AUTHORS, CONTRIBUTORS: still useful, add people from git log, clean up. LICENSE: Google doesn't really grant you shit anymore. The EU doesn't have software patents either, so it doesn't affect me directly. README, doc.go: erase mentions of unmaintained xgbutil.

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*
