This means we have rather tight compiler requirements now.
Beyond that, we expect no serious impact; the most notable
C++14 feature we're likely to use soon is type inference
on lambda arguments.
This switches the Lumiera UI from GTK-2 to GTK-3
Unfortunately, this move breaks two crucial features, which have been
disabled for now: the display of video and our custom timeline widget.
Since both of these require some reworking, which in fact has already
started, we prefer to do the library and framework switch right away.
This too was a long-standing issue. While these practices
basically can be considered "common knowledge", experience
showed those topics are frequently unknown even to practised
programmers.
So now we have a single page dealing with all those issues of
code bloat, dependency poliferation, binary dependency resolution
and issues of transitive and circular library dependencies
This piece of documentation describes an insideous special case, which
some time ago prevented us from switching to --as-needed linking.
We treat this as a special case (and it is way easier to do so
now, after the reorganisation of our test suite).
deliberately, I've left #948 open to nudge me about writing this doc
This is very arkane, hard to find knowledge about some intricacies
of the dynamic library resolution. Very relevant for Lumiera,
since we use a resolution scheme relative to the location
of the executable. Documenting this stuff was a long-standing issue
a long standing TODO to document the actual start-up sequence, which
is implemented this way since a long time now. There was an unwritten
section in the "Linking and Application Structure", which seems the
apropriate place for this kind of intricate techincal details.
Last week, Benny Lyons was here on visit in munich and he was pondering
the idea of an experimental secondary build system, as a way to learn
more about the source structure of Lumiera. This reminded me to fill
some missing parts of the documentation. Possibly this is also the
right moment to land the GTK-3 transition?
