note down some results found out during the C++11 transition.
There is now a clear distinction between automatic type conversion
and the ability to construct a new instance
The XV-Viewer widget in our GUI uses four direct calls
to the X-Lib. This was discovered by strict dependency checking,
as mandated by new Debian policy
...this will be the second preview release
Lumiera is still in pre-alpha stage, and thus there
are no proper releases, just preview snapshots
from time to time.
But we're providing Debian packages allready
- upgrade the configuration to a current version
- provide a frontpage with cross-links to other documentation
- define a set of modules; relevant classes and files can be
added to these, to create a exploration path for new readers
- fix a lot of errors in documentation comments
- use a custom configuration for the documentation pages
- tweak the navigation, the sections and further arrangements
Note: this drops some backwards compatibility. We're targeting now
roughly the range between Ubuntu-Precise (LTS) and Debian/testing,
with Debian/stable as the reference system.
The naming scheme for Boost-Libraries was adjusted with Boost-1.42
for Unix-Platforms. Now the '-mt' suffix isn't included any more, but
the libraries available through the usual packaging mechanisms can be
assumed to be thread safe.

initial draft of an RfC to discuss and define the
requirements for other parts of the application to relie on
note: this commit fixes a merge error; the RfC was lost
while combining documentation and code branches
This is very much WIP. Gone out a bit on a limb here in introducing a new
term LPI just to make it possible to explain the idea of interfaces and
plugins. Not sure if it really works though. The real test is, of course,
if it makes sense to someone reading this; or is just a load of jibberish!
The ping-pong continues: this is, yet again, another attempt
to tighten up the text on 'professionalism'.
As ever, corrections, suggestions, etc most welcome.
isn't actually *being subject to* a wider goal
or an inner demand -- isn't that exactly the core
of the distinction between "professionality"
as opposed to an attitude of someone "just doing his job"?
No problem if changes/questions are done to this section. As this section is
so important, the reviewer may correct, add or even reject the corrections
here.
We'll get there, iteratively.
