-- ChangeLog for Blackbox 0.70.x
Changes from 0.70.0 to 0.70.1:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- fix compilation on OpenBSD and Mac OS X
- documentation updates to data/README.menu
- fix bt::Timer to make sure it still works after daylight-savings
changes
- fix horizontal text alignment by adding a small indent to all text
- fix sunken gradient rendering: the colors are no longer inverted,
and the correct bevel is drawn
- add bt::XDG::BaseDir, which is an implementation of the
freedesktop.org basedir-spec version 0.6
- make bt::Pen able to recover from cache faults
- silence messages from bt::PixmapCache about the cache maximum
being exceeded
- add bt::Rect::inside(), which ensures that one rectangle is inside
the other
- fix bt::Resource to do nothing if filename arguments are empty
- fix bt::Resource::merge() to stop overriding existing entries (it
should only add new ones)
- add bt::Texture::textureResource() overload that returns a default
texture if the resource cannot be found
- add bt::dirname(), which returns the directory part of a file path
- add bt::mkdirhier(), which is equivalent to
'mkdir -m mode -p path'
- add bt::tolower(), which returns a string with all characters
lowercase
- add the "Center Placement" window placement policy, which places
all new windows in the center of the screen
- add "Shade Window with Mouse Wheel" and "Toolbar Actions with
Mouse Wheel" configuration options
- add window-to-window snapping support. This feature is off by
default, you need to set session.windowSnapThreshold to a positive
number in your ~/.blackboxrc.
- add support for piped menus. The output of a command can be used
to create the blackbox menu. This is done by prepending the pipe
character, |, to session.menuFile in ~/.blackboxrc or to [include]
filenames.
- [nop] menu entries are now drawn disabled
- fix "Focus Last Window on Workspace" behavior to stop preferring
windows that occupy all workspaces
- window placement takes windows with Desktop and Dialog types into
consideration and does the appropriate thing (instead of placing
them normally)
- remove 1 pixel gaps between windows when doing smart placement
- allow users to override the style's rootCommand in their
~/.blackboxrc
- fix default colors used by blackbox when no style is found
- allow the Toolbar to be raised and lowered with
Alt+LeftMouseButton and Alt+MiddleMouseButton, respectively
- fix maximized+shaded windows from disappearing when restarting
blackbox
- each window's windowmenu can be accessed now with
Mod4+RightMouseButton
- fix fullscreen support to ignore aspect ratios set by applications
(specifically, this should fix movie players that are currently
displaying 16:9 video on a 4:3 screen)
- fix support for _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW, normally sent from pagers
- fix focus problems caused by applications that try to fake
fullscreen by setting focus to an override-redirect window
(e.g. rdekstop)
Changes from 0.65.x to 0.70.0:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a major update resulting from a long development cycle... the
list below is a general list and does not cover all changes in detail.
- introduced a utility library (libbt) for aiding in writing
small blackbox oriented applications
- all menus are now proper popup menus, with keyboard navigation
- complete EWMH support
- Xft support has been added to support anti-aliased fonts
- support for texture borders has been added... any texture can now
have a border of arbitrary width and color
- ~/.blackboxrc is no longer written on exit or restart. Instead it
is written whenever a change is made. This means the rc can be
edited while Blackbox is running (finally).
- support for always-on-top and always-on-bottom has been added
- support for fullscreen windows has been added
- support for all EWMH window types has been added (e.g. desktop
windows, dock windows, dialogs, etc.)
- support for window groups has been added
- support for transient windows has been improved
- it is now possible to completely disable the toolbar
- when the toolbar and slit are no longer in use, they are
destroyed... they will be recreated when needed
- the style file format has changed. a new utility, bstyleconvert,
can be used to convert older 0.65.0 styles to the 0.70.0 format
- the format of ~/.blackboxrc has changed. Blackbox will
automatically convert to the new format.
- both the look and feel have been updated, feedback is encouraged
