From Bug Hunting in PR pkg/45737
Changes in the 6.0:
- several Xinerama fixes;
- a new approach to hide clients into negative space rather than positive;
- the return of the nmaster functionality (Mod1-i, Mod1-d);
- better EWHM support for floating windows;
- fixed sloppy focussing of empty screens;
- a new default color scheme (actually a new old one, now bluedark rather than
bluegray).
The session.o object contains the IceProcessMessages symbol which wasn't
previously directly linked with libICE. This is another imake-based
package so libICE is now directly linked by all platforms.
Bugs fixed
- Vita Cizek fixed a bug that caused pekwm to crash on startup when another
windowmanager was already running.
- #252 "Resize code should consume last ButtonRelease event" reported and fixed
by wallex
- #259 "Window ghosting with xcompmgr shaded windows" reported by
kevin.clevenger and fixed by Claes Nästén and Andreas Schlic
- #297 "MRU window selection does not honour 'Skip=FocusToggle'" reported and
fixed by wallex
- #298 "MRU list should be refreshed on workspace change" reported and fixed by
wallex
User visible changes
- #290 "Allow autoproperties to set the decor" fixed by Andreas Schlick
- #268 "allow maximizing of client windows" reported by marin and fixed by
Andreas Schlick
#118 "Set decor name based on hints: _NET_WM_DEMANDS_ATTENTION and
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE"
Compatibility fixes Configuration changes
New autoproperty "Decor". You can use this autoproperty to give windows a
specific decor.
Theme changes
Themes can specify a special decor "ATTENTION" that is used for clients
that set the urgency/demands-attention hint.
* Stop to treat NetBSD's sed as GNU sed, not full compatible.
* Then, no need to reset TOOLS_PLATFORM.gsed for NetBSD if USE_TOOLS+=gsed and
real GNU sed is required.
* In addition, convert simple USE_TOOLS+=gsed to conditionally, without NetBSD.
* convert {BUILD_,}DEPENDS+=gsed to USE_TOOLS, all tools from gsed are real gsed.
Notion is a tiling, tabbed window manager for the X window system:
Tiling: you divide the screen into non-overlapping 'tiles'.
Every window occupies one tile, and is maximized to it
Tabbing: a tile may contain multiple windows - they will be
'tabbed'
Static: most tiled window managers are 'dynamic', meaning they
automatically resize and move around tiles as windows appear
and disappear. Notion, by contrast, does not automatically
change the tiling. You're in control.
just a man page and asciidoc is fairly harmless, and it's not entirely
clear how to disable the test, run with it: add a build depend on
asciidoc, plus USE_TOOLS+=gzip, and update the plist. PKGREVISION -> 2.
* Respect maximise states while resizing
* Add basic .desktop file
* Add configuration file
$HOME/.evilwmrc - options are one per line, omitting leading dash.
* Add long alternatives to -g, -v and -s
-geometry, -vdesk and -sticky.
* Record pre-maximisation dimensions in evilwm-specific window properties
_EVILWM_UNMAXIMISED_HORZ and _EVILWM_UNMAXIMISED_VERT.
* Extensive EWMH support. See doc/standards.html for details.
* Mostly new Makefile
* Clean up terminology: use "fixed" instead of "sticky": EWMH uses
the term "sticky" to mean something different.
* Add ability to toggle visible state of docks with Ctrl+Alt+D
Usually apps like pagers or launch bars.
* Add -dock option to force app to be considered a dock
* Snap-to-border and colourmap support no longer optional
Though -snap still defaults to 0 (off).
* fix: drawing window outline with border_width > 1 [David Flynn]
(bottom and right edges wouldn't encompass the border)
* build: enable out-of-tree builds [David Flynn]
* build: enable ISO c99 [David Flynn]
* Fix snapping on multiple screens [Ben Stern]
* Window gravity behviour fixes.
* Remove warning about strict-aliasing rules [Larry Doolittle]
which is provided by the "imlib-gtk" package. As nobody seems to be
missing support for that library there is probably no point in adding
this dependency.
