1. Started feeding Evas_Text_Props to the font engine instead of Evas_BiDi_Props because no we have more general text properties as well - i.e, OpenType stuff.
2. Full Harfbuzz integration which gets compiled in by default (if harfbuzz is present) but only works if the environment variable EVAS_USE_OT is set to 1 (because OT is way slower than regular text rendering).
3. Cleaned the font querying/drawing functions.
4. Added font_shaped function to all of the engines, which by default calls teh harfbuzz stuff (default on linux that is).
5. Moved some source files around a bit to make more sense.
SVN revision: 56455
Changing textblock and text objects to work with Eina_Unicode instead of utf8 (internally, API remains intact).
Started relying on new fribidi 0.19.2 instead of the old fribidi.
A lot of fixes to the font engine.
Renaming of evas_common_font_utf8_* to evas_common_encoding_utf8_*
This relies on new Eina changes and types: Eina_Unicode, Eina_UStrbuf and Eina_UStringshare.
SVN revision: 50595
If you are having any problems with Arabic shaping please make sure you have FriBiDi version 0.19.2 installed at the time of compilation. If your distro doesn't have that version yet, make them upgrade, it's an year and a half old.

rendering. to turn on:
1.
configure with --enable-async-render
2.
export EVAS_RENDER_MODE=non-blocking
presto. necessitates some api swizzling (thus the expedite. ecore etc. changes)
the kind of results you get on a desktop:

Subject: [E-devel] [evas] Add RGBA -> grayscale 64 entries palette conversion
This is needed for E-Ink devices outta there. Names of new files,
configure.ac variables and macros are awful, suggestions are welcome.

is it ok?
1. it can be --disabled in evas's configure, but i think it works WITHOUT
disabling it (runtime) as it falls back to the old way of loading
2. it may cause build problems on some platforms - without it being enabled
we won't find out, so enable.
3. it needs enabling runtime to make use of it so it should be safe for now
until you enable it.
what is it?
it is a SHARED cache server - that means images loaded are loaded BY the
cache server (not by the actual process using evas). images are shared via
shared memory segments (shm_open + mmap). this means only 1 copy is in all
ram at any time - no matter how many processes need it , and its only loaded
once. also if another app has already loaded the same data - and its in the
cache or active hash, then another process needing the same stuff will avoid
the loads as it will just get instant replies from the cache of "image already
there". as it runs in its own process it can also time-out images from the
cache too.
right now you enable it by doing 2 things
1. run evas_cserve (it has cmd-line options to configure cache etc.
2. export EVAS_CSERVE=1 (im the environment of apps that should use the cache
server).
it works (for me) without crashes or problems. except for the following:
1. preloading doesnt work so its disabled if cserve is enabled. thisis
because the load threads interfere withthe unix comms socket causing
problems. this need to really change and have the cserve know about/do
preload and let the select() on the evas async events fd listen for the
unsolicited reply "load done". but it's not broken - simple preloads are
syncronous and forced if cserve is enabled (at build time).
2. if cserve is killed/crashes every app using it will have a bad day. baaad
day. so dont do it. also cserve may be vulnerable to apps crashing on it - it
may also exit with sigpipe. this needs fixing.
3. if the apps load using relative paths - this will break as it doesnt
account for the CWD of the client currently. will be fixed.
4. no way to change cache config runtime (yet)
5. no way to get internal cache state (yet).
6. if cache server exist - it wont clean up the shmem file nodes in /dev/shm
- it will clean on restart (remove the old junk). this needs fixing.
if you fine other issues - let me know.
things for the future:
1. now its a separate server.. the server could do async http etc. loads too
2. as a server it could monitor history of usage of files and images and
auto-pre-load files it knows historically are loaded then whose data is
immediately accessed.
3. the same infra could be used to share font loads (freetype and/or
fontconfig data).
4. ultimately being able to share rendered font glyphs will help a lot too.
5. it could, on its own, monitor "free memory" and when free memory runs
load, reduce cache size dynamically. (improving low memory situations).
6. it should get a gui to query cache state/contents and display visually.
this would be awesome to have a list of thumbnails that show whats in the
cache, how many referencesa they have, last active timestamps etc.
blah blah.
please let me know if the build is broken asap though as i will vanish
offline for a bit in about 24hrs...

this (apparently) makes right-to-left work for display. that means:

i don't read (or write ... or speak) an of these...
so.. i'll leave it up to others to find bugs/problems and send patches.
thanks a huge amount to TAsn for the patch!

enabled. the blending is not working/complete. the neon for fills and copies
isnt actually faster though currently :(
2. scalecache infra - disabled for now. working on it.
SVN revision: 39723
tyo fix up some of these breaks first and there isn't a lot of time devoted
to this. so revert this. it's in svn history so we can dig it out any time we
like.
SVN revision: 37453
1. nearest scaling is now broken - it's always linear interpolation. this
will lead to slowdowns. i need to fix this - a must.
2. i think it's time i put in a transformed image cache that can cache an
image object at a transform (and share it) automatically.
3. transforms in non-software-engines will not work - broken. need to at
least do xrender and gl engines.
any volunteers to help?
SVN revision: 37447
- some enignes break as they dont have the stubbed out functions, and
xrender/gl engines dont even implement the drawing and need to (but are
stubbed out).

sometimes slower)
2. --enable-pthreads will enable multi-threaded rendering (current support is
for up to 4 threads so if you have a new fanled quad core or dual cpu dual
core box or whatever you will in theory be able to max moe of its cpu grunt
with the software rendering engine. this can only be done because i added the
pipelines which means almsot entirely lock-free multithreading internally in
evas. the only locks are for fonts but with a little work i might be able to
remove some/most of those too)
for now pthreaded rendering likely will be linux only (it relies on sched.h
for setting scheduler params to force the slave threads to run on separate
cpu's as linux likes to keep them on the same cpu otherwise and thus we get
no speedups at all - only slowdowns).
aso note that it is a bit of a mixed bag. complex ops (like smooth scaling
with alpha blending) get speedups, but simple ops (like blits/fills) slow down.
this all neds examination and tweaking still - but it's a start.

renderer gets threaded). if i thread at the simplest levels (low down in for
example the image scaler code - one of the most expensvie gfx routnes) on an
actual dual core system - performance drops by 40%. this just doesn't work
well at that level. thread creates and joins per render op are just a bad
thing (tm) :) so this really needs to go in much higher up and that presents
problems. :( i will need to clearly define entry and exit points to and from
threaded space (and thus all the locks) - remove all nested calls (where
internal code goes thru the same entry/exit points traditionally so it
deadlocks itself).. anyway - this here has all that code stripepd out i
played with - it is just the autofoo and build stuff so we can turn on/off
thread support at will in the build.

do NOT depend on order operation precedence. it broke scaling. laos other
completely bizarre mmx things were going wrong with mm7 ending up not 0 so
i've had to force it to be 0.
