New features:
-------------
* New style BackingStoreWindowDefault which is the default
now. Fvwm no longer disables backing store on windows by
default. This may help with some applications that do not redraw
properly.
* Reduced the time in which fvwm attempts to grab the pointer.
Bug fixes:
----------
* Fixed minor problems in popping sub menus up and down.
* Fixed moving windows between pages with the keyboard.
* Fixed the size of the geometry window that was broken sometimes.
* Fixed problem with pointer warping to another screen on a dual
head setup.
* Fixed a problem with the focus in internal Ddd and Netscape
windows.
* Fixed unmanaged window when window was mapped/unmapped/mapped too
fast.
* Fixed MiniScroll's auto repeating in FvwmScript.
* Fixed a crash with the UseStyle style in combination with
HilightBack.
* Fixed excessive redraws of the windows under a window being shaded.
* Fixed a minor memory leak in the Style command.
* Fixed pixmap background of FvwmButtons behind buttons with only
text.
* Fixed a crash in FvwmIconBox when the application provided an
illegal icon.
* Fixed a configure problem with libstroke-0.5.1.
* Fixed bug that sometimes caused unnecessary redraws when a style
was changed.
* Fixed crash when something like "$[$v]" appeared in a command.
* Fixed parsing of conditions with more than one comma.
[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.
evilwm is a minimalist window manager for the X Window System.

guile-1.4), and a new version doesn't seem to forthcoming any time
soon (upstream). Remove the package; we can add an updated version if
it ever appears.
redefines about which buildlink.mk files would care is BUILDLINK_X11_DIR,
which points to the location of the X11R6 hierarchy used during building.
If x11.buildlink.mk isn't included, then BUILDLINK_X11_DIR defaults to
${X11BASE} (set in bsd.pkg.mk), so its value is always safe to use. Remove
the ifdefs surrounding the use of BUILDLINK_X11_DIR in tk/buildlink.mk and
revert changes to move x11.buildlink.mk before the other buildlink.mk files.
use X11_BUILDLINK_MK as a test value. Generally just reordering the
inclusions so that x11.buildlink.mk comes before the other buildlink.mk
files will make everthing work.
in pkg/14135.
Changes: A bunch of i18n improvements, experimental
support for multiple heads, improved response time for menus,
more efficient viewport-switching, and other bug fixes and
improvements.
- Added FVWM2_USE_GTK and FVWM2_USE_RPLAY for those who want FvwmGtk
and audio support.
- Removed dependency on imlib until a better PLIST_SUBST is written.
Changes in stable 2.4.3 (8-Oct-2001)

key bindings as before 2.4.0.
* Fixed WindowList placement with Xinerama.
* Fixed flickering icon titles.
* New X resource fvwmscreen to select the Xinerama screen on which to
place new windows.
* Coordinates of a window during motion are show relative to the
Xinerama screen.
* Some icon placement improvements with Xinerama.
a file named "background.xpm", containing a pixmap called "background",
in the ${HOME}/.wmx/ directory will decorate both the menu background
and the borders.
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.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
to ${X11BASE} in the header and library search paths into references to
${LOCALBASE}/share/x11-links. These packages should now be strongly-
buildlinked regardless of whether xpkgwedge is installed.
Changes well-tested on NetBSD-1.5X/i386 with and without xpkgwedge and
lightly-tested on NetBSD-1.5.1/alpha without xpkgwedge.

such as 1.4.4, without thinking they are alpha release numbers.
New in 1.4-p3:
* Deal with configure.ac as well as configure.in.
* Don't complain if `version.texi' is included in multiple places.

New in 1.4-p1:
* The version numbering system now allows fork identifiers (such as
the p1 in this version of automake).
* Cope gracefully with various versions of libtool which may or may not
require ltconfig, ltcf-c.sh, ltcf-cxx.sh or ltcf-gcj.sh.
* Bugfixes.

This package obsoletes wm/wmx-current, so remove the latter.
BUILDLINK_PREFIX.<pkgname>. This allows buildlink to find X11BASE packages
regardless of whether they were installed before or after xpkgwedge was
installed. Idea by Alistair Crooks <agc@pkgsrc.org>.
Extract from ChangeLog:
o installastheme.pl now uses the first screen depth reported by xdpyinfo
instead of the last; this fixes problems with the look not updating on
XFree86 4.x (allanon)
o removed reference to xiterm from Wharf config file; wharf now tries to
load aterm, and then xterm if that fails (allanon)
o fix to mystyle drawing as applied to empty menu drawing
o removed config reading from the pipe - was causing some compile time
problems and really was never needed.
(1) [ doesn't understand ==; use = instead.
(2) i=${!tmp} is apparently intended to do the equivalent of
eval i=\$$tmp; so use the latter instead.
I don't see how this script ever worked before.
(1) [ doesn't understand ==; use = instead.
(2) (( ... )) isn't valid /bin/sh; use [ ... ] instead.
(3) ${foo:0:4} to get the first 4 letters of ${foo} isn't valid
/bin/sh, so use a loop to remove letters off the end until
only 4 letters remain.
Highlights:
-----------
** A new "Theme" module called FvwmTheme and "colour sets"
including 8 kinds of gradients and pixmap support controlling
the appearance of borders, title bars, frames, 3D shadows,
menus and modules.
** GNOME compliance.
GNOME hints can be turned on and off for individual windows.
** Mouse stroke support.
You will need the libstroke library, found at
http://www.etla.net/~willey/projects/libstroke/
** Much more flexibility and control in menu definition and menu
styles including dynamically generated menus and some menu
generating scripts.
** Almost all commands, including Key, Mouse and Style, take
effect immediately. The Recapture command is no longer needed
to activate most changes.
** The old StaysOnTop style option has been generalised into the
concept of layers. See the fvwm2 man page for details.
** Using Alt-Tab now works exactly like the other one.
** A derived package fvwm-themes standardises FVWM Themes issues.
More info is available at
http://fvwm-themes.sourceforge.net/
** Improved multi head support.

o also set USE_BUILDLINK_ONLY
so remove it from package Makefiles. Also move the inclusion of the
buildlink.mk files to the end of the Makefile to just before bsd.pkg.mk
to ensure that any Makefile settings occur before the buildlink.mk files.
