* Respect maximise states while resizing
* Add basic .desktop file
* Add configuration file
$HOME/.evilwmrc - options are one per line, omitting leading dash.
* Add long alternatives to -g, -v and -s
-geometry, -vdesk and -sticky.
* Record pre-maximisation dimensions in evilwm-specific window properties
_EVILWM_UNMAXIMISED_HORZ and _EVILWM_UNMAXIMISED_VERT.
* Extensive EWMH support. See doc/standards.html for details.
* Mostly new Makefile
* Clean up terminology: use "fixed" instead of "sticky": EWMH uses
the term "sticky" to mean something different.
* Add ability to toggle visible state of docks with Ctrl+Alt+D
Usually apps like pagers or launch bars.
* Add -dock option to force app to be considered a dock
* Snap-to-border and colourmap support no longer optional
Though -snap still defaults to 0 (off).
* fix: drawing window outline with border_width > 1 [David Flynn]
(bottom and right edges wouldn't encompass the border)
* build: enable out-of-tree builds [David Flynn]
* build: enable ISO c99 [David Flynn]
* Fix snapping on multiple screens [Ben Stern]
* Window gravity behviour fixes.
* Remove warning about strict-aliasing rules [Larry Doolittle]
which is provided by the "imlib-gtk" package. As nobody seems to be
missing support for that library there is probably no point in adding
this dependency.

PyTyle is a manual tiling manager that can slide into any EWMH
compliant window manager, inspired by XMonad. It will allow you to
enable/disable tiling on a per screen per workspace basis, and
continually tile your windows.
Features include:
* Built in multi-monitor support (using Xinerama)
* Continuous tiling behavior similar to that of XMonad.
* Manual tiling on a per screen per workspace basis. Have tiling
on one screen/workspace and not the other.
* Comes pre-packaged with a variety of tiling layouts ready for
use. Also, PyTyle's object oriented design makes it incredibly easy
to add or customize your own tiling layouts.
* Some configuration options include:
* Adding margins on a per-screen basis (to force PyTyle to ignore
docks/panels).
* Tell PyTyle to ignore certain windows from tiling.
* Configure defaults layouts on a per screen per workspace basis.
* Completely customize all of PyTyle's key bindings.
* Dynamically reload configuration file.
with minor two fixes.
PR#44987 by Bug Hunting
5.8.2 30 May 2010
Changes: Implemented better fullscreen handling.
5.8.1 29 May 2010 18:29
Changes: Yesterday's fullscreen fixes broke certain fullscreen capabilities
that worked correctly for mplayer and other tools. This is fixed in this
release.
5.8 28 May 2010 15:11
Changes: This release fixes several fullscreen application bugs and contains
various code cleanups.
* Bug fixes:
- fvwm-convert-2.6: Don't double-up comma separated options to
conditional commands if they're already delimited by commas.
- Correctly report a window's height and width if the window has
incomplete resize increment set.
- Maintain any State hints on a window when used with WindowStyle.
- FvwmIconMan now correctly handles sticky windows.
1.7.1 "Chewing Drum"
====================
* Build and Installation
- Fixed installation for non-root users [Stefano Sabatini]
Previously when installing to a private directory as an
ordinary user, the installation failed, because some files
were forced to be installed in /usr. This is fixed now.
- Chooseable session files [Christopher Bratusek] Now you can
choose what session files to install. This is done by a
tripplet of configure-options:
* -with/out-kde4session: enable or disable the
installation of session files for KDE4. Default: enabled
* -with/out-gnome2session: enable or disable the
installation of session files for GNOME2.
Default: enabled
* -with/out-xdmsession: enable or disable the installation
of session files for XDM (or other display-managers like
KDM/GDM). Default: enabled
* Bug Fixes
- Interactive `call-command' [Teika Kazura] Interactive
`call-command' used to print an error-message when cancelled
via pressing escape. It doesn't anymore.
* Misc Changes
- Turn `focus-ignore-pointer-events' into an internal variable
(has wrongly been a user-option before) [Teika Kazura]
alternative from mk/jpeg.buildlink3.mk
This allows selection of an alternative jpeg library (namely the x86 MMX,
SSE, SSE2 accelerated libjpeg-turbo) via JPEG_DEFAULT=libjpeg-turbo, and
follows the current standard model for alternatives (fam, motif, fuse etc).
The mechanical edits were applied via the following script:
#!/bin/sh
for d in */*; do
[ -d "$d" ] || continue
for i in "$d/"Makefile* "$d/"*.mk; do
case "$i" in *.orig|*"*"*) continue;; esac
out="$d/x"
sed -e 's;graphics/jpeg/buildlink3\.mk;mk/jpeg.buildlink3.mk;g' \
-e 's;BUILDLINK_PREFIX\.jpeg;JPEGBASE;g' \
< "$i" > "$out"
if cmp -s "$i" "$out"; then
rm -f "$out"
else
echo "Edited $i"
mv -f "$i" "$i.orig" && mv "$out" "$i"
fi
done
done
1.6.3.1 "Acid Folk"
===================
* Fixed a possible compilation-error in prompt.jl [Harald van Dijk]
1.6.3 "Hava Nagila"
===================
* Bugfixes
- In tabbed-windows the left/right end is no longer outside the
window, if that is too small [Fuchur]
- Unsupported option `ignore-window-input-hint' is deleted
which has been invalid for long. [Teika kazura]
- Honor the user option `maximize-raises' in
`maximize-window-fullscreen' and
`maximize-window-fullxinerama', too, not just in
maximize-window [Nolan Leake]
- More robustness in applications menu [Teika Kazura, Matthew
Love]
Before it broke for 'R' (statistics software), and whitespace
handling didn't follow the specification.
Some *.desktop files are not ignored any more either, i.e.,
leading empty lines and comments are allowed.
- Allow compilation with -DDEBUG flag passed [Alexey I. Froloff]
* New Features
- XRandR events (eg resolution changes) call the new hook
`randr-changed-notify-hook' [Daniel M. German]
See *Note RandR and Xinerama::.
- Tabbed windowing system improvements [Fuchur]
+ Support for transient tab-frames
+ New frame classes:
x tab-s (side tab)
x tab-ls (side tab, left/bottom end)
x tab-rs (side tab, right/top end)
+ Tabgroups now support a set of new properties and
actions: `type', `set-frame-style', `fixed-position',
`iconify'. In addition, new tabs gain those properties
from their parent window.
- New command `display-window-position' [Teika kazura]
User chooses a window by cursor and click, and it prints its
position and size in a popup. Also available as a function,
defined in `sawfish.wm.util.display-wininfo'.
- New function `window-pid' [Teika kazura]
It returns the process ID of a window. (*note Window
Attributes::
- Window instance name is now accessible [Teika kazura]
Technically, the window class consists of "instance" and
"class", but only the latter was returned previously by the
function `window-class'. Now with the new optional argument,
the instance is returned too. (*note Window Attributes::)
- Customizable lisp directory [Teika kazura]
User can add lisp directories to be read with the
environmental variable `SAWFISH_USER_LISP_DIR'. Its value is
directories separated by colon, like `PATH', and prepended to
`load-path'. If not set, `~/.sawfish/lisp' is assumed. For
example, if you define a module `sawfish.wm.super-hack', then
it can be read from
`~/.sawfish/lisp/sawfish/wm/super-hack.jl'.
User can override system lisp files, too. For example, if
there is `~/.sawfish/lisp/sawfish/wm/windows.jl', then it
defines `sawfish.wm.windows', instead of the installed one.
(But this can easily break your Sawfish startup.) In fact, it
was possible for some lisp files, but now it's guaranteed for
all files.
* Other Changes
- Info improvements [Teika kazura]
+ "Windows" chapter is partly revised. Function
`display-window' is documented. Difference between
`window-wants-input-p' and `window-really-wants-input-p'
is described. Short description on the root window.
+ In past few versions we made more changes which were not
described in the news, including clarification in
viewport, workspace and event, and window matching lisp
functions.
+ Added a faq item on multi-head and workspace.
+ Edition number and the date of last change are dropped
from the info. We now edit the info often, so they are
not so much meaningful.
- Pressing the lock-button does the state-change of the window
accordingly. [Fuchur]
No theme shipped with Sawfish does have the lock-button yet,
though.
- Make xinerama an optional dependency [original patch from
Gentoo]
1.6.2 "Mighty Disco King"
=========================
* The 1.6.2 release has some improvements.
* Bugfixes
- Application menu is more robust now. [Matthew Love,
Christopher Bratusek]
Application menu, introduced in 1.6.0, made Sawfish crash if
`*.desktop' file had a malformed key value (say ; as first
character or # somewhere inside), or it was unreadable. It is
fixed.
- Minor fix of window placement by direction [Teika kazura]
When the window placement mode is for example `east' and the
window is wider than the screen, then the window was put
wrongly. It is fixed.
* New features
- New command `maximize-discard' [Teika kazura]
The command `maximize-discard' stops a maximized window to be
treated as maximized any more, so that you can move and
resize the window.
The functinon `maximize-discard' has existed, and now it's
exported.
- New command `jump-or-exec' [Christopher Bratusek]
The user uploaded module "jump-or-exec" has been merged. It
provides `jump-or-exec', a command which may be used to focus
a window, or if it does not exist, start the application.
Unlike the original version this one also supports matching a
window by its class (returned by `window-class' function),
which makes it more flexible for applications like music
player or browsers, which tend to change their WM_NAME
relatively often.
For usage, see `lisp/sawfish/wm/commands/jump-or-exec.jl'
file.
* Misc
- Improved ebuild and specfile [Christopher Bratusek] [Kim B.
Heino]
- Updated documentation [Christopher Bratusek] [Teika Kazura]
- Removed `frame-style-editable-p' and all other remaining
sawfish-themer fragments, as it's dead. [Christopher Bratusek]
1.6.1 "Astral"
==============
* The 1.6.1 release brings several bugfixes and improvements
* Build and Installation
- New/Updated requirements:
+ librep 0.90.4 -> 0.90.5
+ rep-gtk 0.90.0 -> 0.90.2
- The configure option `--without-nine-mouse-buttons' is not
allowed to have 4 hyphens, therefore it's renamed to
`--without-nine-mousebuttons'. [Christopher Bratusek]
- Reworked configures help-message for better readability.
[Kim B. Heino]
- Configure now uses `kde4-config --install data' rather than
`kde4-config --path data', so no sed-kludge is needed anymore.
Make $datadir/kde4/apps/ the fallback path, if KDE4 is not
installed. [Kim B. Heino]
- Majorly improved debian and rpm packaging scripts.
[Christopher Bratusek] [Kim B. Heino]
- The spec has been reworked to detect kde4/librep directories
while runtime, instead of hardcoding those paths from
configure, which makes it more portable. [Kim B. Heino]
- Our own implementation of dlmalloc is disabled since 2002, as
it breaks sawfish on several architectures. From this version
on, we don't ship it anymore. [Kim B. Heino]
- Export the imageloader beeing used by sawfish in the .pc file.
[Christopher Bratusek]
- Don't remove the .pot file upon `make distclean'.
[Christopher Bratusek]
- Install Sawfishs header files to $includedir/sawfish/.
[Christopher Bratusek]
- Autotools improvements (Makefile, autogen.sh & Co.)
[Christopher Bratusek]
* Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where the gnome-panels pager gets confused about
the current viewport when displaying all workspaces. [Jeremy
Hankins]
- Fixed minor bugs in viewport.jl. [Jeremy Hankins]
* Doc
- Fixed a small doc misstake (refered to window-set instead of
window-put). [Christopher Bratusek]
- Fixed the docstrings of shrink and yank. [Timo Korvola]
* Misc
- Last 3 instances of "sawmill" replaced by "sawfish". [Kim B.
Heino]
1.6.0 "Sound Of Thunder"
========================
* The 1.6.0 release has new features and bugfixes
* Build and installation changes
- New/Updated requirements:
+ librep 0.90.0 -> 0.90.4
+ rep-gtk 0.18.4 -> 0.90.0
- Removed requirements: LibAudioFile and ESounD
- Mouse buttons 6 - 9 support is now optional
Support for 6 - 9 mouse buttons is now optional.
X.Org/XFree86 headers only define up to 5 buttons, and we use
a working but somewhat hackish workaround for getting buttons
6 - 9 which is suspected to cause some problems with
modifiers. Support for them is enabled by default. If you
want to disable it, add the following flag to configure:
`--without-nine-mousebuttons'
If you drop it, then you can't use mouse button 8 to, for
example, drag windows.
- Installation directory change
Directory `libexec' is not used anymore for library files
installation. Instead, they go into `lib' by default.
* Incompatible user visible changes:
- Configurator's binary, `sawfish-ui', is renamed to
`sawfish-config' [Christopher Bratusek]
Its window class is changed to `sawfish-configurator' /
`Sawfish-Configurator', too. The lisp module is renamed from
`sawfish.ui' to `sawfish.cfg'.
- Infinite Desktop boundary behavior and option
In `infinite-desktop', the option to specify the boundary
behavior has changed. If `viewport-boundary-mode' is
`dynamic', then you can go as far as you like. Otherwise, it
stops at the workspace boundary of which size is specified by
`viewport-dimensions'. Now the latter is the default. See also
"dynamic viewport" described below.
The previous variable,
`infinite-desktop.stop-at-workspace-borders', which is used
for this purpose, no longer exists.
- User config file changes
In Sawfish < 1.6, `sawfish.wm.defaults' is loaded by default,
only if the `~/.sawfishrc' lacks. Now, it is always read, so
you don't have to `require' it. It sets up GNOME or KDE
support if found running, and does load the error-handling
module.
Since Sawfish 1.5 `~/.sawmillrc' is no longer a valid
configuration- file. From this version on, Sawfish will
rename `~/.sawmillrc' to `~/.sawfishrc', if the former does
exist on your system, but the latter doesn't.
- In configurator, the "Matched Windows" group has been renamed
to "Window Rules"
- Sound support has changed. [Christopher Bratusek]
Sawfish used to rely on ESounD and LibAudioFile to play
sound, but we dropped that. If you want sound, set the
variable `play-sample-program' to the path of the program
capable of playing *.wav file. You can set the variable from
the Configurator, too. By default `paplay' is beeing used.
You can't set any arguments to pass from this variable. If
you want to give arguments or redirect output, write a wrapper
program. (*note FAQ::, "Sound support" section.)
- GNOME integration updates [Christopher Bratusek]
GNOME support is trimmed down. All we offer now is as follows:
If GNOME runs, in `session' submenu under Sawfish root menu,
logout and shutdown from GNOME are added. Don't remove `quit'
and `restart' from menu now. GNOME help is available in menu.
Unless set by user, gnome-terminal.wrapper and
gnome-www-browser are used for user options `xterm-program'
and `browser-program'.
Most of dropped GNOME integrationcode is ancient, mainly for
1.x and early 2.x. Files `lisp/sawfish/wm/commands/gnome.jl'
and `lisp/sawfish/wm/state/gnome.jl' are deleted.
GNOME-Detection has been updated for recent versions. [Alexey
I. Froloff]
- xterm and browser changes
Module `sawfish.wm.commands.xterm' is renamed to
`sawfish.wm.commands.launcher'. Option `xterm-args' is
dropped. If you use it, simply append its value to
`xterm-program'.
Customization-group is changed from `misc' to `External
Applications'.
The functinon `display-url' is renamed to `browser', now
defined in the module cited above. Variable
`display-url-command' is renamed to `browser-program'.
- Sawfish pager
If you've been using Sawfish-pager, then you have to
recompile it, due to library files location change.
- Deletion of `user-level' property
(This affects almost none.) There has been a defcustom
property `user-level'. It has been deprecated for years, and
it's now deleted.
* Bugs fixed:
- Prevents crashes for quick window destructions, especially
under high load
There have been crashes if a window is destroyed soon after
its creation. It happens in `add_window' function, and the
cause is guessed to be garbage collection following window
destruction before the object access.
Now most parts of `add_window' are protected from garbage
collection with `rep_PUSHGC' / `rep_POPGC'. It also prevents
`add_window_hook' from being called with uninitialised
argument. [Timo Korvola, Janek Kozicki]
- Random window disapperance prevention
There're reports of sudden, random window disapperance, under
Xinerama and some other drivers. It is partly prevented, but
not completely, as this may also be caused by other libraries
or buggy video drivers.
Now in error_handler() in src/display.c, when a window sends
request_code 12 (X_ConfigureWindow), don't auto-assume it to
be unmapped. [Janek Kozicki]
- Build and Installation:
+ Library check: Fix in `SMlib' and `libICE' check on
x11r7 [Christopher Bratusek]
+ `.desktop' files fixes: typos fixed and unneeded entries
removal [Christopher Bratusek]
+ In spec file, repexecdir definition is fixed
[Christopher Bratusek]
+ In `po/Makefile.in', a wrong call of make-pot is fixed
[Christopher Bratusek]
+ Always build the FAQ upon make [Christopher Bratusek]
+ Expand REP_ENVIRON in scripts/Makefile.in [Luis Rodrigo
Gallardo Cruz]
+ Add `--tag=CC' to libtool where necessary. It unbrakes
compilation on some arches [Gentoo Linux]
+ Use $prefix/lib instead of $prefix/libexecdir, to
satisfy the FHS [Christopher Bratusek]
- In configurator,
Strings are now fully translatable [Alexey I. Froloff]
SpinButton listens to manual value change. (It's now
connected to the correct signal.) [Christoper Bratusek]
Position parameters can be negative [Christopher Bratusek,
Teika Kazura]
- Fixed Focus issues with KDE4 Menu/Run-Dialog [Timo Korvola]
- Fix cursor-warping in conjuction with Infinite-Desktop
[Jeremy Hankins]
- Fixed group of the stagger options [Christopher Bratusek]
- Fixed a call of `select-workspace-from-first' [Michal Maruška]
- In `Simple' theme, windows are now resizable from the right
border [Christopher Bratusek]
- Missing exports are now supplied, for shrink-yank functions
and `send-to-workspace'. [Christopher Bratusek]
- Commands `maximize-window-fullscreen' and
`maximize-window-fullxinerame' work. [Teika kazura]
- Variable `this-command' is `nil' outside of command call.
- Customization option `uniconify-to-current-viewport' has been
undeprecated. [Teika kazura]
* New features:
- New application menu [Matthew Love, Timo Korvola]
Sawfish now generates application menu automatically, by
reading `/usr/share/applications/*.desktop' files. If you
manually set `apps-menu', then it won't be. If you like to
have both your own applications menu and auto the generated
one, then refer back to `user-apps-menu' rather than
`apps-menu'. In addition you can use the variable
`desktop-directory' to specify a different directory to look
for *.desktop files, or a set of directories, if desired.
Root, and Window-Operations menus are revamped, too.
[Christopher Bratusek]
- Added options to change the font color of window title,
independent of the theme in use [Matthew Love, Christopher
Bratusek, Timo Korvola]
Internally, a new function `remove-frame-part-value' which
allows to change/remove values from frame-parts is used.
[Timo Korvola]
- Sawfish does now support theme-tarballs compressed with XZ
(aka LZMA2) and LZMA [Christopher Bratusek]
- Xinerama support for Grow/Pack [Nolan Leake]
Make grow/pack Xinerama aware. The support still remains
basic, as shrink/yank still lacks it.
- Window rules can be set by lisp
Window rules (former "matched windows") can easily be set from
configurator, but it can now be set by lisp, too, with
`add-window-matcher' function. For the details, *Note Window
Rules by Matching::. An example usage is like this:
(add-window-matcher '((WM_NAME . "^root$")
(WM_CLASS . "^XTerm/xterm$"))
'((ignore-program-position . t)
(maximize . vertical)))
In fact, this function has already existed, but now it can
now specify both windowname and -class, also the grammar has
changed. The old syntax is still allowed, but deprecated.
- Keymap translation [Scott Scriven]
Sawfish can "translate" keymaps for each window. Suppose you
have the following lines in your `~/.sawfish/rc':
(add-window-matcher
'((WM_NAME . "^Terminal$"))
'(keymap-trans . (("C-n" "C-S-t")
("C-w" "C-S-w"))))
Then, when you press `C-n', any windows with name "Terminal"
receive `C-S-t', and so on.
This is part of window rules, but it cannot be exposed in the
configurator yet.
- New window rules
+ Maximizations `fullscreen' and `full-xinerama' are
available now (*note Maximizing Without Borders::)
[Jeremy Hankins]
+ Window position can also be specified by the direction,
like north or east, instead of the coordinates. [Jeremy
Hankins]
+ New window rules `new-workspace' and `new-viewport',
which place a window on the first empty Workspace or
Viewport (if there's none, one will be generated), have
been introduced [Jeremy Hankins]
If `new-workspace' is chosen, then the window is put in
an empty workspace, or a new workspace is created if
none. A workspace with sticky windows only are
considered empty. `new-viewport' is the same but an
empty viewport is chosen. If none is, the workspace is
enlarged, and the window is put in a new viewport.
+ `window-name' can change the window's name. [Christopher
Bratusek]
- New commands [Christopher Bratusek]
5 new move-cursor commands, 4 diagonals and 1 to center.
(*note Pointer Functions::
Three window manipulation commands, `double-window-size',
`halve-window-size', and `move-window-center'. The former
two are based on the `resize-by-factor' metafunction.
`browser' invokes a browser instance.
- New functions `rename-window' changes the window name. [from
"mmc" fork, Christopher Bratusek]
In practice, it works, but technically speaking, the window
name is not supposed to be changed in ICCCM, by the
Window-Manager.
`viewport-windows' returns windows in a viewport. [Jeremy
Hankins]
`get-window-by-class' and `get-window-by-class-re'
[Christopher Bratusek]
- Dynamic Viewport-Boundary-Mode [Jeremy Hankins]
When you set `viewport-boundary-mode' to `dynamic', then the
workspace grows and shrinks dynamically so that it contains
all windows and the current viewport. For the details, *Note
Dynamic Viewport::.
- KDE4 integration module [Christopher Bratusek]
KDE4 is automatically detected. KDE help, and KDE logout,
shutdown, and reboot are provided in the menu. In KDE4 WM
Selector, Sawfish is added.
Unless set by user, konsole and konqueror are used for user
options `xterm-program' and `browser-program'.
- Poweroff from menu
Added poweroff commands in menu for non KDE/GNOME users.
There are reboot, halt, suspend and hibernate. The used shell
commands can be set from configurator, under "Misc" ->
"External Applications". If you don't want it, set
`want-poweroff-menu' to nil.
User needs the appropriate privilege. For a way to do so, see
*Note FAQ::, "Shutdown privilege" section.
Reboot and halt call `before-exit-hook' and do
`delete-window' to each window before actually rebooting or
halting, to ensure everything is fine on the next startup.
- New Frame Classes [Christopher Bratusek]
A "frame class" defines frame component and are used by
themers to add buttons or frames to their theme in charge.
There are no user visible changes.
+ `sticky-button', a button to toggle window `sticky' or
`viewport-sticky'
+ `lock-button', a button to toggle window position `fixed'
+ `rename-button', a button to rename the window-title and
window-icon properties (not ICCCM compliant)
+ `move-resize-button', a button to perform various move
and resize actions on a window
+ `raise-lower-button', a button to perform various
raising and lowering actions on a window
* Widget Transistion [Christopher Bratusek]
- Custom make-url-widget replaced by GtkLinkButton
- Custom about-dialog replaced by GtkAboutDialog
- GtkButton + GtkPreview + GtkColorSelection trio replaced by
single GtkColorButton
* Other Changes:
- Startup window placement improvement [Jeremy Hankins]
At Sawfish startup including restart, maximized windows and
position specified windows used to mess up viewport, appearing
in wrong viewports. It's fixed now.
- Renamed `after-add-window' to `maxmize-after-add-window'
This function is only used in a hook [Teika Kazura]
- Don't let `cycle-class' and `cycle-class-backwards' ignore
WINDOW-ORDER [Daniel M. German]
- Docks/panels are unframed, and window type is set to `dock'
by default [Timo Korvola]
- You can exit from sawfish-client with `,quit' (also `C-d'),
unlike `C-c' it won't kill the WM [Teika Kazura, Timo Korvola]
- Number widget (GtkSpinButton) can take optional initial value
[Teika Kazura]
- Changing `raise-tabs-on-hover' takes effect immediately now
[Christopher Bratusek]
- Inactive windows in Crux theme do now have black text for
better readability [Christopher Bratusek]
- With new option `customize-redirect', configurator's output
can be redirected. [Teika Kazura]
- Grow/Pack and Shrink/Yank options are in the same group now
[Christopher Bratusek]
These commands are now available from window operation menu,
too.
- When moving a window the cursor shape is now `hand2', when
resizing `crosshair' [Christopher Bratusek]
- In the theme document in the configurator, the cursor is
invisible and the wrap mode is set to word-char [Christopher
Bratusek]

*** Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1:
Wed Mar 11 15:41:02 GMT 2009 Ciaran Anscomb <evilwm@6809.org.uk>
* XFlush() shouldn't be required in interruptibleXNextEvent()
Thu Nov 20 11:17:07 GMT 2008 Larry Doolittle <>
* Fix interaction with X and signal handler
Larry Doolittle encountered a problem with the signal handler's
interaction with later versions of X.org and submitted this patch. It
adds an interruptible version of XNextEvent() borrowed from the Blender
source code (copyright Mark J. Kilgard) that allows a more graceful
exit from the main event loop rather than getting the signal handler to
do it.
(missed those and *emacs* the first time round because they pull
in their png dependencies via default-on options; they were included
in the test bulk build though)
3.4.11.2:
* Updated Estonian and Portuguese translations.
* Fix a rare crash involving moving fullscreen windows to different monitors
* Fix a more common crash involving pressing right in a menu

they apply to with "PrintInfo Bindings".
3.4.11.1:
* Updated Polish translation.
* Fixed bug #4519 (Incorrect focus in reused windows).
* Lower the default submenu open/hide delay from 200ms to 100ms.

* Update Clearlooks theme.
* Some other small fixes.

3.4.11:
* Update Hungarian, Japanese, and Latvian translations.

stdout).
* Fix bug #4492 (Mistake in openbox-gnome-session check while setting up).

3.4.10:
* Improve keyboard navigation in Openbox menus.

* Use a negative value for submenuShowDelay and submenuHideDelay to
cause an infinite delay. This means you have to click to show a
submenu, rather than just hover over it.
* Improved code for submenu show/hide delay. Added the submenuHideDelay
config file option, under the "menu" section.
* Fixed bug #4464 (Typo in openbox-gnome-session script).

them to the monitor where the mouse is.
* Fixed bug #4023 (Allow the user to have multiple keys which perform the
same function in Openbox menus/move/resize. E.g. two keys which are
both bound to Escape.
* Add a new obprop tool, which can be used to read the _OB_ROLE,
_OB_NAME, and _OB_CLASS (as well as any other UTF-8 window properties)
off of a window.
* Add _OB_ROLE, _OB_NAME, and _OB_CLASS hints on each window that show
the respective values for use in the rc.xml applications section, to
modify the window when it appears.
* Improve Openbox interoperability with gnome-session >= 2.24.
* Fixed bug #4040 (Remove desktop hints set by gdm in the openbox-session
scripts, so that Openbox can set the number of desktops (assuming
gnome-settings-daemon doesn't first)).
* Fix a bug in xdg-autostart preventing some .desktop files from working.
* Show the desktop pager popup on the primary monitor instead of on all
monitors.
* Add a new primaryMonitor config option, which is where Openbox popups

* Fixed bug #4253 (Support for Solaris in openbox-session scripts).
* Fixed bug #3851 (Allow transient windows to be above helper windows).
Window flickering on tag switches caused by maps/unmaps was mostly
fixed. A bug in infloating layout that caused explicit CPU usage
on multi-head machines was fixed. Focus issues with toggleview were
resolved, and panels are now handled much better then before.
3.4.8:
* Updated translations: Slovak.
* Allow windows to change their decorations at any time (Fix for
Google Chrome).
* Make openbox-session to respect the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable.
* Fixed bug #4344 where borders were given to windows that should not have
them.
* Merge the SessionLogout and Exit actions. They now test if connected to a
session manager and ask it to exit if so, or simply kill Openbox if not.
* Further tweaks to the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message handling. Use the same
logic for focus-stealing as is used when mapping a new window.
* Don't go out of our way any more to prevent focus from moving while the
keyboard is grabbed.
* Fix openbox-gnome-session when using gnome-session > 2.22.
- Pull in upstream's 59eb52b7c6ccbe83742e5eb8b40b5e32bb6600cc, which
prevents windows from jumping to the current workspace when a
net_active_window message is received.
- Change an entry in the default menu file to use the Exit action instead
of SessionLogout, so as to not violate the POLA.
Based on PR 42188 by Alexander Polakov.
echinus is a dynamic window manager for X11 supporting managing window
s in floating, tiled and maximized layouts based on dwm. All the
configuration is made via config file in Xresources format, so it is
not necessary to recompile echinus every time you change something.
echinus supports a small subset of EWMH to be compatible with external
panels and pagers. It draws a border around windows and also an
optional title bar. The goal of development is a small, fast
window manager without features not strictly related to window
management (menus, panels, etc.)
5.7.2 changes:
o another fix for setlayout from Ryan Zheng
5.7.1 changes:
o fixes layout symbol updating mechanism during setlayout
5.7 changes:
o code cleanups and several minor improvements

o new updategeom() algorithm rewritten from scratch
* New features:
- New differentiated options for SnapAttraction when snapping
against screen edges:
"None", "ScreenWindows", "ScreenIcons", "ScreenAll"
- New option to the BugOpts command: TransliterateUtf8.
* Bug fixes:
- Fixed non-visible Qt windows after a Qt deferred map (e.g.
Skype profile windows).
- Fixed the use of the X-resource "fvwmstyle".
- Fixed segmentation fault in FvwmEvent when parsing an
undefined event name, or an undefined environment variable
to the RPlayHost option.
- Fixed the events startup, shutdown and unknown in FvwmEvent.
- Fvwm now retains utf8 window names when the WM_NAME changes,
and the utf8 name converted to the default charset match
the old WM_NAME.
- Fixed the options RPlayVolume and RPlayPriority in FvwmEvent.
- Fixed SnapAttraction: Option SameType/Icons/Windows did
falsely not affect conditions of option "Screen" and option
"SameType" snapped falsely icons and windows together.
- Fixed a problem where modules would get incorrect stacking
information if many windows were restacked at the same time.
- Fixed BugOpts parsing of more than one option at a time and
restoring of default value for the last option
in the command line when omitted.
- 64 bit fix for setting EWMH _NET_WM_ICON property on windows.
Julien Danjou (4):
awesome: define SUN_LEN if not already defined
build: use backquote rather then $()
build: check for connect in socket lib
build: use back quote instead of $()

This is mostly a maintenance release compared to 0.4.0. It fixes build
issues when building with _FORTIFY_SOURCE and it includes all the
security patches from Mandriva.
Pkgsrc Changes:
* set LICENSE gnu-gpl-v3
* marked as user-destdir ready.
* add option: mmx and python , fixes PR 41735.
* set selected X's one to default font path.
Shared directories can now be created independently by the pacakges
needing them and will be removed automatically by pkg_delete when empty.
Packages needing empty directories can use the @pkgdir command in PLIST.
Discussed and ok'd in thread starting at
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2009/06/30/msg003546.html
Changes:
o new Xinerama support that creates a view per Xinerama screen.
Focusing different screens works using the mouse or
the new shortcuts Mod1-. and Mod1-, (or Mod1-Shift-, and Mod1-Shift-.
for sending windows to next/prev screen).
o Extended Rule structure in config.h with an additional monitor field
(-1 if a client should be assigned to the selected screen, or 0.. for a
specific screen)
o Several bugfixes in the resize handling
* Changes since 1.4.4
- bug fixes to history and xft
* Changes since 1.4.3
- add commands ratinfo, ratrelinfo, banishrel
- add history to input bar when libhistory is not used
- add settings historysize and historycompaction
- new window formatters %p, %M prints the pid of the window and whether its a
maxsize window.

These windows are treated as transients. Some Firefox popup windows
are tagged as dialog windows and should now work with ratpoison as
expected.
- new format character %M
This expands to Maxsize if the window is a maxsize window, nothing if not.
- ratpoison can use xft
If xft is found on your system ratpoison will use it unless explicitely
told not to using --without-xft

Removed FbCommandFactory.cc/hh CommandParser.cc/hh
*07/12/11:
* Added new resize modes for key command StartResizing: NearestEdge,
Left, Right, Top, Bottom (Mark)
Window.cc
* Only allow one menu to be open at a time (Mark)
FbTk/Menu.cc/hh
*07/12/09:
* Added OnTitlebar and Double modifiers to the keys file for clicks on
the titlebar and double clicks, respectively (Mark, thanks Matteo
Galiazzo)
- For example, `OnTitlebar Double Mouse3 :Maximize' will maximize a
window when you double click on the titlebar with the right mouse
button
- Note: if you have commands bound to both a single and double click,
the single click command will still be executed on the first half of
a double click
- Added new key commands ShadeOn and ShadeOff that set whether or not a
window is shaded, rather than toggling the current state
Window.cc Keys.cc/hh FbCommandFactory.cc
*07/11/22:
* Added some new special keys to the keys file: FocusIn, FocusOut,
MouseOver,
MouseOut, ChangeWorkspace (Mark)
- FocusIn/FocusOut correspond to a window gaining or losing focus, e.g.
the
following will raise all xterms when one gains focus:
FocusIn :If {Matches (xterm)} {Raise (xterm)} {}
- MouseOver/MouseOut correspond to the mouse moving over the window or
toolbar (when used with OnToolbar) -- OnDesktop not yet supported,
e.g.
the following will unshade a window when you move your mouse over it
with
alt pressed:
Mod1 MouseOver :If {Matches (shaded=yes)} {Shade} {}
- ChangeWorkspace corresponds to the workspace being changed, e.g. the
following will set a different wallpaper for each workspace:
ChangeWorkspace :Exec fbsetbg ~/.fluxbox/bg$(xprop -root
_NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP | awk '{print $3}').png
Keys.cc Window.cc Screen.cc Toolbar.cc
* Added translations for zh_TW (thanks Wei-Lun Chao)
* Fix division by 0 error when resize increments are set to 0 by an
application, bug #1836182
WinClient.cc
* Added conditional statements to key commands (Mark)
- for example, this will search for an open xterm window, cycle through
them if there are any, or else open one:
Mod4 t :If {Some Matches (xterm)} {NextWindow (xterm)} {Exec xterm}
- the syntax is :If {<test>} {<command if true>} {<command if false>}
- `Matches <pattern>' is currently the only test you can make; when
used
alone, it tests the focused window or the clicked window for OnWindow
mouse events
- there are many ways to combine tests:
- `Some <test>' returns true if any open client matches <test>
- `Every <test>' returns true if every open client matches <test>
- `Not <test>' negates the value of <test>
- `Or {<test>} {<test>} ...' returns true if any of the tests is true
- `And {<test>} {<test>} ...' returns true if all of the tests are
true
- `Xor {<test>} {<test>} ...' returns the boolean xor of the truth
values
FbCommandFactory.cc CurrentWindowCmd.cc/hh WorkspaceCmd.cc/hh
FbTk/Command.hh FbTk/SimpleCommand.hh, added files
FbTk/LogicCommands.cc/hh
*07/11/16:
* Added new key command :Focus [<pattern>] that focuses a window (e.g.,
using OnWindow or specified using a window pattern) (Mark, thanks Tomas
Janousek)
FbCommandFactory.cc
* Using ToggleDecor from Deco=TAB should hide tabs (thanks Tomas
Janousek)
Window.cc
*07/11/12:
* Allow arbitrary window patterns for the iconbar mode (Mark)
- Note: for now, if you match against the current head of a window, it
will
not be updated as expected in the toolbar
ClientPattern.cc/hh FocusControl.cc/hh IconbarTool.cc/hh
FbTk/Subject.cc fluxbox.cc, added FocusableList.cc/hh
*07/11/08:

Window.cc FocusControl.cc
*07/10/24:
* Fixed some gcc 2.96 compile issues ( Henrik )
Layer.hh, MinOverlapPlacement.cc, Workspace.cc
* Introduced (workspacename=...) for pattern matching and changed
(workspace=...) to use the workspace number, indexed from 0 (Mark)
ClientPattern.cc/hh
* Reenabled raising window if window was moved by mouse by 0 pixels
(Mathias)
Window.cc
*07/10/23:
* Adding/removing workspaces wasn't updating menu (Mark)
Screen.cc
* Support remembering maximized, minimized, and fullscreen state (Mark)
- [Maximized] {yes|no|horz|vert}
- [Minimized] {yes|no}
- [Fullscreen] {yes|no}
- also fixed window placement when remembering head but not position
Window.cc/hh Remember.cc/hh Screen.cc/hh Ewmh.cc fluxbox-nls.hh
CurrentWindowCmd.cc
* Allow negated patterns, e.g. (name!=xterm) (Mark)
ClientPattern.cc/hh
*07/10/22:
* Added option "mouse" to client pattern ( Henrik )
This is usefull for xinerama. For example:
Mod1 Tab :NextWindow (head=[mouse])
This will cycle focus through windows that are on the same head as
the mouse pointer.
ClientPattern.cc
* Fixed crash bug at restart. ( Henrik )
Window.cc
* Replaced modKey with new commands StartMoving and StartResizing (Mark)
- your keys file should be updated automatically
- they must be used with a mouse button, or they won't work
- StartResizing takes one or none of the following arguments:
NearestCorner, Center, TopLeft, TopRight, BottomLeft, BottomRight
Window.cc/hh CurrentWindowCmd.cc/hh FbCommandFactory.cc Screen.cc/hh

CurrentWindowCmd.cc/hh
*07/10/13:
* Merged pre-devel branch; see all Changes since 1.0.0 (Mark)
* Updated ru_RU (Thanks Konstantin Shashkin)
* deiconify windows via :Deiconify in reverse order (Mathias)
FbCommands.cc
*07/05/23:
* Added key command :Attach <pattern> which groups all windows matching
the given pattern (Mark)
FbCommandFactory.cc WorkspaceCmd.cc/hh
*07/05/20:
* Added resources session.screen<N>.maxDisable{Move,Resize}: <boolean>,
which
prevent maximized windows from being moved/resized (Mark)
Window.cc Screen.cc/hh nls/fluxbox-nls.hh
*07/05/19:
* Changed behavior of resource session.screen<N>.followModel (Mark)
- now only options are Ignore and Follow, the latter using the setting
in
session.screen<N>.userFollowModel
Window.cc/hh Ewmh.cc Screen.cc/hh
*07/05/16:
* Added new resource session.screen<N>.noFocusWhileTypingDelay: <int>
(Mark)
- specifies a time in milliseconds that new windows should not gain
focus while the user is typing in the focused window
Window.cc/hh Screen.cc/hh
*07/05/13:
* Added new placement policies {Row,Col}MinOverlapPlacement. They behave
the same as {Row,Col}SmartPlacement when the window fits but fall back
on minimizing overlap with other windows instead of CascadePlacement
(Mark)
MinOverlapPlacement.cc/hh ScreenPlacement.cc/hh
*07/04/23:
* Set IconicState on all unmapped clients and unmap clients with frames,
as per ICCCM 4.1.4 (Mark)
Screen.cc Window.cc FocusControl.cc
* Added ClientMenu key command, which pops up a menu of open windows,
based
on a pattern match
- e.g. :ClientMenu (workspace=[current]) (minimized=no)
ClientMenu.cc FbCommands.cc/hh FbCommandFactory.cc
*07/04/11:
* Added resource session.screen<N>.maxIgnoreIncrement: <boolean>, to
disable size checking when maximizing a window (e.g. terminals) (Mark)
- Also added a new configuration submenu for maximize options, to be
filled at a later date
Screen.cc/hh Window.cc
*07/04/08:
* Added OnToolbar modifier to keys file (Mark)
Keys.cc/hh Toolbar.cc/hh Screen.cc/hh IconbarTool.cc fluxbox.cc
*07/04/06:
* More changes to theme handling (Mark)
- introduced window.label.(un)focused.{justify,border{Color,Width}},
which fallback to window.label.{justify,border{Color,Width}} before
window.{justify,border{Color,Width}}
- this has the backwards-incompatible effect that
toolbar.iconbar.(un)focused.* fallback first to toolbar.iconbar.* and
then to window.label.*
FbWinFrame.cc/hh IconbarTool.cc/hh IconButton.cc/hh IconbarTheme.cc
FbWinFrameTheme.cc/hh
*07/04/03:
* Added window.label.(un)focused.font to styles (Mark)
FbWinFrame.cc
*07/03/31:
* [group] tag in apps file may now have a pattern appended to it, and a
new window will only be automatically attached to the group if the group
matches that pattern -- e.g. [group] (workspace) (shaded=no) will only
automatically group with windows on the current workspace that are not
shaded (Mark)
Remember.cc/hh
* Lots of window commands now take a client pattern as an additional
argument, and the command will then be applied to all matching windows
(Mark)
- For example: `SendToWorkspace 2 (xterm)' will send all xterm windows
to workspace 2
- Here is the full list of affected commands (which is not to imply they
all necessarily make sense to do): Fullscreen, Minimize, Maximize,
MaximizeVertical, MaximizeHorizontal, SetAlpha, Resize, ResizeTo,
ResizeHorizontal, ResizeVertical, MoveTo, Move, MoveRight, MoveLeft,
MoveUp, MoveDown, Raise, RaiseLayer, Lower, LowerLayer, Close, Kill,
Shade, Stick, ToggleDecor, SetHead, Tab, SendToNextWorkspace,
SendToPrevWorkspace, TakeToNextWorkspace, TakeToPrevWorkspace,
SendToWorkspace, TakeToWorkspace, NextTab, PrevTab, MoveTabLeft,
MoveTabRight, DetachClient
WorkspaceCmd.cc/hh CurrentWindowCmd.cc/hh FbCommandFactory.cc
*07/03/30:
* Changed syntax for window cycling (Mark)
- Instead of a bitmask, the window cycling functions NextWindow,
PrevWindow, TypeAheadFocus, and GoToWindow now take a list of options
enclosed in {} followed by a pattern similar to those used in the
apps
file.
- Examples:
* NextWindow {static groups} (shaded=yes) (name=xterm)
- cycles through all shaded xterms in creation order, only
focusing
the active tab in the group
* GoToWindow 3 (title=[current])
- focuses the third client in last-focused order with the same
title
as the currently focused window
- The options are: name, class, title, role, maximized, minimized,
shaded, stuck, focushidden (can't be disabled), iconhidden, workspace
(matches workspace names, not numbers), head (numbers), and layer
(names)
- Parsing is a pain, so you'll have to update your keys file yourself
for now.
*07/03/29:
* Removed groups file; entries will be added to the apps file
automatically (Mark)
* Fixed a problem with programs starting in IconicState (Mark)
*07/03/27:
* Added new resource session.screen<N>.clientMenu.usePixmap that puts the
window's icon in the workspace and icons menus: default true. (Mark)
- For some reason, it doesn't work with un-shaped icons yet, but I've
spent way too many hours already trying to figure out why
* Use IconTitle in iconbar for minimized windows (Mark)
*07/03/25:
* Added new resource session.screen<N>.tabs.usePixmap that puts the
window's
icon in the tab, if available. This is on by default. (Mark)
Window.cc FbWinFrame.cc/hh WinClient.cc Screen.cc/hh
*07/03/24:
* Added new key command GoToWindow (Mark)
- Syntax is GoToWindow <int> [<bitmask>], where the int gives the
position of the desired window with respect to a list of windows,
and the bitmask is the same as for NextWindow. A negative number for
<int> will count back from the end of the list.
- Particularly useful examples are GoToWindow <int> 9 and
GoToWindow <int> 25, which will focus the window at position <int> in
the iconbar modes Workspace and WorkspaceNoIcons, respectively.
* Fixed creation order window cycling with tabbed windows (Mark)
*07/03/21:
* Added new command TypeAheadFocus (Mark)
- syntax is the same as for NextWindow; when you run the command, you
can start typing the title of the window, and it will gain focus;
pressing tab will cycle through all matching entries using the
options specified; when you've found the window you want, just press
return or escape

This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.

Alternatively, the manpage could be installed as wmii.tbl, so man(1) will pipe
it through tbl at runtime, but I don't know how portable this behaviour is.
Bump PKGREVISION.
Scrotwm 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.
Scrotwm 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.
Based on PR 40682 by Guillaume Lasmayous.
* Remove --enable-xinerama trick, it is enabled by default.
Release-0 1 10
The most noticable change in this release is the new default theme. Many thanks
to Adriano Foschi for sharing his great work with us.
As usual we have some bugfixes as listed below. There aren't that many code
changes this time to allow pekwm to stabilise again after the rather unlucky
0.1.9 release.
Bugs fixed
* #129 "can't close or focus by clicking", reported by Marco Londero and fixed
by Claes Nasten
* #131 "Search dialog stops focusing selected client", reported by Krister
Svanlund and Claes Nasten, fixed by Andreas Schlick
* #135 "Offset window placement", reported and fixed by Claes Nasten
* #138 "autogen.sh fails on Fedora 10 and Debian Experimential", fixed by Claes
Nasten
* #141, reported by Daniel Moerner and fixed by Claes Nasten
* #XX, fix theme load regression reported by _FrnchFrgg_ and fixed by Claes
Nasten.
User visible changes
* New default theme
* Rendering of the alpha channel (most notably in menus)
Compatibility fixes
* The loader of xpm images falls back to XParseColor() to allow more than just
the #rrggbb notation.

NEWS pekwm-0.1.9a
=================
alas, we missed two rather critical bugs in the 0.1.9 release. We decided to
make a new release 0.1.9a that fixes the "lower" action and a crash related
to the search dialogue. You can download the release as usual from
http://www.pekwm.org or use git to fetch it.
NEWS pekwm-0.1.9
================
Another maintenance release with both bug fixes and feature
enhancements. For pekwm-0.1.9 both default configuration and the
documentation has been updated to be more useful by default and to
reveal more configuration options, it might be worth having a look at
the default configuration if you upgrade from a previous version.
What also might be worth having a look at is the added contrib folder
with scripts and other useful things that is not included in the "main"
distribution due to dependency issues.
Bugs fixed:
* #13, One-click menu access and selection doesn't work. Add the
following to the Mouse section in the main configuration file to
enable:
Select = "Motion MotionPressed"
Enter = "ButtonPress MotionPressed"
* #20, Search dialog for finding clients. Run ShowSearchDialog and
