<h3>Version 0.95.1 released</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Window Maker 0.95.1 was released on January 29th 2012.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The last official Window Maker release was version 0.92.0 from 2006, and version 0.95.1 contains many bug fixes and
|
|
also a few new features.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>New features and highlights</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following list is incomplete, but should give a first-order approximation to the new features in
|
|
this release. For the truly curious among you, reading through <code>git log</code> is the only complete source of
|
|
information.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/6924454836b3a9432def2749f093ea060ac82e97">Left Half / Right Half Maximize</a>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/cf62d1591f5aef1e6760a8c0881a6de97ae26e92">Maximus: tiled maximization</a>.
|
|
Maximizes windows such that it occupies the largest area without overlapping others.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/a063338175511c4e6af211cef9f2c8a555d7cb44">New mouse-resizing functionality</a>.
|
|
Windows can now be resized vertically (horizontally) using MOD+Wheel (CTRL+Wheel).</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/05720d97076ffc1569e50d904b998ec99c3d3d4e">History and TAB completion in dialogs</a>.
|
|
To use this new functionality in your old WMRootMenu, replace
|
|
%a by %A in the relevant entry. It will look like this <code>(Run..., SHEXEC, "%A(Run, Type command:)")</code>. Or use
|
|
<code>wmgenmenu</code> to generate a new menu.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/a257e16593bb471662ce46f65d489c2ba6d87813">Bouncing appicon effect</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>New applications (<a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/1861880239634774bf898175a3155b7c7cd9b59c">wmgenmenu</a> and wmmenugen)
|
|
to generate the root menu automatically by looking which applications you have on your $PATH. Translations to German,
|
|
<a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/077a2eaa71623421eaffc234c30e6d40a52f0220">Spanish and French</a> of
|
|
menus generated by wmgenmenu.</p>
|

|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/56d856878743ec2d3b8d98ab6a0b61a6b2c99129">Automatic detection of configuration changes</a>.
|
|
Linux users whose kernel supports the <a href=
|
|
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inotify">inotify</a> mechanism have their configuration changes
|
|
detected automatically without polling, reducing the number of CPU wakeups.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/9318a7f42870753bd6b8c306573936369aa819f4">Improved dockapp recognition.</a></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>And many trivial things which reduce little annoyances one might have. For example, an option was added to
|
|
control whether or not Window Maker should do
|
|
<a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/d6c134f420bfa1cd6b6a9474d01548933b559901">automatic workspace switching</a>
|
|
to satisfy a focus request from a window located in another workspace.</p>

<p> (For developers). The <a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/442e3876c6e5a78c6ed385ec204647553f45c168">addition</a> of a debian/
|
|

|
|
(needs a bit more work to be bug-free; not compiled in by default. Use --enable-xrandr if you want to test it).</p>

<h2> Bug fixes</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p> Window Maker 0.92.0 was already very stable, but many bugs were fixed in this release. A <strong>very</strong>
|
|
incomplete list is given below, and as time permits it will be updated (including links to the commits)
|
|
in the future. But the message now
|
|
is that if you don't like bugs, use version 0.95.1.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/37829a7c60ca09eb47d4d82b00070f6f6c0fb277">Fix loading saved states on 64-bit systems</a></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Fix to avoid a segfault when creating more than 81 workspaces, as reported on youtube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkNJZvKwmhE">here</a>.</p>

<h2> Summary of changes </h2>
|
|
<p>A lot of effort was put into cleaning up the code, with lots of code removal and tidying things up. The following
|
|
output should give you an idea of the development in the last cycle:</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
[mafra@Pilar:wmaker.git]$ git diff --shortstat wmaker-0.92.0+..wmaker-0.95.1
|
|
592 files changed, 118361 insertions(+), 133342 deletions(-)
|
|
[mafra@Pilar:wmaker.git]$ git diff --shortstat 688a56e8ab67b..wmaker-0.95.1
|
|
566 files changed, 37676 insertions(+), 41817 deletions(-)
|
|
</pre>The first shortstat is really everything, including the (huge) patch generated in this <a href=
|
|
"http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/commit/688a56e8ab67b56550e2874d9d7423f0d435bfd9">commit</a> from 2009, which changed the old
|
|
sources to the linux kernel coding style. The second shortstat contains the summary of development afterwards -- but included
|
|
is the addition of a debian folder with files summing around ~20k lines. The full diffstat for the second command can be seen
|
|
<a href="fulldiffstat.php">here</a>.
