Dogcows Code - chaz/openbox/blob - CHANGELOG

   1 3.5:
   2   * Changed theme format to xml, use the included themetoxml program to convert
   3     themes to the new format.
   4
   5 3.4:
   6   * Fixed several bugs, including the hanging of X when time is set backwards.
   7   * Support windows with 32-bit visuals, this means xcompmgr and friends
   8     works with openbox.
   9   * Using pango is now mandatory.
  10   * Better support for startup notification and added support for focus
  11     stealing prevention. For apps you launch from Openbox you can add
  12     <startupnotify><enabled>yes</enabled></startupnotify> to your action
  13     tags.
  14   * Add MoveFromEdge* actions corresponding to MoveToEdge* but aligns far
  15     edges instead of near edges, so if you have two overlapping windows you
  16     can easily put them side by side.
  17   * (xinerama) Make all placement strategies place windows on the screen with
  18     the mouse pointer, not just UnderMouse.
  19   * Fonts are now configured in rc.xml, not the theme.
  20   * You can now call `openbox --reconfigure' to have openbox reread config
  21     files instead of using killall -USR2 openbox.
  22
  23 3.3.1:
  24   * Fix panels getting a border with keepBorder turned on.
  25   * Fix a crash in mirrorhorizontal when drawing a surface with width 1.
  26
  27 3.3:
  28   * Add a showDelay option for the dock.
  29   * Fixed onscreen-keeping code which broke a bit in -rc2.
  30   * Fix incorrect handling of window properties on 64 bit arches.
  31   * Fix pixelsize being the same as size for pango, now it is correct.
  32   * Fix drawing of icons taller than wide, eg gimp.
  33   * Add a 'mirrorhorizontal' gradient, like horizontal but mirrored in the
  34     center and 'splitvertical' which is like vertical but nonlinear in a fancy
  35     way.
  36   * Translations for de, hr and zh_TW added.
  37   * Add initial per-app settings support.
  38   * Fix some outstanding issues with 64-bit support.
  39   * Add an optional delay for displaying submenus so you can move the mouse
  40     over some entries without flashing each submenu.
  41   * Plug some minor memleaks and fix minor bugs.
  42   * Changed algorithm for downscaling window icons.
  43   * New themes!
  44   * Disable support for libstartup-notification by default, it doesn't seem
  45     to work well.
  46   * Allow disabling of duplicate window numbering by option titleNumber in
  47     theme section.
  48   * Add moverelative and resizerelative actions.
  49   * Option middle for menus that make submenus be centered instead of aligned
  50     by the top edge to the parent entry.
  51   * Fix transient (ie dialog) windows being placed offscreen if the parent
  52     is close to the edge of the screen.
  53
  54 3.3-rc2:
  55   * Fixed some typos and errors in rc.xsd
  56   * Add the noStrut option to the dock (to allow maximizing windows over it),
  57     useful when it is not in the above layer.
  58   * Fix transparent terminals not updating when using ToggleDecor.
  59   * Yet more poking at the onscreen-keeping code, should now do the right
  60     thing always.
  61   * Add an option to hide disabled buttons instead of showing them as disabled.
  62   * Hopefully fixed all the remaining pango issues. The new 1.10 release also
  63     fixes shadows again.
  64   * I think the lib linking in Makefile.am is right now, please tell me if it
  65     isn't.
  66   * Added a finnish translation and some minor updates to others.
  67   * Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
  68     other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
  69
  70 3.3-rc1:
  71   * Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
  72     are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
  73   * Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
  74     breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
  75     here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
  76     to be fixed.
  77   * Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
  78     the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
  79   * Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
  80   * Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
  81     linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
  82     anyway, just move the mouse.
  83   * Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
  84     options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
  85     window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
  86   * Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
  87     I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.
  88   * Bugs 1783, 1812, 1863, 1905, 2005, 1957 fixed.
  89   * Some translations added. (ca, no, pl, ru, fr)
  90
  91 3.2:
  92   * Added spanish and swedish translations
  93   * Changed "Unnamed Desktop" to "Desktop n" where n is the actual
  94     number of the desktop
  95   * Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
  96   * the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
  97     tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
  98     anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
  99     edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
 100   * Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
 101   * Added probably too many options and actions
 102     * ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
 103       doesn't save it to the config
 104     * keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
 105       toggleDecorations
 106     * added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
 107       move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
 108       popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
 109       Nonpixel (this is the default).
 110     * Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
 111       edge, note that the default is true
 112     * warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
 113       to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
 114       cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
 115     * Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
 116       change desktops and have followMouse on)
 117     * Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
 118       firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
 119       grid to start in the middle.
 120   * I think that was everything, have fun
 121
 122 3.1:
 123         * Added japanese translation (bug #1029)
 124         * Closed bug #1060 (modal unfocused window should be placed above
 125         focused parent)
 126         * Closed bug #1012 (Openbox stalls gnome session startup after

 131         RaiseLower action)
 132         * Closed bug #1007 (use g_snprintf in openbox/session.c instead of
 133         sprintf)
 134         * Closed bug #1001 (gimp crashes openbox)
 135         * Closed bug #1005 (import -frame leaves windows in a temporary
 136         "on top" state)
 137         * Closed bug #881 (Programs started with X become zombies upon
 138         shutdown.)
 139         * Closed bug #1025 (desktopnext/previous and desktopleft/right dont
 140         quite get along)
 141
 142 3.0:

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

 217         * Closed bug #907 (window focus is not properly indicated)
 218         * Added a focus indicator during focus cycling that is always visible

 230

 233         * Added the <moveButton> option for moving dock apps around inside the
 234         dock. (Closes bug #798)
 235         * Made the "Desktop" action show the pager/desktop dialog
 236         * Add the <dialog> option to the Desktop and Focus switching actions

 253         * Closed bug #874 (libtool won't install libobrender.la)
 254         * Launch ObConf when selecting GNOME's Desktop Preferences for Windows
 255         * Focus new children always if their direct parent is focused
