ChangeLog for 0.51.x
Changes from 0.51.3 to 0.51.3.1:
- silly fix for new linked list cde and KDE removeWindow operation... nothing
to warrant a full rev number increase
Changes from 0.51.2 to 0.51.3:
- made linked lists a little smarter... they now know which iterator is
accessing them, and don't let more than one at at time access them...
this fixes some problems with removing data items from a linked list
while an iterator is walking through them...
- applied Jeff Raven's focus-fix patch for the segfault related to
blackbox crashing after trying to authenticate on a webpage with netscape
Changes from 0.51.1. to 0.51.2:
- some menu/focus bug fixes (related to multiple windows getting focused
decorations)
- commands are now run with the DISPLAY environment variable enclosed in
quotation marks... tell me if this fixes some of the problems with
multiple screened/headed displays on certain platforms
- fixed compile error when passing --disable-slit to configure
- added 2 new menu syntax keys... [stylesdir] and [stylesmenu]...
syntax:
[stylesdir] (/path/to/styles/directory)
[stylesmenu] (Label) {/path/to/styles/directory}
[stylesdir] reads all of the files in a directory... and then includes
them into the current menu... each of the files is assumed to be a valid
blackbox stylefile...
[stylesmenu] does the same as above, but it creates a submenu instead (with
the label/title for the submenu)
- fixed bug with blackbox not saving the slit position in .blackboxrc
Changes from 0.51.0 to 0.51.1:
- add a check for sys/signal.h and include it if found... some systems may
need this for sigaction support...
- added a missing definition for BaseDisplay::getScreenInfo()
- BlackboxWindow constructor now sends a synthetic ConfigureNotify when
created... so that apps know where they are at after they are reparented...
this used to be in older versions... i dunno why i removed it :/
- fixed autoraise
- fixed that pesky bug that Jeff Raven keeps telling me about... the
window cycle and workspace modifiers can now be the same
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 ;)
