buzztard
After some more work bt-dec starts to works better. I can
now play buzztard songs in totem, banshee and co. I still
see some issues with seeking though.
I have be going through my pending gtk bugs and patches. I
can see a lot of activity in gtk+ these days. People have
been helpful reviewing and commenting the changes. I could
close two of my bugs with patches to code and docs
committed. At the same time I also understand a few things
better and reworked the focus handling on the tabs. Instead
of listening to focus notifies and then grabbing the primary
widget on the page, I am now overriding the focus vmethod
and grab there. The disadvantage of the previous method was
that the widget has to be realized and mapped, but when you
receive the notify for the tab switch,
it is not necessarily the case yet.
There were some changes on the logging in gstreamer. I had
to adjust some parts of my tests that where intercepting log
messages.
I've started to migrate all modules to use G_DEFINE_TYPE,
G_DEFINE_INTERFACE and GST_BOILERPLATE macros to shorten the
code. I hope I can finish it next month.
At the same time I have cleaned-up my gobject use:
- remove dummy vmethod implementations (empty property
setters/getter)
- no need to check for dispose/finalize in parent class
(just chain up, they always exist)
I improved the error handling in the commandline client and
also in the ui (when
rendering to disk). It catches and handles missing element
messages now. Before
the processing could hang if that happened :/
While doing more work on the changelog I noticed that I
could also use that to
show last save date when warning about unsaved changes. The
change log uses UTC
timestamps, so I had to convert them. I haven't found any
nice API for this
(like give a date and tell what tz it is and ask to convert
to local or any
other tz). The startup check for old change logs does now
some auto cleanup and
sanity checks. Next I'll add some ui for picking one for
recovery.
I recently upgraded on machine to suse 11.3. After that all
machine icons where
in the wrong size. After some digging I noticed that the
gnome/index.theme
misses all the 'scalable' entries and that seems to break my
svg icons. I have
added a workaround, but with that I get 48x48 png scaled up.
Readding the
missing entries works. I filed
a bug, but nobody feels responsible so far :/
Bored from all the refactoring and bug fixing I hacked a bit
on the spectrum
analyser. Its now using cairo (no more gdk_draw_*) and thus
is ready for gtk3
and looks
much nicer. In addition is can do log plots and one can
increase
the resolution.
While playing with orc for gstreamer and googling for simd
information, I can
across some info about the gcc autovectorizer. One can ask
for quite verbose
reports of gcc attempting to use simd for loops. I could
improve the performance
in a few place based on the reports. Unfortunately the only
places where the
vectorization finally succeeded where those where I just
should have used
memset() :/
