Changes in official release 2.2.5 (not released yet) * When fvwm is run remotely, startup is noticably faster. * Fixed the description of Focus in the man page. * Fixed a compile problem with Slackware 7.1. * Security fix related to .fvwm2rc being searched in the current directory when $HOME is not set. * A small fix in the code for SmartPlacement. * Core dump fix in pixmap code. Changes in official release 2.2.4 (November 1999) * Fixed HP-UX 10.20 build problems. * Fixed build problems without shape extension. Changes in official release 2.2.3 (October 1999) * Several minor bugfixes. * Fixed dragging windows out of the pager. * Added support for StartFunction & ImagePath not to break new configurations. * Fixed long-window-name-hangs-X bug. Changes in official release 2.2.2 (May 1999) * New "Emulate" command for independent control of the move/resize feedback window. * EdgeThickness command can be issued at any time. * Pan frames not created when not needed. * Pan frames reach corners. * Fixed window wandering on restart, recapture. * International characters are accepted as input in FvwmForm. * Fix bug in window shading that left one row of pixels visible. * Fix to FvwmTaskbar so that it won't loop when there are too many buttons. * Fix positioning bug on overlapping menus. * Fix M4 command problem, Problem Reports 201 and 246. * Fixed bug when calling a function without all args supplied. * Miscellaneous bug fixes, see ChangeLog for details. Changes in official release 2.2 (February 1999) Changes in beta release 2.1.13 (February 1999) Changes in beta release 2.1.12 (February 1999) * Enhanced and changed the syntax for menu position hints. If you use negative offsets you will have to change your configuration now. Changes in beta release 2.1.11 (January 1999) * Renamed MenuStyle options: PrepopMenus to PopupImmediately and PrepopMenusOff to PopupDelayed. Changes in beta release 2.1.8 (January 1999) * New options SidePic and SideColor to MenuStyle * Configure generates a summary at the end of processing. In particular this is useful to see if any of XPM, Readline, or RPlay are missing. * Configure now looks in more places to find cpp. If cpp can't be found, you will need to specify '-cppprog' if you use the FvwmCpp module. A warning to this effect is printed at configure time. * Configure now tries harder to ensure that XPM is the right version. Changes in beta release 2.1.7 (December 1998) * The SetMenuStyle command does not exist anymore. Its functionality has been merged with MenuStyle. MenuStyle supports the old and the new syntax. Changes in beta release 2.1.6 (December 1998) * Recapture is now much faster * New command "EdgeThickness" to control the size of the pan frames, and a new way to turn off mouse edgescrolling. * new commands DefaultFont, DefaultColors and Emulate * SetMenuStyle was completely rewritten to get a 'Style'-like syntax. * Removed SetMenuDelay command. * Popup menus can have a default action too. * FvwmButtons quoting cleaned up a bit. Changes in beta release 2.1.5 (December 1998) * SnapAttraction works for windows and/or icons. New command SnapGrid. * The WindowsDesk command is now obsolete. It has been replaced with the MoveToDesk command, which uses an argument syntax identical to the enhanced Desk command, and allows constraining a move within a range of desks. Changes in beta release 2.1.4 (December 1998) * Fvwm creates an environment variable FVWM_MODULEDIR containing the path to the default module directory, for use in config files, etc. * The extras module FvwmCommand installs its user interface into the bindir rather than the moduledir. Changes in alpha release 2.1.3 (November 1998) * Switched to GNU autoconf * COPYING policy file * Improved menu handling: Menu position hints, individual menu styles, cursor key navigation, animated menus :-) * Improved window movement: AnimatedMove, SetAnimation, SnapAttraction (like in KDE), move/resize can be aborted with a mouse button, Warp option to Move/AnimatedMove. * Direction command (allows to switch windows via cursor (or other) keys in an intuitive way). * Recapture command is now faster. * Startup is a bit faster if you have a large configuration file and a high ClickTime. * Desk/Page handling: $d in functions is replaced by the current desk number, Desk parameters can be given a min/max allowed desk number, making a window sticky moves it to the current page, MoveToDesk and MoveToPage functions, enhanced WindowsDesk function * Styles: temporary GlobalOpts command, MouseFocusOnStartup, StipledTitles * Upgraded versions of FvwmCommand (1.5.1), FvwmConsole (1.3) and FvwmIconMan. * FvwmPager: Balloons (small text windows with the window title appear in the pager), current desk (always the current desk on the pager). * FvwmButtons improvements: animated panels (like CDE), better button shuffling, button geometries (x and y position). Changes in alpha release 2.1.2 (November 1998) * Modules FvwmCascade and FvwmTile were replaced with FvwmRearrange. * Improved Shadow/Hilite algorithm (from scwm). Logic moved into library and all modules with 3D logic now use this routine. * SnapAttraction Command: If during an interactive move a window comes within a certain distance in pixels of another it will be moved to make the borders adjoin. * ...MenuStyle commands: allow to name different menu styles and apply them to individual menus. * Direction command Changes in alpha release 2.1.1 (October 1998) * Official home page html added to docs directory. Changes in alpha release 2.1.0 (October 1998) * basic autoconfiguration support; see INSTALL.fvwm and INSTALL * modules installed into ${libexecdir}/fvwm/${VERSION} - since the version string is encoded into the module directory, it is safer to rely on the compiled-in ModulePath, rather than setting it yourself in .fvwm2rc * system configure (system.fvwm2rc) searched for in ${sysconfdir} * FvwmCpp and FvwmM4 no longer define FVWMDIR variable; instead they define FVWM_MODULEDIR and FVWM_CONFIGDIR * FvwmAnimate added. * Starting with this release, fvwm2 is in a public CVS tree. Changes in alpha release 2.1-pre-beta AKA 2.0.47 1. FAQ updates 2. Menu code & Move fixes & enhancements based on patch from Greg Badros [+ some bugfixes] 3. Added SetEnv function (also from Greg's patch) 4. Fixed some memory leaks 5. Cleaned up some ugly code pointed out by Peter Seebach (like mystrcasecmp & mystrncasecmp - are these even needed anyways? Is there any system that doesn't have the non-"my" versions?) 6. Builtin WindowList no longer searches for xpm's in window titles (patch from Greg Badros) 7. Various compiler fixes 8. Created textures directory, put Martin Cartwright's "marbles" and textures from http://www.PLiG.org/xwinman/ in there as a start 9. Pager balloon window patch from Ric Lister 10. Signal handler safety patches (based on patch from Grant McDorman) 11. Cleaned up and consolidated allowed function checking code 12. Made GetTwoArguments check for 'MxN' style numbers so cmds like 'DeskTopSize 2x3' will work (since the man page has always said that is the proper syntax) 13. Fixed some minor parsing bugs 14. Added check to GetWindowSizeHints to compensate for bad aspect ratios (fixes some windows that startup HUGE) 15. Patch to FvwmButtons to add animated panels to it (like CDE or Wharf) from Jui-Hsuan Joshua Feng 16. Brady Montz is the new maintainer. 17. The Imakefile for FvwmCpp sets FVWM_CPP to CppCmd. If Imake is incorrectly configured, you have to override this in Fvwm.tmpl. 18. New version of FvwmIconMan 19. Changed prototype of bzero() in alpha_headers.h. 20. Applied Iconbox patch which added new styles IconGrid and IconFill from Dan Espen. 21. Applied Colorlimit patch which adds ColorLimit command to set maxmimum number of colors fvwm can use for pixmaps from Dan Espen. 22. Applied DontFocusOffscreen patch. 23. Added StipledTitles globalopt. 24. Fix to fvwmrc_convert from Pete Forman. 25. Added FvwmEvent module (successor to FvwmAudio). Added notice to FvwmAudio manpage to start using FvwmEvent. 26. Added a usleep() for machines which don't have them. Set HAVE_USLEEP accordingly in configure.h. 27. Changed Fvwm.tmpl to use the CCENVSETUP Imake variable when building executables to fix problem where run-time load path wouldn't be set correctly on solaris. 28. Added Albrecht Kadlec's SetupModule() routine to fvwmlib. 29. Integrated MouseFocusOnStartup patch. 30. Put my fvwm configuration in sample.fvwm/BradyMontz. 31. Added FvwmAnimate which animates window Iconification. This is a port from Afterstep with enhancements by Dan Espen. 32. Extracted parsing routines from FvwmEvent and put in the libs directory for general use. 33. Modules can now operate synchronously with fvwm thru the M_LOCKONSEND flag (from Afterstep). 34. Modules can now be interactively configured with the M_SENDCONFIG flag. 35. Dominik Vogt is temporarily the new maintainer. 36. Added menu positioning patch and lots of bugfixes in the menu code. 37. Improved FvwmButtons to recognize button geometries and did some bugfixes. 38. Enhanced FvwmPager to allow showing always the current desk. 39. A range of valid desk numbers can be given to any command using desks. 40. New module XResources in the library to help future modules parsing configuration files and XResources. 41. Added a bugs section to the FvwmCpp manpage. 42. Did some cleanup on the manpage. 43. Added MoveToDesk and MoveToPage builtins and improved WindowsDesk command. 44. New variable $d for functions to get desktop number. 45. The RaiseLower bug has been fixed. 46. Enhancements to cursor navigation in menus. 47. Improved warping with menus. 48. Fixed memory leak and possible coredumps in WindowList function. 49. Fixed bugs in Parse.c in the library and added some convenience function. 50. Improved adding titles to menus. 51. Changed the syntax of Prev, Next, None and Current. The old syntax is still supported (but undocumented). 52. Renamed 2.0.47 to 2.1-pre-beta. 2.0.46 Aug 20, 1997 Version 2.0.46 is now available, at long last... Doesn't have all of the stuff that I wanted to get in there, but it was taking WAY too long for me to put it together, so the rest will have to wait until 2.0.47. Namely, if you were looking for the animated menus patch or the colorlimiting patch, some variation of each of those will most likely appear in 2.0.47. The march towards 2.1.0 continues... Also, PLEASE be sure to read the ChangeLog entries each time you upgrade to make sure you don't miss anything that might require you to change something in your .fvwm2rc, etc. 1. Patch to remove forgotten CLICKTORAISE #if check, from Markus Gutschke 2. More mini xpm files 3. Fix to XTerm font change problem 4. There is no 4... 5. Updated extras/FvwmScript from Frederic Cordier 6. Changing default XORValue to 0, which now means "try and guess what a good XORValue is for my display" (using recommended method in the XLib Programming Manual) 7. Updated FvwmM4 & Cpp man pages to show correct invocation... 8. Updated extras/fvwmperl from Dan Astoorian 9. FAQ updates 10. Imakefile fixes 11. Added info to FvwmIdent (transient) 12. Brought back 1.xx like CursorStyle command (based on old patch from Kit Smithers) 13. Patch from Patrice Fortier to allow xpm backgrounds in FvwmButtons (noticed some problems with this) 14. Updated FvwmCommand from Toshi Isogai 15. Builtin WinList fixes (geometry string makes more sense now, plus alphabetic sort option from Eric Schott) 16. Fix from Andrew for NoButton 0 problem 17. GetDecor SCO CPP patch from Andrew 18. Patch from Andrew for MWM buttons functions problems 19. Fix from Dave Goldberg for NoTitle & MiniIcon conflict 20. Move/Resize frame drawing bug patch from Makoto Matsushita 21. Patch to FlipFocus (under MouseFocus) from Markus Gutschke 22. Added patch from Rob Whapham/Thimo Jansen for FvwmPager miniicons (plus small enhancements) 23. FvwmBacker patch from Tim Phipps to have it run fvwm commands instead of unix commands, so borders & the like can be changed too (just use Exec to get old functionality) 24. Latest FvwmIconMan (v1.0) from Brady Montz 25. Fix for static buffer overflow in SendDataToModule in read.c (when IconPath/PixmapPath greater than 255 chars) 26. Patch from Tim Phipps to add Current op (like Prev & Next, but operates only on Current window) and enhanced conditionals for Prev/Next/Current/None (like the addition of !) 27. Added FvwmWharf to extras dir (ported from AfterStep by Peter Gray) 28. Added FvwmTaskBar to extras dir (ported from fvwm95 by Don Mahurin) 29. Added FvwmWinList miniicons patch from Don Mahurin. Still need to update docs for it... 30. Patches from Randy Ray to make windowshade module packets more "standard" & add filename to MINI_ICON packet 31. Patch from Barry Warsaw to make multi head code work slightly better (although it probably needs a total rewrite to really work well - ctwm good model?) 32. Patch to echo builtin needs to remove final \n if there is one (Greg Badros sees this, but I don't so it might be a system dependent bug) 33. Patch from Dan Espen for keeping long icon names on screen 34. Made builtin function searching faster (hopefully) using simple binary search (mostly to help speed up startup time). Please let me know how this works since my relatively simple setup isn't a good test case for this... 35. Removed 'raise_it' entirely, since no longer used 36. Made window move paging match Edgescroll values instead of always doing full screens (should this be an option?) 37. Focus command no longer raises - use an interpreted focus-and-raise function if that's desired 38. Minor menu code bug fixed - wasn't always ungrabbing the cursor before executing function (timing dependent - most of the time ok) 39. Fixes for DEC Alpha compile warnings 40. Fix for IconBox -0 handling, from Ric Lister 2.0.45 Jan 22, 1997 Version 2.0.45 is now available. Ok, 2.0.44 had a few flaws in there... :) This is essentially a quick bugfix release. 1. Patches to WindowShade stuff, from Andrew Veliath 2. Man page corrections & updates 3. UseStyle fixes from Andrew 4. CleverPlacement and RandomPlacement fixes from Anthony Martin 5. Added (De)WindowShade module msgs 6. FvwmAudio fix (for MINI_ICON & (DE)WINDOWSHADE) 7. FvwmAuto fixes from Albrecht 8. DestroyDecor window shrinkage fix, from Andrew 9. Fix to Wait command lockup (from Makoto Matushita) 10. Fix to undocumented LEFT_MENUS stuff (from Dan Espen) 11. Updated FvwmIconMan to Brady's latest, and made it use GetFdWidth instead of sysconf for portability (patch from Makoto Matushita) 12. Patch to make CLICKTORAISE define be GlobalOpts MouseFocusClickRaises option, from Randal Winchester 13. Fixes for problems w/ B&W visuals with new EXTENED_TITLESTYLE stuff, patch from Andrew 14. WindowsDesk patch from Pekka Marjola to be able to move relative to current desk (now matches Desk builtin, plus handles old behavior) 15. Added decor_examples in sample.fvwmrc dir, which contains a few examples of the new Decor/BorderStyle/TitleStyle stuff (from lar3ry gensch, Martin Cartwright, Paul Smith) 2.0.44 Jan 15, 1997 (figured I should start putting dates in here...) Version 2.0.44 has finially been released, with lots of fixes, and some new stuff that I finially gave in on. For all you fans of the various fvwm hacks that keep showing up (fvwm95, fvwm-xpm, etc) be sure to check out the new optional at compile time BorderStyle/TitleStyle/UseDecor stuff... I'm looking for good examples for them to put in the sample fvwm2rc files. If anyone comes up with some that they might like to contribute, feel free to mail them to the fvwm mailing list. 1. More man page and FAQ updates 2. More minor Imake fixes 3. Patch for IconGeometry placement problems and probs running on multiple displays from Graham Barr 4. Changed Next/Prev 'CurrentScreen' to be 'CurrentPage' and added 'CurrentPageAnyDesk', based on patch by Dan Niles 5. Updated FvwmIconMan from Brady Montz 6. Fix so FvwmGoodStuff in extras would compile ok 7. Added Perl routines (fvwmperl in extras dir) for aid in making modules written in Perl, from Dan Astoorian 8. Hopefully fixed long standing startup timing bug in which some windows didn't get Style attributes or borders (by fixing when server was grabbed and making sure it didn't get ungrabbed to early accidentally) 9. Added FlipFocus function from Dan Niles, to toggle between two windows easily 10. Patch for EdgeResistance timer problem from Mike Blatchley 11. Patch to FvwmAudio so it works again (new module message type M_STRING wasn't recognized) plus other minor fixes and enhancements (like being able to use the rplay 'say' command and have arbitrary strings instead of sound file names), from Albrecht Kadlec 12. Fixes to FvwmConsole from Toshi Isogai, plus added his FvwmCommand to the extras directory (for sending fvwm commands from a shell script). 13. Patch for dynamic icon title recalculation from Ric Lister. 14. Updates to fvwmrc_convert from Bill Oswald, with some more minor mods from me to make it easier to customize for your site. 15. Added 'Echo' function. 16. Patch to FvwmForm to handle TrueColor from Chris Laas 17. Changed fcntl in module.c to use O_NONBLOCK (POSIX) instead of O_NDELAY (early SYSV) due to differences in behavior on some systems (Pyramid SYSV for instance, pointed out by Mark Wedel) 18. Added Python routines (fvwmpython in extras dir) for aid in making moduules written in Python, from Barry Warsaw 19. FvwmBacker now sets root window when it's invoked as well as on desk changes 20. CatchFatal no longer makes XLib calls (to prevent some infinite looping under Digital Unix & Solaris), patch from Grant McDorman. 21. Added Andrew Veliath's TitleBar pixmap patch (optional at compile time) 22. Added patch for timing bug in pager when dragging windows across desktops under Solaris from Grant McDorman 23. Added RefreshWindow function, at the request of Mike Kazda. 24. Changed default XORValue to 1 25. Changed SmartPlacement behavior to be "stubborn" (like 1.xx StubbornPlacement option) and not place over icons (if you don't want this you can compile with NO_STUBBORN_PLACEMENT). 26. Added extras/FvwmScript (which replaces extras/FvwmForm2) from Frederic Cordier (although I think it should be renamed to something like FvwmFormScript). It can now swallow programs like FvwmButtons. 27. Sample .fvwm2rc updates, default system.fvwm2rc file now minimal to encourange site customization, added more sample files to go with it. 28. Added info to FvwmIdent 29. Added MiniIcon patch from Brady Montz (optional at compile time) 30. Added BorderStyle border textures (+ TitleStyle, UseDecor, etc) patch from Andrew Veliath, part of which was inspired by the idea from 'The Rasterman' Carsten Haitzler (optional at compile time) 31. Consolidated Recapture and CaptureAllWindows 32. Fixes for unmapping problems (patch from Grant McDorman) 33. Removed redundancy in module.c in Broadcast* funcs. 34. Multiple -f & -cmd parms now allowed (10 max) 35. Merged fvwmlib code into some common files, and moved some functions out of fvwm proper into them. 36. Added GlobalOpts builtin (for various options that should become Style options later) - this is temporary. I know it's ugly, but I didn't feel like adding 6 (or more) temporary functions (lazy, I know...) 37. Added (GlobalOpts) global option SmartPlacementIsReallySmart (may become parm to SmartPlacement, or whole new CleverPlacement style after the Great Style Flag Rewrite) which uses clever placement code from Anthony Martin 38. Started adding new parsing code based on ideas in patch from Albrecht Kadlec, for more consistent parsing. More and more code in fvwm will be converted to use these... 39. Added WindowListFunc and made built in window list use it by default (instead of RAISE_IT), to allow for various actions to be controlled by the builtin window list (like to warp the pointer or not warp the pointer when giving it the focus, or perhaps do something like run FvwmIdent on it). It is interpreted, so you can destroy it and write your own version of this default WindowList function. 40. WindowList now takes reasonable optional parameters instead of those cryptic numbers (including an optional function to use instead of the default WindowListFunc), based on patch from Albrecht Kadlec. 41. Added WindowId function, sort of like Next & Prev, to force a function to happen on a specified WindowID. 42. Updated FvwmAuto from Albrecht Kadlec (now takes parameters for functions to be run on focus in & focus out). 41. Read funcs now output what they are going to execute if -debug parameter was passed in. 42. Should now be sending synthetic ConfigureNotify on stacking changes (for potential motif menubar problems). 43. Added WindowShade function from Andrew Veliath 44. Added (GlobalOpts) global options to modify ClickToFocus selections: ClickToFocusDoesntPassClick/PassesClick, ClickToFocusDoesntRaise/Raises (may become parms to ClickToFocus after the Great Style Flag Rewrite) 45. UseStyle should now parse quoted Style refs correctly, courtesy of Andrew Veliath. 46. Added Randall Winchester's CLICKTORAISE compile time option patch 47. Patch from Greg Badros for FvwmButtons font coredump 48. Patch from Greg Badros so FvwmM4 passes opts not recognized directly to M4 (so -m4opt not needed) and -outfile option. Added these to FvwmCpp as well. 49. Fixes for compiling under Linux for DEC Alpha from Ilkka E T Tuohela 2.0.43 1. More man page updates & Imake fixes 2. Simple patch to help take care of some timing bugs 3. Patch to fix resize oddities when hitting 'hard' edge introduced by EdgeScroll loop patch 4. Fixed startup w/ no rc bug, plus added more defaults, so if started without an rc file, things should run ok. Plus it now outputs error messages if Read fails, then tries to Read system.fvwm2rc (after first read fails). 5. Patch to fix UseStyle problem w/ BackColor 6. More FAQ updates 7. Created an 'extras' dir, and moved some of the existing modules in there (the ones that aren't being built by default). 8. More potential speedups in event processing 9. Decoupled warp from Focus, adding WarpToWindow function. 10. Added SendToModule builtin to send arbitrary strings to modules to help implement more complex dynamic module abilities and allow for module to module communication 11. Put old FvwmButtons back as FvwmGoodStuff, for people who prefer the simpler older version (in extras dir). Also made it able to be passed in the name parameter on invocation so it doesn't have to be symbolically linked to the new names any more. 12. Adding a new module FvwmForm2 in the extras directory, contributed by Frederic Cordier. Based on FvwmForm but completely rewritten apparently. It uses scripts, has a new more complex syntax (Pascal like) and adds RadioButtons. I would like to eventually combine aspects of the two versions (and more) to make one killer module, perhaps. 13. Made fvwm_msg send errors to modules, so FvwmTalk sees them like it used to (and any other module that looks for M_ERROR in the future) 14. Added DestroyModuleConfig, based on patch from Toshi Isogai 15. Modules can now send module config commands to fvwm (eg FvwmTalk) 16. Removed implicit Exec exec stuff for the time being, until I come up with a better way to do it (back to old behavior) 17. More mini icons added and some icons removed 18. Added "KillMe" command that modules can send to fvwm asking for an assisted suicide (almost called this Kevorkian :)). Mark Crimmins wanted this for probs with TkGoodStuff. 19. Fixed RaiseWindow bug under some servers when no icon pixmap. 20. Fixed one prob w/ FvwmAuto and menus being hidden (under click to focus - still needs work for other focus policies, but not entirely sure how to approach this yet). 21. Added ExitFunction, to be executed on exit (before restarts too). Useful for explicitly killing modules, etc. 22. Changed behavior of '-f' to just specify config file (now use -cmd to perform an actual command, like -cmd 'FvwmM4 .fvwm2rc') 23. Updates to FvwmSaveDesk from Carsten Paeth so it should now actually work under 2.xx, plus some other bugfixes too I believe. 24. Added PipeRead function, which executes a program and Read's it's output. Useful for making dynamic menus and such. 25. Security fix for FvwmM4 & FvwmCpp from Austin Donnelly 26. Added strerror for SunOS 4.1.x 27. Added ability to remove mouse and key bindings without restart (do the binding but specify '-' as the function). Probably needs more checking for removing mouse bindings from title bar buttons correctly, though. 28. Updates to FvwmIconMan from Brady Montz. 29. Updates to FvwmIconBox from Nobutaka Suzuki. 30. Patch from Austin Donnelly for multi-keypress required for WindowList problem. 31. Patch to center text on left pixmaps in menus. 32. Patch to allow menus to pop up left if not enough room on right (currently in ifdef -> define LEFT_MENUS to enable when compiling). 2.0.42 1. More small Imake fixes & man page updates 2. Optional Xpm support for titlebar buttons patch from Andrew Veliath 3. Made event handler jump table be a bigger default size, since LASTEvent doesn't account for X Extension related events (eg SHAPE) 4. FvwmPager display updates: DeskColor patch from Alan Wild, line distinctions between desks and pages, reinstated message mask 5. Patch to make fvwm recognize some OpenLook WM hints (like MWM hints) from Andrew Taylor 6. Added FvwmIconMan module (by Brady Montz) 7. Replaced FvwmButtons with New & Improved version from Jarl Totland, had to patch to get to work ok under AIX (char's are unsigned by default under AIX) 8. Added DestroyFunc for removing function definitions 9. Made Exec use $SHELL, like mwm, if ExecUseSHELL is specified, plus Exec now does an explicit "exec" as the first arg (if it's not there already), to eliminate extra processes 10. Completely replaced fvwm_err (removed) & most fprintf calls (those that were appropriate) w/ fvwm_msg (which has variable args, a consistent look, and will eventually optionally output to a file as well as to stderr) 11. Fix from Nobutaka Suzuki for probs w/ Next/Prev Focus 12. Patch from Henrique to make EdgeScroll wrap cleaner 13. Patches to FvwmIconBox from Nobutaka Suzuki 14. Patches for caching xpm files, modules having Popups on ButtonPress events, & rc line continuation (from Jarl) 15. Make SHAPE extension runtime determinite in addition to compile time so same exec can run on different machines better (John Bazik, the author of XMX wanted this) - Haven't fixed up the modules that use SHAPE yet though (next release) 16. New module FvwmConsole (a good potential replacement for FvwmTalk) from Toshi Isogai. Currently won't build as part of the normal process (you'll have to do it by hand until I integrate it further). 17. Added more mini icons from list members. 18. Added new-system.fvwmrc, which is the beginning of a reformatted & commented rc file (from Eli Burke). Feel free to provide your $0.02 on it. 2.0.41 1. More FAQ updates & man page corrections 2. Patch to limit GetFdWidth to FD_SETSIZE to prevent fvwm from eating too much cpu under bsdi if 'unlimit descriptors' is used 3. Ressurrected desktop edge wrap via EdgeScroll*1000 feature 4. Fixed library link order (fixes the sometimes undefined XLoadQueryFont problem) 5. Renamed fvwm_icons subdir to be just icons, documentation to be just docs 6. Removed FvwmPrompt (use FvwmForm instead, since it's better anyways) 7. Todd Fries 'UseStyle' patch 8. XClientMessages sent to icon windows (that aren't XA_WM_CHANGE_STATE ones) are now sent along to to the apps window 9. FvwmButtons fixes from Jarl for incorrectly drawn buttons and better no title handling 10. FvwmForm now uses GetFontOrFixed, instead of silently failing if font can't be found 11. New Imake setup based on patch from Mark Powell (let's see if people have less problems with this, since it's more 'standard' now) 12. Changed top directory to contain version number 13. Modified Style parsing to (hopefully) do less string compares for a potential speedup 14. Modified DispatchEvent to use a jump table instead of a switch statement, again for a potential speedup 15. FvwmIconBox patches from Nobutaka Suzuki 2.0.40 1. Removed 'basename' reference 2. More small Imake fixes 3. Renamed FvwmConfig .cc files to .C, because some C++ compilers can't handle the .cc extension (AIX's, for instance) 4. FvwmForm now gets config info in standard way 5. FvwmBanner now dissappears if you click on it (like in 1.xx) 6. Renamed FvwmConfig's makefile to Makefile.std and cleaned it up 7. More small man page cleanups 8. Improved handling of nonexistant fonts (added GetFontOrFixed) 9. More debug messges, and central fvwm_msg function for printing msgs (started converting fvwm_err and fprintf calls to use this instead, as it has variable args and allows for a consistent message feel and I'll use this to add -outfile option eventually to capture all fvwm output to a file as well as stderr) 10. Fixed function parm $9 coredump 11. Added basic TitleStyle (for justfication & edge appearance) 2.0.39 1. More Imake fixes from Randall Winchester 2. Started adding optional debug messages, to help people help me solve problems that I can't reproduce (a define in configure.h to enable these, off by default) 3. Added -blackout option, to black out screen during init and recapture (no blackout is default now) 4. Removed some unused variables, cleaned up some code that generated compiler warnings 5. More small doc & FAQ updates 6. Fix for using "None" as font in FvwmPager to not have a Label (it now works) 7. Making Resource = "NoResource" instead of "Untitled" (if class hints res_name is NULL) to differentiate between window Name & window Resource so Style commands for windows that have a WM_NAME but no WM_CLASS don't match Untitled 8. Simple FvwmWinList refresh patch 9. Added Imakefile for FvwmConfig (only works under X11R6) 2.0.38 1. Fixed FvwmPager to die without causing X server to eat CPU if running under FvwmButtons & FvwmButtons dies or is killed 2. Went to new M.I.P version number system in preparation for first official release (which will be 2.1.0 - until then fvwm2 is still pre-official release) 3. Small fix to makefile for FvwmConfig 4. More [icon_]name == NULL checks/fixes 5. Added some things left out from Imakefiles, makefile.h & configure.h 6. FvwmButtons now handles Exec "" foobar correctly. 7. Added Ludvig A. Norin's wonderful mini xpm icons 8. Made scanForPixmap keep %name% or *name* in strings (restores original string) if pixmaps can't be found (this also allows window list to work for names w/ % or * in them too, or actually display a pixmap if it's in the window name), and corrected 2 col menu display bug that this showed (2nd col text didn't account for width of left justified pixmap) pl 36 to 37 1. Fixed coredump due to incomplete backout of NoName/NoClass patch 2. Fix for multiple env var expansion core dump from Sverre H. Huseby 3. Small doc fixes (spelling, etc) 4. Imakefile/configure.h enhancements from Randall S. Winchester 5. Updated system.fvwmrc (FvwmIconBox changes from Nobutaka Suzuki) pl 35 to 36 1. Some more doc cleanups & FAQ updates, plus renamed fvwm.man to fvwm2.man, w/ symlink for fvwm.man (so install.man works correctly with rename of exec) 2. Made utils subdir for scripts, added quantize_pixmap script 3. FvwmPagerDeskTopScale patch 4. Small changes to configure.h defaults, plus added XPMINCLUDE and FVWM_MAN_DIR 5. Added 'make depend' to MakeMakefiles script 6. Reverting NoClass patch completely, as I think it's causing other problems 7. Small change to make windows seem to close faster (hopefully) 8. Patches to FvwmButtons to make it behave better when killed (kill swallowed modules, catch signals, etc) 9. Patch from Sverre H. Huseby for env vars in ModulePath, PixmapPath and IconPath 10. Patch to FvwmCpp for -cppopt to work correctly 11. Added FvwmDebug back to distribution (still needs to be updated) 12. Added BUGS file for known bugs pl 34 to 35 0. New maintainer for fvwm now, please go easy on him :) 1. Fixed Title & Icon name change bug introduced in pl 34 2. Applied another patch from Frederic Devernay a. Keeps no class windows having no class & now handles correctly 3. Removed some extraneous files from the distribution, added preliminary FAQ, INSTALL & TO-DO files, added small README. 4. Made conversion_script runnable 5. Fixed FvwmPrompt 6. Patch to rename fvwm & .fvwmrc in configure.h added (on by default) 7. Compile date & time added to -version. 8. FvwmBanner Xpm & timeout can now be specified in fvwmrc pl 33 to 34 1. Applied patches from Frederic Devernay a. Improved reading of window and icon names b. improved handling of windows with no class. pl 32 to 33 1. More fixes to move/resize window when using m4. 2. Added Sloppy Focus to FvwmConfig. Made FvwmConfig obtain initial focus mode from fvwm. 3. Add SCREEN macro to fvwmm4. 4. Applied FvwmWinList patches. pl 31 to 32 1. Fixed color specification problem for ForeColor and BackCOlor styles, so things like rgb:rr/gg/bb work again. 2. Made MWMMenus style take effect on the Size/Resize window even when using M4. Color selection of the Size/Resize window is still broken. pl 30 to 31 1. Added patch to make FvwmButtons and FvwmPager accept -0 geometries. 2. Added code to FvwmConfig to make it read in current values for colors and desktop sizes as it starts up. Made it handle case of no more colors in colormap. pl 29 to 30 1. Added color selection to fvwmconfig pl 28 to 29 1. Fixed problem of lost root window key bindings with FvwmM4 2. Minor adjustments to FvwmConfig. Included a makefile. Compiles with Sun's CC now, as well as with g++ pl 27 to 28 1. Patch to FvwmButtons to fix the button-popping out problem. 1. Added FvwmConfig. Requires g++ version 2.6.3 or thereabouts. not automatically built or installed. Do it yourself. pl 26 to 27 1. Minor fix to FvwmScroll affecting handling of window resizes. 2. Fixed core-dump problem (maybe) in pl26 pl 25 to 26 1. Corlormap handling bug fix. 2. Finally, after years and years of saying, "thats not a problem because people shouldn't have windows that small", if fixed the handling of the corner pieces for teeny-tiny windows. pl 24 to 25 1. Incorporated colormap-focus patches 2. Incorporated loads of patches - I have no idea what they do, but at least the following - allow use of ESC key to abort a move/resize - Something about usign pager on B&W display. - stuff for FvwmIconBox - stuff for FvwmWinList pl 23 to 24 1. Man page updates for style function 2. Added stuff to over-ride motif modal dialogs. Makes apps think that mwm is running, but fvwm doesn't handle the modality, so use with care. You have to set the compilation flag: MODALITY_IS_EVIL in configure.h to enable this feature. Netscape users may wish to try this out. pl 22 to 23 1. Applied patches to FvwmIconBox and FvwmWinList. pl 21 to 22 1. Applied patch to fix up multi-screen support a little. 2. Changed some strcasecmp calls to mystrcasecmp. 3. Other stuff, can't remember what! (bug fixes) pl 20 to 21 1. Little bug-fix with motif-pop-up/pull-down menus and window focus 2. Applied FvwmIconBox patch. 3. Applied FvwmButtons patch to let you activate with a key press (return key) instead of mouse button. 4. Re-worked the forking process for multi-screen displays. Can't test it, maybe someone can fix it now. pl 19 to 20. 1. Fixed resize buglet 2. applied FvwmIconBox patch pl 18 to 19. 1. Not much pl 17 to 18 1. Fixed loss of key bindings on root window 2. Fixed compile error in Picture.c pl 16 to 17 1. Applied patch to FvwmAudio. 2. Allow menu-pixmaps to be above or to the left of menu labels, or both. 3. Adjusted resize behavior for windows whose aspect ratio had max == min. Behavior was a little weird before. 4. Added built-in KillModule 5. Some changes to allow evil, poorly designed override-redirect windows to install their own colormaps. This abuse of override redirect windows is primarily used by WABI, but a few others too, I guess. This change is fairly fundamental, and could cause problems. Also, if WABI comes up with a private colormap, it is given control of the colormap immediately, since it thinks that it should have focus. pl 15 to 16 1. Applied patch to make menu short cuts work 2. Made this menu config work as expected: "*xcalc.xpm*" Exec exec xcalc & 3. Restored ability to insert blank lines in menus, not just separators. 4. Allow bitmaps in menus as well as xpm's pl 14 to 15 1. Added option to put pixmaps in menus. Modify your menu labels like so: was: + "Calculator" Exec exec xcalc & is + "Calculator*xcalc.xpm*" Exec exec xcalc & pretty kool, man! pl 13 to pl 14 1. Assorted minor bug patches. pl 12 to pl 13 1. Applied patches A. Something about XSetIOErrorHandler. Doesn`t seem to hurt, but I don't know what it does. 2. Patches for FvwmIconBox. Nobutaka Suzuki has been working hard on this top-notch module, and seems to be working to integrate it more tightly with fvwm itself. The latest patches let the IconBox read the Icon pixmap names from fvwm. Icons are only shown in the IconBox if the NoIcon style is applied. Is this right? To get something in the icon-box, you can use Style "XTerm" Icon xterm.xpm, NoIcon 1. Added FvwmForm module. It looks like its for 1.24r, but seems to work with Fvwm-2. 2. Tried to add Tom Feng's GoodStuff patches, but they are incompatible with other changes. pl 11 to pl 12 1. Really fixed that memory problem in builtins.c this time. 2. Fixed the inverting shading of the maximize button if MWMButtons is used. pl 10 to pl 11 1. Fixed some references to already freed memory areas, specifically related to FocusOnNextTimeStamp and Scr.Ungrabbed. Only affected click-to-focus, and only soon after destroying a window. 2. Plugged a memory leak (?) in builtins.c. Watch out, maybe I broke something instead of fixing it. Not sure. pl 9 to pl 10 1. Fixed double click on title-button 1 problem. It used to work, but only if the mouse was not moved at all. Now, 3 pixels of mouse movement are allowed, and the double-click action will still be performed. After 3 pixels, the double click action is aborted. 2. Fixed problem with focus in focus-follows-mouse mode, when changing desks. Some click-to-focus person sent in a patch which caused focus to be returned to the last window that had focus on desk N, when you switch to desk N. That was fine, but if there was no such window, focus went to a sticky window. That was bad. You see, I'm focus-follows-mouse, but I make most of my sticky windows click-to-focus (ie pager), because I really don't want it to get the focus. The above patch made the sticky window get focus when switching desks, when I really wanted the root window to get the focus (for keyboard activated menus, etc). 3. Added a DestroyMenu function. pl 8 to 9 1. Fixed misc bugs. A. Menus popped up in wrong place when NoButton style was used. B. Title bar would look pressed in if you moved out of it by key presses. 2. Added #define SCREEN 0 (or whatever) for fvwmcpp. 3. Applied patch to FvwmIconBox. pl7 to 8 1. Fixed (probably) some unwanted free()s in the code. These caused core dumps on some machines. pl6 to 7: 1. Fixed IconBox style 2. Fixed (?) FvwmM4 problem with not executing InitFunction & restartfunction, etc 3. Fixed FvwmIdent module (Sticky, Ontop, Iconified, etc). 4. Fixed StickyIcon style. 5. Fixed FvwmWinList pl 5 to 6 1. Applied patch to FvwmAudio 2. Applied patch to FvwmIconBox 3. Got patch for m4 handling, didn't do anything. 4. applied FvwmPager patch to eliminate flicker when selecting a window on the current page. pl4 to 5 1. Fixed FvwmM4 again. pl3 to 4 1. Fixed FvwmM4. pl2 to 3 1. Removed an unnecessary debugging printf 2. Fixed FvwmBanner 3. switched vfork back to fork, since some people apparantly don't have vfork. 4. Changed the name of system.fvwmrc to .fvwmrc because its easier to handle within the program. Modified documentation and the install stuff in the Imakefile 5. Fiddled with time-stamp stuff a bit, so that maybe when people change their system clocks, it won't cause everything to stop. 6. Fixed a cause of core-dumps in the Next, Prev, None commands. pl1 to pl2 1. Assorted trivial bug fixes. Maybe something important too, I forgot. 2.0 pl 1: 1. Switched from fork() to vfork() in two places. Its supposed to be better when you're only doing an exec anyway. 2. Made fvwm parse out module arguments in a more standard way. see documentation/modules.tex for more details. 3. Added FvwmM4 module. See its man page. 4. Added FvwmCpp module. 2.0 The beginning of time.
