Changes in stable release 2.6.7 (06-Mar-2016)
* New fvwm features:
- A new default configuration which is available when fvwm
doesn't detect a configuration file to load.
- A new conitional command "Desk n" can restrict matching
windows to a specific desk.
- A new conditional command "Screen n" to restrict matching
windows on a given Xinerama screen.
- 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.
- GTK1.x support has been removed.
- GNOME-specific window hints (pre-EWMH) have been removed.
- Some fvwm modules have been removed:
- FvwmDragWell (no replacement)
- FvwmGTK (no replacement)
- FvwmSave (no replacement)
- FvwmSaveDesk (no replacement)
- FvwmScroll (no replacement)
- FvwmTabs (no replacement, never worked anyway)
- FvwmTaskBar (use FvwmButtons)
- FvwmTheme (in core of fvwm as colorsets)
- FvwmWharf (use FvwmButtons)
- FvwmWinList (use WindowList command)
- FvwmWindowMenu (use WindowList command)
- FvwmIconBox (use the IconBox style instead)
* New module features:
- FvwmButtons learned a new option "Colorset" to its
ChangeButton command.
* fvwm-menu-desktop updated:
- Renamed default menu to XDGMenu and changed the name
of the FvwmForm to FvwmForm-XDGMenu-Config to not conflict
with someone already using FvwmMenu.
- fvwm-menu-desktop will now load defaults from the
FvwmForm-XDGMenu-Config data file.
- Improved dynamic menus by regenerating them on-the-fly.
- Added new options: --regen-cmd, --dynamic, and more.
* Bug fixes:
- A bug introduced in 2.6.6 could cause applications with
negative coordinates to be placed at strange positions. This
affected for example acroread when switching to fullscreen
mode. This has been fixed.
- FvwmButtons "Silent" option for dynamic ChangeButton commands
no longer loops infinitely.
Changes in stable release 2.6.6 (15-Mar-2016)
* New fvwm features:
- Support for Russian from Ivan Gayevskiy.
- EnvMatch supports infostore variables.
- The option "forget" to the Maximize command allows to
unmaximize a window without changing its size and position.
- Windows shaded to a corner (NW, NE, SW, SE) are reduced to a
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.

lines. As previewed on tech-pkg. With thanks to rillig for fixing pkglint
accordingly.
The find-prefix infrastructure was required in a pkgviews world where
packages installed from pkgsrc could have different installation
prefixes, and this was a way for a dependency prefix to be determined.
Now that pkgviews has been removed there is no longer any need for the
overhead of this infrastructure. Instead we use BUILDLINK_PREFIX.pkg
for dependencies pulled in via buildlink, or LOCALBASE/PREFIX where the
dependency is coming from pkgsrc.
Provides a reasonable performance win due to the reduction of `pkg_info
-qp` calls, some of which were redundant anyway as they were duplicating
the same information provided by BUILDLINK_PREFIX.pkg.
Problems found with existing distfiles:
distfiles/fvwm-1.24r.tar.gz
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.

to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
Suggested by tron in PR 47882
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
- patch target for patch-ab and patch-configure were the same.
Merged them as patch-ab.
(Naturally Revoming patches/patch-configure.)
- Also cvs delete for patches/patch-a[ce] were missing, corrected.
libXext/buildlink3.mk, now that it is included there.
Leave the places where its API version is set or variables from it
are used directly (about 3 packages).
