+ChangeLog from Blackbox (this code's previous project): + +Changes from 0.62.0 to 0.62.1: + - the lock modifier code handles user redefined modifiers better + - check if the locale actually needs multibyte support before using multibyte + functions + - use srcdir in all of the makefiles + - added zh_CN (Chinese) nls support + + +Changes from 0.61.1 to 0.62.0: + - the immorel release + - added the ja_JP nls directory and man pages + - general code touchups + - blackbox-nls.hh is always generated even if --disable-nls is used. + This allows us to not have all of those hideous #ifdef NLS chunks. + Nothing to worry about, if you do not want NLS this does not affect you + - Workspace::placeWindow() cleanups. Also a speed bump from reducing the + use of iterator->current() and changing the delta from 1 to 8 + - cleanups to compile with g++ 3.0 + - make distclean actually removes Translation.m and blackbox-nls.hh. + Also fixed Makefile.am to pass --foreign instead of --gnu when calling + the autotools. + - fixed a desciptor leak in BScreen::parseMenuFile, seems opendir + lacked a matching closedir. + - fix transient window handling code in Workspace::removeWindow() so + transients give focus back to their parents properly. The code originally + handled sloppy focus then transient windows, so we just flopped the + if/elsif. This is immediately noticable with web browsers and their open + location windows. + - plugged a small leak in ~Toolbar + - fixed list::insert so you really can insert at item number 2. While there + I cleaned up the code a bit. + - added decoration to the atom state stored in a window + - fixed a typo in bsetroot.cc: 'on of' -> 'one of'. + - fixed the window menu gets left open when another window button is pressed + issue with a call to windowmenu->hide() in window->maximize() + - applied xOr's patch for decoration handling + - applied xOr's patch for the maximize, shade, unmaximize bug + - applied Kennis' patch for sending incorrect Slit configure notices + - BlackboxWindow's flags have been moved into a flags structure + - applied xOr's patch for border handling + - resizing a window turns off its maximized flag. Before a resized window + thought it was still maximized and maximizing a double action + - BlackboxWindow::withdraw no longet sets the state to Withdrawn. + This confused some X clients. + - updated the manpages and added Dutch NLS support (thanks Wilbert) + - added it_IT nls files, thanks Luca Marrazzo <marra.luca@libero.it> + - the menu file mentioned in the manpage is now based on DEFAULT_MENU + - configure script found basename in -lgen, but did not set HAVE_BASENAME + causing compilation problems on irix and possibly others. Added a call + to AC_DEFINE in AC_CHECK_LIB to fix this. + - menu is no longer installed, you need to copy it yourself + - cleaned up i18n code a little. Several member functions were declared + but never used and getMessage() had a default argument which was also + never used. + - i18n will now compile cleanly on machines without nl_types.h + - the lock modifiers no longer stop blackbox! + - maximize a window via bbkeys and the maximize button is not redrawn, fixed + - now exit with an error code if an unknown option is passed + - autoraise and multiple dialog windows yields segv bug fixed + also lengthened the default auto raise delay from 250 to 400 + - another iteration of autoraise and dialog box handling, this time we + noticed that nothing ever reset blackbox.focused_window to 0 when a window + was removed + - check if the window is visible before changeBlackboxHints() calls maximize + - placeWindow no longer takes edgeSnapThreshhold into account + - ignore style files ending in ~ + - support locale specifiers with @euro in them + - added Slovenian man pages and nls, thanks Ales Kosir + - Toolbar name editing buffer reduced to 128 chars, logic added to make sure + this buffer is not overrun + - added German nls files, thanks Jan Schaumann + - added my name to the code, updated the version output + + +Changes from 0.61.0 to 0.61.1: + - fixed some of the code to explicitly use colormaps so that when + blackbox decides to use a non-default visual everything will + still work (although it may look darn ugly) + - optimizations to the deiconify/raising code to (hopefully) deal + with a rather nasty bug, plus make things a little more efficient + - changed the code so that the close button is always redrawn on + button release events, just in case the client decides not to + close in response to the message (see Acroread) + - tinkered with the Makefiles again to make sure Blackbox + completely cleans up after itself during an uninstall + - fixed a glitch in window placement that was making Blackbox + place some larger windows at coordinates near 2**31 + - merged in a patch from nyz which fixed a bug with not sending + configure events when a window is both moved and resized (eg + when the left resize grip is used) as well as optimized some + of the show/hide code to use the stacking order + - fixed a bug in blackbox's support of the X shape extension... + it wasn't correctly resetting the bounding region after a window + was resized + - fixed a glitch with the geometry window where it would persist + if the client was unmapped while in motion + - tweaked the code for decorating transient windows so that it + is possible to use MOD1+Mouse3 to resize transients as long as + there is not some other reason to disable functions.resize + + +Changes from 0.60.3 to 0.61.0: + - added slightly updated copies of the blackbox/bsetroot manpages. + - reworked the Windowmenu code so that using the second mouse + button on the Send To menu moves you along with the window + - merged in bsd-snprintf.(h|c) from openssh so that Blackbox can + compile on older boxes without (v)snprintf in their standard lib. + - fixed a pair of problems where blackbox was not returning icons + and slit apps to a useable state at shutdown + - fixed a problem with menus not getting layered correctly after + a reconfigure or menu reload + - changed the behavior of the various MOD1+ButtonPresses on windows... + they should now be more consistent with the button behavior on the + decorations : + . MOD1+Button1 raises and moves the window (unchanged) + . MOD1+Button2 lowers the window (used to resize the window) + . MOD1+Button3 resizes the window (new button combo) + - fixed a small but _extremely_ annoying bug exposed by cvsup + - styled frames are now a thing of the past... the textures formerly + known as window.frame.(un)focus have been replaced by solid colors + window.frame.(un)focusColor... the thickness of the frame is now + determined by frameWidth, which will default to bevelWidth if not + specified + - middle clicking on a window in a workspace's window list now moves + the window to the current workspace + - fixed a minor glitch with the appearance of window labels for + certain newly-started apps (i.e. rxvt) + - added a new configure option for both the toolbar and the slit -- + autohide. Hopefully this should help quell the demands for the + removal of the toolbar... + - added code to better handle apps that change the window focus + - changed the command execution code (used to handle rootCommands + and executable menu items) to be more robust... compound commands + should now work + - a new-and-slightly-improved implementation of unstyled frames should + mean slightly better performance than previously + - fixed a couple of stupid bugs in the new code for handling + Solid Flat textures more efficiently + - fixed the nls makefiles so that they respect DESTDIR, behave better + if you reinstall over an existing installation, and actually remove + their files on a make uninstall + - added cthulhain's bsetbg script to the util directory... see the + file README.bsetbg for more information + - added Estonian, French and Danish translations + + +Changes from 0.60.2 to 0.60.3: + - put in a (temporary?) fix for a bug with the new way icons are + handled. Previously an icon was created only for non-transient + windows, which means that 1) minimized transient windows were + not getting cleaned up at shutdown, and that 2) one could + conceivably lose access to a minimized transient if there were + a break in the transient chain. + + For the time being, every iconified window gets an icon. In + order to make this a little nicer, if a window doesn't provide + an icon title, the window title is used in the icon menu, rather + than 'Unnamed'. + - fixed a bug in handling the destruction of intermediate + transient windows. The code was leaving the transient of a + destroyed window with a reference to the now non-existent + window. This can lead to all sorts of problems. + - fixed a slight positioning error when the slit is on the right + side of the screen + - included a new style, Minimal, which is designed for use on 8-bit + displays. It tries to use a bare minimum of colors, and with the + new code regarding Flat Solid, should consume very little memory. + - made yet another alteration to the way focus changes after a window + closes under ClickToFocus. Blackbox now tracks the stacking order of + all windows and uses this information to give the focus to the topmost + window. + - new configure option : + --enable-styled-frames include support for fully-styled window + frames -- these are the decorations which + are affected by the window.frame* theme + entries. This option is turned on by + default. + + Because of the way they are implemented, + these are typically the most memory and + render intensive of the various blackbox + decorations, even if they are typically + only a pixel or so wide. Disabling this + feature can result in a substantial + decrease in X memory usage, but it's + enabled by default to remain compatible + with previous versions. + + - added a whole mess of logic so that blackbox will use + XSetWindowBackground for Flat Solid textures instead generating + a pixmap (which would be subsequently cached)... should help cut + down some on the X memory usage + - altered the behavior of the BImageControl timer... now it will + fire every cacheLife minutes, regardless of when anything has + been removed from the cache + - modified the NLS build code yet again... at this point we've + hopefully hit the least common denominator and it should work + for everyone + - dealt with a possible problem in the BlackboxWindow constructor + where we referred to a member after deletion + - removed a last lingering bit of the allocate()/deallocate() code + - fixed a pair of string formatting problems + + +Changes from 0.60.1 to 0.60.2: + - updated README.bbtools, since bbpager and bbkeys were updated to work with + 0.60.x (also removed the .diffs from the source tree) + - fix for compiling with NLS support on Solaris + - added Turkish, Russian and Swedish translations + - applied patch for more correct Spanish translations + - added completed pt_BR (Brazillian Porteguese) translation + - removed mem.h and the allocate()/deallocate() calls throughout blackbox + these have been unused for a long time, and needed to go away :) + - compile fixes for --enable-debug + - changed the font loading/drawing code... XFontSets are only used if + the locale is set properly. So you can still compile with nls support, + but do not set your LANG environment variable, and your fonts will be + loaded and drawn the old way + - smarter Basemenu::drawItem() code added, i noticed alot of flicker when + moving menus, because of code constantly redrawing menus items... this + has been significatly modified and sped up quite a bit + - fixed a bug where iconified windows wouldn't remove themselves from the + icon menu when they unmapped/closed themselves (which would result in a + crash if you selected this dead item) + - fixed a potential crash in Workspace::removeWindow() that had relation + to focus last window on workspace... one person experience gibberish being + displayed, another experienced a crash + - fixed a flicker problem when changing focus between windows rapidly + (the toolbar's window label was getting redrawn twice per focus, not + optimum behavior) + - fixed the infamous bsetroot segfault... this was quite a feat... took 3 + people in excess of 8 hours to find... and it was a simple one line change + + +Changes from 0.51.3.1 to 0.60.1: (note: 0.60.1 is 0.60.0 non-alpha) + - changed licensing for Blackbox from GNU GPL to more open BSD license + see the file LICENSE + - removed alot of empty files that did nothing but passify automake/autoconf + Blackbox now passes --foreign to automake to lessen the requirements for + files like NEWS,AUTHORS,COPYING,README,etc. + - new configure options: + --enable-ordered-pseudo this enables a new algorithm for dithering + on pseudocolor (8 bit) displays... a noticable + pattern is visible when using this. you may or + may not like it... just something different + if you want it, but is turned off by default. + + --enable-debug turn on verbose debugging output... this + isn't very complete or really very helpful... + right now it just describes memory usage and + tracks a few X event handlers... this is turned + off by default + + --enable-nls turn on natural language support... this option + will turn on the use of catgets(3) to read + native language text from any of the supported + locales (see the nls/ directory for current + translations)... + + This option also turns on the use of XFontSets, + which allows the display of multibyte + characters, like Japanese or Korean. + This option is turned on by default. + + --enable-timed-cache turn on/off the new timed pixmap cache... this + differs from the old pixmap cache in that + instead of releasing unused pixmaps + immediately, it waits for <X> minutes, where + <X> is set with session.cacheLife in your + ~/.blackboxrc... this option is turned on + by default. + + - changed the default menu to include a listing of workspaces (and their + window lists) and the new configuration menu (see below) + - included new default styles, contributed by regulars on + irc.openproject.net's #blackbox + - generated default "translation" catalog for the C/POSIX locale... the + same catalog is used for English (en_US for now, will add others + as necessary) + - included translation for Spanish (es_ES) and Brazilian + Portuguese (pt_BR)... if you are interested in doing a + translation, email me at blackbox@alug.org + - properties and hints added for communication with bbpager and bbkeys, the + two most common "blackbox addons" + - KDE 1.x support has been completely removed, pending approval of the new + window manager specification to be used by KDE2 and GNOME + - a (broken!) base for the new window manager spec was put in place, but + using --enable-newspec will result in code that will not compile + - added a timer class to handle internal timeouts without using + getitimer/setitimer/SIGARLM... this will enable other things to be done, + as any number of timers with any timeout can be used + - Blackbox will search for the highest depth supported by each visual on + each screen... basically this means that blackbox will try to use + TrueColor if a TrueColor visual exists (but it's not the default visual) + - menu hilite changed from being just a color to being a texture and new + window decoration layout... as a result the style file syntax has changed, + old styles for 0.5x.x will not work. See the included styles for examples, + and browse by http://bb.themes.org/ + - added support for enabled/disabled and selectable menuitems, this is for + use in the configmenu mostly (but is used in the windowmenu) + - added the Configmenu, which is insertable into your menu by using: + + [config] (Catchy Label) + + changes made in the configmenu take effect immediately, and are saved in + your ~/.blackbxrc... current tunable settings: + + Focus model + Window placement + Image dithering + Opaque window moving + Full Maximization + Focus New Windows + Focus Last Window on Workspace + + the window placement and focus model options will be discussed below + - added texture type "ParentRelative" which causes the decoration to display + the contents of it's parent... this is a sort of pseudo-transparent option + and doesn't work for all decorations... see the included style named + "Operation" for an example of ParentRelative + - added support for solid interlacing... for example: + + toolbar: raised interlaced solid bevel1 + toolbar.color: grey + toolbar.colorTo: darkgrey + + will cause the toolbar base to be draw with solid lines, one line grey, + the next darkgrey, the next grey, the next darkgrey, ... + - changed dithering algorithm for TrueColor displays from Floyd-Steinberg to + an ordered dither... dithering at 8bpp (Pseudocolor) can be either FS or + ordered, but must be selected at compile time... + + NOTE: when using ordered pseudocolor (8bpp) dithering, your + session.colorsPerChannel ***MUST*** be 4, otherwise your display will + not display *any* correct colors + - fixed TrueColor rendering to do aligned writes (suppresses warnings on + Alpha Linux machines) + - added support for GrayScale/StaticGray displays (completely untested) + - made linked lists smarter, they can now have as many iterators assigned to + them as you want... no more FATAL errors + - added the Netizen class, which is a client that has + _BLACKBOX_STRUCTURE_MESSAGES listed in their WM_PROTOCOLS... these clients + get notified of window add, remove, focus, shade, iconify, maximize, + resize, etc. + + the two most common Netizens are bbpager and bbkeys + - when loading an incomplete style, blackbox now uses default colors to + draw decorations (instead of the annoying "see-through" effect) + - added menu tag [config]... which inserts the Configmenu into your rootmenu + - made [include] handling smarter, it will only read regular files (it + won't read a directory in case you ever accidentally put one there) + - the slit and toolbar menus now include a placement option, which will place + them in various positions on the screen + - included a slit menu option to choose it's direction (horizontal or + vertical) + - added options to the slit and toolbar menus to have them always stacked + above other windows + - right clicking on the workspace label no longer initiates a workspacename + edit... right clicking anywhere on the toolbar brings up the toolbar menu, + which has an entry that lets you change the workspace name + - iconified windows no longer show up in the window list for the current + workspace... just in the icon submenu + - ClickToFocus now works like one would think, clicking anywhere in a window + will focus it + - overall... this version of blackbox has and does alot more than previously + just take it for a test drive and see how well you like it + + +Changes from 0.50.5 to 0.51.0: + - new default theme, shows off new gradients (see below) + - many themes updated to show off new menu bullet configuration + - added new source file Display.cc... it offers an easy way to connect to + an X display and setup screen info, this was done to make life easier + for John Kennis, the author of the bbtools. Image.cc and Image.hh have + been modified to use classes from this abstraction, so that drop in + replacements are all that is necessary to update the bbtools image code. + - configurable menu bullet... 2 new resources for in your style file: + + menu.bulletStyle: (round|triangle|square|diamond|empty) + menu.bulletPosition: (left|right) + + - new style resource for setting the borderWidth on menus, client windows and + the buttons/frame/handle/titlebar... the default theme uses a borderWidth + of zero... it's pretty neat + - udpated Image code... blackbox now supports 8 types of gradients (thanks + to mosfet@kde.org... in exchange for helping him get the diagonal gradient + code from blackbox into kde, kde gave me the source to their new gradients) + the 8 gradients are: + + diagonal, vertical, horizontal, crossdiagonal, pipecross, elliptic, + pyramid, rectangle + + use them just like you would normally (ie. raised elliptic gradient bevel1) + - merged John Kennis' patch for notifying KDE modules of windows that are + raised/lowered/activated(focused) + - new geometry window that is displayed when a window is moved/resized + - cleaned up code for detecting slit apps + - window stacking code changed to keep menus above windows, and to keep the + slit raised when the toolbar is raised + - fixed compiler error from gcc 2.95 about frame.frame in several places + - fixed some bugs with shaped windows that set decorations via MWM hints, + and also fixed bugs with such windows changing their shape + - more complete ICCCM compliance, default window gravity is now NorthWest + instead of Static... + - focus code revamped... window focusing is alot faster and simpler, i + mimicked the way TWM does it's focusing... proved much faster + - the window menu always has "Kill Client" as an option now + - fixed window stacking for windows that have multiple transients (like + netscape) + - smartplacement from 0.50.4 has been reinstated... i quickly grew tired of + waiting on windows to be placed with the old version (if you like the way + 0.50.5 did it... send me an email and i'll consider making it an option) + - added some new signal handling code (using sigaction, if available on your + system)... + - fixed some bugs with KDE support... this makes bbpager behave properly + - workspace editing via the toolbar has been made a little nicer with the + new focus code... right clicking on the workspace label will put you into + edit mode, but no windows can be focused until you leave edit mode... + ALSO... the window that had focus when you entered edit mode will have the + focus returned to it after editing is finished + - added new option to blackbox... -rc <filename> will read <filename> instead + of .blackboxrc for it's base configuration + - the option for opaque window moves has been moved from the stylefile into + .blackboxrc... set the session.opaqueMove: resource to True or False, + depending on what you want + - general namespace cleanups... just stuff to make maintaining the code a + little easier... + - any form of "beta" has been removed from the version number for 0.51.x + i am declaring this series as "stable" so that i can begin a major overhaul + of blackbox, which will be done with John Kennis and Jason Kasper, two + very sharp guys that think the same way i do ;) + + +Changes from 0.50.4. to 0.50.5: + - modified and merged some patches from several contributors. added their + names to AUTHORS + - major documentation updates + - added a few more platform success reports. changed development platform + again :) + - added new texture option: Interlaced... it is an extension to the gradient + texture that looks really neat... it is compiled in by default but may + be removed with --disable-interlace + - let's see... where do i begin... the code for 0.51.x has been GREATLY + enhanced over 0.50.4 (and the stupid little compile error for KDE has been + fixed ;)) Blackbox has undergone major renovation... and i can proudly + say that this release is rock solid. Also, i reinstated ccmalloc's tour + of duty, and spent several days with it stomping memory leaks in blackbox. + i can proudly say that there are no major memory leaks present in 0.51.x + - the toolbar has changed it appearance a little bit... the menu button has + been removed and the labels and buttons are now symmetrically placed on the + toolbar... oh no!? how do you get to your icons/workspaces now? the + middle click patch from Greg Barlow has been modified, enhanced and merged + with 0.51.x... the workspace menu now behaves just like the root menu... + and it can be pinned to the root window (just move it) + - the image code has once again been worked over... this time a local LUG + friend and i have hashed it out many times and into the wee hours of the + morning... this stuff is FAST now... before i added interlacing... we + had doubled the speed of the dgradient function... yes... *doubled* + - the code to generate error tables, color tables and other tables that are + used in image dithering has been rewritten, which severs the last tie to + window maker's wrlib that blackbox had. i now understand why and how all + the code that i "borrowed" works... and it's been improved... because of + this change... dithering is a lot cleaner... and dithering on 8bpp displays + is less grainy and less obtrusive... + - the linked list code has also been rewritten... blackbox has been using + a doubly linked list, and not taking advantage of all the list's + capabilities (because it doesnt need them)... so the linked lists are now + single-link and much quicker at inserting, removing, searching... + - once again... the menu parsing code has been rewritten... this code is + very efficient and very extensible... so extensible infact that after + implementing the current menu syntax... i added a new tag! you can now + insert the workspaces list into your root menu with this: + + [workspaces] (descriptive label) + + - the slit menu is now spacially correct... if you want the slit in the top + right corner of the root menu... click the top right corner of the slit + menu... i think this is a little more user friendly + - window gravity should be better supported now... restarts and what not + shouldn't produce all those one pixel shifts or moves anymore... + - the modifiers for the keygrabs in blackbox are now configurable... + the "keys" are still hard wired (left/right for workspace changing, tab + for window cycling)... but you may now configure which modifiers to use + with the key combos... this introduces two new resources into your + .blackboxrc: + + session.workspaceChangeModifier + + and + + session.windowCycleModifier + + these resources may be set to any combination of the following: + + Control Mod1 Mod2 Mod3 Mod4 Mod5 Lock Shift + + also... for convenience... "Alt" is parsed as "Mod1"... + session.workspaceChangeModifier defaults to "Control" and + session.windowCycleModifier defaults to "Mod1" + - smart placement has been made smarter thanks to Dyon Balding's smarter + placement patch... this patch has been modified from the original slightly + (mostly speed concerns) + - signal handling has been made more robust... this allows it to compile on + more platforms and now prefers to use sigaction() over signal() + - over all... many code clean ups were made and old commented code was + purged... this is a very clean very stable release... enjoy people :) + + +Changes from 0.50.3 to 0.50.4: + - changed some Copyright information to include the current year + - added a number of platforms to the Supported Platforms section of the + README + - added the Slit... the Slit is a window maker dockapp util that lets users + use all of applications with Blackbox, and allows users to easily switch + between Window Maker and Blackbox more easily... it is included by default, + but you can remove it from the source with --disable-slit on your configure + command line + - large Brueghel styles and images removed from the base distribution + - merged a patch from Benjamin Stewart for very robust menu parsing... this + patch allows for parenthesis in menu files, and works well for + automatically generating menus from shellscripts and programs... the menu + syntax has not changed... it just is understood better :) + - added shell style tilde-slash (~/) home directory expansion for the + [include] and [style] tags in menu files + - added some sanity to window position/gravity code to for GTK applications + - added Window Maker style Mod1+MouseButton1+Motion window moving (for those + few braindead apps that like to be positioned where no decorations are + visible) + - added a SIGCHLD handler to clean up processes started by a startup script + that then exec's blackbox (gets rid of all those zombie processes) + - added a new resource to .blackboxrc which tells Blackbox where to put the + Slit... editing your .blackboxrc to change this is discouraged and + discarded, as the Slit has a menu that lets you select where to put it + (click any mouse button on the slit and see for yourself) + - fixed a bug in the workspace renaming feature that ate all Shift keypresses + + +Changes from 0.50.2 to 0.50.3: + - few documentation updates + - fixes to let -lgen actually get linked with the executable (fixes compile + errors on some platforms, most notably, IRIX 6.5) + - a new series of styles has been added to the distribution (this accounts + for the increased size) + - fix to let 16 color servers run blackbox (colormap reduction) + - various bug fixes... numerous strncpy's changed to sprintfs... + - default font set internally to "fixed" (to let it run on servers that don't + have any fonts installed) + - fixed bug to let blackbox remove all but the last workspace (instead of the + last two) + - window gravity offset changes + - the default key grabs have changed... there are now 4: alt-tab, + shift-alt-tab, ctrl-alt-right, ctrl-alt-left... these keys perform + as would be expected + - fixed wire move bug for transient windows + - passified error handing for the main window class + - fixed gravity restore for restart/exit purposes + + +Changes from 0.50.1 to 0.50.2: + - minimal KDE integration (configure/compile time option, turned off by + default). This is unfinished and i can't really say if i ever will finish + it, but there is enough there to integrate the panel and other modules + with Blackbox. + - changed the regexp in building menus to use a comma (,) as the separator, + instead of a period + - various bug fixen (like the one where the window list would stay put after + the workspace menu went away) + - some hacks to improve speed in the LinkedList routines + - new stacking method (to better integrate with the KDE support)... windows + are no longer in different "levels", raising windows brings them ALL the + way to the front (so it's possible to obscure override redirect windows + like image splashes etc.) and lowering throws them ALL the way to the + back (even under kfm's icons)... however, the rootmenu and the toolbar + (if configured to be ontop) will be placed above raised windows + - sticky windows have changed due to the new stack implementation, they can + be anywhere in the stack (and not always ontop or onbottom) + - session.screenNUM.toolbarRaised resource has changed to + session.screenNum.toolbarOnTop + - the workspace label in the toolbar is sized a little more sanely now + (i found that it looks the best when the workspace label width == clock + label width) + - colormap focus now has it's own resource, session.colormapFocusModel, which + is set to "Click" by default, which means you have to click a window's + decorations or the root window to (un)install a colormap... setting this + resource to "FollowsMouse" will work just as it says... the window under + the pointer will have it's colormap installed + + +Changes from 0.50.0 to 0.50.1: + - eliminated the need for XConvertCase... workspace editing should now print + any and all characters correctly + - added check for libgen.h (which provides the prototype for basename() on + some systems, like OpenBSD) + - some code obfuscation (i've been removing comments, as some of them don't + relate to some of the code below them... i plan on recommenting the code + some time soon) + - clicking button 3 will hide ANY menu now, and in the case of the workspace + and or client menus, any other menus and/or buttons associated will be + closed as well + - added a patch for multi-screen which sets the DISPLAY env variable so that + items selected from one screen don't show up on another... many thanks to + F Harvell <fharvell@fts.net> for this + - fixed a clock bug... again thanks to F Harvell for this one + - complete and proper window placement and window restore has been + implemented... windows that are partially off screen will be placed in the + center of the root window + - the toolbar's workspace label is now dynamically sized according to the + length of the workspace names + - as stated above... workspace name editing has been completely redone, i + discovered XLookupString() this weekend and have deemed it the function of + the week... any and all characters should be printed properly now + - window placement now has it's own resource... + session.screen<NUM>.windowPlacement which may be set to SmartPlacement + (which has been implemented) or anything else to default back to cascade + placement + - a new resource, session.screen<NUM>.toolbarWidthPercent has been added, and + should be set to an integer representing what percentage of the root window + width the toolbar should occupy (default has been changed back to 67) + + +Changes from 0.40.14 to 0.50.0: + - added util/ subdirectory to place small, utility programs to use in + conjunction with blackbox. + - updated the README... it's still vague and useless, but gives a better + view of whats going on + - the configure script now checks for a few more headers, setlocale and + strftime in addition to basename functions to better include support for + multiple arch/langs/etc. + - updated default menu file... made it a little more general... and made + the default style menu [include]'d instead of explicitly included... + this break off of the style menu allows for custom menus to include the + default style menu for a create selection of styles + - changed all the default styles to use bsetroot instead of xsetroot + - menu handling has been improved... no more than one menu at a time may be + visible on the desktop (save for the root menu and it's tear off menus) + this means that you can't have multiple window menus and the workspace menu + open all at once... which saves screen space and reduces clutter + - much of the code has been reorganzied and reformatted for better + readability... this consists of function name changes and function + "ownership" (which basically means workspaces aren't managed by the toolbar + itself anymore, but by a general screen class on which the toolbar can + operate) + - the workspacemenu now autohides when selecting a window from one of the + window lists + - removed many empty destructors for Basemenu subclasses to improve code + readability + - two new files, Screen.cc and Screen.hh, have been added to the distribution + they add the new class BScreen which was needed for the biggest change of + the Blackbox code base, the addition of multiple screen (i.e. multihead) + support. A separate BScreen is created for each screen, and all screens + work inconjunction with the other... windows can't be passed between + screens, because the X server doesn't allow this (more investigation on + this later) + - the toolbar's clock format is now controlled by the strftime() function... + if configure can't find this function on your system, the old date/time + format is used... with strftime, clicking on the clock doesn't display the + date... as the date may now be part of the clock display... read the man + page for the strftime function to write a format string for your clock, + and place it in .blackboxrc (i.e. + session.strftimeFormat: %I:%M %p on %a, %b %d is my strftime format + string) + - the toolbar has been stripped of it's workspace responsibilities, but this + change has no effect on the end user. + - common code interspersed through out the code has been consolodated into + small functions and called multiple times instead of having the same or + similar code repeated in the same class + - the window startup code has been improved upon again so that shaded windows + are restored between restarts + - some ICCCM code has been updated to properly reflect the state of windows + while shaded or on different workspaces... this state code change should + also fix the JX toolkit problem of deiconifying and nothing being redrawn + - the main Blackbox class has been changed to purely handle X events... it + doesn't manage resources (save for those necessary for proper event + handling, like the focus model for each screen) + - the format of .blackboxrc has changed slightly, the session.menuFile, + session.doubleClickInterval, session.imageDither, session.styleFile, + and session.colorsPerChannel resources are unchanged. However, the + following resources are screen dependant: + + session.screen<num>.strftimeFormat + session.screen<num>.workspaces + session.screen<num>.workspaceNames + session.screen<num>.toolbarRaised + session.screen<num>.focusModel + + where <num> is the screen number (zero being default and all that would be + present on a single screen/monitor setup). + - a utility named bsetroot (mentioned above) has been included in the + blackbox distribution, to aid in setting root window patterns (ala + xsetroot). the only different between xsetroot and bsetroot is that + bsetroot doesn't redefine cursors, and doesn't restore defaults if no + arguments are given. bsetroot does support multiple screens, and is ideal + for those setups (instead of running xsetroot for each screen) + + +Changes from 0.40.12 to 0.40.13: + - added some compile time parameters to allow for clean compiling + - added support for vertical/horizontal maximization (i did this by + hand, but kudos to John Martin for the idea ;) + - added basename() to the distribution... it will only be compiled in + if basename is not present in standard libraries + - window focus code has changed yet again... i've decided to completely + rewrite the focus handling code, instead of trying to fix it... let + me know how this does + - a new resource has been added to the style loader... a resource of + the form: rootCommand: <shell command string> will execute this + command when the style is loaded, suitable for setting the root + window background to an image/pattern/color... this should make + style integration more seamless + + +Changes from 0.40.11 to 0.40.12: + - more migration to autoconf/automake/autoheader etc. + - changed the default installation prefix... /usr/local is now the + default... all default config files will be stored in + ${prefix}/share/Blackbox... any old files will not be used, and + should be removed + - a small internal rework has made the "Inverted" option for + pressed button textures obsolete... please update your configs + - Makefile.generic has been removed + - Laurie's tear off menu patch has been adapted into the source tree... + sorry Laurie, but i had to rework your patch to make it completely + bullet proof ;) + - rework of Image code... resizes and maximizations should be much + faster now + - existance of XConvertCase is checked by configure... if it is NOT + found, then when editing the workspace name, pressing shift will + not print capital letters... sorry... get an uptodate X distribution + (R6.3 or higher) so that XConvertCase exists... + - the date format on the clock is controlled by a new .blackboxrc + resource... session.dateFormat... accepted values are: + American ( mm/dd/yy ) and + European ( dd.mm.yy ) + the default is american... if any other string is entered for the + resource, blackbox defaults again to american... + - changed some window positioning code so that windows aren't thrown + to the middle of the screen unless they are completely hidden when + shown + - time bugs have been fixed... this is too detailed to go into... so + read the source if you are curious, otherwise just hit Reconfigure + when ever you change the system time, and blackbox will update and + continue to monitor/display the correct time (also... wrt y2k... + blackbox is y2k compliant is your libc's localtime() is y2k + compliant) + - this release has a major internals rework... let me know of any + problems... i would also love to hear about improved/degraded + performance... enjoy people... + + +Changes from 0.40.10 to 0.40.11: + - changed the blackbox distribution to use autoconf instead of + imake... let me know how this works + - removed all the Imakefiles and Imakeconfig in favor of autoconf... + - added necessary files for automake and autoconf + - fixed a bug that would automatically shift focus to the workspace + label after switching to an empty workspace which would edit the + workspace name if pressing ctrl-arrow... + - fixed a bug that wouldn't focus any windows with alt-tab after + switching workspaces + - new feature: click button 1 on the clock to display today's date + releasing the mouse button redraws the current time + - implemented double-click window shading by adapting David Edwards' + <david@dt031n1a.tampabay.rr.com> shade patch + - added new .blackboxrc resource - session.doubleClickInterval - which + controls the time between double clicks... used by the double-click + shade feature... defaults to 250ms is not specified + + +Changes from 0.40.9 to 0.40.10: + - fixed the broken menu highlights - they are now a dot in front of + the menu label + - enhanced the image rendering code to prebuild dithering lookup + tables... this saves some multiply and divide instructions during the + rendering loop... it makes a noticable difference on my lowly p133 ;) + - just for completeness... i've added some error output for various + things that could (but rarely do) go awry + - the focus code has been updated yet again... but this time it's for + the better ;) the ctrl arrow keys continue working after a window + has been closed etc. etc... this should be the final change... unless + i find more bugs in it + + +Changes from 0.40.8 to 0.40.9: + - fixed a menu bug to keep as much of the menu on screen as possible + - added a patch from Peter Kovacs <kovacsp@egr.uri.edu> to raise the + current focused window when the user clicks on the window label on + the toolbar + - changed some window gravity defaults... nothing major here + - focus handling code has been spruced up... and majorly tested... + 0.40.8's focus code was about as good as a full tank of gas but + no corvette... let me know how the focus handles in 0.40.9 + + +Changes from 0.40.7 to 0.40.8: + - more menu fixes... highlights are handled as normal... constant + highlights are draw differently... the rounded edges minus the + highlighted bar... + - hand strength reduction in the BImage::renderXImage() method... + this doesn't offer much of a speed up... but every little bit + counts + - stuck clients that open transients now have their transients stuck + by default + - changed some input focus code to better handle the sloppy focus + model... the little annoyances like two focused windows should now + be fixed... + - removed gcc specific code... changed use of strsep to strtok (which + is defined by ANSI C) + - this is strictly a maintainence release... no new features have + been introduced + + +Changes from 0.40.6 to 0.40.7: + - changed bhughes@arn.net to bhughes@tcac.net throughout the source + tree + - menu sanity fixes... like unmapping a submenu when an item is removed + - image code fixes... no memory is allocated during the rendering... + only when the BImage is created... thanks to lee.salzman@lvdi.net for + the frame work for these changes + - fewer floating point division in gradient rendering routines... again + thanks to lee.salzman@lvdi.net for the basis of these changes + - reading workspace names is now a little more robust, but probably not + bullet proof... events are handled normally while reading the + workspace name... instead of blocking them all... the label changes + color... and reverts back to normal when enter is pressed (which + applies the new workspace name) + - the window geometry label drawn during window resizing has moved to + inside the window frame, this allows us to see what size windows are + being resized to when the right edge is close to the edge of root + - a lock system has been implemented for the blackbox objects... this + fixes a nasty little problem of stale windows (decorations with no + client window) because of on object grabbing the server and another + unlocking it... the current system works similar to XLockDisplay + (which is used in threaded X programs). + - icccm code enhancements for XWMHints and NormalHints + - window maximizing now properly returns the maximized client to its + previous location (this is a bug fix... maximize netscape, then + maximize an xterm... unmaximizing netscape will put it where the + xterm was previously) + + +Changes from 0.40.5 to 0.40.6: + - the workspace and client menus now keep the current workspace and + focus window highlighted so that we know which window is in focus + (especially useful with multiple xterms in the same workspace) + - image dithering code has been updated slightly to hopefully squeeze + every last drop of performance out of it + - pixel computation has been simplified + - gradient code has been changed to use less floating point division + this breaks Jon Denardis' gradient hack, but the option has been + left in place in case Jon wants to re-implement it :) + - more ICCCM compliance code added... window colormap focus has a + click-to-focus policy... any window that wants to use it's own + colormap (i.e. netscape -install) will have it's colormap installed + when button1 is pressed anywhere on the decorations (like when + raising) the default root colormap is reinstalled when pressing + button1 on the root window + - workspace names can now be changed on the fly... they are stored in + the users ~/.blackboxrc file, and may be edited from there, although + any changes made to the file will be over written when blackbox is + shutdown or restarted... + - workspace names can be edited *while blackbox is running* by pressing + button3 on the workspace label on the toolbar... pressing enter ends + the edit and normal event processing resumes... these names are saved + on exit/restart for convienence + - support for window gravity has been added... this is addition is + another step closer to complete ICCCM compliance + - window resizing is a bit more sane now... a bug once pointed out long + ago that i never noticed plagued me the other day... when resizing a + window to a large size... blackbox can delay a bit while it renders + the new decorations... if the user tries to move the window before + these decorations are finished... the window is resized again... this + has been fixed + + +Changes from 0.40.4 to 0.40.5: + - updated the default style to reflect the button resource change in + 0.40.4 + - added internal menu alignment + - added internal linked list insertion at a certain point, used in + menus + - submenus now update their parent menu to reflect that the submenu + is no longer open + - right clicking anywhere on the rootmenu or window menus will now + unmap them... NOTE: this doesn't work on submenus or the rootmenu + or on the SendToWorkspaceMenu + - cleaned up some of the image rendering code to use less comparisons + while rendering an image... also removed alot of + multiplication/division use in beveling loops to increase speed + - changed dithering error distribution to make images smoother at + 15 and 8bpp (8bpp got the most benefit from this change) + - changed the toolbar appearance... removed the raise/lower button, + changing the level of the toolbar isn't possible as of yet... a new + button has been added on the left of the toolbar, pressing it will + map the workspace menu, which has a few changes + - the workspace menu now conatins submenus of all the window lists of + all workspaces... it is now possible to see which window is on which + workspace... also... the icon button has been removed from the + toolbar and the iconmenu is now a submenu of the workspace menu + - window placement has been slightly modified... if clients request a + certain position, the request is honored, otherwise the client is + cascaded... if either the cascade or requested position obscures part + of the window when the window is created, the window is centered in + the root window... + - window state updated... when blackbox is restarted, all client + windows are placed on the workspace they were previously occupying... + this is only between restarts... not when X is restarted... + however... applications may be coded specifically for blackbox to + start on a certain workspace... for more information on this, email + me + - window menu placement has been made a little more sane + + +Changes from 0.40.3 to 0.40.4: + - removed the window.handle{.color,.colorTo} resources... the handle + is now treated as a button, and uses the button resources + - added window.focus.button and window.unfocus.button resources to the + style file... this allows colors to be set different from the + titlebar... the colors are controlled with window.focus.button.color, + window.focus.button.colorTo, window.unfocus.button.color and + window.unfocus.button.colorTo + - transient focus policy has changed... if any window has an open + transient window... focus is awarded to the trasient instead of the + parent window, even if the mouse doesn't occupy the trasient window + - cleaned up some namespace in Basemenu.cc and Basemenu.hh + - changed dithering error diffusion + - fixed Bevel2 so that it doesn't sig11 anymore + - changed stacking code slightly... "stuck" windows now are placed + in relation to the toolbar... i.e. if the toolbar is on top... stuck + windows are on top of any other client windows... if the toolbar + is underneath client windows... stuck windows are also stacked + underneath the client windows + - major reworking of Window.cc and Window.hh to fully support the + _MOTIF_WM_HINTS on client windows... if this hint is present... then + the window is decorated according to those hints... all the move/ + resize/configure code had to be updated because of this... one step + closer to gnome compliance + - window menus now contain different items based on the functions + available to the client window... if a window cannot be maximized... + then no maximize item is present in the window menu... also, "Close" + and "Kill Client" are no longer present at the same time... if the + client supports the WM_DELETE_WINDOW Protocol, then "Close" is + present, "Kill Client" is only present for clients that do not + support the protocol + - windows may now be moved by the titlebar, handle or thin border + around the window... window menus are also accessible by pressing + button 3 on any of these 3 windows + - a new focus model has been added... it works... but is mostly + untested... session.focusModel: AutoRaiseSloppyFocus in .blackboxrc + will retain the sloppy focus model... but raise windows to the + top when focused... + + +Changes from 0.40.2 to 0.40.3: + - fixed a bug in Blackbox::nextFocus that would put blackbox into an + infinite loop when 2 windows where open, window 0 was iconified and + window 1 had focus and pressing alt-tab or the next window button + on the toolbar + - completely recoded all the graphics stuffs to support all visual + classes and color depths, also the image code is more compact and + faster than previous releases + - removed graphics.cc and graphics.hh from the distribution and added + Image.cc and Image.hh for the new graphics implementation. a new + class called BImageControl is now in charge of all pixmap caching + and color allocation on displays that don't run/support TrueColor... + this takes the job away from the Blackbox class... whose job is now + to manage all it's children and disperse events read from the display + - fixed bug that didn't handle windows created before blackbox is + running (again :/) + + +Changes from 0.40.1 to 0.40.2: + - added a variable initialize line of code to keep blackbox from + splattering from a sigsegv on startup + + +Changes from 0.35.0 to 0.40.1: + - cosmetic menu rendering fixes, changed the way the submenu dot is + sized; changed an off by one error in drawing the rounded edges; + fixed the text to be draw in the center of the item instead of at the + bottom + - major changes to the toolbar (formerly the workspace manager) to + change the way it looks and works. The large blank space is gone, + and the toolbar is now half the height it used to be (roughly). the + workspace label displays the current workspace, with the workspace + menu accessible by clicking button 1 on the label. the two buttons + directly to the right of the workspace label change the workspace + when pressed. the window label displays the current focused window, + which makes it easier to identify which window has input focus (for + some people like me that have very dark or very closely colored + decorations). the window menu is accessible by pressing button + one on the window label, and selecting an item from the window menu + will set input focus to that window (if it can receive focus). the + two buttons to the right of the window label circulate focus (up and + down, respectively) through the window list, skipping windows that + cannot receive focus. the icon button displays a menu of all + iconified applications. both the icon menu and the window menu will + not become visible if they are empty. the next button on the toolbar + is a raise/lower button for the workspace manager. the toolbar is + stacked on startup according to the resource set in ~/.blackboxrc, + but this button will raise and lower the workspace to the users + desire, saving the stack order when blackbox is exited or restarted. + the clock is still the same, but editing the session.clockFormat + will change it from normal time (session.clockFormat: 12) to 24hour + format (session.clockFormat: 24) + - a pixmap cache has been implemented. a linked list stores all images + rendered, removing them from the list and freeing them with the X + server when all applications have removed references to them. for + those who start man instances of the same applications will benefit + greatly from this, as the same decorations are not redraw for each + and every window. this greatly reduces the load on the X server + (my X server went from taking 20-28mb of memory to 8-11mb, a dramatic + improvement, especially on this 32mb machine). as a result of this, + reconfiguring is faster, as is startup and restarting. + - click to focus has been implemented, with some restrictions. other + window managers allow the user to click anywhere on the decorations + OR the client itself to set focus. i have not found an elegant way + to do this yet, so focus can only be set by pressing button 1 on + the decorations (like the titlebar, handle, buttons, border, etc.) + just not on the client itself. i am looking more into this, but + don't expect anymore than what is in place now. to use + click-to-focus, put session.focusModel: ClickToFocus in ~/.blackboxrc + - 2 new commands have been added to the menu syntax, [include] and + [style]... the [reconfig] command still has the option to reconfigure + after a command has been run, but probably will be faded out... + [include] (/path/to/file) includes the file inline with the current + menu, meaning that a submenu isnot created for the separate file, + if a submenu is desired, the file should include the [submenu] and + [end] tags explicitly. + [style] is a new addition for the style file support. syntax is: + [style] (label here) {/path/to/style/file} which will read the new + style file and reconfigure when selected. + - style files have been added to allow for easier switching between + configurations. the style file resources are dramtically different + from those in 0.3x.x, see app-defaults/Blackbox-style.ad for an + example... + - with the addition of style files, menus have been given their own + justification resource, allowing (for example) menus to be left + justified while titles are center or right justified. + - please read the sample configuration files in app-defaults/ for the + new and improved configuration system. NOTE: Blackbox.ad is a + sample ~/.blackboxrc, but you shouldn't copy this file to + ~/.blackboxrc, as Blackbox will store the resources it needs + automatically + - an unofficial release numbered 0.40.0 was given out to some + testers, and even this release needs the same treatment as 0.35.0 + with respect to the new config system (0.40.0 only implemented the + pixmap cache, the new toolbar and *part* of the new config system, + but not the style files or automatic generation of ~/.blackboxrc) + + +Changes from 0.34.5 to 0.35.0: + - changed the way menus are draw to round both end of the highlight... + - cosmetic enhancements for the various justifications... + - this is the first stable release of blackbox + + +Changes from 0.34.4 to 0.34.5: + - hopefully... this will be the last bug fix... so i can begin working + on new features... i fixed event mask selection on client windows + after reparenting them to the decoration frame... this should get + xv working again... + - changed the signal hander to core on sigsegv and sigfpe... sigint and + sigterm will just exit blackbox cleanly... sighup will cause blackbox + to reconfigure itself + - changed the way the version string is printed... + + +Changes from 0.34.3 to 0.34.4: + - changed the window stacking code to stack windows and their menus + more sanely... window menus are stacked directly ontop of the client + windows... instead of on top of every other client window... the + workspace manager is now by default stacked above client windows... + - reworked alot of code in Window.cc, blackbox.cc, Workspace.cc and + WorkspaceManager.cc to properly handle ICCCM state hints... the + startup and shutdown code has been completely reworked as a result of + this + +Changes from 0.34.2 to 0.34.3: + - this was a small change in the code... but a BIG change for the user + base... the X error handler is now non fatal... yes... this means if + blackbox encounters an X error (like a bad window or a bad match) it + will fprintf() the error and continue running... the quick window bug + has been mostly fixed... i have a small app that i wrote that quickly + maps a window, calls XSync()... then destroys the window and exits... + the first time i ran this little beauty... blackbox died a horrible + death... blackbox now handles this app nicely... but does + occasionally report an error (during the decoration creation... which + is promptly destroyed from the destroy notify event placed in the + queue by the X server... thus... no memory leaks... no memory + corruption... blackbox just keeps chugging along nicely + + +Changes from 0.34.1 to 0.34.2 (unreleased): + - fixed MSBFirst byte order image rendering at 32bpp (24bpp pending) + (for machines better than this intel machine of mine) + - changed BImage to allocate dithering space when the image is created + and to delete it when the image is destroyed... instead of allocating + the space and deleting the space each time the image is rendered to + an XImage... hopefully this will provide a speed increase (albeit a + small one) + - changed blackbox to call XListPixmapFormats once at startup... + instead of each time an image is rendered... this should afford some + speed increase (a small one at best :) + - fixed a bug in Window.cc that re-reads the window name... + Jon Denardis discovered this bug while playing with netscape 4.5... + the validation call is now directly before the XFetchName call... + instead of before an if() { } block that calls strcmp and XFree() + - edit Window.cc to change the way buttons are decorated and sized + the associatedWindow.button.color(To) resources have been removed, + but the associatedWindow.button texture resource is still there + + +Changes from 0.34.0 to 0.34.1: + - fixed the unmanaged rxvt/xconsole/whatever problem that didn't + decorate windows at start up... just a little logic error that was + fixed with a few braces + - fixed the shutdown code so that X and blackbox don't die a gruesome + death while reparenting the small applets on the workspace manager + toolbar... the above bug fixed also fixed a bug that didn't reparent + any existing app windows... + - updated libBox code to allow for flaws in it's design (forgotten from + 0.34.0) + - removed #include <sys/select.h> from blackbox.cc so that it compiles + on any platform (since select is supposed to be defined in unistd.h) + - removed the NEED_STRNCASECMP block in blackbox.cc until i can get + a working posix like routine to work (needed for OS2 platforms) + - edited the Imakefile scheme to have the the toplevel Imakefile and + Imakefiles in app-defaults/ lib/ and src/... there now is Imakeconfig + which includes all the options in one file... so that editing all + the Imakefiles is no longer necessary + + +Changes from 0.33.6 to 0.34.0: + - edited some Imakefiles so that rpm creaters have an easier time + - added stuff to lib/ which contains a small (VERY small) library for + letting applications open a window on the workspace manager toolbar + this is very very new... restarting will cause the app to crash + (at best) or take X with it (the worst)... play with it an let me + know how it works + - further revised window.cc and blackbox.cc to provide better error + checking... window.cc received the most updates... validating a + window is now done in the statement before the window is used... not + at the beginning of the function the window is used in... + - fixed the stacking order bug when changing workspaces... the windows + will now be restored in the order that you left them... not in the + order they were created in... + - updated the README... a little bit anyway :) + - updated BlackboxWindow::maximizeWindow() in window.cc to properly + maximize windows that have specified size increments + - fixed BlackboxWindow::configureWindow so that shaded windows that re + size themselves only resize the titlebar + - added ccmalloc 0.2.3 to the main source tree to aid in debugging... + this is NOT maintained by myself, see the source tree for details + - eliminated a double delete call with the aid of ccmalloc!@#! + + +Changes from 0.33.5 to 0.33.6: + - added Makefile.generic for those of you with foobared imake configs. + the use of xmkmf -a (i.e. imake) is still prefered... but this should + work on any system... with a little editing + - added static int handleXErrors(Display *, XErrorEvent *) in + blackbox.cc to handle any and all X lib errors while blackbox is + running... this should produce a coredump and thus the -moron + community should be able to flood my inbox with stack trace upon + stack trace :) + - added some sub directories and moved the sources around, this allows + for easier inclusion of the library for blackbox specific programs + (which will run in the dock) + - hopefully fixed the "disappearing-rxvt-trick"... since i can't + reproduce it i don't know for sure + - removed the use of alloca in graphics.cc... i was noticing very odd + behaviour from malloc() and free()... where blackbox would sig11 + when exiting because of XCloseDisplay doing something naughty... + and this seems to have done the trick... no more sig11's from malloc + or new... everything i've thrown at blackbox is gently but firmly + beaten into submission... + - added docboy's curved gradient hack as a compile time option... see + src/Imakefile and src/graphics.cc + + +Changes from 0.33.4 to 0.33.5: + - added a small test to cascade windows that start out partially hidden + (like netscape, Xnest, xv, etc.) + - changed icon handling to include a menu of icons accessible from the + workspace manager toolbar + - deiconifying a window now takes it to the top of the stack + - clicking on a menuitem that has a submenu no longer hides the submenu + - added resource "workspaceManager.24hourClock", a value of True turns + on the 24hour clock on the toolbar + - removed icon pixmap/window/mask support/handling from window.cc and + window.hh... since icons are now handled in a menu, this is no + longer needed + - added session.handleWidth and session.bevelWidth + to control window sizes (instead of hardcoded defaults) + - changed parts of Basemenu.cc and WorkspaceManager.cc to follow the + sizes set by session.bevelWidth + - fixed Alt-Tab window switching... also fixed some focus handling bugs + which let two windows become focused at the same time (which is bad + mojo) + + +Changes from 0.33.3 to 0.33.4: + - corrected a typo in the sample Blackbox.ad file to correctly show + which resource to set for the menu file + - added moderate window group support for programs like netscape and + other motif applications... modified window stacking code and + internal list code to support window groups (this makes transients + behave properly... another step towards more complete ICCCM + compliance) + - modified focus event handlers to stop applications from focusing out + when pressing menubars... also window focus is returned to root if + the focus window is closed... if another window is under the focus + window when it is closed... that window is awarded input focus + - fixed tiny little bug that didn't move the close button when resizing + a window + + +Changes from 0.33.2 to 0.33.3: + - changed some of the menu code ("updated" in 0.33.1) back to the + original 0.33.0, which seems to perform better. Reason behind it? - + blackbox died too often with 0.33.1/2 + - added "Kill Client" option to window menus... for those applications + that don't accept the WM_DELETE_WINDOW atom + - menus that are not partially moved off the root window are shifted to + a visible position when the pointer enters the frame... it is also + shifted back to it's original position when left (this is new... let + me know how it works) + + +Changes from 0.33.1 to 0.33.2: (unreleased) + - changed BlackboxIcon to not try and read its config when it was + created. This was forgotten from the 0.31.0 -> 0.33.0 move :/ + + +Changes from 0.33.0 to 0.33.1: (unreleased) + - improved menu handling, less possibilty for SIGSEGV + - menus now make copies of all label, exec strings and titles, to + make less loose pointers + - fixed typo to allow submenus of submenus of submenus (...) + - fixed workspace menu and window list menu placements + + +Changes from 0.31.0 to 0.33.0: + - added #ifdef statements so the C preprocessor doesn't complain about + _GNU_SOURCE being redefined. + - changed internal resource data structures + - added Sticky windows functionality + - remove old animation code bound with #ifdef ANIMATIONS + - fixed a silly little bug that sometimes mapped a submenu when its + parent was unmapping itself + - added ExecReconfigure option to execute a shell statement before + performing reconfiguration + - rearranged window config code to reduce wait time while resizing + - added internal macro BImageNoDitherSolid to make window frame + rendering faster (dithering a solid image is silly anyway) + - added new menu file format + - added Blackbox::validateWindow to provide a stabler environment for + Blackbox. This gives blackbox more error checking and greater + stability. For me, random crashes have (nearly) disappeared. + - removed window name/class dependant frame texture/color + - with 0.31.0, each entity read it's configuration from the rc database + loaded at start. this has changed back to the old behaviour of + reading all configuration parameters at start, no database reads are + performed after the initial setup (save for reconfiguring). + - configuration has changed to be a little cleaner, and a little more + thorough. See the Blackbox.ad and BlackboxMenu.ad for exmaples. +
