shell/xterm or from the main menu, if there is a docked appicon of that
class that is not running at the time the app is launched.
- Added animation to show that the appicon was stolen by the dock (the way
NEXTSTEP did - map an appicon as it normally would have been, then slide it
to the position the docked appicon is).
- Updated the animation constants for scrolling/sliding/shading to better
adapt to newer/faster machines. Also used wusleep(10) when the delay was 0
to get rid of the jerky animation when there was no delay.
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).

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.

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).

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.
