description:
Raw framebuffer display driver: added; 64bit fixes and source code maintenance
adjustments merged in from TEKlib; X11 driver: Now using the XVid extension
and a more sophisticated window opening procedure to much better support
fullscreen applications; Visual, displays, Drawable: Added TVCMD_FLUSH command
to TVRequest, flush() method and a dirty flag indicating window changes;
Visual, Lua bindings: Added length argument to textSize(); Args: Partly
rewritten, now handles missing keywords correctly in /M/K modifiers; Region:
added trans(), isNull(); Area:layout() now handles blits in transposed drawing
contexts; Drawable:getClipRect() added; Frame:layoutBorder() split off from
layout(); ListGadget: fixedto work in absence of a style sheet;
Window:addBlit() added, update() now calls flush() after repaints

+
+The raw framebuffer driver is available as part of the commercially
+supported version. Drawing primitives, clipping, and antialiased
+fonts are provided, and rendering can be targeted to user-supplied
+memory. This driver implements no input and serves as a template
+(or skeleton) for specializations in a target context, like custom
+hardware or a 3D game or simulation. For testing and debugging, the
+raw framebuffer driver is recursive; by plugging in another display
+driver, an instant visualization device and input source can be
+provided.
