Version 2.24 9.Jul.2006
* Xwrits hand windows appear on all desktops, even after the first break.
The freedesktop.org standard requires you tell the window manager about
the all-desktops property *every time* the window reappears. Thanks to
Zach Beane for a patch that inspired this search. Previously reported by
Stephen A. Lawrence and Andy Feery.
* Support MWM hints on 64-bit platforms. Bug report and initial patches
from Jeff Layton.
* Avoid infinite error recursion when windows are closed on +multiscreen.
Bug reported in April 2004 by Chris Jones.
Version 2.23 21.Jun.2006
* Support '+once[=COUNT]' option. Patch by Anne Elizabeth Dudfield the
Rad.
Version 2.22 2.Apr.2005
* Support `+finger=GIFFILE'. Requested by Urko Lusa. This change was made
in August 2002, but for some reason never released.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
Changes since 2.19:
-------------------
Version 2.21 6.May.2002
* Add support for Xinerama. Requested by Orion Hodson <hodson@icir.org>.
Version 2.20 17.Apr.2002
* Add `title' option. Suggested, and patch provided, by Dale Thatcher
<xwrits@dalethatcher.com>.
* Finally fix `--multiscreen' option. Thanks to Orion Hodson
<hodson@icir.org> for lending his multihead machine.
changes since the last packaged version are:
--------------------------------------------
Version 2.19 8.Feb.2002
* The escalation "clock" corresponding to `after=TIME' options proceeds
even after you cancel a break by deleting all the xwrits windows.
Therefore, you can no longer prevent escalation by deleting xwrits
windows with your window manager.
* Locking code works with large `lock-picture's. Reported by Carlos
O'Donell Jr. <carlos@baldric.uwo.ca>.
* Add `bars-picture' option. If you specify your own `lock-picture', then
`bars-picture' defaults to a black screen. Say `bars-picture="&bars"' to
get the old behavior.
* Add `+verbose' option for debugging.
* Xwrits checks whether other clients pay attention to KeyRelease events,
as well as KeyPress events. This may improve its interaction with certain
window managers. For example, xwrits seemed to come up less frequently
than it should when I was using KDE.
* `--multiscreen' still doesn't seem to work, but I don't know why.
Version 2.18 21.Dec.2001
* Fix `--multiscreen' option. Reported by Jamie Zawinski <jwz@jwz.org>.
Version 2.17 18.Dec.2001
* Add `--multiscreen' option. Requested by Jamie Zawinski <jwz@jwz.org>.
Version 2.16 23.Aug.2001
* Choose font more carefully, to avoid null pointer dereferences. Problem
reported by Sharif Nassar <sharif@mrwacky.com>.
Version 2.15 18.Apr.2001
* Xwrits processes play nicely with one another. For example, two xwrits
processes with `+top' no longer fight each other to get to the top of the
window stack; and xwrits processes inform one another when you click on a
window to take a break. Requested by Thomer M. Gil
<thomergil@hotmail.com>, who runs two xwrits processes at once: one for
microbreaks, one for longer breaks.
Version 2.14 15.Feb.2001
* Fixed new crash when `+lock' and `+breakclock' were both supplied.
Reported by Chris Keane <chris@chris-keane.co.uk>.
* Fixed time-adjusting code when the system clock jumps backwards: Do not
use the remaining-timeout value to calculate how much the system clock
has changed. The symptom was that xwrits windows would stop animating if
the system clock jumped backwards (even by a little bit).
Version 2.13 11.Feb.2001
* Documented multiple `breaktime' specifications. This lets you, for
example, make a break longer depending on how long you waited to take it.
See the ESCALATION section of the manual page. These were added in an
earlier version, but never documented.
* The escalation "clock" corresponding to `after=TIME' options proceeds
even while xwrits thinks you're resting. Therefore, you can no longer
prevent escalation by clicking on the xwrits window (making it think
you're resting) and then typing some more. Requested by Conrad Hughes
<conrad@eireann.org>.
* Bug fix: The `breakclock' always counts down from the end of the break.
Previously, it counted back from a random time when `+mouse' was true.
Reported by Tijn Porcelijn <taine@3niat.myweb.nl>.
* Hopefully fixed bugs that were causing xwrits to crash on Chris Keane
<chris@chris-keane.co.uk>.
* Bug fix: Erasing messages on the lock screen didn't completely work if
the hand picture was in the way. This resulted in unreadable displays.
Fixed.
* Hopefully fixed bugs that caused animation to stop sometimes.
* The lock screen now shows how many characters of your unlock password
you've typed.
crashing bugs and some checks for bad input arguments. In addition new gestures
are added and the ability to monitor more than one display. For a complete list
(somewhat lengthy) of changes since 2.7.3, see either xwrits-2.11/NEWS or
http://www.lcdf.org/~eddietwo/xwrits/changes.html
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
