shouldn't release it. It is just a reference to the internal WMText color.
This should make all the functions returning colors from widgets behave
consistently
panel. (Temporary until the Font Settings panel in WPrefs is finished).
- Added a check that only %d is used in a font specification in WMGLOBAL and at
most once for each font in a fontset (eliminates a possible security exploit)
- Added README.antialiasing describing the steps needed to get antialiased
fonts working with WINGs/Window Maker.
- Added Sample.XftConfig
to replace WMNormalizeFont(), WMEmphasizeFont(), WMStrenghtenFont(),
WMUnemphasizeFont() and WMUnstrenghtenFont() which are now obsolete and
were removed.
marked not to be synchronized.
- WMGLOBAL options can now be set in the WindowMaker configuration files
to overwrite values in WMGLOBAL.
- You can now pass "SystemFont", "BoldSystemFont", "SystemFont-##" or
"BoldSystemFont-##", with ## being the font size to any font creating
function to create a font with the (bold) system font font specification.
- Replaced AA with Anitialiased in WINGs font creation function names
- Added WMCreateFontWithFlags(), WMHasAntialiasingSupport() and
WMIsAntialiasingEnabled()
- Created a separate font cacahe for antialiased fonts
- Added test at startup if Xft supports rendering antialiased fonts (in case
the application was compiled with Xft support, but is run on an X server
without support for xft rendering (RENDER extension missing). If no Xft
support antialiasing will be disabled even if it is enabled in the
configuration file.
- Finished the Info Panel to work with antialiased fonts.
- Code cleanup in dialog.c. Remade part of Info Panel drawing the Window Maker
logo.
- Fixed technical style drawing of window resizing.
are affected. Fixes for old code too.
- Double buffering in WMList. All widgets or apps using WMList and
having user drawing porcedures in place will inherit this double
buffering automatically too.
- New functions in WINGs: WMGetColorAlpha(), WMIsAAFont()
- Misc code cleanups in WINGs and src/dialog.c
flickering.
- Added double buffering when drawing WMList items to avoid flickering
- Shared xft drawable
- Renamed AASystemFont and AABoldSystemFont to AntialiasedSystemFont
respectively AntialiasedBoldSystemFont in WMGLOBAL
- WMCreateFont falls back to normal fonts if antialiased fonts cannot be
created (even if enabled)
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
- new callback in the ConnectionDelegate structure: canResumeSending
- replaced setpgid() with setsid() when starting kids, to allow them to
survive if wmaker (the parent) dies.
- a few cleanups.
- fixed a bug and memleak in WMBox code.
- updated some translations
- fixed some bug in the menu code about drawing disabled entries.
- fixed Clip menu not to allow selecting of "Autoraise" if "Keep On Top"
is active.
- Added a "Browse" button to the menu editor in WPrefs where a program to run
is specified (not finished).
- Fixed Legal Panel not to display rectangles in place of new lines.
- Removed some obsoleted/unused files from cvs
- Fixed a bug with Sloppy focus when changing workspaces (from a debian user
bug report/patch)
- 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
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).
- 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).
WMCreateApplicationIconBlendedPixmap() to avoid confusion.
This is because this function does generate a new WMPixmap from the
available icon image by combining it with the specified color and you
need to call WMReleasePixmap() on the generated pixmap after you're
done with it.
This is unlike the case of WMGetApplicationIconPixmap() where it just
returns a pointer to the existing application icon pixmap that was set
before and where you don't need to release it after you're done working
with it.
To avoid this confusion about when you need to release and when not,
one is using Get (get existing, no release needed), while the other is
now using Create (generate a new pixmap, release required) in their
name.
Since this change was made to a function that was just added to the API
in the previous commit, no modification is needed to the existing
applications that use WINGs.
---------------
- 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.
More about in wrlib/NEWS
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).

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/
correct switch to it, depending on the value of the DisableDithering option.
- Replaced some functions with macros in WINGs (wmkpoint(), wmksize() and
wmkrange()). They're less expensive to call this way.
- Fixed a memleak in the info panel.
