ChangeLog from Blackbox (this code's previous project): ChangeLog from Blackbox (this code's previous project):
Changes from 0.62.1 to 0.65.0:
- bsetroot now sets _XROOTPMAP_ID, so pseudo transparent apps will be happy
- beginnings of a strut implementation. toolbar and slit are removed from
the available screen area if 'full maximize' is not set
- handle the odd edge case where a reparent event occurs while the window
is unmapped. XReparentWindow sends an UnmapNotify to the window manager
however the window is already unmapped so the window manager never gets
the event and the unmapNotify event is where reparentNotify was handled.
Added a reparentNotifyEvent handler in the BlackboxWindow class and a new
case in the Blackbox class's process_event function.
- no more blackbox->grab/ungrab calls everywhere
- compression of motion and expose
- added a Util.cc file which contains useful functions with no obvious home.
- Now we have one function which turns ~/ into /home/user/. This is now
called everywhere this expansion should be done. Even added this to the
resource.menu_file so now the menu file may be specified as
~/blackbox_menu.
- added a TimerQueue which is a priority_queue with the ability to release
items it contains before they reach the top of the queue. Also added a
TimerQueueManager protocol class which BaseDisplay now inherits from.
- BTimer now defaults to NOT recurring. Most of the timers in blackbox were
one shots so I saw little benefit in defaulting to repeating timers.
- added emacs local variables that prevent the addition of tabs to each file
- update transient handling, should solve issues with apps like acroread.
added a getTransientInfo() method of the BlackboxWindow class which
handles checking the transient state in X and setting the appropriate
variables on the window. To further attack the infinite loops this
function ensures that client.transient != this.
The new transient code also allows for one window to have multiple
transients so applications like xmms and web browsers are better behaved.
- added Taiwan Chinese (zh_TW), Hungarian (hu_HU), Korean (ko_KR),
Norwegian (no_NO), Romanian (ro_RO) and Ukrainian (uk_UA) nls files and
updated the most of the others.
- added French man pages
- remove slit and netwm as compile time options
- strip much of BaseDisplay's original functionality and move it to the
blackbox class.
- move code over to the STL
- new placeWindow algorithm. Blows the old one out of the water. Not only
is it faster but it is also cleaner code too (-: Went from number 5 in
the profiling to results to under 30. Managing of new windows is slowed
down by image rendering above all else now.
Because of the new code layout, the support is now there for new and
different layout options, but this will wait for after 0.65.0.
- better window group handling
- huge amounts of internal cleanups
- even better ICCCM support and focus handling
- wmswallow works
- fix for clock clipping in the toolbar
- better support for non decorated windows and toggling decor
- the geometry window shown when moving or resizing a window now handles the
parentrelative setting better
- improved edge snap support (still no window to window snapping)
- changing preferences no longer leads to windows being raised
- the window's send to menu disables the current workspace, which is a
better UI approach
- removed several unused variables and otherwise reduced the memory usage
of the objects in Blackbox. For the record we are about 100k larger than
0.62.0 and that is mostly due to the STL. However for the most part
blackbox runs faster and is still one of the leanest window managers out
there today.
- smart window placement ignores shaded windows now
- new option in the Config menu which allows Scroll Lock to disable
Blackbox's keybindings.
- first the resurrection of the code and now the return of Brad! Blackbox
is only getting better with age.
Changes from 0.62.0 to 0.62.1: Changes from 0.62.0 to 0.62.1:
- the lock modifier code handles user redefined modifiers better - the lock modifier code handles user redefined modifiers better
- check if the locale actually needs multibyte support before using multibyte - check if the locale actually needs multibyte support before using multibyte
