svg_dt_os4 0.6

Short:        Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) datatype
Author:       Fredrik Wikstrom
Uploader:     fredrik a500 org
Type:         util/dtype
Version:      0.6
Replaces:     util/dtype/svg_dt.lha
Requires:     dev/lib/expat-ppc.lha
Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.0.5

Installation:

1. Copy svg.datatype to SYS:Classes/DataTypes/.
2. Copy SVG to DEVS:DataTypes/.

SDK users can just use "make install".

The OS4 native expat.library is needed in order for the datatype to work (it is
not enough to just use a  .l.main glue file!). This library can be found as part
of the expat-ppc (dev/lib) archive on OS4Depot.

Compiling:

"gmake" (NOTE: normal make doesn't work anymore).

Bugs/Problems:

 - Occasional recoverable alert (0100 0009/F)

Changes:

0.6:
 - cleaned up init.c
 - set expat.library required version to 4
 - added sources for the modified static libs and integrated them into the make
system

0.5:
 - improved stability (recompiled using Newlib)
 - NOTE: requires OS4 final (older newlibs won't do!)

0.4:
 - fixed bug regarding DTST_MEMORY
 - added improved descriptor file

0.3:
 - DTST_MEMORY support added

0.2:
 - cleaned up the code in init.c
 - added failure check to __lib_init() (lib now doesn't open if this fails)
 - added semaphore protection around __lib_init() and __lib_exit()
 - now redirects stdout and stderr to NIL:
 - now sets bmh_Masking to mskHasAlpha (should make the background gray in
latest OS4 beta?)

0.1:
 - first released version
