This patch removes bits and pieces of xmu that for some reason
have been bundled with wmaker. I can very well imagine that at the time
they were bundled, xmu was not, was not available everywhere, or
whatever.
I couldn't come across a system that doesn't have these things in its
system-supplied x libs, though i've been carrying this since january,
and my memory is quite flakey at times.
certainly nothing xorg is at danger, nor xfree86 dating back to at
least 3.3. i believe this stuff should be everywhere that calls itself
to be on par with x11r6.3 at the very least.
it would be incredibly useful if people having access to commercial
unixes could check this on things released in the past, say, 15 years.
i believe back then i had solaris 8+and sco openserver 5+ covered.
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

---------------
- 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).

If you are developing applications with one of libwraster or libWINGs

and how should you update your code.

on the system. Further compilation will be aborted if the version of
libPropList that is found is older than expected. Hopefully this will make
go away some annoying messages from people unable to read the release
notes.
- Implemented periodic synchronization of user defaults in WINGs and
notification when user defaults gets changed.
- Fixed the color panel to compile (someone in charge with it check if its
ok, I only changed where the compiler complained, didn't go through the
code).
- Misc fixes, related to latest changes in wrlib.
