Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] softmmu/vl: Deprecate old and crufty display ui options
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2021 11:20:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210825092023.81396-1-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)

-display sdl uses a hand-crafted parser in vl.c, which is quite ugly
since the other parts of -display have been QAPIfied already. A straight
conversion to QAPI is not advisable since the "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab"
parameters are not the best solution anyway. So this patch series
introduces a new "grab-mod" parameter as replacement instead and then
deprecates the old and crufty options.

While we're at it, the third patch also suggests to deprecated the
old -sdl and -curses top-level options.

v2:
 - Update version numbers to 6.2
 - Added Acked-bys from Peter Krempa

Thomas Huth (3):
  softmmu/vl: Add a "grab-mod" parameter to the -display sdl option
  softmmu/vl: Deprecate the old grab options
  softmmu/vl: Deprecate the -sdl and -curses option
