[gephex-devel] Overview of gephex-0.5 design discussion

[Georg Seidel]

Motivated by the recent post of Manuel, I decided to create
a list of the posts relevant to the gephex-0.5 design, loosely
grouped by topic.


  1/ Initial ideas
  ---------------------------

   http://lists.gephex.org/pipermail/gephex-devel/2004-January/000010.html
    [about the build system to use]

   http://lists.gephex.org/pipermail/gephex-devel/2004-February/000040.html
    [about gidlc, the interface compiler and our small interface definition language]

   http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gephex.devel/49
    [about specification format for plugins, links, units]

   http://lists.gephex.org/pipermail/gephex-devel/2004-May/000070.html
    [overview of 0.5 goals, scripting language discussion]

   http://lists.gephex.org/pipermail/gephex-devel/2004-August/000108.html
    [about handling of time]

   http://lists.gephex.org/pipermail/gephex-devel/2004-November/000217.html
    [changes decided during piksel04:
     remove state from units, use structs instead of function tables,
     c-like core interface for easier integration into scripting languages,
     unified optimization handling with "lazy-if" approach]

   http://lists.gephex.org/pipermail/gephex-devel/2004-November/000235.html
    [c++ interface for units and links]


  3/ Serialisation of links

    [textual representation of links]

   http://lists.gephex.org/pipermail/gephex-devel/2005-February/000415.html

    [about introducing subtyping into the 0.5 type system]


   5/ GUI
