The handling of user defined shortcuts was not checking the length
of the shortcut before copying it to a fixed-length temporary buffer,
char buf[128];
strcpy(buf, shortcutDefinition);
and strcpy() is well known for not checking if overflows will occur.
In particular, wmaker was crashing here if a big 'shortcut' was defined
either through WPrefs or by directly editing the configuration files.
This is now avoided by using strncpy() instead.
And this patch also fixes a similar buffer overflow for big workspace
names too.
Furthermore, use MAX_SHORTCUT_LENGTH instead of raw number and define
it to be 32 instead of 128.
There may be issues with running applications in 64-bit mode when
they were written with tacit assumptions about 32-bit platforms.
For example,
* Assuming that a pointer can be cast back and forth to an integer
The reason is that the size of the integer and pointer may be different.
See the description of "[PATCH] Warn when casting a pointer (constant)
to an integer of different size." in the gcc mailing list
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-12/msg01881.html
where it was also suggested the use of casts to uintptr_t. This is
what this patch does.
As a result the following warnings are fixed, leaving us with an
almost warning-free compilation in 64-bit platforms:

This patch removes wmaker from PowerTop's shame list, where
it appeared with ~3-4 wakeups/second.
It adds the linux kernel's dnotify mechanism (adapted from
the example in Documentation/dnotify.txt in the kernel source),
to detect when a configuration file in ~/GNUStep/Defaults has
changed to load it again on-the-fly. For me it usually means that
modifications to ~/GNUStep/Defaults/WMRootMenu via the 'genmenu'
script are automatically detected and loaded.
The use of dnotify makes the ancient behaviour of polling unecessary
and cuts down the wakeups count.
Other 'apparently' useless timers are also deleted and it's been almost
one year now that I use this patched exclusively without problems, so
I am pretty sure that it doesn't hurt to remove them.
The end result of all this is that wmaker generates 0 (zero) wakeups
when idle in a Linux system.

- Fixed WPrefs path in the installed WMState (changed after recent WPrefs
installation path changes)
- Fixed wmaker.inst (apparently some very noisy individual was unable to get
right his 10 line patch to rename a path)
the old .AppInfo/... to the new Library/WindowMaker/... on the fly when
Window Maker starts.
This should allow a transparent transition without any need for users to do
anything.
- 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
- 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
- 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
the global domain as well and are exactly the same. This fixes a bug where
settings from the global domain file were merged in the user domain file
and further changes in the global domain file for those merged values was
ignored making a system admin unable to set global defaults for all users
using the global domains.
- Fixed bug with not extracting the icon from the client when using
shared appicons.
- Added WMSubtractPLDictionaries() to WINGs (opposite for merging, it will
remove all entries from dest if they are present in source and are exactly
the same. Unique entries in dest and entries with different values from
those present in source will be preserved).
- 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).
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.
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.
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.
