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.
by me.
Changes are bugfixes, and the following:
- copy/paste launching in Dock
- internal code clean-up with notifications for window state change and other
stuff
- removed the libPropList dependancy by adding property list handling
code to WINGs. This code is not only better integrated with the other
WINGs data structures, but it's also more robust. Also a backward
compatibility header file is provided which maps old libPropList
function names to the new WINGs based proplist names allowing old code
to be linked to WINGs with minimal changes. For details on how to use
the compat mode, read the comments on top of WINGs/WINGs/proplist-compat.h
More details about this can be found in WINGs/ChangeLog and WINGs/NEWS.
Say bye, bye libPropList =)
- rewrote all Window Maker code to use the new WINGs based proplist functions.
0.65.0 are:
- removed FocusFollowMouse from wmaker and WPrefs
- fixed problem with alpha images showing a blue tint on big endian machines
- fixed problem with WINGs based apps exiting with a "X_RotateProperties"
related error when text was selected in a textfiled (including WPrefs.app
and Window Maker itself).
- fixed bug with maximization of windows with fixed resize increments
- added None geometry display type
- fixed window enumeration bug
- removed GNUisms from wsetfont (Marcelo E. Magallon <marcelo.magallon@bigfoot.com>, Masahide -mac- NODA <mac@clave.gr.jp>)
- added slovakian translations from (tomka@oalevice.sk)
- added WINGs i18n patch from tomka@oalevice.sk
- fixed wmsetbg.c to work in servers capable of multiple depths (overlay)
- added HMaximizeKey (Ruda Moura <ruda@conectiva.com.br>)
- fixed bad SIGPIPE handling setup across forks (Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org>)
- added workaround for bug in locale handling on font set creation (Seiichi SATO <sato@cvs-net.co.jp>)
- Fixed some non-portable shell constructs used in installed scripts
(Johnny C. Lam <lamj@stat.cmu.edu>)
- Fixed crash with long titles in the window list menu (buffer overflow)
(Alban Hertroys <dalroi@wit401310.student.utwente.nl>, reported by
Robert Marshall <robert@chezmarshall.freeserve.co.uk>)
- Replaced almost all sprintf() calls with snprintf()
- fixed crash when removing menu entry for Window List or Workspace submenu
Bug fixes for GNOME interaction; fixes for window positions/states after
wm crashes; removed single appicon stuff; fixed race conditions on signal
handlers; SIGINT will gently exit, SIGTERM will not be handled; better alpha
handling in some cases; MouseButton handling done differently (don't bind
Button to Action, but Action to Button); made "Keep on Top" in the dock/clip
menu a checked menu entry.
Please note: There was a bug in XPM saving -- please delete your icons in
~/GNUstep/.AppInfo/WindowMaker, they will be recreated on the next start
of the corresponding programs.
