- Does away with the O_BINARY abomination
- as a byproduct, plugs an fd leak in wcolorpanel.c:fetchFile()
- sprinkle some fsync()s to files that have been written to (this
needs to be done everywhere)
+ fix brown paper bag thinko in configure.ac
I've found a buffer overflow problem in RSmoothScaleImage. There are
some scaling calculations involving floats which are finally converted
to integers. Since such conversion does not round the number, just
truncates the decimal part, sometimes the number is smaller than it
should be. As a result, smaller buffer is allocated for picture
scaling and thus buffer overflow occurs.
Strange thing is that this bug has not appeared earlier so it probably
has something to do with newer gcc or glibc (I switch from
"prehistoric" Fedora Core 5 to Fedora 12).
<What about the symptoms?>
There were several ones, probably depending on application version and
compilation flags. First, it just stopped responding. Looking at the
process with strace I saw it locked in some FUTEX wait (unfortunately
I don't have the logs). Second, it just crashed. And last I got
complaint from glibc about double free or corrupted heap before
malloc. I've found the bug through wmweather+ dockapp, versions 2.9
and 2.11 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wmweatherplus/), I've never
encountered it in WindowMaker itself.
This patch removes bits and pieces of xmu that for some reason
have been bundled with wmaker. I can very well imagine that at the time
they were bundled, xmu was not, was not available everywhere, or
whatever.
I couldn't come across a system that doesn't have these things in its
system-supplied x libs, though i've been carrying this since january,
and my memory is quite flakey at times.
certainly nothing xorg is at danger, nor xfree86 dating back to at
least 3.3. i believe this stuff should be everywhere that calls itself
to be on par with x11r6.3 at the very least.
it would be incredibly useful if people having access to commercial
unixes could check this on things released in the past, say, 15 years.
i believe back then i had solaris 8+and sco openserver 5+ covered.
This fixes a compilation failure with gcc-4.3.4, where it complains
nxpm.c: In function RGetImageFromXPMData:
nxpm.c:99: error: expected expression before ] token
...
for arq in `git ls-files *.c`; do
echo $arq;
indent -linux -l115 $arq;
done
The different line break at 115 columns is because
I use a widescreen monitor :-)
This patch adds the --disable-verbose-compile switch to the
configure script.
When this option is used it reduces the verbosity of compilation
messages to the essential. However compiler warnings are not affected
and thus gain visibility by not standing in the middle of a storm
of other messages.
In summary, the compilation messages are reduced to a stream of
CC array.o
CC bagtree.o
CC configuration.o
CC connection.o
CC data.o

- 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
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
