It was removed on 67a8a82670 with the assumption that
nothing was using it. But that was not really the case - FSViewer
used it.
I've just tested it. After a trivial fix regarding the change in
the function definition of WMWritePropListToFile(), FSViewer
compiles and even seems to work (didn't test much though).
So let's not be unfair with FSViewer and put wmlib back. FSViewer
might even be used for educational purposes for people wanting to
write apps using WINGs etc.
was this ever used for anything? i checked a couple hundred dockapps,
no joy; there's nothing in debian (afaict) that build-depends on it,
so let's try doing away with it.
- Separated the font caches for normal fonts and fontsets in WINGs (they can
have the same names and collide in the cache giving unwanted results)
- Updated the years in the copyright notices
- Also tested the backward compatibility ability of the WINGs proplist code
which seems to work quite well.
Starting with this moment, Window Maker no longer needs libPropList and is
now using the better and much more robust proplist code from WINGs. Also the
WINGs based proplist code is actively maintained while the old libPropList
code is practically dead and flawed by the fact that it borrowed concepts
from the UserDefaults which conflicted with the retain/release mechanism,
making some problems that libPropList had, practically unsolvable without a
complete redesign (which can be found in the more robust WINGs code).
