-Changelog for Openbox:
-
-2.0.1:
- * Fix SendTo menus. They would keep workspaces that
- had been deleted. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * Fixes for workspace switching. Putting old code (Ben Jansens)
- back.
-
- * Fixes for workspace warping. Window and mouse would (Ben Jansens)
- move slightly out of sync, as one motion event would
- get dropped. Other windows could also be selected
- for moving during the warp. Now everything works as
- expected.
-
- * Better workspace changing for sticky windows, don't (Jason Kasper)
- unmap/remap them, causing them to flicker. But keep
- sloppy focus working right still.
-
- * Fixed Sloppy Focus-Auto Raise bug, as exibited by (Ben Jansens)
- fullscreen SDL applications. A frame window would
- be raised over the app.
-
- * Enforce windows' functionality, so that windows that (Ben Jansens)
- aren't suppoosed to be able to perform actions, such
- as iconify, can't end up being iconified anyhow.
- (Fixes the "Desktop Access" feature in KDE.)
-
- * Fix window gravity handling for an application
- resizing (ConfigureRequest event for resize only). (Ben Jansens)
-
- * Fix support for the Shape extension. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * Fix for recognizing kde systray windows unmapping. (Ben Jansens)
-
-2.0.0:
- * Add an rc option (modiferMask) to allow changing (Ben Jansens)
- which modifier combo Openbox uses for mouse
- interation with windows.
-
- * Add an rc option (rootScrollDirection) to specify (Ben Jansens)
- the direction the workspaces scroll when using the
- mouse wheel on the root window.
-
- * Add a new checkmark pixmap in the menus to denote (Ben Jansens)
- selected items, instead of the old colored box.
-
- * Add "workspace warping" while moving a window. (Grab (Ben Jansens)
- a window and move it past the edge of the screen, so
- that your mouse pointer hits the edge, and you'll
- flip to the next workspace.
-
- * Add options intheconfig menu for ignoring shaded and (Ben Jansens)
- full-maximized windows when placing new windows.
-
- * Style extension for flatborder texture type. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * Add a window-snapping offset (edgeSnapOffset in the (Ben Jansens)
- rc file).
-
- * Window resistance snapping (specified with (Ben Jansens)
- windowToWindowSnap and windowToEdgeSnap in the rc
- file).
-
- * Sticky windows appear in the workspace menus (Ben Jansens)
- for all workspaces, and generally behave like
- a normal window, except appearing on all
- workspaces.
-
- * Xft font support for styles. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * Xinerama support for window placement, maximization, (Ben Jansens)
- and snapping.
-
- * NETWM/EWMH Support. (Scott Moynes and
- Ben Jansens)
-
- * KDE 3 Support. (Scott Moynes and
- Ben Jansens)
-
- * window zone resizing (specified by resizeZones in (Ben Jansens)
- the rc file). Allows you to resize a window in 2
- halves or 4 quarters.
-
- * Allow any style settings to be placed in the rc (Ben Jansens)
- file, where they will override all styles
- (especially useful for the rootCommand or fonts).
-
- * Makes the ~/.openbox dir for you if it doesn't (Ben Jansens)
- exist.
-
- * Window-to-window snapping (including corner (Ben Jansens)
- snapping!).
-
- * Properly save/restore your menu position when (Ben Jansens)
- Openbox reconfigures (e.g. when changing
- styles).
-
- * Disable the current workspace in the send-to menu. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * Added UnderMouse window placement algorithm/type. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * Added ClickMouse window placement algorithm/type. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * Added a runtime option for hiding the toolbar. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * Custom ordering of windows' titlebar elements with (Ben Jansens)
- a titlebarLayout option added to the rc file.
-
- * Rolling the mouse wheel on a window's title bar will (Ben Jansens)
- shade/unshade the window. rolling the mouse wheel on
- the root window will change workspaces.
-
- * Better handling of the rc file and its configuration (Ben Jansens)
- options. The file is written each time an option in
- the file is changed, instead of being written at
- shutdown. This means that you can edit the file by
- hand while in Openbox, and then choose reconfig or
- restart to have it use the new rc file.
-
- * Changed the default configuration file from (Ben Jansens)
- ~/.blackboxrc to ~/.openbox/rc.
-
- * Changed the menu from an rcfile option to a (Ben Jansens)
- command-line option. use 'openbox -menu ' to select
- an alternate menu. The default menu used is
- ~/.openbox/menu. If the default, or the file you
- specify does not exist, the global menu is tried.
- And if the global menu also does not exist, a
- simple, internal menu is used instead.
\ No newline at end of file
+3.5:
+ * Changed theme format to xml, use the included themetoxml program to convert
+ themes to the new format.
+
+3.4:
+ * Fixed several bugs, including the hanging of X when time is set backwards.
+ * Support windows with 32-bit visuals, this means xcompmgr and friends
+ works with openbox.
+ * Using pango is now mandatory.
+ * Better support for startup notification and added support for focus
+ stealing prevention. For apps you launch from Openbox you can add
+ <startupnotify><enabled>yes</enabled></startupnotify> to your action
+ tags.
+ * Add MoveFromEdge* actions corresponding to MoveToEdge* but aligns far
+ edges instead of near edges, so if you have two overlapping windows you
+ can easily put them side by side.
+ * (xinerama) Make all placement strategies place windows on the screen with
+ the mouse pointer, not just UnderMouse.
+ * Fonts are now configured in rc.xml, not the theme.
+ * You can now call `openbox --reconfigure' to have openbox reread config
+ files instead of using killall -USR2 openbox.
+
+3.3.1:
+ * Fix panels getting a border with keepBorder turned on.
+ * Fix a crash in mirrorhorizontal when drawing a surface with width 1.
+
+3.3:
+ * Add a showDelay option for the dock.
+ * Fixed onscreen-keeping code which broke a bit in -rc2.
+ * Fix incorrect handling of window properties on 64 bit arches.
+ * Fix pixelsize being the same as size for pango, now it is correct.
+ * Fix drawing of icons taller than wide, eg gimp.
+ * Add a 'mirrorhorizontal' gradient, like horizontal but mirrored in the
+ center and 'splitvertical' which is like vertical but nonlinear in a fancy
+ way.
+ * Translations for de, hr and zh_TW added.
+ * Add initial per-app settings support.
+ * Fix some outstanding issues with 64-bit support.
+ * Add an optional delay for displaying submenus so you can move the mouse
+ over some entries without flashing each submenu.
+ * Plug some minor memleaks and fix minor bugs.
+ * Changed algorithm for downscaling window icons.
+ * New themes!
+ * Disable support for libstartup-notification by default, it doesn't seem
+ to work well.
+ * Allow disabling of duplicate window numbering by option titleNumber in
+ theme section.
+ * Add moverelative and resizerelative actions.
+ * Option middle for menus that make submenus be centered instead of aligned
+ by the top edge to the parent entry.
+ * Fix transient (ie dialog) windows being placed offscreen if the parent
+ is close to the edge of the screen.
+
+3.3-rc2:
+ * Fixed some typos and errors in rc.xsd
+ * Add the noStrut option to the dock (to allow maximizing windows over it),
+ useful when it is not in the above layer.
+ * Fix transparent terminals not updating when using ToggleDecor.
+ * Yet more poking at the onscreen-keeping code, should now do the right
+ thing always.
+ * Add an option to hide disabled buttons instead of showing them as disabled.
+ * Hopefully fixed all the remaining pango issues. The new 1.10 release also
+ fixes shadows again.
+ * I think the lib linking in Makefile.am is right now, please tell me if it
+ isn't.
+ * Added a finnish translation and some minor updates to others.
+ * Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
+ other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
+
+3.3-rc1:
+ * Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
+ are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
+ * Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
+ breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
+ here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
+ to be fixed.
+ * Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
+ the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
+ * Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
+ * Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
+ linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
+ anyway, just move the mouse.
+ * Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
+ options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
+ window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
+ * Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
+ I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.
+ * Bugs 1783, 1812, 1863, 1905, 2005, 1957 fixed.
+ * Some translations added. (ca, no, pl, ru, fr)
+
+3.2:
+ * Added spanish and swedish translations
+ * Changed "Unnamed Desktop" to "Desktop n" where n is the actual
+ number of the desktop
+ * Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
+ * the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
+ tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
+ anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
+ edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
+ * Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
+ * Added probably too many options and actions
+ * ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
+ doesn't save it to the config
+ * keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
+ toggleDecorations
+ * added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
+ move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
+ popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
+ Nonpixel (this is the default).
+ * Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
+ edge, note that the default is true
+ * warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
+ to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
+ cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
+ * Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
+ change desktops and have followMouse on)
+ * Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
+ firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
+ grid to start in the middle.
+ * I think that was everything, have fun
+
