Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: EOF of Standard Type Services Framework (STSF) 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Alan Coopersmith 1.3 Date of This Document: 10 February, 2006 4. Technical Description End of Feature of Standard Type Services Framework (STSF) --------------------------------------------------------- PSARC 2002/061 introduced the Standard Type Services Framework (STSF) as a new API for applications to use in rendering text for output to bitmapped or raster graphics devices. STSF was released as open source, and delivered in Solaris 9 Update 6 and Solaris 10, but was not adopted by any software outside of the STSF project, and funding for the project ended in 2004. The Xft2 API from the open source community has been widely adopted instead, including by a number of projects shipping in Solaris, and will be the API all further text rendering work will be concentrated on. This case announces the obsolesence of the STSF system in a patch release of Solaris, and removes it from a minor release of Solaris that ships no sooner than one year after the EOF announcement. (Current schedules for these are to announce in S10U2 and remove in the release currently known as "Nevada.") This case obsoletes/removes these interfaces introduced by the original STSF case and follow-ons: Prior Interface Classification Comments ______________________ _________________ ____________________________ ST Client Library API Evolving PSARC 2002/061 Xst Client API Evolving PSARC 2002/061 XST Extension Protocol Evolving PSARC 2002/061 xstls Evolving PSARC 2002/061 stfontserverd protocol Project Private PSARC 2002/061 /var/run/stsf_door Project Private PSARC 2002/061 XST extension in Xsun PSARC 2002/061 XST extension in Xorg Evolving PSARC 2004/187 svc:/application/font/stfsloader Evolving PSARC 2004/752 Other than above software being removed, all other consumers of the STSF & XST APIs in Solaris were modified to not use those APIs before Solaris 10 shipped. These prior consumers no longer use STSF in Solaris 10 and later releases: xclock PSARC 2002/061 Xft2 library LSARC 2003/274 Several GNOME cases incorrectly listed a dependency on STSF in their interface tables - at no time did GNOME on Solaris call or link with any STSF or XST API's, but instead it has always called libXft2, which previously provided a wrapper around the XST API without requiring any change to the calling application. When STSF is removed, contracts between STSF and these cases will be considered cancelled for all releases starting with the one STSF is removed from: STSF dependency on fontconfig LSARC 2003/273 STSF dependency on freetype LSARC 2002/291 The complete list of files & packages removed from Solaris will be: SUNWstsf - removed entire package: /usr/include/st.h /usr/include/sttypes.h /usr/include/stprivate.h /usr/lib/libST.so /usr/lib/libST.so.1 /usr/lib/sparcv9/libST.so /usr/lib/sparcv9/libST.so.1 /usr/lib/ST/libstsf.so.1 /usr/lib/ST/stfontserverd /usr/lib/ST/stfsloader /usr/lib/ST/dropins/freetype2.so SUNWstsfr - removed entire package: /var/svc/manifest/application/font/stfsloader.xml SUNWxwxst - removed entire package: /usr/openwin/bin/xstls /usr/openwin/lib/libXst.so /usr/openwin/lib/libXst.so.1 /usr/openwin/lib/sparcv9/libXst.so /usr/openwin/lib/sparcv9/libXst.so.1 /usr/openwin/server/modules/SUNWXst.so.1 SUNWxorg-server - removed file: /usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/libXst.so 6.
