For the record the binary is roughly 100k + larger than 0.62.0 and that is mostly due to the STL but there is also a + fair bit of new code. However for the most part blackbox runs faster and + is still one of the leanest window managers out there today. + - bsetroot now sets _XROOTPMAP_ID, so pseudo transparent apps will be happy + - beginnings of a strut implementation. toolbar and slit are removed from + the available screen area if 'full maximize' is not set + - XReparentWindow sends an UnmapNotify to the window manager however + in certain cases the window is already unmapped so the window manager + never gets the event and the unmapNotify event is where reparentNotify was + handled. Added a reparentNotifyEvent handler in the BlackboxWindow class + and a new case in the Blackbox class's process_event function. + - no more blackbox->grab/ungrab calls everywhere + - compression of motion and expose + - Now we have one function which turns ~/ into /home/user/. This is now + called everywhere this expansion should be done. Even added this to the + resource.menu_file so now the menu file may be specified as + ~/blackbox_menu. + - added a TimerQueue which is a priority_queue with the ability to release + items it contains before they reach the top of the queue. Also added a + TimerQueueManager protocol class which BaseDisplay now inherits from. + - BTimer now defaults to NOT recurring. Most of the timers in blackbox were + one shots so I saw little benefit in defaulting to repeating timers. + - update transient handling, should solve issues with apps like acroread. + added a getTransientInfo() method of the BlackboxWindow class which + handles checking the transient state in X and setting the appropriate + variables on the window. To attack the infinite loops this + function ensures that client.transient != this and we check for loops + of the form A -> B -> C -> A. The new transient code also allows for one + window to have multiple transients so applications like xmms and web + browsers are better behaved. + - even better ICCCM support and focus handling + - wmswallow works + - fix for clock clipping in the toolbar + - better support for non decorated windows and toggling decor + - the geometry window shown when moving or resizing a window now handles the + parentrelative setting better. parentrelative support has been improved + for all of the other widgets as well. + - better window group handling + - improved edge snap support (still no window to window snapping) + - changing preferences no longer leads to windows being raised + - the window's "send to" menu ignores the current workspace, which is a + better UI approach + - new placeWindow algorithm. Blows the old one out of the water. Not only + is it faster but it is also cleaner code too (-: Went from number 5 in + the profiling results to under 30. Image rendering is now the slowest + part of managing of new windows. + Because of the new code layout, support is now there for new and + different layout options but this will wait for after 0.65.0. + - smart window placement ignores shaded windows now + - new option in the Config menu which allows Scroll Lock to disable + Blackbox's keybindings. + Changes from 0.62.0 to 0.62.1: - the lock modifier code handles user redefined modifiers better - check if the locale actually needs multibyte support before using multibyte
