Pre Release Testing:
====================
* check the version number
VERSION="$(cat VERSION)"
TAG="v${VERSION}"
git tag -s "${TAG}" -m "xboxdrv ${TAG}"
# Normal Source
git archive --format=tar --prefix="xboxdrv-linux-${VERSION}/" ${TAG} | bzip2 -c > /tmp/xboxdrv-linux-${VERSION}.tar.bz2
git push --tags
Ubuntu Package:
===============
add libudev, libusb-1.0 to builddependencies
# Ubuntu 10.10
$ cd ../debian/
$ git checkout master
$ git-import-orig -u 0.7.2 ~/projects/xboxdrv/htdocs/xboxdrv-linux-0.7.2.tar.bz2
$ dch -v "0.7.2-1" "xboxdrv 0.7.2 release"
$ git-buildpackage --git-no-create-orig --git-tag --git-builder="debuild -S"
$ sudo pbuilder --build --basetgz /var/cache/pbuilder/base-maverick.tgz ../xboxdrv_0.7.2-1.dsc
$ dput my-ppa ../xboxdrv_0.7.2-1_source.changes
# Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS)
$ cd ../debian/
$ git checkout master-lts
$ git merge master
$ dch -b -v "0.7.2-1~lucid1" --distribution lucid "xboxdrv 0.7.2 backport"
$ git-buildpackage --git-no-create-orig --git-debian-branch=master-lts --git-tag --git-builder="debuild -S"
$ sudo pbuilder --build --basetgz /var/cache/pbuilder/base-lucid.tgz ../xboxdrv_0.7.2-1~lucid1.dsc
$ dput my-ppa ../xboxdrv_0.7.2-1~lucid1_source.changes
Stuff to do before 0.7.2 release:
=================================
* daemon on regular xboxdrv have different controller orderings
* swap controller slots via dbus
* look at Joy2key for better mouse support (mouse acceleration)
* reenable USBThread, maybe add a way to cancel stuff to it if possible?
* add a fun modifier that counts button presses and other useless stuff
- count button presses (done)
- count time a button is held down, both in min:sec and percent
- count distance an axis travels
* give proper exit code when no controller is found
* add FIFO/Socket or Dbus to send commands to xboxdrv (FIFO is
easiest, but least flexible, dbus is new and cool, but an extra
dependency)
dbus-send --session --type=method_call \
--print-reply \
--dest=org.gnome.Rhythmbox \
/org/gnome/Rhythmbox/Player \
org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect
* add --ui-buttonmap A=KEY_A:KEY_B:1000:1
the last 0/1 parameter tells if it should do:
- 0: send on release
- 1: always send when pressed
different games might require different behaviours, so it should be an user option
* add double shift buttons: L+R+start
* add execv: that takes arguments in ARG0:ARG1,... style
* add system: that takes arguments "ARG0 ARG1 ..." style
* factory must create four wireless controllers for each wireless USB device
* add match rule for wireless id
* add --exclued, --exclude-group as ControllerMatchRules
* XboxdrvThread or XboxGenericController must hold information on
their: bus:dev, vendor:product and other potentially useful
information, match rule must match against controller, not
udev_device
-> doesn't work, as we don't have a controller at that point
-> match against abstract ControllerInfo object?
-> get_busnum()
-> get_devnum()
-> figure out potential matches early and save the valid slots?
-> ugly but could work
* turn ControllerSlot into ControllerSlotPtr (careful with loop in the refcount)
* allow setting a --default-name from which all other controller names
are derived
* add [controller0/config0] support for ControllerOptions
* add [controller0] support for ControllerSlotOptions
* sort options a bit more between global ones, slot local ones and
config local ones
* BTN_A@joystick.1 doesn't work for a single joystick, why?
* write relaxation modifier/filter
* make extra-event creation a bit more clever, i.e. only create BTN_A
when needed, not when another button is present that can be used to
identify the device as joystick, also document exactly which
buttons/axis combinations are valid.
* allow something like:
void = BTN_A
to create empty events on uinput
Daemon
======
* improve output in daemon mode, when --quiet is not given print the
number of allocated controller slots
* how exactly does daemon interact with wireless pads?!
-> it doesn't, only used the first gamepad or the one given by --wid
-> either use all, allow an option to say how many to use
-> launch listener threads on each port, but only 'activate' the
slot when the controller is connected
* after every thread cleanup, to an enumeration over all USB devices,
find those not currently used by a Slot and recreate them, this
should fix resume issues, this would also fix the issue with
ignoring controllers when all slots are full
Other Stuff
===========
* in INI files allow:
[xboxdrv]
ui-buttonmap = A=BTN_A,B=BTN_B,...
- in general cleanup config handling, turn almost everything into
proper functions and use the same functions for both cmdline and ini
* --ui-axismap LT=KEY_A:KEY_B:1
Here KEY_B is the key you want to send and KEY_A is a random other key
that you don't need. It's a hack as mapping both to KEY_B seems to
cause some trouble with automatic key repeat for some reason. Note
that you must not combine this with --trigger-as-zaxis as that will
disable LT and RT
* check how daemon reacts on suspend
- suspending the computer leads to LIBUSB_ERROR_IO, unplugging the
controller leads to LIBUSB_ERROR_OTHER
- errno is set to EBUSY
- the device handle can't be reused, device has to be reallocated
- integrate this with the "keep backlog of devices currently in use"
* remember controllers that couldn't be used when all slots where full
and use them when a slot got free
* improve output on which uinput devices are created (even with udev
there doesn't seem to be a bullet proof way to detect what gets
created)
* do modifier/filter dump when --verbose is given, make verbose
overall more useful
* remove uinput.send_rel_repetitive() replace with just EventHandler::update()
* add --device-usbid TYPE.SLOT=VENDOR:PRODUCT:VERSION
* allow multiple controllers in non-daemon mode
* make more use of percentance values (in deadzone filter for example)
* add extra arguments to --on-connect and --on-disconnect (controller name, usb path, etc.)
* boost::lexical_cast<> error messages are useless, make some better ones
* couldn't convert 'XK_Page_Up' to enum, not a member of X11Keysym
currenty code can't handle multple names for a single key
* --match again sysname could make sense, seems somewhat constant:
"5-2" Xbox1 controller results in "5-2.1", due to being really two
devices, would help to now how exactly those are formed
* --four-way-restrictor for the dpad?
- keep whatever direction is pressed first, don't allow walking over diagonals?
- always keep last main direction until another main direction got pressed?
- --disable-dpad-diagonals ur,dl,dl
* extend usbid match rule to bcd device
* get rid of all std::cout stuff when using detached daemon, redirect
log output to a file somewhere else:
--silent: stops event output
--quiet: stops all stdout output (automatically used when --detach is given)
--verbose: print info level log output
--debug: print debug level log output
Stuff to do before 0.7.3 release:
=================================
* turn EnumBox into singleton
* allow EnumBox to have multiple names per values per key
* allow --modifier help, --ui-buttonmap X2^help
* move XBOX_BTN_UNKNOWN behind XBOX_BTN_MAX (or make it -1), so
iteration can start from 0 instead of 1, also fix incorrect
iterations all over the place -> doesn't work as some code uses
XBOX_BTN_UNKNOWN as 'no button is pressed'
* document significant patches in AUTHORS
2 Added latest version of runxboxdrv from Michael Rans <rans@email.com>
1 Added trigger deadzone patch from Jan Henning Thorsen <git@flodhest.net> with a few changes
1 Applied daniel åkerud <daniel.akerud@gmail.com>'s SIGTERM patch
1 Applied low latency patch from daniel åkerud <daniel.akerud@gmail.com>
1 Author: Aaron Denney <wnoise@ofb.net>
1 hal daemon from Thomas Debouverie <debouverie_thomas@yahoo.fr>
1 Implemented --ui-buttonmap A=BTN_A@{device_id} ??!?!?
* need to hide/disable the toggle button from the UIButtonmap
- maybe implement some full post-parsing option verification to
check for conflicts and necessary modifications?
- Options::finish() to do final things?
Stuff to do before 0.7.x release:
=================================
* add Wiimote and PS3 bluetooth support
* -R, --rumble-test is broken for FirestormDualController (has no analog triggers)
* add ABS support to macros events (need to deal with min/max)
* add support for pairing the controller to the PC (or zero)
--ps3-pair 00:00:00:00:00:00
--ps3-pair-with-bluetooth
* get rid of set_button()/get_button(), turn the message objects into full classes
* make chatpad configurable:
--ui-chatpad a=KEY_A,green+a=SHIFT_X+KEY_B,...
* make sure that XK_??? names work with keys that are
shifted/mode_switched in the keymap, i.e. send key combination
* can't parse:
--ui-axismap x2=2-ABS_X,y2=2-ABS_Y
only this works:
--ui-axismap x2=abs:2-ABS_X,y2=abs:2-ABS_Y
implement better guessing
* current deadzone code messes up the diagonals
* shifted axis without default mapping don't work:
./xboxdrv --ui-axismap lb+x1^cal:-64000:0:64000
in those cases the default mapping for the unshifted axis should be used
* add analog emulation for button (i.e. the longer its pressed, the higher the value)
* write UIEvent::from_string()
* basic Dualstrike mouse emulation with absolute position:
./xboxdrv-dualstrike \
--ui-clear \
--ui-buttonmap rb=key:1-BTN_LEFT,lb=key:1-BTN_RIGHT \
--ui-axismap x2^cal:-25000:0:25000=abs:1-ABS_X,y2^cal:-25000:0:25000=abs:1-ABS_Y \
--ui-axismap x1=KEY_LEFT:KEY_RIGHT,y1=KEY_DOWN:KEY_UP -s
Chatpad

http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/input-devices/108554-xbox360-chatpad-awsome-backlit-mini-keyboard-16.html#post1256444
* change default axis/button map depending on controller type (tricky as
type is only really known after the axis/buttonmap as already been
build):
* remove guide button from default mapping when its an Xbox1 controller
* guitar handling was changed in a4e1003cba0ff925358ce5ed84d2bf9a728e93d6
* REL_ events could need acceleration support, as mouse emulation is currently kind of imprecise
Stuff to do before 0.7.x release:
=================================
* add extra checks to make sure the evdev buttons and axis given exist on the current device
* invert y axis on --evdev
* allow --type to work even when --device-by-id is not given
* axis emulation
--ui-axisemulation A:B=ABS_X:5
* match by protocol not, just vendor/product, from xpad.c:
/* Xbox 360 has a vendor-specific class, so we cannot match it with only
* USB_INTERFACE_INFO (also specifically refused by USB subsystem), so we
* match against vendor id as well. Wired Xbox 360 devices have protocol 1,
* wireless controllers have protocol 129. */
#define XPAD_XBOX360_VENDOR_PROTOCOL(vend,pr) \
.match_flags = USB_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_VENDOR | USB_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_INT_INFO, \
.idVendor = (vend), \

--ui-axismap LT=KEY_A:KEY_A:1
Feature
=======
* figure out a way to make userspace force feedback driver not become dead processes
* test TR:Anniversary with max effect 16
fixme:dinput:joy_polldev joystick cannot handle type 21 event (code 0) <- 21 == EV_FF (status report?)

Later versions:
===============
* The World Tour wireless guitar have 5 buttons and a
slide. Currently, the slide is mapped to the x axis, but I don't
know if it allows multiple presses at once. I don't have a Xbox, so
I don't know if it is allowed at all in the console.
Colour: Button: Value in X1 (slide):
Green A -27500
Red B -12900
Yellow Y +7000
Blue X +18500
Orange LB1 +32767
(None) (None) -300
* send FF status reports (maybe, is that used by anything?)
* figure out the max values of force feedback effects so that stuff is
mapped more properly (kind of done, could need verification)
* figure out which devices xorg/hal handles as keyboard and how to
make it always happen, seems to require two keyboard keys, devices
with only one aren't registered
* report more precisly what devices got created, include device name (HAL has that information)
* add support for LED messages (can this be used by anything?)
Stuff to do before 0.8.0 release:
=================================
* Playstation 3 controller bluetooth support
- http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html
- http://www.motioninjoy.com/
- figure out what the remaining unknown bits mean:
data from just pluging the controller in and out a few times
without much pause inbetween:
