1 Changes since wmaker 0.65.0:
2 ............................
4 - fixed problem with WINGs based apps exiting with a "X_RotateProperties"
5 related error when text was selected in a textfiled.
6 - moved wstrdup(), wstrconcat() and wstrappend() from memory.c to string.c
7 - added property list handling code making libPropList unnecessary and
8 obsolete. Backward compatibility is provided through the
9 WINGs/proplist-compat.h header file which has #defines from old libPropList
10 function names to new function names with minimal changes. Read this
11 header file and the NEWS file for more details about this subject.
12 - Renamed WMGetUDAllKeys() to WMGetUDKeys()
15 Changes since wmaker 0.64.0:
16 ............................
18 - made programmatic scroller changes send notifications
19 - replaced WMSetBoxExpandsToParent with WMSetViewExpands...
20 - added WMGetLabelFont()
21 - added WMAddPersistentTimerHandler()
22 - Moved all internal handlers (timer, idle and input) to handlers.c
23 - simplified wevent.c and wutil.c.
24 - fixed handling of input with poll (was broken)
25 - fixed mem leak that occured when input handling was done with poll
26 - simpler and more straightforward event handling for timer, idle, input
27 and X events (also fixed some problems the old handling logic had)
28 - moved timer, idle and input handler definitions and prototypes from
29 WINGs.h to WUtil.h because they're not GUI related.
30 - better and more robust handling of events (timer, idle, input, X) in
31 WMMaskEvent(). Also fixed a bug where input and timer events were not
32 treated for undefined periods of time under some circumstances.
33 - fixed secure textfields not to allow text selection, to avoid compromising
34 sensitive information by pasting it to a terminal.
35 - replaced wmkrange(), wmkpoint() and wmksize() functions with macros.
36 - added WMRemoveFromArrayMatching(array, match, cdata), which will remove the
37 first element in the array that is matched by match(item, cdata)==True.
38 - added WMArrayFirst(), WMArrayLast(), WMArrayNext() and WMArrayPrevious()
39 functions and also WM_ITERATE_ARRAY() and WM_ETARETI_ARRAY() macros, to make
40 interfaces to WMBag and WMArray similar and to make life a little simpler
41 when iterating through all elements of an array.
42 - replaced bags with arrays wherever appropriate. This will improve
44 - replaced some recursive code with iterative code in selection.c
45 - added WMCreateBlendedPixmapFromRImage()
47 1. Renamed WMSetApplicationIconImage(), WMGetApplicationIconImage() and
48 WMSetWindowMiniwindowImage() to respectively WMSetApplicationIconPixmap(),
49 WMGetApplicationIconPixmap() and WMSetWindowMiniwindowPixmap()
50 They operate on a WMPixmap which is practically an X Pixmap with no alpha
51 channel information and the new name is more suggestive and also leaves
52 room for the new functions added for operating on images with alpha info.
53 2. Added WMSetApplicationIconImage() and WMGetApplicationIconImage() which
54 operate on an RImage and store alpha information too.
55 3. Added WMCreateApplicationIconBlendedPixmap() which will take the image
56 set by WMSetApplicationIconImage() and will combine it with a color.
57 If color is NULL it will blend using the default panel color (#aeaaae)
58 All these changes will allow WINGs to handle images with alpha blending
59 correctly in panels and wherever else needed. More about in NEWS.
60 - updated panels to use the newly available RImages if present and fallback
61 to old WMPixmaps if not, to properly show alpha blended images.
62 - replaced some still left malloc's with wmalloc's.
63 - fixed a bug in WMReparentWidget()
64 - added WMReparentWidget() to WINGs.h
65 - fixed a bug that made the scroller knob jump backwards when dragged (this
66 bug had no relation with the behavior that #define STRICT_NEXT_BEHAVIOUR
67 attempts to accomplish).
68 - fixed scrolling direction with mouse wheel for horizontal scroller.
71 changes since wmaker 0.63.1:
72 ............................
73 - added WMRunModalLoop() and WMBreakModalLoop()
74 - added WMSetBoxExpandsToParent()
75 - added WMRemoveBoxSubview()
76 - moved WINGs headers in a WINGs subdirectory when installed.
77 use #include <WINGs/header_file_name> in your application from now on.
78 Also updated get-{wings|wutil}-flags.
79 - Fixed a mem leak in WMList.
80 - Fixed a bug that caused sigsegv for a WMList with more than 32767 items.
81 - Added an example of how to create a server type program with WMConnection.
82 - added WMOpenScreen()
85 changes since wmaker 0.62.1:
86 ............................
88 - added WText widget (rtf multiline text widget)
89 Nwanua Elumeze <nwanua@colorado.edu>
90 - added a new AUTO option for the UseMultiByte option
91 - added WMRaiseWidget()/WMLowerWidget()
92 - added missing EscapeTextMovement to textfield delegate/notification
93 - added WMGetLabelText()
94 - added WMReparentWidget()
95 - added WMCreateTabViewItem()
96 - added W_CreateUnmanagedTopView()
97 - added wtokenjoin(), wtokensplit(), wtokenfree(), wtrimspace()
98 - added WMWidgetIsMapped()
99 - added WMSetApplicationIconWindow()
100 - restructured the directory tree. Added Documentation, Examples and Tests
102 - removed WMArrayBag and reorganized WMTreeBag to be WMBag.
103 - added WMArray class.
104 - added WMSetWindowUserPosition()
105 - added WMGetListSelectedItems()
106 - added WMSetListAllowMultipleSelection(), WMListAllowsMultipleSelection().
107 - added WMSetListAllowEmptySelection(), WMListAllowsEmptySelection().
108 - WMListSelectionDidChangeNotification passes NULL as the notification
109 client data (previously passed the selected item row).
110 - added WMUnselectListItem(), WMSelectAllListItems(), WMUnselectAllListItems()
111 - better behavior of wheel mices in WMList. Simple mouse wheel events
112 will scroll by 1/3 of the WMList height. Using Shift as a modifier will
113 scroll line by line, while using Control as a modifier will scroll page
115 - better behavior of WMScroller regarding mouse wheel events. 'Shift' modifier
116 will scroll line by line, while 'Control' modifier will scroll page by page.
117 - fixed some buffer overflow allowing bugs.
118 - added WSDecrementWheel and WSIncrementWheel for handling mouse wheel in
119 scrollers and scrolled widgets. This should be treated like the WSxxxPage
120 counterparts, except it should scroll by page_size/3 instead of one full page
121 - added WMSetBrowserAllowMultipleSelection(), WMSetBrowserAllowEmptySelection()
122 WMBrowserAllowsMultipleSelection() and WMBrowserAllowsEmptySelection()
123 - WMBrowser now allows multiple selections.
124 - Added WMGetBrowserPaths() to retrieve the paths for browsers that allow
126 - WMDestroyWidget() now calls WMUnmapWidget() first
127 - added WMScrollerDidScrollNotification to scroller
128 - added WMGetScrollViewVisibleRect()
129 - fixed a mem leak in the browser code.
130 - renamed wstrappend() to wstrconcat(). wstrconcat(str1, str2) concatenates
131 str1 with str2 and returns that in a newly malloc'ed string.
132 Be sure to rename wstrappend with wstrconcat in your code too, else
133 hazardous things can happen!
134 - implemented a new wstrappend() function. wstrappend(dst, src) will append
135 src to dst modifing dst and returning a pointer to it. No new string is
136 generated, except if dst is NULL, in which case its the same as calling
138 dst can ONLY be NULL or a dynamically allocated string (obtained from a
139 call to malloc, realloc, wmalloc, wrealloc, ...). dst CANNOT be a static
140 or a constant string!
141 - added wmessage() for printing a variable formatted string to stderr, with
142 the program name prepended to it. Similar to wwarning(), except that it
143 doesn't add "warning:" in the output message.
145 - added WMAddTabViewItemWithView()
146 - added W_SetViewCursor()
147 - made Extra widgets library
148 - added table widget in Extras library
149 - added WMGetConnectionUnsentData() (WMGetConnectionQueuedData() too as an
151 - added WMSetConnectionCloseOnExec() to specify if the socket associated
152 with a connection survives an exec* call or not. When a new connection is
153 created using the WMCreate... or WMAcceptConnection() calls, it has the
154 close on exec flag set automatically to 'True' by the library. Unless
155 you want to let the socket of some connection to survive across an exec*
156 call, you need not to call this function.
157 - removed all the wsyserror() and wwarning() calls from host.c and
158 connection.c and replaced where appropriate with assertions. If a function
159 returns some invalid result, you can still get the system error message if
160 you need, by calling wsyserrorwithcode() and passing WCErrorCode, if
161 WCErrorCode > 0. If WCErrorCode==0, that is not a system error, and
162 wsyserrorwithcode() should not be called in this case.
163 - added WMNextHashEnumeratorKey() to retrieve all keys in some hash enumerator
165 - fixed a bug with mouse wheels scrolling in scrollers even with the widget
167 - Fixed a memory leak (the destroy function for a view was never called and
168 as a result the shaded windows didn't go away when closed. The non-shaded
169 windows were unmapped on close but not destroyed either so they only
170 apparently went away, but continued to use memory).
174 changes since wmaker 0.62.0:
175 ............................
176 - added WMSetWidgetDefaultFont(), WMSetWidgetDefaultBoldFont()
180 changes since wmaker 0.62.0:
181 ............................

183 - added drag and drop
184 - changed selection code
185 - added clientdata to WMFindInBag
186 - removed SetWindowInitialSize()
187 - added SetWindowAspectRatio()
188 - added initial timeout when establishing a connection.
189 - added WMSetConnectionDefaultTimeout() and WMSetConnectionOpenTimeout();
190 - added WMGetConnectionTimeoutState()
192 changes since wmaker 0.61.1:
193 ............................
195 - WARNING: semantic of bags has changed!
196 An index assigned to an item will always keep that index unless
197 you insert an item before it.
201 WMSetInBag(bag, 10, "bla");
202 That code will put "bla" in index 10, instead of 0, as it used to be.
203 - fixed WMInsertInBag(). It ignored index, and always put the new item at end.
204 - added WMSaveUserDefaults().
205 - rewrote WMPopUpButton to use WMMenuItem
206 - added WMGetPopUpButtonMenuItem(WMPopUpButton *bPtr, int index)
207 - WMSortListItemsWithComparer(WMList *lPtr, (int)(f)(const void*, const void*))
208 - WMSortBrowserColumnWithComparer()
209 - fixed bug with sorting list items.
210 - fixed bug in handling keyboard input associated with selection and
211 notification sending.
212 - filepanel puts dirs on top of list (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
213 - added WMReplaceInBag (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
214 - added vertical views and multiple views in WMSplitView (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
215 - changed values of parameter values of WMSplitViewConstrainProc()
216 - configurable default fontsize patch (Igor P. Roboul <igor@mordor.myip.org>)
217 - fixed a bug that crashed the programm when a popup button was scrolled.
218 - fixed a bug that caused incorrect drawing position of the popup indicator.
219 - fixed a bug that prevented selecting no item (-1) in a popup button.
220 - an assertion will be raised if the program tries to select a popup button
221 item that is beyond the total number of items present in the popup button.
222 - changed names of functions for SplitView to be consistent. Some contained
223 SubView while other Subview. Now all have Subview.
224 - fixed a bug in how input events were posted. Establishing 2 or more input
225 handlers for the same file descriptor, handling different (read/write/except)
226 events, caused wrong handlers to be called.
227 - Reimplemented the input and idle handlers with WMBag to avoid a functional
228 problem with them: inability to remove handlers next to the called one, from
229 the called handler itself. Trying to do this with the old version caused the
231 - changed wrealloc behaviour to be like this: new = wrealloc(old, new_size);
232 1. if old is NULL, return wmalloc(new_size).
233 2. if new_size is 0, call wfree(old), and return NULL.
234 3. if both old is a valid pointer and new_size>0, call realloc.
235 - added wstrerror(int errnum) to return the string associated with errnum.
236 - new wsyserrorwithcode(int error, const char* fmt, ...), similar to
237 wsyserror(), but printing the message for the specified error code.
238 - added 3 new classes: WMData, WMHost and WMConnection
239 - fixed a big memory leak in the color panel code (from Pascal Hofstee).
240 - added scrolling to tabview
242 changes since wmaker 0.61.0:
243 ............................
245 - added WMGetTextFieldFont()
246 - escape key in panels (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
247 - applied patch with fixes and enhancements to textfield
248 (Franck Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
249 - changed WMList to use WMBag internally, instead of a linked list
250 - replaced WMAddSortedListItem() with WMSortListItems()
251 - replaced WMAddSortedBrowserItem() with WMSortBrowserColumn()
253 changes since wmaker 0.60.0:
254 ............................
256 - added WMScreenWidth() and WMScreenHeight() functions.
257 - fixed some problems when compiling with non gcc compilers.
258 - added WMSetTextFieldFont()
259 - added WMSetButtonImageDefault() (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
260 - added WMBag (array/list)
261 - added libWUtil, a library that is a subset of libWINGs. It contains utils
262 that can be used in writing non-GUI programs. They include: hashes,
263 notifications, input/idle/timer handlers, user defaults database handling,
264 memory handling, application resource handling, etc.
265 All the non-GUI stuff from libWINGs is present.
266 Still linWINGs contain all this stuff so if you use libWINGs, you don't
267 need to link against libWUtil too.
268 One notable aspect of libWUtil is that it has a modified version of the
269 event handling function. It is named WHandleEvents() and will handle all
270 input/idle/timer events the app has.
271 If your app has a permanent input handler (as for example a socket a server
272 is listening on), then the main loop of the app can be:
276 but if there is no permanent input handler, you need to add some delay to
277 avoid a too high cpu load by your program:
282 A permanent input handler is one that is established when the program starts
283 and is present until the program exits.
284 One that is deleted and later reinstalled, is not considered permanent.
285 This difference is because if there is some input handler, the function will
286 block until some event appears, while if there is no input handler the
287 function will return almost immediately (after handling the timer/idle
290 Except the stuff declared in WUtil.h, the following functions declared in
291 WINGs.h are also present in libWUtil (you will need to #include <WINGs.h>
292 if you use one of these):
293 WMInitializeApplication(char *applicationName, int *argc, char **argv);
294 WMSetResourcePath(char *path);
295 WMGetApplicationName();
296 WMPathForResourceOfType(char *resource, char *ext);
297 WMAddTimerHandler(int milliseconds, WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
298 WMDeleteTimerWithClientData(void *cdata);
299 WMDeleteTimerHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
300 WMAddIdleHandler(WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
301 WMDeleteIdleHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
302 WMAddInputHandler(int fd, int condition, WMInputProc *proc,
304 WMDeleteInputHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
305 - added progress indicator widget
306 - Changed WMSetWindowUPosition() and WMSetWindowUSize() to
307 WMSetWindowInitialPosition() and WMSetWindowInitialSize() respectively,
308 for better naming conventions.
311 changes since wmaker 0.53.0:
312 ............................
315 - fixed a bug with setting initial path in browsers.
316 - added WMSetButtonImageDimsWhenDisabled()
317 - changed simple callback/notifications to delegate-like stuff. Affected
320 - WMSetBrowserFillProc() was replaced with WMSetBrowserDelegate
321 - WMBrowserDidScrollNotification was replaced with a delegate callback
323 WMTextField (not completed yet)
324 The notifications will still work, but using the delegate is preferable
326 How to convert old code to delegate callbacks:
327 1 - create a variable (static or dynamic) of the type of the
328 delegate for the widget type.
329 2 - Replace the notification observers with the equivalent
331 3 - Put pointers to the callbacks in the delegate variable.
333 Take a look in wfilepanel.c to see how it is used there.
335 - changed W_ViewProcedureTable to delegates
336 This will only affect user created widgets. If you have a custom
337 widget, you will need to update the callbacks and the declaration
338 of the W_ViewProcedureTable variable to be a W_ViewDelegate,
339 which is declared in WINGsP.h To setup the delegate, assign
340 the delegate variable to view->delegate.
343 Removed all the didChange notifications that were sent when the text
344 was changed programmatically. Only changes made by user interaction
345 will be notified now. If you need the old behaviour, send notifications
346 manually when you change the text.
349 - added WMGetColorPanelColor(WMColorPanel *panel)
350 - made WMGetUDStringForKey() to only return a reference to the string, not a
351 wstrdup()'ed copy. DO NOT FREE IT ANYMORE!
352 - added MultiByteText option to userdefaults file to control use of multibyte
353 string drawing functions
354 - renamed WMCreateFont() to WMCreateFontSet()
355 - renamed WMCreateFontInDefaultEncoding() to WMCreateNormalFont()

494 - fixed some bugs in text field
495 - added a incomplete implementation of split view (not yet usable)

504 - added WMSetPopUpButtonText(). It will set the default text in the button
505 when no options are selected
506 - fixed bug in remove/add item in already mapped popupbuttons. Note: it is
507 not good practice to change the contents of a popup button when it's
508 already visible and the user has probably interacted with it.
