gRun news
31 January 1999
Switched to gettext for i18n
Using gettext for i18n in gRun because of better configurabilty and
ease of use.
15 January 1999
Added command preload
This option, a command line parameter --preload, loads whatever follows
on the command line into the entry box as the default command.
12 January 1999
Added absolute path completion
If the first character of the command in the entry box is a / when
Tab/Esc/F2 is pressed, gRun will complete the command as an absolute
path. The command fragment will be split at the last / in the string,
a / appended to the path split and the end fragment searched for in
that directory.
11 January 1999
Released version 0.8.1
This is a bug fix release which fixes a bug whereby gRun exits if a
parameter not removed by GTK or recognized by gRun is given. Also the
console mode test code now works on FQPN's. Also the Cancel button
is now a Close button if using --persist
Development version released - 0.9.0
The first release of the new development tree is now released. This
tree is assumed to be unstable at all times and care should be taken
when using it. Changes include an attempt to create a multi-national
release. On the TODO list for 0.9 is regular expression support.
4 January 1998
Released version 0.8.0
0.8 is a stable release branch and only bugfixes will be incorporated
into the branch. The next development release will be 0.9.1, if we
can find other features to implement.
27 December 1998
Released version 0.8pre1
0.8pre1 is the first prerelease of gRun. This release will become
version 0.8 if no bugs are found. Please submit bug reports as
soon as possible.
Tooltips added
Tooltips for the OK, Cancel and Browse buttons have been implemented.
Private tips are already defined, but aren't available yet.
gassoc extended
More entries have been added to gassoc. Type covered now include
PostScript,
17 December 1998
Global locations for gassoc and consfile
gRun checks if the .gassoc and .consfile, for associations and
console mode apps respectively, exist in the user's home dir and
then loads a global copy stored in /usr/local/share/grun if either
file isn't found. This allow sys-admins to maintain a system wide
database of associations and console modes apps.
16 December 1998
Added file associations
gRun now checks if a file is executable and if it isn't,
tries to find a matching extension assocation and launches
that app. This is not compiled by default as the associations
file needs to be manually installed. This does not work for
the command line yet.
December 9 1998
Switched to config.h for #defines
Switched over to config.h for #defines since the compiler
command line was getting too long.
December 8 1998
Added console mode app support.
If gRun finds the command in a file listing console mode apps,
eg telnet or ftp, it fires the app off inside an Xterm of your
choice. A small file list is distributed with the release and
should be copied to HOME/.consfile on Unix.
Added persitance of the dialog
If gRun is started with --persist or -p, the dialog won't close
after the command is run. It will remain open allowing you to
run more applications. The only way to close gRun is but using
the WM kill button or the Cancel button. This has added a status
byte to the sgrun struct. Bit 7 used for persitance flag.
Dropped short command line switches
Only the long switches are recognized now. Anyone got complaints?
December 7 1998
Added last command recall
gRun now recalls the last new command from the top of the
history list into the combobox, selected and all that jazz.
Fixed several Win32 bugs
Autocomplete now works under Win32. Other bugs associated with
the keypresses also fixed. A Makefile for VC6 is now distributed
with the release.
December 1 1998
Added command autocompletion from history
gRun now tries to complete the command as it is being typed
in, ala Communicator 4 on Windows. It finds the first match
in the history for the characters already typed in and inserts
the text into the EntryBox. The added section is selected so
that the next keystroke can delete it if it is wrong
Added command completion from directory PATH
When you hit the Tab key, gRun now tries to complete the command
from the executable PATH directories. It finds the first filename
in the PATH that starts with the characters already typed in and
inserts it into the EntryBox, doing the same selection story
as for history complete.
November 29 1998
Added Win32 support (Troy Engel <tengel@sonic.net>
Troy ported gRun to Win32 as an alternative to Start/Run.
Now we're getting somewhere. The code needs a bit of work
according to Troy, but it launches the apps correctly
using CreateProcess() and uses Tor Lillqvists' GTK port.
November 26 1998
Changed from Motif to GTK
Changed over to GTK from Motif because it has a nicer
look, is more powerful and has features I needed.
Changed name to gRun
Changed the name from xmrun to gRun for obvious reasons
Implemented history
gRun now stores all previous commands that were successful
Using fork() and execvp() for launching
Now using dual fork() and execvp() to launch the application
instead of system() for better control of launch and because
using system() under xmrun was a major ugly hack. The new
system now ensures that the app is launched independantly of
the gRun process. None of that fire off a shell that GNOME
uses either.
Added long switches
Added --help and --version to -h and -v for reasons of Unix
standards adherence.
