelism when
GOMAXPROCS > 1. (See the benchmarks in xproto/xproto_test.go for evidence.)

Please see doc.go for more info.

Quick usage
-----------
 go get janouch.name/haven/nexgb
 go run $GOPATH/src/janouch.name/haven/nexgb/examples/create-window/main.go

Přemysl Janouch's fork
----------------------
I've merged BurntSushi/xgb into haven as a subdirectory due to a/ inactivity
upstream, and b/ intentions to make incompatible changes meant to be in sync
with the rest of the project.

It's Not Exactly XGB anymore.

BurntSushi's fork
-----------------
I've forked the XGB repository from Google Code due to inactivity upstream.

Much of the code has been rewritten in an effort to support thread safety
and multiple extensions. Namely, go_client.py has been thrown away in favor
of an xgbgen package.

The biggest parts that *haven't* been rewritten by me are the connection and
authentication handshakes. They're inherently messy, and there's really no
reason to re-work them. The rest of XGB has been completely rewritten.

I like to release my code under the WTFPL, but since I'm starting with someone
else's work, I'm leaving the original license/contributor/author information
in tact.

I suppose I can legitimately release xgbgen under the WTFPL. To be fair, it is
at least as complex as XGB itself. *sigh*
