obrender broke backward compatibility by changing the layout of the
theme structure.
obt broke backward compatibility by changing the method signature of
some keyboard methods.
Both libraries added some new methods as well.
This adds a configure option --disable-librsvg, but defaults to
using the library if it is present during configure.
When enabled, Openbox will attempt to load svg image files using
the library, similar to how Imlib2 is used for other image
formats.
Since librsvg uses the libXml2 library, their errors end up in
the same global namespace as Openbox config file parsing. To
avoid this, we reset the libXml current error whenever we start
loading a file, and save the last error that occurred when we
are finished, by storing the error in the ObtXmlInst.
Add _OB_VERSION property on the root window.
Change _OB_ROLE/CLASS/NAME to _OB_APP_*.
Add _OB_APP_TYPE which has a string for the type chosen for the window on
mapping by Openbox.
Adjust the rc.xml to match these changes.
Image loading is done using the Imlib2 library.
I chose Imlib2 because it's pretty fast, it's easy to use, supports many file
formats (tested xpm, gif, jpeg, png) and doesn't introduce too much bloat (it
depends :)).
I ported the patch to 3.4.7-pre3 and added some enhancements. Caching is much
better now, and icons can be disabled at compile time using --disable-imlib2
option.
What's new?
Syntax of configuration files (namely rc.xml and menu.xml) has been changed
slightly to allow users to associate icons to menu entries. This is done by
specifying path to icon file in the new "icon" attribute in "<item>" element,
e.g:
<item label="Vim" icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/vim-32.xpm">
<action name="Execute"><execute>x-terminal-emulator -T Vim -e
vim</execute></action>
</item>
If user doesn't want to display any icons in his user-defined menus, he/she can
disable icons in rc.xml, inside "<menu>" section:
<menu>
...
<showIcons>no</showIcons>
...
</menu>
Default value is "yes".
(New boolean variable "config_menu_user_show_icons" has been added to source
code.)
An icon is loaded (using menu_item_attach_icon()) when a new entry of menu is
created. Fortunately, I haven't notice any performance problems because of this
:).
Set version stuff to 3.5.0-rc1.
Copy the CHANGELOG from 3.4-working.
Rename the obt-4.0 and obrender-4.0 pkgconfig stuff to obt-3.5 and obrender-3.5
Rename the "render" directory to "obrender" so that the public headers can be
installed in <obrender/*>
Bump glib req to 2.14 to get GRegex, now we only replace ~ with your
homedir in an action if it is (at the start of the string or preceded
by whitespace) and (at the end of the string or followed by (whitespace
or a slash)). (?:^|(?<=[ \t]))~(?=[/ \t$])
Fixes bug #4033.
