Window Maker 0.95.9:
SwitchPanel is now more configurable: you can configure the switch panel icon size by setting the “SwitchPanelIconSize” option to your preferred value in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker. The font size used in this panel now is also sensible to changes in the system font.
New user configuration directory environment variable. In previous versions, the GNUstep directory used to store a user’s Window Maker configuration files was specified by the GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT environment variable, which defaulted to ~/GNUstep. However, this environment variable was deprecated in gnustep-make v2. Therefore, it has been replaced by the WMAKER_USER_ROOT environment variable.
libXmu is now an optional dependency.If the library is not found, compilation work, the only limitation will arise when trying to install the standard colormap on displays which are not TrueColor. Please note that if you have the library but not the headers, configure will still stop; there is no user option to explicitly disable the library use.
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.
