- Fixed the signal handler for crashes (ie, removed it) and made wmaker
restarting be made automatically by a monitoring process.
- Made NetWM support be enabled by default
- Removed old code to store/restore workspace state (now relies on netwm)
- Fixed bug in icon chooser dialog that could cause a segmentation fault
in some cases (Pascal Hofstee <caelian@gmail.com>)
- Fixed crash in asm code in wrlib, with new versions of gcc.
- Fixed bug in the x86_PseudoColor_32_to_8() function which incorrectly
used the r, g, b fields in the conversion.
- Fixed x86 ASM code in wrlib to work on 64 bit architectures.
- Fixed the focus flicker seen with some apps (notably gtk2)
(Alexey Spiridonov <snarkmaster@gmail.com>)
- Fixed all crashing bugs that were generated by wmaker starting with the
WMState file missing.
- Added NetWM support (a modified version of the patch originaly written
by Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Applied patch to enhance the Virtual Desktop behaviour, and to integrate
it with the NetWM code (Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Applied a few xinerama and placement fixes (Peter Zijlstra
<a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Fixed memory leak in dock code.
- Fixed and enhanced the text wrapping in WINGs.
- Fixed the layout of some elements in WPrefs.app
- Added workaround for aplications that don't set the required hints on the
client leader window, but they set them on normal windows (observer with
KDE 3.3.0 mainly). This will allow these apps to get an appicon again.
(they should be fixed still)
- Added workaround for applications that do not set a command with
XSetCommand(), but instead they set the _NET_WM_PID property. This works
with operating systems that offer a /proc interface similar to what linux
has. (This also is to fix problems with KDE 3.3.0 apps, but not only them).
- Fixed bug with autostart and exit scripts not being executed if user
GNUstep path was different from ~/GNUstep (when setting GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT)
- Added utf8 support in WINGs (removed old X core font code)
- Added utility to convert old font names to new font names in style files
maximizing to support succesive maximizations in different directions
without the need to do an intermediary un-maximize step (eliminates flicker)
- Made keyboard/mouse maximization behavior consinstent relative to each other
- Made maximizing behaves differently with keyboard/mouse for xinerama
(Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- A few leftover xinerama fixes (Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Extended the 'strut' to multiple heads
(Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Icon placement now takes into account the new xinerama extended 'strut'
(Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Icon arrangement that takes the new extended xinerama 'strut' into account
(Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- fixed the workspace name display problem.
- replaced most of scr->xxx_pixel with scr->xxx_color
- removed some obsoleted GC's in the WScreen structure
WMDrawString() and WMDrawImageString() now take WMColor instead of GC as
arguments. WMDrawImageString() receives 2 colors (text & background).
This is to allow easy extension for Xft/Xrender and hide X low level details
- Added alpha channel to WMColor. 2 new functions also:
WMCreateRGBAColor() and WMSetColorAlpha()
- Miscelaneous code cleanups in wtext.c
- Removed obsoleted acconfig.h and implemented its functionality using
AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED as autoconf 2.5x recommends.
This will definitely enforce the need to use autoconf 2.5x
- 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
is created after the application has mapped its window(s).
This means that if you use wterm without an appmenu it will be able to
use shared appicons, but as soon as you start one with an appmenu they
will get separated appicons.
the global domain as well and are exactly the same. This fixes a bug where
settings from the global domain file were merged in the user domain file
and further changes in the global domain file for those merged values was
ignored making a system admin unable to set global defaults for all users
using the global domains.
- Fixed bug with not extracting the icon from the client when using
shared appicons.
- Added WMSubtractPLDictionaries() to WINGs (opposite for merging, it will
remove all entries from dest if they are present in source and are exactly
the same. Unique entries in dest and entries with different values from
those present in source will be preserved).
will unhide the application.
- removed a wsyserror() message when reading a property list from file
(the programmer should decide if to give that message or just ignore).
internal code clean-up with notifications for window state change and other
stuff, also cleaned kde and gnome support in preparation for wm-spec support..
---------------
- Added retain/release mechanism to RImage by adding RRetainImage() and
RReleaseImage(). RDestroyImage() is an alias to RReleaseImage() now, but
will be removed in a future release because it no longer fits with the
semantics. Will be kept for a while to allow a smoother transition.

For WINGs:
----------
- Small API change:
1. Renamed WMSetApplicationIconImage(), WMGetApplicationIconImage() and
WMSetWindowMiniwindowImage() to respectively WMSetApplicationIconPixmap(),
WMGetApplicationIconPixmap() and WMSetWindowMiniwindowPixmap()
They operate on a WMPixmap which is practically an X Pixmap with no alpha
channel information and the new name is more suggestive and also leaves
room for the new functions added for operating on images with alpha info.
2. Added WMSetApplicationIconImage() and WMGetApplicationIconImage() which
operate on an RImage and store alpha information too.
3. Added WMGetApplicationIconBlendedPixmap() which will take the image with
alpha set by WMSetApplicationIconImage() and will blend it with a color.
If color is NULL it will blend using the default panel color (#aeaaae)
All these changes will allow WINGs to handle images with alpha blending
correctly in panels and wherever else needed. More about in WINGs/NEWS.
- updated panels to use the newly available RImages if present and fallback
to old WMPixmaps if not, to properly show alpha blended images.
- replaced some still left malloc's with wmalloc's.
For Window Maker:
-----------------
- Fixed wrong mapping position of the "Docked Applications Panel" for some
icons.
- Smoother animation for the smiley =)
- Made images with alpha blending be shown correctly in the panels and the
icon chooser.
- The icon image set to be shown in panels ("Logo.WMPanel") will be
automatically updated if its entry in WMWindowAttributes changes (without
a need to restart as until now).
*** Note!!! ***
If you are developing applications with one of libwraster or libWINGs
then you should look to wrlib/NEWS and WINGs/NEWS to see what changed
and how should you update your code.
- Removed MIN() and MAX() macros and replaced them with WMIN() and WMAX() from
WINGs.
- Added a hint that Window Maker crashed, to allow windows to be placed
in their correct previous positions after a crash situation and also to
preserve their state before the crash (minimized, shaded, hidden, ...)
first element in the array that is matched by match(item, cdata)==True.
- added WMArrayFirst(), WMArrayLast(), WMArrayNext() and WMArrayPrevious()
functions and also WM_ITERATE_ARRAY() and WM_ETARETI_ARRAY() macros, to make
interfaces to WMBag and WMArray similar and to make life a little simpler
when iterating through all elements of an array.
- replaced bags with arrays wherever appropriate. This will improve
performance a bit.
- replaced some recursive code with iterative code in WINGs/selection.c
- some code cleanup is src/
