1.1.2: This bug-fix release corrects two more issues introduced in the xcb port in the 1.1.0 release: false matching of window names when using -name and invalid frees when windows have a _NET_WM_NAME property. It also updates the optional support for the xcb-icccm library to work with the recent xcb-util-wm 0.3.8 release at the expense of dropping support for xcb-util 0.3.7 and older. This support is still only enabled when specifically requested via configure --with-xcb-icccm. 1.1.1: This bug-fix release corrects two issues introduced in the xcb port in the 1.1.0 release: a build issue with the optional support for the xcb-icccm library, and a runtime issue with reporting coordinates for windows extending into the negative parts of the coordinate space. 1.1.0: The major new feature of this release is the rewrite to use libxcb instead of libX11, batching requests for information to reduce waiting on round-trips in gathering the client information from the X server. Testing over a high-latency connection from California to China and back resulted in an improvement from 8 minutes to 45 seconds to output the complete window tree via xwininfo -root -all of a GNOME desktop session with 114 windows. This release thus libxcb to build, (though it still requires some libX11 headers as well). It also requires a minimum xproto version of 7.0.17. Should anyone need to maintain the libX11 version, a 1.0.x branch can be created in git from the 1.0.5 release base as needed. This release also adds support for reporting some EMWH window manager hints, including UTF-8 localized window names from the _NET_WM_NAME property. (This version does not correctly display names for windows with the WM_NAME property set using the COMPOUND_TEXT encoding. Most current desktops & toolkits will set the _NET_WM_NAME, which is used in preference to WM_NAME if it is set.) |
