This release contains plenty of new features, bug-fixes, and general
improvements. Some of the most important highlights include:
* We did it again, the MATE desktop environment is easier to use than before,
once the user starts the session. Do you want to hide applications startup?
Now you can set which applications to show on startup.
* Engrampa now has support for a handful of extra formats, as well as fixed
support for passwords and unicode characters in some of them.
* Eye of MATE now has support for Wayland and we’ve added support for
embedded color profiles.
* The thumbnail generation has been reworked and fixed in several places.
* Added support for webp files.
* Our window manager, marco, has gotten quite a few changes:
* We’ve brought a bunch of window decorations from the past to feed
your nostalgia.
* Finally added invisible resize borders. No more struggling to find a
border to grab with your mouse!
* All window controls (you know, the min, max, close buttons) are now
rendered in HiDPI.
* The Alt+Tab and Workspace Switcher popups have been entirely reworked.
Now they render in beautiful OSD style, are more configurable, and can
respond to keyboard arrows.
* Tiling windows with the keyboard now allows you to cycle through
different window sizes. You no longer need to feel constrained by only
half of your screen.
* The System Monitor panel applet now has support for NVMe drives.
* Calculator now supports using either “pi” or “π”.
* Scientific notation has been improved.
* Some fixes for supporting pre-defined physical constants.
* The Control Center now displays its icons correctly on HiDPI displays.
* A brand new Time And Date Manager app has been added.
* The Mouse app now supports acceleration profiles.
* The Preferred Applications app has been improved for accessibility, as well
as better support for integration with IM clients.
* The Indicator Applet has slightly better interaction with
oddly-sized icons.
* Speaking of icons, the network manager applet icons in our own themes have
been entirely redesigned and can now be enjoyed on HiDPI displays.
* If you’re the type of person that does not like to be disturbed when busy,
or giving a presentation, or watching a movie, you’ll be happy to know that
the notification daemon now supports a Do-Not-Disturb mode.
* The MATE Panel had several bugs that caused crashes in the past when
changing layouts. Those are now fixed!
* Support for Wayland compatibility has improved considerably.
* Status icons (a.k.a. notification area, or system tray) have support
for HiDPI displays.
* Wanda the Fish got a make-over and now you can enjoy her in full
HiDPI glory.
* The window list applet now supports window thumbnails on hover.
* Various accessibility improvements throughout the panel and its
core applets.
* If your system doesn’t, uh, support systemd you might be interested in
knowing that we’ve added support for elogind to both the MATE Screensaver
and the MATE Session.
* We’ve also added a brand new MATE Disk Image Mounter utility.
* Mozo, the menu editor, now supports Undo and Redo actions.
* Pluma plugins have now fully switched to Python 3.
* Pluma no longer has to envy anything from other complex editors, since it
can now show the formatting marks.
* i18n: All applications have been migrated from intltools to gettext.

The compositor was throwing an unsupported transformation type error when
qt5 tried to set a transformation type of "normal" on surfaces, even though
this is asking for the default behaviour.
Bump PKGREVISION
The wm/fluxconf package has been dead upstream for over a decade, fails
to build with default pkgsrc settings in most environments (it has of
course continually bit-rotted), and is also actively harmful for users
in some contexts. It doesn't support the current config format that
Fluxbox 1.3 uses, so it will actually corrupt config files.
As discussed on pkgsrc-users:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2020/01/14/msg030221.html
pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"
As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.
Enlightened Sound Daemon was one of the earlier solutions to the old
"multiple programs can't open /dev/audio at once" problem that was once
a thing we had to worry about.
Eventually, it was adopted as part of GNOME. GNOME lost interest in it
about a decade ago and dropped it in favour of PulseAudio, newer
applications are generally uninterested in supporting it. Last release
was in 2008 and support for newer OS APIs is pretty nonexistent.
Several years ago the original website disappeared.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightened_Sound_Daemonhttps://tracker.debian.org/news/999428/removed-0241-11-from-unstable/
pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F
With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.
This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.
# From 0.9.8 to 0.9.9
- Fix a memory allocation bug in the implementation of `wm --restart`.
- Honor `single_monocle` when the `hidden` flag is toggled.
# From 0.9.7 to 0.9.8
- Fix a potential infinite loop.
- Fix two bugs having to do with `single_monocle`.
- Honor `removal_adjustment` for the spiral automatic insertion scheme.
# From 0.9.6 to 0.9.7
This release fixes a bug in the behavior of `single_monocle`.
# From 0.9.4 to 0.9.6
## Additions
- New *wm* command: `--restart`. It was already possible to restart `bspwm` without loosing the current state through `--{dump,load}-state`, but this command will also keep the existing subscribers intact.
- New settings: `automatic_scheme`, `removal_adjustment`. The automatic insertion mode now provides three ways of inserting a new node: `spiral`, `longest_side` (the default) and `alternate`. Those schemes are described in the README.
- New settings: `ignore_ewmh_struts`, `presel_feedback`, `{top,right,bottom,left}_monocle_padding`.
- New node descriptor: `smallest`.
- New desktop modifier: `active`.
## Changes
- The `focused` and `active` modifiers now mean the same thing across every object.
- Fullscreen windows are no longer sent to the `above` layer. Within the same layer, fullscreen windows are now above floating windows. If you want a floating window to be above a fullscreen window, you'll need to rely on layers.
- Pseudo-tiled windows now shrink automatically.
## Removals
- The `paddingless_monocle` setting was removed (and subsumed). The effect of `paddingless_monocle` can now be achieved with:
```shell
for side in top right bottom left; do
bspc config ${side}_monocle_padding -$(bspc config ${side}_padding)
done
```
# From 0.9.3 to 0.9.4
## Changes
- The following events: `node_{manage,unmanage}` are now `node_{add,remove}`.
## Additions
- New monitor/desktop/node descriptors: `any`, `newest`.
- New node flag: `marked`.
- New monitor descriptor: `pointed`.
- New *wm* command: `--reorder-monitors`.
- Receptacles are now described in the manual.
- New `--follow` option added to `node -{m,d,n,s}` and `desktop -{m,s}`.
- The *subscribe* command now has the following options: `--fifo`, `--count`.
- New settings: `ignore_ewmh_fullscreen`, `mapping_events_count`.
# From 0.9.2 to 0.9.3
## Changes
- *click_to_focus* is now a button name. Specifying a boolean is deprecated but will still work (`true` is equivalent to `button1`).
## Additions
- `node -r` now accepts a relative fraction argument.
- An option was added to `query -{M,D,N}` in order to output names instead of IDs: `--names`.
- New rule consequence: `rectangle=WxH+X+Y`.
- New settings: `swallow_first_click` and `directional_focus_tightness`.
Changes:
- Restore keycode translation on exit on NetBSD to avoid input problems
when returning to a tty. Temporary hack until we can do this all
with wscons (hopefully?)
- Merged in some cleanups and fixes from upstream.
* Reimplement sendMessage to deal properly with windowset changes made
during handling.
* Add new library functions windowBracket and modifyWindowSet to
XMonad.Operations.
Changelog:
2020-01-04: Sixth public release 6.6 of portable cwm.
Changes made between OpenBSD 6.4 and 6.5
* Added a configtest flag (-n) to cwm(1).
* Introduced 'group-close-[n]' action to cwm(1) to close all windows
within a specified group.
0.14 (July 30, 2018)
Bug Fixes
* The state file that xmonad uses while restarting itself is now
removed after it is processed. This fixes a bug that manifested in
several different ways:
* Names of old workspaces would be resurrected after a restart
* Screen sizes would be wrong after changing monitor configuration
(#90)
* spawnOnce stopped working (xmonad/xmonad-contrib#155)
* Focus did not follow when moving between workspaces (#87)
* etc.
* Recover old behavior (in 0.12) when focusFollowsMouse == True: the
focus follows when the mouse enters another workspace but not moving
into any window.
* Compiles with GHC 8.4.1
* Restored compatability with GHC version prior to 8.0.1 by removing
the dependency on directory version 1.2.3.
0.13 (February 10, 2017)
Breaking Changes
* When restarting xmonad, resume state is no longer passed to the next
process via the command line. Instead, a temporary state file is
created and xmonad's state is serialized to that file.
* When upgrading to 0.13 from a previous version, the --resume command
line option will automatically migrate to a state file.
* This fixes issue #12.
Enhancements
* You can now control which directory xmonad uses for finding your
configuration file and which one is used for storing the compiled
version of your configuration. In order of preference:
* New environment variables. If you want to use these ensure you set
the correct environment variable and also create the directory it
references:
* XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR
* XMONAD_CACHE_DIR
* XMONAD_DATA_DIR
* The ~/.xmonad directory.
* XDG Base Directory Specification directories, if they exist:
* XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xmonad
* XDG_CACHE_HOME/xmonad
* XDG_DATA_HOME/xmonad
* If none of these directories exist then one will be created using
the following logic: If the relevant environment variable mentioned
in step (1) above is set, the referent directory will be created and
used. Otherwise ~/.xmonad will be created and used.
* This fixes a few issues, notably #7 and #56.
* A custom build script can be used when xmonad is given the
--recompile command line option. If an executable named build exists
in the xmonad configuration directory it will be called instead of
ghc. It takes one argument, the name of the executable binary it
must produce.
* This fixes#8. (One of two possible custom build solutions. See the
next entry for another solution.)
* For users who build their xmonad configuration using tools such as
cabal or stack, there is another option for executing xmonad.
* Instead of running the xmonad executable directly, arrange to have
your login manager run your configuration binary instead. Then, in
your binary, use the new launch command instead of xmonad.
* This will keep xmonad from using its configuration file
checking/compiling code and directly start the window manager
without execing any other binary.
* See the documentation for the launch function in XMonad.Main for
more details.
* Fixes#8. (Second way to have a custom build environment for
XMonad. See previous entry for another solution.)
Based on work by voidpin and benny in wip, with fixes.
herbstluftwm is a manual tiling window manager for X11 using Xlib and Glib.
Its main features can be described with:
- The layout is based on splitting frames into subframes which can be
split again or can be filled with windows (similar to i3 or musca)
- Tags (or workspaces, or virtual desktops) can be added/removed at
runtime. Each tag contains an own layout
- Exactly one tag is viewed on each monitor. The tags are monitor
independent (similar to xmonad)
- It is configured at runtime via IPC calls from herbstclient. So the
configuration file is just a script which is run on startup. (Similar
to wmii or musca)
Change log:
mate-netbook 1.22.2
tx: sync with transifex
Use the same variable name for return value than elsewhere
Remove cppcheck warnings with better variables scope
Remove unused variable declaration in applet.c and task-list.c
Add an option to disable the bold face of the window title in applet
Make the 'show-home-title' feature work again

Cleanup whitespaces
packaged by pin <voidpin@protonmail.com> in pkgsrc-wip
Changelog:
spectrwm 3.3.0
==============
Released on Dec 19, 2019
* Add new bar text markup sequences for multiple colors/fonts/sections.
* Add new `bar_font_pua` option to assign a font (such as an icon font)
to the Unicode Private Use Area (U+E000 -> U+F8FF).
* Extend `disable_border` option with `always`.
* Add support for XDG Base Directory Specification.
* Add OpenBSD pledge(2) support.
* Enable xinput2 on OpenBSD.
* Enable travis.
* Fix keysym binding issue with multiple keyboard layouts.
* Fix buffer overflow in `bar_strlcat_esc`.
* Fix infinite loop due to unsigned integer overflow.
* Fix cygwin compile issues.
* Fix NetBSD Makefile.
* Bunch of statical analyzer fixes.
* Bunch of minor fixes.
This looks unusual and is incomplete because there were two distinct
enlightenment packages in different parts of the tree. This package
went from 0.16.x to 1.0.x release numbering, while x11/enlightenment
reflects development that continues to use 0.x release numbering.
This package isn't intended to conflict with or supersede
x11/enlightenment.
Better separate and distinguish between the E16 branch of
Enlightenment (which continues to be developed) and newer branches
that are packaged as x11/enlightenment. (As discussed on pkgsrc-users
earlier this month.)
Change log:
### marco 1.22.4
* update translations
* Revert "compositor: fix possible crash closing/destroying window"
* theme.c: Fix window control hidpi rendering for all themes.
* theme: Render window control buttons and icons as surfaces
### marco 1.22.3
* update translations
* frames: bump priority of style providers
* window: add _GTK_THEME_VARIANT to initial window properties
* frames: apply modified hack from Mutter/Metacity
* frames: avoid infinite loop on the variants GList
* frames: use style_updated instead of style_set
* Fixed moving windows to edges to work with CSD clients.
* window: Update allowed action hints
* build: Remove rationales.txt from EXTRA_DIST target
* Fix use of RBGA visual in frame.c when compositing is not in use
* drop old and obsolete rationales.txt
* boxes: Actually check for rectangle containment
swc is a small Wayland compositor implemented as a library.
It has been designed primary with tiling window managers in mind.
This is a friendly fork of swc that adds NetBSD support.
- Move sound server to an options group, allowing sound to be disabled.
- Enable pango by default since it's a default upstream.
Bit uneasy about esound using libaudiofile given it's kind of dead and
full of bugs but the alternative might be worse.
Bump PKGREVISION
wm/enlightenment now installs under "e16" directories, not
"enlightenment", including its default theme. Change this package to
match the expected location, and, while here, fix permissions on the
installed files. (The theme format used by Enlightenment >= 17 is
incompatible with that used by E16, so these themes are only relevant
to E16.)
(TBD: these themes are rather old; there are newer supplementary E16
themes provided upstream that should be added, but I'm leaving that for
a separate pass.)
pkgsrc-specific changes:
- add options for pango, a choice of audio back-end, and font
inclusion (which may not be necessary, depending on the target OS)
- enable more modern X11 features
- note correct license
Addresses PR pkg/52952 by Vicente Chaves.
(Quoting the upstream change log would be excessive here, as there's
been twelve years of development since this package was last updated in
pkgsrc. Those interested should simply look at the package's ChangeLog
file.)
(TBD: this package should probably be renamed to "enlightenment16", to
avoid confusion and conflict with x11/enlightenment. These two packages
should be able to co-exist, if desired. This version continues to be
relevant as it's more lightweight and has fewer dependencies.)
Changes since 1.4.8
* Incompatible changes
** command `compat' and the various def* compat commands were removed
** `msgwait', `rudeness', `startupmessage', `warp' are now variables
The msgwait, rudeness, startup_message and warp commands will stay
around for a few releases. Upgrade your config file now!
* Feature/misc changes
** XRandR support
ratpoison now uses XRandR to detect screens additions/removals at
runtime. The Xinerama support has been removed.
** the focus* commands can be used to navigate across screens
** window completion match by substring, case-insensitive
** new variable `framemsgwait'
Timeout (in seconds) for the `Current frame' message window.
If set to -1, no message is shown.
** better `select' error handling
** the command `set' with no argument dumps a list of all variables/values
** unknown commands are now logged as warnings to stdout too
Should help debugging a config file.
** various cleanups and minor bugfixes
* Packaging changes
** ratpoison now depends on libXrandr instead of libXinerama
** ratpoison doesn't link against libhistory by default any more
Use ./configure --enable-history to force the use of said library.
** no ChangeLog file
Please use the git repository instead. Savannah offers a web interface.
** no more timestamps in compiled code
Should help reproducible builds.
ChangeLog:
- add configurable frame height
- fix merge/split with new frame-height
- add configurable frame-border
- fixes for border + splits
- change client swap semantics to move
- Allow execution of commands via C-e
- allow binding of keysyms to commands
- add frame-set-directory

pkgsrc-specific changes: we are now using upstream's formal release
archive, which means a configure script is provided, so we aren't
pulling in a bunch of tool dependencies just to generate such.

- New expansion variable "w.screen" to ascertain the Xineram
screen number a window is on.
- New command "InfoStoreClear" to remove all items in the
InfoStore.
* Removed features:
- The old and unmaintained debian/and rpm/ directories have
been remmoved; use the maintainers' copies where available.
- VMS support has been removed.

small square.
- New option "!raise" to the WarpToWindow command.
- The new extended variables $[wa.x], $[wa.y], $[wa.width],
$[wa.height] can be used to get the geometry of the EWMH
working area, and $[dwa.x], $[dwa.y], $[dwa.width],
$[dwa.height] can be used to get the geometry of the EWMH
dynamic working area.
- The Resize commands accept "wa" or "da" as a suffix of the
width or height value. If present, the value is a percentage
of the width or height of the EWMH working area or the EWMH
dynamic working area.
- Fvwm is much more resilient against applications that flood the
window manager with repeated events.
* New module features:
- FvwmForm supports separator lines.
- New FvwmIconMan options:
IconAndSelectButton
IconAndSelectColorset
* Bug fixes:
- Provide a wrapper for the deprecation of XKeycodeToKeysym and
use XkbKeycodeToKeysym() where appropriate.
- fvwm-menu-desktop is re-written and provides better support of
the XDG menu specification.
- Fix fvwm-menu-desktop keyError bug. Use "others" if no desktop
environment found.
- FvwmIconMan had problems displaying the hilight colour on some
systems (64 bit issue?).
- Globally active windows cannot take the focus if the style
forbids programs to take focus themselves (style
!FPFocusByProgram).
- Windows no longer jump from one position to the other which
could happen in some cases with SnapAttraction. Windows now
snap to the closest window (or screen edge).
- Removing bindings had several strange side effects that are
fixed now (removing too many bindings; old bindings showing up
again after another is removed; possibly other effects).
- Windows sometimes did not get expose events (i.e. did not
redraw properly) if they were uncovered by moving a window
above them. This has been fixed.
- FvwmConsole now causes much less network traffic.
- Suppress bogus events sent to the modules when a window is
resized with the mouse.
- Properly handle the has_ref_window_moved flag for ResizeMove and
ResizeMoveMaximize.
- Removed some unnecessary redraws in FvwmPager.
- The option "NoDeskLimitY" option of the GotoPage command did
not work.
- Negative coordinates in the "rectangle" option to the Menu
commend did not work correctly. This has been fixed.
- Removes a slight graphics problem whith the ResizeMaximize
command being invoked from a window button menu.
- When an attempt to reparent a client window (i.e. decorate
it) fails, fvwm no longer throws away all events but only the
events for that window.
- The ChangeButton command of FvwmButtons used to strip
whitespace from the beginning and end of button titles and
image paths. This is no longer done.
Coma is a minimalistic X11 Window Manager.
It has 2 framing modes: default, large. Only one can be active at a given
time and is specified at startup time:
- Default means it will split up your screen into columns just large enough
to fit 80 column xterms.
- Large means it will calculate the frames based on 161 column xterms (so
one can use tmux and split it to get 80 columns in each pane).
