At the time when I started this project, there was no decent rendering
|
|
|
|
|
interface for X11 other than DPS.

Since then, there has been a large amount of work on a simple and
|
|
|
|
|
clean X server extension, Xrender, which provides the basis for just
|
|
|
|
|
such an interface.

Rendering libraries that are being built above Xrender include Xft, a
|
|
|
|
|
font rendering library built on FreeType; Cairo, a geometry rendering
|
|
|
|
|
library that provides PostScript-like rendering primitives but with
|
|
|
|
|
from-the-ground support for Porter-Duff compositing (transparency);
|
|
|
|
|
Pango, a high-level typesetting library.

If your application uses DPS, please consider porting it to the above libraries.

The client-side DPS software was included and built by default (except
|
|
|
|
|
as noted below) in the X.Org X11R6.8 release series. The client-side
|
|
|
|
|
software was included, but not built unless specifically
|
|
|
|
|
configured by the builder, in the X.Org X11R6.9 release series.
|
|
|
|
|
The client-side DPS software is no longer included in X11R7.0 or
|
|
|
|
|
later releases.

<para>
|
|
|
|
|
The server-side software is not included in any X.Org release for
|
|
|
|
|
licensing reasons; the code is still available
|
|
|
|
|
from <ulink url="http://dps.sourceforge.net">the DPS extension site</ulink>;
|
|
|
|
|
it is not known whether it still compiles.
