Cog 0.19.1 released

This is the first development release leading towards the 0.20 series.

What’s new in Cog 0.19.1?

• Support multiple web views, using the new CogView and CogViewport APIs. Each viewport may display one from a set of web views, and using many viewports is supported as well. Typically platform plug-ins map a viewport to some kind of “window” that can be displayed on screen. Most of the changes in this release are related to this new feature.
• launcher:
  • Add command line flag to disable the built-in key bindings.
  • Add command line flag to control media auto-play behaviour.
  • Handle GApplication activation to avoid a warning.
• core:
  • Moved most of the key binding handling from the Wayland platform into CogView, making it common code for all platforms.
  • Moved platform plug-in selection logic into the library, along with an always-built “fallback” implementation, which simplifies API usage.
  • Avoid leaking web views due to CogShell holding one reference too much on them.
  • The library now takes advantage of symbol visibility, and only the public symbols marked with the COG_API macro will be available for linking from the shared library.
  • Avoid loading the same platform plug-in more than once.
  • Automatically scan the default module path without needing programs to call cog_modules_add_directory() by themselves.
  • Remove the cog_platform_configure() function, in favor of a new cog_init() function which is optional to call, and reorganized setup code to make API usage simpler.
• meson:
  • Fix configuration error when only the Wayland platform plug-in is selected.
• drm:
  • Fix touch region dimensions when the output is rotated by 90 or 270 degrees.
  • Fix crash on iMX.6 (and possibly others) by improving how the CRTC and encoder combination is chosen.
• x11:
  • Add support for using the xcb-keysyms library for handling key input events when the XKB extension is unavailable, either because its usage was disabled at build time, or the extension is missing at runtime.
• wl:
  • Add support for Weston protocols version 13.
  • Fix blurry rendering in some compositors.
  • Add a check for memfd_create() to avoid the need to have write permission in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, which is the case in some systems.
  • Set the opaque region also for non-fullscreen surfaces, resulting in a small performance improvement in some cases.
  • Add support for multiple seats.
  • Remove limit of 16 maximum outputs.
• gtk4, x11, wl:
  • Add support for file choosers using the XDG Desktop Portal through libportal.
  • Add support for changing mouse cursors when hovering links (hand) and text (I-beam).
