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
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
- 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).
- 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
were managed by wmaker (Valery Kotchiev <aggregator@nospam.dk>)
- Fixed a problem that crashed wmaker when trying to read an unexisting
WMState.<number> file on multihead system.
- Fixed problem with keyboard shortcuts executed an every screen for
multihead systems.
- 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).
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.
Read details about this in NEWS.
---------------
- 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).
*** 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.
