Why?
1. The reason for its existence is to "Disable some stuff that are
duplicated in kde", and I don't think I will ever need that.
Furthermore, even the description in the configure script reads
"disable some stuff (dont use it)".
2. It makes the code uglier at some places, e.g.,
#ifdef LITE
{
#if 0
}
#endif
#else
if (!wRootMenuPerformShortcut(event)) {
#endif
which by the way is the ugliness which motivated this patch.
3. Does not even compile anymore. It fails with
CC dockedapp.o
CC event.o
event.c: In function 'executeButtonAction:
event.c:711: error: WScreen has no member named root_menu
event.c:712: error: WScreen has no member named root_menu
event.c:713: error: WScreen has no member named root_menu
event.c:715: error: WScreen has no member named root_menu
event.c:720: error: WScreen has no member named switch_menu
event.c:721: error: WScreen has no member named switch_menu
event.c:722: error: WScreen has no member named switch_menu
event.c:724: error: WScreen has no member named switch_menu
make[2]: *** [event.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
But instead of fixing this (it would be trivial), let's get
rid of the whole ugliness altogether.
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
[...]
instead of a mind-boggling flux of

than 10 parameters in inline asm, else disable asm code.
This should enable it to work on any x86 platform (not just linux as before)
given that a recent enough gcc is available (no more need to guess by looking
at $host)
This should also fix the issues of compiling wrlib with gcc-2.95
- 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
- Replaced --disable-xinerama with --enable-xinerama in configure
(xinerama needs to be enabled when Window Maker is build because
it's no longer enabled by default)
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).
