08:50.04 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: Add a new bio.h private wrapper header for consistently defining native and
08:50.04 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: standard I/O interfaces provided via stdio.h, unistd.h, io.h, and fcntl.h.
08:50.05 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: remove the 300+ instances of a HAVE_UNISTD_H block throughout with a simple
08:50.09 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: include of bio.h. this change was also motivated by the need to remove all of
08:50.11 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: the header includes from the windows-specific config_win32.h (so that winsock2.h
08:50.13 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: can be included before windows.h cleanly). of course, needs windows testing and

20:50.10 brlcad the comments are about as interesting as the poll
20:51.03 brlcad which I suppose are all for the 'Other' option
20:51.54 yukonbob is that a derogatory comment? -- /me thinks the poll is kinda silly, but the comments are somewhat interesting (not necessarily for their content, but what they reflect deomgraphically)
20:52.27 brlcad not in the least
20:53.16 brlcad it is an interesting poll, ableit highly undersampled so easily biased towards any language with the right posting
20:54.08 ``Erik holy crap that's a lot of tcl
20:54.12 yukonbob ah -- not sure... like I said the poll is a bit like "which is better, emacs or vi?", and it's been discussed here too, that the language itself often limited not by it's syntax/capabilities, but the component between the keyboard-and-chair...
20:54.20 brlcad i mean, ask a thousand web application developers what their favorite scripting language is vs asking a thousand sys admins and I'd bet you'd get totally different answers
20:55.47 yukonbob is true - but I'm assuming this is "general" kind of sample, geared to Linux users obviously -- I was there looking for details on an article I browsed off the rack (wmctrl), and found that poll... was surprised by Tcl's representationo...
20:57.29 brlcad yeah
20:58.33 brlcad though for as many scripting languages are represented, to have 7 big names, and then leave out one that is undoubtedly higher than the rest kinda makes it a blatent ommission worth commenting on
20:58.47 brlcad that or some tcl group got wind of the poll and are biasing the comments
20:59.26 brlcad or ar the only "Other" responders that are following the instruction (to comment below) ;)

21:16.41 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30438 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS:
21:16.41 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: Bob fixed a bug in the X11 framebuffer interface where it would cause the entire
21:16.41 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: X11 display to go black or not depending on whether the framebuffer window had
21:16.41 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: focus or not. this issue was related to a problem with the visual type and
21:16.42 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: colormapping where a bad visual was being selected. now it selects a
21:16.45 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: truecolorvisual (instead of directcolor iirc).
21:18.12 CIA-32 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30439 10/brlcad/trunk/NEWS: like the X framebuffer type, Bob added the same functionality to the ogl framebuffer where the user can query the color value underneath the cursor by right-clicking in the framebuffer window.
