Awesome v4.3 is the third release of the 4.x API. It comes after one and
a half years of little fixes and improvements. Awesome v4.2 was very
stable thanks to everybody's effort to unit test everything. Given no
major bug warranted a new release, this one adds a few large features
while preserving full compatibility with existing user configurations.
Some highlights:
- Better DPI handling
- Extendable awful.rules providers and better awful.spawn functions
- A brand new keygrabber API
- A new GTK color palette based theme
- Widgets improvements

Obviously I couldn't get things right on the first commit. Why didn't I see
this, you ask? Because I had been running all my builds without PKG_DEVELOPER
enabled and only noticed this when 'make changes-entry' wouldn't work at
the last minute.
skhd is a simple hotkey daemon for macOS.
skhd is a stripped version of khd (no longer maintained) (although
rewritten from scratch), that sacrifices the more advanced features in
favour of increased responsiveness and performance. skhd is able to
hotload its config file, meaning that hotkeys can be edited and updated
live while skhd is running.
chunkwm is a tiling window manager for macOS that uses a plugin
architecture, successor to kwm. chunkwm represents windows as the
leaves of a binary tree, and supports binary space partitioned, monocle
and floating desktops.
Development is happening on macOS Mojave (10.14), but OSX El Capitan
(10.11.6) and newer should work fine. Older versions may or may not be
compatible and will not be officially supported.
chunkwm is controlled via the chunkc command-line utility, which sends
commands to chunkwm to manipulate windows.
chunkwm does not handle any keyboard input. A third party program (e.g.
skhd) is needed to map keyboard events to chunkwm actions via chunkc.
This is i3 v4.16.1. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
This is a bugfix release for v4.16.
Bugfixes
• Truncate wm_name utf8 strings to first zero byte
(fixes window title corruption)
• Apply title_align to non-leaf containers
Additionally, marks will now display for non-leaf containers.
• attach_to_workspace: set new parent before tree_render
(fixes a heap-use-after-free)
• Use ipc queue for all messages
(fixes an i3bar crash)
• Fix crash with popups when fullscreen is non-leaf
• Fix: render_con shows floating containers on wrong workspace
Changes:
6.2
---
- Do not allow using color fonts (workaround to avoid possible crashes)
- Set class name on status bar
- Misc bug fixes and improvements
While here, add a LICENSE definition, and fix compliation on some Linux
distributions.

1.12.0 2016-08-13
=================
* New Features
- The Tiling functions now use 'calculate-workarea' to not
overlap '_NET_WM_STRUT' windows like panels and others.
[Christopher Bratusek]
- Let 'window-icon-image' use 'NET_WM_ICON' to get 16x16 icon.
Also add a size-parameter in case a different one is desired.
[hans1024]
- Allow passing of extra (custom) arguments to compton. [Joshua
Moller-Mara]
1.11 2014-11-02
===============
* New Features
- Session scripts with xdm (and compatible) integration.
[fuchur] [Christopher Bratusek]
- 'CTWM' like interactive window placement. Previously pressing
any button while interactively placing a window would place
it. 'Sawfish' now mimics 'CTWM's behaviour: pressing button 1
will just place the window, button 2 will allow dragging to
resize the window and place it when the button releases,
button 3 will place the window and attempt to fill it to the
screen bottom. [Maxime Soulé]
- New EdgeActions for when moving windows. [Christopher
Bratusek]
- Separate left/right and top/bottom edges in SawfishConfig,
allowing for individual actions on each edge. [Christopher
Bratusek]
- Add 'send-window-to-next-head' and
'send-window-to-previous-head' functions for moving windows
across heads. [fuchur]
- Add 'toggle-window-fixed-size' for toggling fixed-size on
windows, also used in lock-button 'Button3-Off'. [fuchur]
- Add ability to move tabs around in the titlebar. [fuchur]
- Add 'run-application' by Sergey I. Sharybin, with several
improvements and better integration into Sawfish. Also add
'Run Application' entry at the bottom of the root menu.
[Christopher Bratusek]
- Add 'sawfish.wm.prg.nm-applet', simple auto-starter for the
'Network Manager Applet'. [Christopher Bratusek]
- Add 'sawfish.wm.prg.diodon', simple auto-starter for the
'Diodon Clipboard Manager'. [Christopher Bratusek]
- Add 'sawfish.wm.prg.conky', simple auto-starter for the 'Conky
System Monitor', that allows for custom command line options
to be passed. [Christopher Bratusek]
- Add 'sawfish.wm.prg.idesk', simple auto-starter for the 'Idesk
Desktop Icon Manager'. [Christopher Bratusek]
Address PR pkg/53706: build failure on NetBSD. Build tested on NetBSD
and Linux. (No PKGREVISION since NetBSD was broken, and there are no
anticipated changes to OSes where it was already building.)
Changed distribution (upstream is now on github).
Patches to the build system have been submitted upstream.
As for features since the last version, there have been many changes
that can all be found in CHANGELOG.md in the distribution. The program
continues to work as before, just better.

The old upstream last had a release in November 2005, and the new
upstream in May this year. In recent rebuilds, the old version
has developed "focus issues" when run with "sloppy focus", as is
my preference. The new upstream is a fork of blackbox but where
this among other issues have been fixed.
The patches have also been re-done and partly renamed, and some of
the old patches to build with SunPro have not been carried forward,
as I don't have a suitable system to verify that these are still
required.
Remove a not strictly needed NO_CONFIGURE (the package does not have any
configure script but it is safer to have a `configure' phase in order to avoid
possible problems (e.g. if SUBST is used and configure phases are referenced)).
From Rhialto (maintainer) in PR pkg/53584
4.0.2 (2018-08-25)
Backward-Incompatible Changes And Removed Features
- The UseThreeDIconBorders config var has been removed. It came in
silently and undocumented in 3.4 and has never done anything.
- The attempts to use DNS lookups for setting the HOSTNAME m4 variable
have been removed; it is now just a duplicate of CLIENTHOST.
New Features
- The EWMH _NET_WM_NAME property is now supported, and used for the
window name in place of the ICCCM WM_NAME when set. By default, we
also accept UTF8_STRING encoded WM_NAME as a result of this change;
see below for var to restore historical strictness.
- The EWMH _NET_WM_ICON_NAME property is now supported, and used for
the icon name in place of the ICCCM WM_ICON_NAME when set. Similar
comments as above apply to the encodings.
- Support has been added for CTWM_WM_NAME and CTWM_WM_ICON_NAME
properties, which will override any window/icon names otherwise
specified. This may be useful for applications that set unhelpful
names themselves, or for manually adjusting labelling. These
properties can be set from the command line via xprop; as an
example, xprop -f CTWM_WM_NAME 8u -set CTWM_WM_NAME "awesome
windowsauce". See xprop(1) manual for details; the s, t, and u field
type specifiers will all work.
- When no icon name is set for a window, we've always used the window
name for the icon name as well. But that only happened the first
time the window name is set; after that, the icon name is stuck at
the first name. It now updates along with the window name, if no
icon name is set.
- All icon manager windows will now have the TwmIconManager class set
on them, so they can be addressed en mass by other config like
NoTitle by that class name.
New Config Options
- Added DontNameDecorations config option to disable setting names on
the X windows we create for window decoration (added in 4.0.0).
These have been reported to confuse xwit, and might do the same for
other tools that don't expect to find them on non-end-app windows.
Reported by Frank Steiner.
- Added StrictWinNameEncoding config option to enable historical
behavior, where we're reject invalid property encoding for window
naming properties (like a UTF8_STRING encoded WM_NAME).
Bugfixes
- Fix up broken parsing of IconifyStyle "sweep". Bug was introduced in
4.0.0.
- When multiple X Screens are used, building the temporary file for m4
definitions could fail with an error from mkstemp(). Reported by
Manfred Knick.
- When multiple X Screens are used, the OTP code didn't recognize the
difference, and kept everything in one list. This caused the
internal consistency checks to trip when it didn't find all the
windows it expected. Reported by Terran Melconian.
- When ReverseCurrentWorkspace is set, mapping windows not on the
current workspace (e.g., via restarting ctwm, or creating new
windows with the desktop set via EWMH properties) could segfault.
Reported by Sean McAllister.
- Fix some edge cases where we'd fight other apps' focus handling.
When an application moved focus itself to an unrelated (in X terms)
window, our processing would often race and re-move the focus to the
root ourselves. This was visible with e.g. sub-windows in Firefox
for context menu and urlbar dropdown, which would flash on and then
disappear.
- When creating a new transient window of an existing full-screen
window, the OTP stacking may cause it to be stuck below the main
window due to the special handling of full-screen focused windows in
EWMH. It should now be forced to the top.
- Building ctwm since 4.0.0 in certain locales could misorder
functions in the lookup table, leading to troubles parsing the
config file. You'd get some loud "INTERNAL ERROR" lines from ctwm
when running it if this were the case. Now fixed. Reported by
Richard Levitte.
4.0.1 (2017-06-05)
User Visible Changes
Fix a bug where fullscreen windows could sometimes wind up incorrectly stacked due to a focus-handling issue. This would lead to ctwm aborting with an assertion failure in the OTP code, like Assertion failed: (PRI(owl) >= priority), function OtpCheckConsistencyVS.
Fix an edge case (probably only triggerable via manual work with EWMH messages) where a window could wind up resized down to nothing.
Internals
Systems with the ctfconvert/ctfmerge tools available will now use them to include CTF info in the compiled binary. This allows more detailed inspection of the running process via DTrace (e.g., the layout of the structs).
The initial rumblings of a Developer's Manual are now in doc/devman/. This isn't tied into the main build, and there's no real reason it ever will be. Things of interest to users should wind up in the main manual; this should only have things of interest to people developing ctwm.
4.0.0 (2017-05-24)
Build System Change
The old imake build system has been replaced by a new structure using cmake. This makes cmake a requirement to build ctwm. See the README.md file for how to run it.
A fallback minimal build system is available in the minibuild/ directory for environments that can't use the main one. This is likely to need some manual adjustment on many systems, and the main build is strongly preferred. But it should suffice to get a runnable binary if all else fails.
Platform Support
Support for many non-current platforms has been dropped. In particular, remnants of special-case VMS support have been removed. Many old and now dead Unix variants have been similarly desupported. Generally, platforms without support for C99 and mid-2000's POSIX are increasingly less likely to work.
Backward-Incompatible Changes And Removed Features
Argument parsing has been rewritten to use getopt_long(). All -long options are now --long instead. -version, -info, -cfgchk, and -display are still accepted if they're the first option given, to make it easier for scripts to simultaneously support before/after versions; this shim will be removed in a later version.
Support for the SDSC imconv library, and the IMCONV options related to it, has been removed. The last release is almost 20 years old, and doesn't support any remotely recent platforms.
The USE_SIGNALS code to use signal-driven animations has been removed. It's been non-default since 3.2 (more than 20 years ago), and not documented anywhere but in the code and a comment in this file.
The USE_GNOME option and code for GNOME1 support has been removed.
The old-style title button action specifications (without an = in them) deprecated since 3.8 are no longer supported. Just replacing the ":" with "= :" should suffice to make it work right in 3.8+. If you need to share configs with older versions, you'll have to conditionalize the syntax with m4 or some other preprocessing.
The f.cut (and ^ alias for it), f.cutfile, and f.file functions have been removed. These functions for messing with the clipboard were never visibly documented, and came into the manpage in 3.0 already commented-out and saying they were obsolete.
The f.source function has been removed. It's never done anything (except beep) as far back as 1.1 and has never been documented.
The f.movemenu function has been removed. It was added silently in 2.1, has never done anything, and has never been documented.
The NoVersion config parameter has been removed. It's been undocumented, obsoleted, and done absolutely nothing since 1.1.
Support for non-flex versions of lex(1) is deprecated, and will take some manual work to build. Note that release tarballs include prebuild lexers, so this probably only matters to people building from a development tree. (And if you are, and really need AT&T or some other lex to work, talk to us!)
Support for building with internal regex implementation has been disabled; we now require regex support from libc. It is still possible to enable by manually editing files, but this will be removed in the future. If you have to mess with this, please bring it up on the mailing list so we can figure out a long-term solution.
Parsing of the ctwm.workspaces X resource (i.e., setting -xrm "ctwm.workspaces: something" on program command-lines) since 3.0 has collapsed doubled backslashes (\\) into a single (\). However, there were no other escapes, so this didn't gain anything. Using a single will work with both variants, unless you need multiple backslashes in a row in your workspace names.
The IconRegion and WindowRegion config params both take a vgrav hgrav pair of parameters to control layout. Previous versions would accept a hgrav vgrav ordering in the parsing, and would mostly work by odd quirks of the code. The parsing has been made stricter, so only the documented vgrav hgrav ordering is accepted now.
User Visible Changes
The default install locations have been changed. See the README for details about where things are installed and how to change them.
Several default settings have been changed. ctwm now defaults to acting as though RestartPreviousState, NoGrabServer, DecorateTransients, NoBackingStore, RandomPlacement, OpaqueMove, OpaqueResize, SortIconManager, and StartInMapState have been set. Those settings that didn't previously have an inverse (to get the behavior previously seen when they weren't specified) have such added; see below.
Added various config parameters as inverses of existing params. New params (with existing param they invert in parens):
BackingStore (NoBackingStore)
GrabServer (NoGrabServer)
StartInButtonState (StartInMapState)
NoSortIconManager (SortIconManager)
NoRestartPreviousState (RestartPreviousState)
NoDecorateTransients (DecorateTransients)
Added DontShowWelcomeWindow config option to not show welcome splashscreen image.
Selected a number of cleanups from Stefan Monnier <monnier%IRO.UMontreal.CA@localhost>, including rate-limiting of animations using a new _XA_WM_END_OF_ANIMATION message. Font height is estimated based on used characters only. Added some similar changes, improved the prevention of placing windows off-screen, the f.rescuewindows function for emergencies, a hack-fix for f.adoptwindow. More virtual screen tweaks/fixes.
Added the remaining OnTopPriority changes from Stefan Monnier <monnier%IRO.UMontreal.CA@localhost>: AutoPopup, AutoPriority, OnTopPriority, PrioritySwitching, f.changepriority, f.priorityswitching, f.setpriority, f.switchpriority, f.tinylower, f.tinyraise. Currently consistency checking code is enabled, which will terminate with an assertion failure if something unexpected happens. Smoothed out various inconsistencies that this check discovered when virtual screens are used.
Basic support for EWMH (Extended Window Manager Hints) added and enabled by default. EWMHIgnore {} config option allows selectively disabling bits. [Olaf "Rhialto" Seibert, Matthew Fuller]
Icon manager windows are no longer included in the window ring (that had confusing effects on the focus sequence).
Added --dumpcfg command-line option to print out the compiled-in fallback config file.
The Occupy {} specification now accepts "ws:" as a prefix for workspaces. This may break things if you have workspaces with names that differ only by that prefix (e.g., you have workspaces "abc" and "ws:abc", and your Occupy {} declarations affects both.
If ctwm is built with rplay support, sounds may now be configured with the RplaySounds {} parameter in the config file in place of the ~/.ctwm-sounds file. If so, ctwm will give a warning if .ctwm-sounds exists; support for the external file will be removed in a future version. Also the SoundHost config parameter is replaced by RplaySoundHost; the old name is still accepted, but will be removed in a future version.
Added MWMIgnore {} config option to allow selectively disabling honoring of some Motif WM hints.
Warping to a window now explicitly sets focus on that window. This would generally (but not always, in the presence of odd X server behavior) have already happened for users with focus following mouse, but now occurs for ClickToFocus users as well. [Alexander Klein]
Several bugs relating to the Occupy window were fixed. Iconifying the Occupy window no longer loses it and leaves you unable to pull it up again. Minor undersizing in some cases fixed.
Windows which fail to use the WM_HINTS property to tell us things like whether they want us to give them focus are now explicitly given focus anyway. This should fix focus problems with some apps (Chromium is a common example).
Added ForceFocus {} config option to forcibly give focus to all (or specified) windows, whether they request it or not. Previously the code did this unconditionally (except when no WM_HINTS were provided; x-ref previous), but this causes problems with at least some programs that tell us they don't want focus, and mean it (some Java GUI apps are common examples).
OpaqueMoveThreshold values >= 200 (the default) are now treated as infinite, and so will always cause opaque moving.
Internals
A new code style has been chosen and the entire codebase reformatted into it. Configs for Artistic Style to generate the proper output are in the source tree.
The full_name element of the TwmWindow structure has been removed. Consumers should just use the name element instead
Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.
