Dogcows Code - chaz/openbox/blob - CHANGELOG

   1 3.4:
   2   * Add MoveFromEdge* actions corresponding to MoveToEdge* but aligns far
   3     edges instead of near edges, so if you have two overlapping windows you
   4     can easily put them side by side.
   5   * (xinerama) Make all placement strategies place windows on the screen with
   6     the mouse pointer, not just UnderMouse.
   7   * Fixed several bugs, including the hanging of X when time is set backwards.
   8   * Changed theme format to xml.
   9
  10 3.3.1:
  11   * Fix panels getting a border with keepBorder turned on.
  12   * Fix a crash in mirrorhorizontal when drawing a surface with width 1.
  13
  14 3.3:
  15   * Add a showDelay option for the dock.
  16   * Fixed onscreen-keeping code which broke a bit in -rc2.
  17   * Fix incorrect handling of window properties on 64 bit arches.
  18   * Fix pixelsize being the same as size for pango, now it is correct.
  19   * Fix drawing of icons taller than wide, eg gimp.
  20   * Add a 'mirrorhorizontal' gradient, like horizontal but mirrored in the
  21     center and 'splitvertical' which is like vertical but nonlinear in a fancy
  22     way.
  23   * Translations for de, hr and zh_TW added.
  24   * Add initial per-app settings support.
  25   * Fix some outstanding issues with 64-bit support.
  26   * Add an optional delay for displaying submenus so you can move the mouse
  27     over some entries without flashing each submenu.
  28   * Plug some minor memleaks and fix minor bugs.
  29   * Changed algorithm for downscaling window icons.
  30   * New themes!
  31   * Disable support for libstartup-notification by default, it doesn't seem
  32     to work well.
  33   * Allow disabling of duplicate window numbering by option titleNumber in
  34     theme section.
  35   * Add moverelative and resizerelative actions.
  36   * Option middle for menus that make submenus be centered instead of aligned
  37     by the top edge to the parent entry.
  38   * Fix transient (ie dialog) windows being placed offscreen if the parent
  39     is close to the edge of the screen.
  40
  41 3.3-rc2:
  42   * Fixed some typos and errors in rc.xsd
  43   * Add the noStrut option to the dock (to allow maximizing windows over it),
  44     useful when it is not in the above layer.
  45   * Fix transparent terminals not updating when using ToggleDecor.
  46   * Yet more poking at the onscreen-keeping code, should now do the right
  47     thing always.
  48   * Add an option to hide disabled buttons instead of showing them as disabled.
  49   * Hopefully fixed all the remaining pango issues. The new 1.10 release also
  50     fixes shadows again.
  51   * I think the lib linking in Makefile.am is right now, please tell me if it
  52     isn't.
  53   * Added a finnish translation and some minor updates to others.
  54   * Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
  55     other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
  56
  57 3.3-rc1:
  58   * Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
  59     are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
  60   * Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
  61     breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
  62     here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
  63     to be fixed.
  64   * Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
  65     the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
  66   * Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
  67   * Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
  68     linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
  69     anyway, just move the mouse.
  70   * Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
  71     options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
  72     window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
  73   * Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
  74     I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.
  75   * Bugs 1783, 1812, 1863, 1905, 2005, 1957 fixed.
  76   * Some translations added. (ca, no, pl, ru, fr)
  77
  78 3.2:
  79   * Added spanish and swedish translations
  80   * Changed "Unnamed Desktop" to "Desktop n" where n is the actual
  81     number of the desktop
  82   * Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
  83   * the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
  84     tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
  85     anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
  86     edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
  87   * Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
  88   * Added probably too many options and actions
  89     * ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
  90       doesn't save it to the config
  91     * keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
  92       toggleDecorations
  93     * added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
  94       move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
  95       popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
  96       Nonpixel (this is the default).
  97     * Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
  98       edge, note that the default is true
  99     * warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
 100       to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
 101       cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
 102     * Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
 103       change desktops and have followMouse on)
 104     * Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
 105       firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
 106       grid to start in the middle.
 107   * I think that was everything, have fun
 108
 109 3.1:
 110         * Added japanese translation (bug #1029)
 111         * Closed bug #1060 (modal unfocused window should be placed above
 112         focused parent)
 113         * Closed bug #1012 (Openbox stalls gnome session startup after

 118         RaiseLower action)
 119         * Closed bug #1007 (use g_snprintf in openbox/session.c instead of
 120         sprintf)
 121         * Closed bug #1001 (gimp crashes openbox)
 122         * Closed bug #1005 (import -frame leaves windows in a temporary
 123         "on top" state)
 124         * Closed bug #881 (Programs started with X become zombies upon
 125         shutdown.)
 126         * Closed bug #1025 (desktopnext/previous and desktopleft/right dont
 127         quite get along)
 128

 182         * Allow focus to be moved around by clients (for WM_TAKE_FOCUS to
 183         work as it is meant to). This means fullscreen apps like wine and

 198         window types
 199         * Closed bug #902 (Openbox raises gDesklets when clicked). This has the
 200         side effect that panels which do not set the ABOVE state (most panels
 201         curerntly around) will no longer be kept always on top. You can set the
 202         ABOVE state yourself by using the client menu (Alt-RightClick in the

 217

 220         * Added the <moveButton> option for moving dock apps around inside the
 221         dock. (Closes bug #798)

 223         * Add the <dialog> option to the Desktop and Focus switching actions

 239         by external applications
 240         * Closed bug #874 (libtool won't install libobrender.la)
 241         * Launch ObConf when selecting GNOME's Desktop Preferences for Windows
 242         * Focus new children always if their direct parent is focused
