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.
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.
Fix segfault when loading "layout" with non-zero parameters.
This affected multi-region. stack() must be called after the region bars
are created.
Fix layout entry in man page.
Improve stacking for windows with multiple transients.
Fix hang in fullscreen layout when a window has multiple transients.
Fix focus_(prev|next) for windows with multiple transients.
Add a missing queue.h macro to Linux util.h.
Set stacking order when setting up a new status bar.
Fixes stacking issues that can arise on a randr screenchange event.
Fix segfault in fullscreen layout when a window with transient(s) unmap.
Add default maximize_toggle binding to man page.
Add clarification for the 'name' option to man page.
Remove stray new paragraph macro in man page.
Changes since previous version:
Fix text rendering issue in search_win.
The depth of the indicator window must match the depth of the allocated
text color. To ensure this is always the case, copy from root
instead of parent.
Ignore EnterNotify when entering from an inferior window.
Fix floating windows remaining borderless after being fullscreen.
Fix window border colors when moving windows to hidden workspaces.
Add new OBEYAPPFOCUSREQ quirk.
When an application requests focus on the window via a
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client message (source indication of 1),
comply with the request.
Improve support for Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH).
Add support for _NET_CURRENT DESKTOP, _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES,
_NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS and _NET_CLIENT_LIST.
Windows are sorted according to _NET_CLIENT_LIST at start.
Change iconify to use _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN instead of
_SWM_ICONIC.
Add _NET_WM_FULL_PLACEMENT to _NET_SUPPORTED.
Improve handling of _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN.
Improve general handling of EWMH.
Fix focus issues when a window maps/unmaps on an unfocused region.
Fix calls to get property length that did not adjust for item size.
Fix stacking issues.
Fix segfault.
Disable swapwin on fullscreen layout.
Remove floating property from ws_win struct.
Add new macros for accessing ewmh_flags.
on pkgsrc-users.
Changes:
This release adds the ability to move/resize floating windows beyond
region boundaries. It adds 'soft boundary' behavior to region
boundaries. When moving a window past the region boundary, the
window will 'snap' to the region boundary if it is less than
boundary_width distance beyond the edge. A new boundary_width
configuration option has been added. The 'soft boundary' behavior
can be disabled by setting this option to 0. The ability to set
tile_gap to negative values has been added, which makes it possible
for tiled windows to overlap. Set this to the opposite of border_width
to collapse borders.
Based on a package by Lokesh Mandvekar <lsm5@fedoraproject.org>
and wm/scrotwm.
Spectrwm is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11. It tries
to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be
used for much more important stuff. It has sane defaults and does
not require one to learn a language to do any configuration. It
was written by hackers for hackers and it strives to be small,
compact and fast.
It was largely inspired by xmonad and dwm. Both are fine products
but suffer from things like: crazy-unportable-language-syndrome,
silly defaults, asymmetrical window layout, "how hard can it be?"
and good old NIH. Nevertheless dwm was a phenomenal resource and
many good ideas and code was borrowed from it. On the other hand
xmonad has great defaults, key bindings and xinerama support but
is crippled by not being written in C.
Spectrwm is a beautiful pearl! For it too, was created by grinding
irritation. Nothing is a bigger waste of time than moving windows
around until they are the right size-ish or having just about any
relevant key combination being eaten for some task one never needs.
The path of agony is too long to quote and in classical OpenBSD
fashion (put up, or hack up) a brand new window manager was whooped
up to serve no other purpose than to obey its masters. It was
written by Marco Peereboom & Ryan Thomas McBride and it is released
under the ISC license.
