PowerPC architecture, because on LinuxPPC char is unsigned by default, not
signed like on the other platforms).
Bug fixed by Philip Derrin <philipd@student.unsw.edu.au>
- miscelaneous bug fixes
We would like people with cvs access experimenting the white 'speckles' on
images to test if they still have the problem.
~/GNUstep/.AppInfo/WindowMaker/ will be recreated if missing when the
application starts.
- fixed a small memleak when the client supplied icon was extracted and saved.
Check NEWS on how to fix your old broken XPM's saved to
~/GNUstep/.AppInfo/WindowMaker
WindowListMouseButton and ApplicationMenuMouseButton.
- Added 4 options to the configuration file for binding workspace actions to
mouse buttons: MouseLeftButtonAction, MouseMiddleButtonAction,
MouseRightButtonAction and MouseWheelAction. They replace the above 3
removed options, but use a different semantic.
- mouse wheel action is runtime configurable now.

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.

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/
easier to work with it this way.
- better naming of options in the clip options menu.
- better detection of whether to use EXEC or SHEXEC in WPrefs menu editor.
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.
