Extra plugins snapshot

[mikedee]

Here is a snapshot of the extra plugins all in 1 package.

They should all work with recent git so please tell me if something doesn't (or if something is not at its latest version)

To install, you have to type make install in the directory for each plugin you want.

FOR GIT

http://www.anykeysoftware.co.uk/compiz/plugins/extra-plugins-snapshot-20070417.tar.gz

FOR 0.5.0

http://www.anykeysoftware.co.uk/compiz/plugins/extra-plugins-0.5.0.2.tar.gz

Currently includes :

3d
bs
fakeargb
jpeg
opacify
resize
showdesktop
trailfocus
wallpaper
animation
crashhandler
flash
kiosk
put
ring
snow
vignettes
widget
bench (updated)
splash (new)
desktopclick
group (updated)
mousegestures
quickchange
screensaver
tile (updated)
wall (updated)
mblur (new)
reflex (new)
snap (new)
winrules

To compile and install all at once, use the make_all.sh script (thanks cyberorg)

None of the plugins marked updated or new have a schema file. If you would like one, then please use bcop to generate it.

'bcop -g plugin.options' will create plugin.schema
'bcop --schema foo plugin.options' will create the same schema, but with the file name 'foo'.

[karmapolice]

Thanks.

Animation is working great but just a note - if you use animation + minimize + fade you will get some weird results.

For example conflicts between magic lamp and minimize or magic lamp + fade (this one looks great :p).

[mikedee]

Animation is working great but just a note - if you use animation + minimize + fade you will get some weird results.

I noticed that too, I think the issues are known about and its safest to turn those off with animation since it provides both those (I think). The issues are under hot debate at the moment with Davids opinion being that its a desired effect and you should not load these plugins at once if you do not want it to look weird.

Also does everyone else notice that the magic lamp animations are way too fast? I changed them to 0.7 from 0.2 because I could not see the animation at all.

[bijoux]

Thanks mike. I can safely say on the behalf of the community your and the rest of the team's efforts do not go unappreciated.

[cyberorg]

We really need a git repo set up and autotoolize extras to avoid situations like group plugin removed by mistake from maniac's server, animation plugin arriving on the ML and other plugins scattered all over the forum.

Thanks for getting all the plugins together in one place.

Edit: BTW, what license does all these plugins carry?

Edit2: Here is the packages with fixed Makefile(put), missing schemas, renamed .schemas to .schema and tile plugin removed as it didn't compile(error below), so the script as below could work.

[mikedee]

OK - I have put up a new version (same filename) with group included, a fixed tile and put schema renamed.

[mikedee]

Updated again to include cornelius new animation version sent to the mailing list.

[mikedee]

And again :)

New schema file for animation

[mikedee]

Updated the original link, the package now includes screensaver.

[MacSlow]

Gee... 26 plugins without counting the core ones... phew! Not bad, not bad! Just a bit hard to find the time to try them all out, in order to see what makes sense for your own needs.

Best regards...

MacSlow

[cornelius]

Thanks Mike for putting this together, and everybody who worked on the plugins :D

Animation's focus-fade shouldn't be an issue anymore (Mike can you update the first post?)

Also, with the new option for Fade in this patch (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/compiz/2007-March/001791.html), there shouldn't be a Fade x Animation conflict anymore. (Animation doesn't provide all features of Fade btw). You can turn off Minimize as it is redundant when Animation is enabled.

[bijoux]

hey cornelius,
Is it possible to make a similar patch but for minimize function only? I would like the fade plugin to handle create/close.

[cornelius]

Then just choose the "fade" effect in Animation for create/close :)

[cornelius]

Mike can you update the animation in the package from git.compiz.org/compiz/plugins/animation ?
I fixed a crash. Also fixed focus wave.

he he.. I am aware of fade in animation, but thats the problem. I don't like how animation plugin fades windows. I get black flashes and artifacts before a window is created, not all the time though, the first few times. On the other hand, the compiz fade plugin work perfectly for me. Just curious if you can provide a patch like I mentioned. If its a hassle, don't worry about it.

Thanks BTW :)

[gnumdk]

The current version of animation plugin is buggy.

When using "Magic Lamp 2" for minimize/unminimize, window appear on screen before animation is finished :(

Falling back to an older version fix the bug.

[stjepan]

And where is inputzoom for Compiz GIT?

[cornelius]

I had a similar problem actually. Do you have Animation before Fade in active_plugins list? (latest version enforces that). Does that work? And in the future, let me know if you see any bugs like that. They can be fixed you know :)

Just curious if you can provide a patch like I mentioned. If its a hassle, don't worry about it.
It didn't work when I first tried it, since (un)minimize & open/close affect each other in fade.c in some weird way. Needs more work to isolate those. But as I said, you shouldn't need this and you should be fine with the fade in Animation.

[wfarr]

And where is inputzoom for Compiz GIT?

Likely removed since Compiz 0.4 combined with Xserver-xorg 1.3 will eliminate the need for it. ;) (We'll have input redirection and scale will work like that now)

Err, I really, really doubt we'll have input redirection in Compiz 0.4 (it's already branched we the IR stuff isn't even in master) and in Xserver 1.3 (which belongs to Xorg 7.2, which already is released without IR).
Maybe in Compiz 0.6 and Xorg 7.3 (the soonest) - but this will still takes half a year at least.

;)

[mikedee]

Just to clarify. Inputzooms days are numbered. If anyone feels like updating it to support current git then I will be very happy.

0.4.0 will not include IR
0.5.0 MIGHT include IR
0.5.2 WILL include IR
0.6.0 WILL include IR

I know for a fact that David is keen to get everything shown at brainshare into head as soon as possible. You will have the support in compiz within a few weeks at most. All you need to wait for then is xorg 7.3. AFAIK that will include software cursor support which is already in compiz.

[maniac]

0.4.0 will not include IR
0.5.0 MIGHT include IR
0.5.2 WILL include IR
0.6.0 WILL include IR

Hmm, strange numbering as IR is a killer feature ... but how cares about numbers? ;)

No doubt about that. But what's the status of his IR Xorg patches? Are they going to be included or do the Xorg guys want something different?

Ah I see. You ought to put that information under the plugin description. (That way you don't have to deal with questions like this he he) This seems to fix the black flashes and artifacts, however, I'm experiencing the same problem as gnumdk (sp?). To reproduce, have animation handle un/minimize (magic lamp 2) and create/close (fade), open 2 windows and minimize them both. Unminimize 1 window and you will see the outline of the second window before it was minimized.
Have you any ideas?


Are there any legal issues as to why ANIM_MAGIC_LAMP2_MAX_WAVES_MIN is set to 3 as oppose to 0? (I have to manually edit the source to achieve a la OSX minimze effect)

[iznogood]

Well, you shouldn't be able to put Animation after Fade in the first place :) (not anymore at least), Compiz won't activate Animation if you do so. Is it not the case for you?

[mikedee]

Ive just updated the link on the first page for recent git changes.

[maniac]

Ive just updated the link on the first page for recent git changes.
If you want, you can do yourself the favour and take so of these plugins out so you dont need to maintain each of them and track core changes. We've prepared a package with plugins we ported for Compiz so far. All plugins now use things like the matching interface and fragment interface where appropriate.

The list includes (plugins being in your package marked by 'x'):
bench (x)
crashhandler (x)
group (x)
jpeg (x)
mblur
neg
put (x)
reflex
ring (x)
showdesktop (x)
snap
snow (x)
splash
text
thumbnail
tile (x)
trailfocus (x)
wall (x)

The plugins can be found here (click on snapshot) (http://gitweb.beryl-project.org/?p=compiz/compiz-plugins-beryl-premerge;a=summary). To compile it, you need BCOP, which can be found here (http://gitweb.beryl-project.org/?p=compiz/bcop;a=summary).

Yes I did get this kind of behavior, however, I didn't know it was an order issue. It could have been because of a few factors (at least from what I can think of) and order was irrelevant in previous animation plugin releases.


cornelius: Just tested the latest animation plugin and its a no go. Compiz just plain crashes when I load it before fade. animation spitted out these during compile:
animation.c:11108: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
animation.c:11109: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
I don't know if thats relevant.

It is. mikedee changed the signature of some core functions this night and the plugins need to be adapted to that.
mikedee, it might have been a good idea to update the ABIVERSION - but I usually forget that stuff, too ;)

[mikedee]

mikedee, it might have been a good idea to update the ABIVERSION - but I usually forget that stuff, too ;)

Yeah - your probably right... Ive updated it now :)

[mikedee]

To compile it, you need BCOP, which can be found here (http://gitweb.beryl-project.org/?p=compiz/bcop;a=summary).

Is there no way to compile your plugins without using BCOP?

[mikedee]

Ive just updated to include neg. I have decided to keep these versions as non-bcop because I want to keep dependencies down.

[mikedee]

Updated again, I have a script to bcop all of the plugins and a new makefile for all the beryl plugins. They are now all together and easier to install.

I have marked new or updated plugins on the first post, unfortunately they do not have schema files yet.

[maniac]

To compile it, you need BCOP, which can be found here (http://gitweb.beryl-project.org/?p=compiz/bcop;a=summary).

Is there no way to compile your plugins without using BCOP?
No, we decided to port all plugins to use BCOP. This has one huge advantage: Code maintenance is way easier. Just take your core changes of today: Without BCOP, I had to change 18 plugins manually. With BCOP, I only needed to change 4 lines in BCOP. Besides that, BCOP will be nice when we'll have XML data as plugin/option description.


I have marked new or updated plugins on the first post, unfortunately they do not have schema files yet.

Yeah, that's right. As far as I know, David wants to write a new gconf-dump when we'll have offline settings reading in core. That will make schema creation easy and this kind of thing then can be done by the Makefile.

Thats why I didn't really go out of my way to generate them ;)

That, and I use ini anyway...

If anyone wants to, Id be grateful ;)

Generating the schemas currently really is a pain. That's why it isn't done yet ;) - but I think we'll get the offline reading stuff soon.

hi eveyone, i have last git version, but plugin resize doesn't work, compiz return this error :

Wall does not work for me, when I want to activate it compiz dies and the error is:
compiz: symbol lookup error: /home/kp/.compiz/plugins/libwall.so: undefined symbol: gluUnProject

Also showDesktop doesn't have a schema file, do I need something new? because it doesn't run when I move my mouse to the corresponding corner

[maniac]

Wall does not work for me, when I want to activate it compiz dies and the error is:
compiz: symbol lookup error: /home/kp/.compiz/plugins/libwall.so: undefined symbol: gluUnProject

Wall needs to be linked with -lGLU. Guess thats an error in the makefile.


Also showDesktop doesn't have a schema file, do I need something new? because it doesn't run when I move my mouse to the corresponding corner
The latest showdesktop replaces cores showdesktop functionality, so to enable it press Ctrl+Alt+D or use the panel shortcut of your DE ;)
The schema file generation is already in the works BTW. BCOP already generates it, we just need to include it in the build system.

[mikedee]

Wall does not work for me, when I want to activate it compiz dies and the error is:
compiz: symbol lookup error: /home/kp/.compiz/plugins/libwall.so: undefined symbol: gluUnProject

This is probably because wall uses glu, you will probably need to change your compiz startup line to something like this.

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libglut.so compiz ...

Also showDesktop doesn't have a schema file, do I need something new? because it doesn't run when I move my mouse to the corresponding corner

None of the beryl plugins have schema files because they use bcop. Showdesktop is now activated using the standard show_desktop action (ie. <Ctrl><Alt>d)

[karmapolice]

Just one question about showdesktop, when the window moves up to show the desktop it goes below my panel but after a second the windows became semi transparent and go on top of the panel, it looks a little weird.

Shared libraries are loaded automatically if you link them correctly ;)
mikedee, please add a '-lGLU' at the end of the LDFLAGS line (line 36) in walls Makefile in your copy. It will work then.

That's ... errm ... not correct ;)
BCOP is just a format to decribe options and has nothing to do with the schema files. As I wrote above, latest GIT BCOP is able to generate the schema files. Pull the latest snapshot from here (http://gitweb.beryl-project.org/?p=compiz/bcop;a=summary) and run bcop -g <plugin.option>, and plugin.schema will be generated.

Nope, sorry - I even didn't generate one yet as this feature is only a couple of minutes old ;)
But we will integrate it into the normal build process, so it will be easy for you to pull them out once that is done.

Well, I guess you have to use the build process at least once to get the *_options.[c|h]. ;)
I don't know how you create your package ATM, but if the user has BCOP installed, it's obviously easy to include that call in a script.

With the BCOP fetched from my above link:
'bcop -g plugin.options' will create plugin.schema
'bcop --schema foo plugin.options' will create the same schema, but with the file name 'foo'.

make: *** [build/libneg_options.lo] Error 1



Quickchange compiled fine as far as I can tell.

Flash compiles fine but segfaults Compiz.

jpeg compiles but has no bcop tar or schema that I can see.

Animation compiles, but segfaults when loaded.

3D compiles fine, loads fine, and works fine except for one bug where all the windows leave pitch black shadows on the cube and windows are a little pixelated.

BS compiles with a warning, and segfaults compiz when loaded:

None of these will compile for 0.5.0 or 0.4.0, Ill try to prepare a package for each. This version is for git only.

I have added a new version for 0.5.0 (should work on 0.4.0 too) in the first post, please report any problems with that.

Just trying some now:

2. Reflex fails to make with the same errors listed above.
3. Neg fails to make with the same errors listed above.
4. Same as above for Thumbnail.


Most of the plugins seem to not like to make.

I have the latest version of bcop installed from git.beryl-project.org/compiz/bcop

This is for the 0.5.0 package. Git wont compile for me because a dependency for metacity 2.18 was added and its a PITA to upgrade GNOME in SUSE. I tried compling git without metacity support but then gtk wouldn't compile. So I tried it without gtk and compiz wouldnt compile. Is there any chance that this dependency could be removed?

[mikedee]

There seems to be trouble with every plugin with a .options file.

It doesnt seem straight forward to back port bcop stuff, unless I am missing something... Ill have a go at installing 0.5.0 later and fix them all.

It was removed yesterday from what I saw. I haven't tested it though since I just used --enable-kde for my window decorator

[wfarr]

Just for informational purposes, I too have BCOP git.

[mikedee]

The problem is that bcop git generates c header files for the current git version of compiz. AFAIK there is no way to get bcop to export for an old version of compiz. You have to either create a new version of bcop or do everything manually (maniac?)

[mikedee]

I have just uploaded 0.5.0.1 which should be 100% compatible with the 0.5.0 release.

Right, that's a bit of a problem. In the future, I guess we should release a BCOP for each Compiz release to avoid that kind of problems.

For 0.5, the following patch, reverse applied to latest git BCOP (patch -p1 -R < this.patch) should BCOP make generate 0.5 compatible code.

Ah, I see. It looks like Trevinho's repo is not completely up-to-date then. It should be a matter of time only until it's updated. For the meantime, your only option is to compile from GIT (http://gitweb.beryl-project.org/?p=compiz/bcop;a=summary) for yourself.

Do you have some sort of error message?

When you say it doesnt work, what exactly happens? (I know that sounds stupid but Im trying to fix it without having to reinstall 0.5.0 and try again ;) )

It seems there is some conflict.

I add ´thumb´ to the last of active plugins´ list. but nothing happens. And the next time when I open gconf-editor, it´s gone.

The thumbanil plugin should be loaded into gconf as 'thumbnail' not 'thumb'

strange bug... :?

[wfarr]

TopRight works here fine. I had to unset it and reset it a few times though.

[franzrogar]

mikedee (and evry@ne, of course ;) ), I've compiled evryting in the 13-april-07 tar and here are my notes:

Schemas

The missing schemas for bench, group, mblur, reflex, ring, showdesktop, snap, splash, thumbnail, tile & wall are HERE (http://franzrogar.googlepages.com/schemas.tar.gz) (with bcop -g plugin.options)

The missing schema for crashhandler: there's no way to do it. After finishined bcoping, it says "segment violation" so I haven't included it.

desktopclick & jpeg doesn't have options file, so I can't make their schemas (if they need them, of course, I dunno)

vignettes, after configure it, doesn't have neither options nor schema files so... same as desktopclick & jpeg

Schema naming

For both bs & neg plugins, the schema file is named "$plugin.schemas" (with an ending "s").

Compiling

I'm not able to compile screensaver plugin... dunno why. Anyway, what are its depedencies?

How must be desktopclick compiled? I've compile the plug-in itself but there's also bmenu zip wich cann't, even, be configured due to some weirdo problem.

Script

So I've updated (maybe it has some mistakes, but it should work) the script to build the -extras with this issues:

1 - It will not install any schema for vignettes, desktopclick, jpeg & crashhandler (info at script)

Evrything else will be compiled, installed & installed schemas.


SEE script in second post after this one.


Thanks in anyway,
Franz Rogar

[mikedee]

Thanks very much.

I am not sure why screensaver or bmenu are not compiling. Posting the errors should help :)

I have updated the snapshot link on the first page with the new schemas and corrections to the schema names.

[franzrogar]

Glad to help :)

About screensaver

First, I forgot to install x11proto-scrnsaver-dev, but now it complains as follow:

linking : build/libscreensaver.lo -> build/libscreensaver.la/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXss


About bmenu

Forgot it... :oops: forgot to install automake (franzrogar hits his head with a hammer)

EDIT:

Updated script:

#!/bin/bash

for plugin in `ls`
do
pushd $plugin
if ($plugin == "desktopclick")
tar xzvf bmenu-0.0.2.tar.gz
cd bmenu
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install
cd ..
elif ($plugin == "vignettes")
./configure --prefix=/usr
fi
make
make install
popd
done

gconftool-2 --shutdown
export GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`gconftool-2 --get-default-source`
for plugin in `ls`
do
pushd $plugin
if ($plugin == "vignettes" || $plugin == "desktopclick")
echo "INFO for " $plugin
echo "No .options file available"
sleep 3
elif ($plugin == "crashhandler")
echo "INFO for " $plugin
echo "No .schema due to segment violation"
sleep 3
else
gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule $plugin.schema
fi
popd
done

The message seems to imply you do not have the XSS-dev package installed (which you seem to do)

You could try running ldconfig as root and see if that fixes it, otherwise I have no idea. Maybe it has a different name in your distro?

[franzrogar]

Thanks mikedee, by bad: it wan't installed. Evrything works perfect now. I also updated the script to compile evryting :)

[mikedee]

Maybe it was smashing yourself on the head that did it... It cant be very good for your brain ;)

[Spillaz]

I also think that the Firefly plugin and Stars plugin should also be ported to compiz. I have salvaged them from the Beryl forums. Here they are

http://smspillaz.googlepages.com/home (On that page, just follow the links)

[tobey]

mikedee. I have these problems.


1. no JPEG plugin shown in gconf with compiz 0.5?

2.No changes to thumbnail´s configurations would take effects.

3.No blur effects, although it´s been actived.

4.mblur just makes window not unmovable with it´s initial key CTRL+F12 pressed.

[Spillaz]

[quote="tobey"]mikedee. I have these problems.


1. no JPEG plugin shown in gconf with compiz 0.5?

I dont think theres a schmea. Besides, you can still activate it ;-)

2.No changes to thumbnail´s configurations would take effects.

No idea

3.No blur effects, although it´s been actived.

Hmm, what graphics card do you have? Tell me also if there is a noticeable distortion under water waves when using water. Also when using blur, does it seems slow? Do you get an error from the terminal that reads "compiz: No Stencil Buffer etc etc etc"

4.mblur just makes window not unmovable with it´s initial key CTRL+F12 pressed.

Again what gfx card?

[tobey]

Now it seems it´s just my card´s problem. Intel 845G.

When I type this in a terminal :
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace gconf

Got this:

compiz: decoration: property ignored because version is 20061011 and decoration plugin version is 20070319

[Snow]: Texture not found : /home/tobey/.compiz/images/snowflake2.png

[Snow]: Loaded Texture /home/tobey/.compiz/images/snowflake_3.png


compiz: No stencil buffer. Region based blur disabled



and mblur not work in beryl, either.

But how come with no decorations? And in gconf-editor. i´ve set the snow pic to /home/tobey/.compiz/images/snowflake_3.png


But if I start compiz at the start session. and it works.

Maybe there´s a conflict with beryl. [/quote]

[bijoux]

I have an issue with wall plugin.
My desktop/background turns black when I initiate the app switcher.
Is this normal behavior with wall plugin? Is it a bug? or a conflict within my settings?

Ok. It looks like a bug. If you can tell me if there is no apparent distortion when you use the water plugin I'll file one. As for your window decoration plugins - how did you install compiz?

[jackkerouac]

Is there some sort of 'master list' of plugins (extra plugins) that explain what exactly the plugin is supposed to do when activated? A plugin like 'decoration' is pretty obvious, but something like 'trailfocus' would not be.

[tobey]

I used to install it from rep. but it seemed that it was not working (as an earlier version compiz was installed on feisty). So i removed it and then installed it by compiling the sources from tar ball.

But it seems OK now. when I use LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace gconf to start compiz. if I have not started beryl-manager in this gnome session. (beryl manager cannot start compiz with decorations)


And yep, as for water plugin, there is no apparent effect.

[bijoux]

thanks mike

And yep, as for water plugin, there is no apparent effect. OK. 2 more quick questions and I'll file a bug

1 Are you using AIGLX or XGL?
2 What X.org Version do you have (7.2 or 7.3)?

[tobey]

Aiglx

XORG : 7.2-0ubuntu11


OK.

I´m not sure if it´s a bug.
But all my statement is true.

[Spillaz]

Ok then - I'll file a bug.

If mikedee can read this it will probably look like this :

Fragment interface is not displaying on Intel GMA chipsets (i810 driver). It appears that the textures affected are being shaded but the output is not displayed to the screen.

Now - uh where DO I post the bug.... ;-)

EDIT : Found it : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10648

You need a newer version of compiz

[intervigilium]

The compiz git updates for metadata seem to have bad effects on most of the plugins in this extra package. All that's necessary to compile the extra plugins cleanly is adding in the extra 0 to the CompPluginVTable structure in each plugin for the GetMetadataProc field. However I can't get compiz to run with the extra plugins anymore, it segfaults on startup. Any ideas on this one?

EDIT: forgot, but I did change all warpPointer calls to use CompScreen* instead

Mike needs to update the package, at least the former Beryl plugins are already adapted for both the metadata changes and the warpPointer changes.

I downloaded the latest snapshot of compiz-plugins-beryl-premerge from gitweb.beryl-project.org, at compile
it gives out:

I also installed the latest bcop snapshot. it installs properly but gives me this:

Hi, Mike, don´t u update the extra plugins for compiz-0.5.0 any more?

(How) Can I compile the them for 0.5.0?

[xanas3712]

this bcop thing is confusing me. Several of the plugins for 0.50 require it like tile, but at least the one I got from the snapthot of the gitweb.beryl-project.org doesn't seem to work as described.. or at all that I can tell. There is no -g option in the thing, and the --source= option didn't work either. It doesn't seem to do anything...

Well, I understand you're confused ;)
The problem is that BCOP is a bit in flux at the moment due to some Compiz core changes concerning metadata for plugins. That's why BCOP has been rewritten in XSLT, and that's why BCOP doesn't generate Gconf schemas at the moment. To generate Gconf schemas, you would need that snapshot (http://gitweb.beryl-project.org/?p=compcomm/libraries/bcop;a=snapshot;h=0320d3fb385f3350029ac7463c244423 4c960e92).

Thanks. I had tried one of the other prior snapshots but not the right one apparently.

Hi,

Just wanted to say that most of the plugins don't work with current git, anyone maintaining them?

[maniac]

Hi,

Just wanted to say that most of the plugins don't work with current git, anyone maintaining them?
Can you specify "most of the plugins" a bit more detailed?

The GIT (working with Compiz GIT versions) for most of the plugins can be found here (http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=compcomm/plugins/beryl-premerge;a=summary). Animation is here (http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=compcomm/plugins/animation;a=summary), winrules is here (http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=compcomm/plugins/winrules;a=summary).

i tried using beryl-premerge plugins but i cant make them, im not in my pc right now, ill post the error later. Animation from git does work. The plugins im trying to use are: showdesktop, put, widget.

Maniac,
Please update beryl-premerge plugins to work with current git.
Thanks

[maniac]

Maniac,

Actually, the GIT version of them does work with current GIT (at least here ;) ) - you just have to make sure that you always have the latest BCOP.

[fldc]

I want an updated build of widget for git ;)
