[Note: If you've used Windowmaker before, you might want to read
the NEWS file included with the distribution (on each update, really).]
More interesting changes:
- Disabled window birth animation by default (while it was ok with normal
windows, it was very annoying with menus editing in WPrefs.app)
- Added ability to shade/unshade a window using the mouse wheel.
- Added "Save workspace state" switch button on the exit confirmation panel
(based on a patch sent by Jan Tomka <judas@linux.sk>)
- SIGTERM is now handled and saves the internal state before exiting (like
SIGHUP and SIGINT already do). Now a "kill wmaker_pid" will exit cleanly
saving dock/clip/session information on exit.
- Deminiaturizing a window that is also shaded, will perform an unshade too.
(Note that this only applies to deminiaturizing shaded windows. Unhiding
an application will keep the shaded/unshaded state of windows.)
- Removed compile time option for definable cursors and made them available by
default.
- Mapping a new window that belongs to a running application that is hidden,
will unhide the application.
- Removed the collapse appicons thing.
- Added real appicon sharing (apps of the same kind will have a single shared
appicon).
- Fixed user and global defaults domain merging to preserve values present in
global but not in user, in sub-dictionaries.
- Made dock/clip steal appicons of applications that were started from a
shell/xterm or from the main menu, if there is a docked appicon of that
class that is not running at the time the app is launched.
- Added animation to show that the appicon was stolen by the dock (the way
NEXTSTEP did - map an appicon as it normally would have been, then slide it
to the position the docked appicon is).
- Updated the animation constants for scrolling/sliding/shading to better
adapt to newer/faster machines. Also used wusleep(10) when the delay was 0
to get rid of the jerky animation when there was no delay.
- Saving a domain file will first strip all entries that are also present in
the global domain as well and are exactly the same. This fixes a bug where
settings from the global domain file were merged in the user domain file
and further changes in the global domain file for those merged values was
ignored making a system admin unable to set global defaults for all users
using the global domains.
Also, some bug fixes and localization updates.
* Language:
. New command @anchor for cross references to arbitrary points.
. New commands @documentlanguage sets the main document language,
and @documentencoding sets the document input encoding (although not
much is done yet with either).
. New command @pagesizes allows limited control of text area for typesetting.
. New command @acronym for abbreviations in all caps, such as `NASA'.
. New command @alias for simple command aliases.
. New command @definfoenclose for better control of info output.
. New commands @deftypeivar for typed instance variables of a class
and @deftypeop for typed operations of a class.
. New command @novalidate suppresses cross-reference checking and (in
TeX) auxiliary file creation.
. New commands @setcontentsaftertitlepage and
@setshortcontentsaftertitlepage to force printing the table of
contents after @end titlepage. Also, @contents and @shortcontents
themselves can now appear at the beginning of the document as
well as the end.
. New markup commands: @env (for environment variables), @command (for
command names), @option (for command-line options).
. New commands @smallformat and @smalldisplay, a la @smallexample.
. New command @exampleindent to set indentation of example-like
environments a la @paragraphindent.
. @uref takes an optional third argument of text to show instead of
(rather than in addition to) the url for info and dvi output.
. @footnote works in an @item for a @table.
* texinfo.tex:
. implements @macro.
. implements @paragraphindent (except asis).
. @emph and @i use true italic type (cmti) instead of slanted (cmsl).
. implements pdf output when run with pdftex.
. better support for internationalization via txi-??.tex files.
* makeinfo:
. supports HTML output with the --html option.
. implication of --html: @top nodes should be wrapped in @ifnottex
rather than @ifinfo. @ifinfo conditionals are not expanded with --html.
. new option --number-sections to output chapter/section numbers.
. dashes and quotes are not treated specially in node names.
. new option --commands-in-node-names to allow @-commands in node names.
(Not implemented in TeX, and most likely never will be.)
. @emph output uses _underscores_.
. @image looks for .png files before .jpg.
. only output `Making ... file' line when verbose.
. allow -v as synonym for --verbose.
. new command line options to specify which conditionals to process
(but --iftex is not fully implemented).
. warns if @var contains any of ,[]().
. @quote-arg implicitly done for all one-argument macros, so commas in
the argument text are allowed.
. \\ required in macro body to get single \, no other `escapes' defined.
* info:
. ISO Latin 1 characters are displayed and input as-is by default.
. new option --vi-keys to enable vi-like and less-like key bindings.
. new command S does case-sensitive searching.
. new commands C-x n and C-x N repeat last search, respectively, in the
same and in reverse direction, without prompting for the string. These
commands are bound to n and N under --vi-keys, like in Less.
. new command G menu1 menu2 ... searches for menu items from (dir),
as allowed on the command line.
. new command O (capital o, not zero) goes directly to the node that
describes command-line options.
. new command-line option --show-options causes the node which
describes command-line options to be the first node displayed.
. M-prior and M-DEL do new command info-scroll-other-window-backward.
. / searches like s does.
. If the search string includes upper-case letters, in both incremental
and non-incremental search, the search is case-sensitive.
. S searches case-sensitively even if the search string is all
lower-case.
. - makes the argument negative (so e.g. `- /' searches backward).
. l restores point in the window returned to.
. SPC/DEL do not move outside the current document.
. foo.info is found before foo.
. `info foo --index-search=bar' now searches for bar in foo's index.
. support for files compressed with bzip2.
* install-info:
. handles gzipped dir files.
. sort entries into alphabetical order.
. install direntries only in preceding dircategory, not in all.
. --delete does not require the info file to exist.
. --delete can handle XEmacs-style dir entries.
* texi2dvi:
. bug fixed: now uses only the @iftex and @tex parts of the source.
. process LaTeX source as well as Texinfo source.
. output PDF (using pdftex) with new option --pdf.
. handles --OPTION=ARG style of command line arguments.
. new option --batch for progress reports but no interaction.
. new option --clean to remove all auxiliary files.
. new option --quiet for silence (unless there are errors).
. new option -I for specifying directories for @include to search.
. handles LaTeX files (running BibTeX etc.).
* Fixes to util/gen-dir-node and util/fix-info-dir (formerly util/update-info).
using either the native pthread implementation or using a package pthread
implementation instead, e.g. pth, ptl2, mit-pthreads, etc. The only
currently supported package pthread implementation is pth as it's the only
one with a buildlink.mk file. An example usage is:
USE_PTHREAD= native pth
.include "../../mk/pthread.buildlink.mk"
or a fancier example is:
USE_PTHREAD= native
.include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk"
.if defined(PTHREAD_TYPE) && (${PTHREAD_TYPE} == "none")
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --without-pthreads
.endif
.include "../../mk/pthread.buildlink.mk"
This release introduces extended UI customization, a full-screen
mode, a way to turn off the dicache (saving lots of memory), and
optimized code for handling resize requests in the page widget.
The whole HTML tag parsing and URL resolving modules are new,
improved, and more standards-compliant. Several bugfixes and other
enhancements were also made.
Determine the appropriate flags for the Alpha 433a I now have.
(Insert appropriate grumble about there being no sysctl way to tell
the cputype on an Alpha)
autoconf-2.5* by touching some more files. Thanks to YAMAMOTO Takashi
<yamt@mwd.biglobe.ne.jp> for pointing out the error in private e-mail.
Also list several packages on which to verify this code after making
changes to the AUTOMAKE*_PATTERNS.
available, you get an HTML page instead. Fixed a syntax error in
configure.in that caused compilation to fail (even with the old
version) due to gettext(3) not found (-lintl was dropped).
