The WINGs-function wtokensplit does not set argv to NULL if no string has been
split - instead argc is set to 0.
You can only observe this issue if you compile Window Maker without any
optimization:
compile Window Maker with CFLAGS=""
run Window Maker and save a session
change session-file and replace a 'command xyz' line with 'command " "'
restart Window Maker
watch "Fatal error"-message

- Fixed the signal handler for crashes (ie, removed it) and made wmaker
restarting be made automatically by a monitoring process.
- Made NetWM support be enabled by default
- Removed old code to store/restore workspace state (now relies on netwm)
- 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
- Made maximizing behaves differently with keyboard/mouse for xinerama
(Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- A few leftover xinerama fixes (Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Extended the 'strut' to multiple heads
(Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Icon placement now takes into account the new xinerama extended 'strut'
(Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Icon arrangement that takes the new extended xinerama 'strut' into account
(Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- fixed the workspace name display problem.
- replaced most of scr->xxx_pixel with scr->xxx_color
- removed some obsoleted GC's in the WScreen structure
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).
- 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
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.
- 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).
- 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.
be sure to replace wstrappend() with wstrconcat() anywhere in your code
because a new wstrappend() function will be implemented that will have
different semantics and if your code will use the new one instead of
the old will break.
