This is the first development release leading towards the 1.2 series.
What's new in the libwpe 1.1.0 release?
=======================================
- Support building libwpe on Windows.
- New API for observing and setting the view backend state.
- Added a new wpe_renderer_backend_egl_get_platform() function which can
be used to obtain a value which can be passed to eglGetPlatformDisplay()
and eglGetPlatformDisplayEXT().
- Marked old function names containing the "backend" word as deprecated.
The symbols are still available, but it is encouraged to use the new
versions, e.g. prefer wpe_get_major_version() instead of
wpe_backend_get_major_version().
- Marked function table struct parameters passed to some API functions
as "const".
- Fixed headers so including <wpe-egl.h> results in <wpe.h> being included
automatically in the correct order.
- Make instantiation of backends more robust by checking the validity of
interface pointers obtained from the backend.
What is libwpe
==============
libwpe is the library that WPE WebKit uses to load different backend
implementation modules, which themselves provide adaptations for running WPE
WebKit on different platforms.
What is WPE WebKit?
====================
WPE WebKit is an embeddable port of the WebKit rendering engine.
Offering WebKit's full functionality through a set of GObject-based
APIs, it is suitable for projects requiring any kind of web
integration, from hybrid HTML/CSS applications to full-fledged web
browsers.
