17 ............................
18 - added WMRunModalLoop() and WMBreakModalLoop()
19 - added WMSetBoxExpandsToParent()
20 - added WMRemoveBoxSubview()

30 changes since wmaker 0.62.1:
31 ............................
33 - added WText widget (rtf multiline text widget)
34 Nwanua Elumeze <nwanua@colorado.edu>
35 - added a new AUTO option for the UseMultiByte option
36 - added WMRaiseWidget()/WMLowerWidget()
37 - added missing EscapeTextMovement to textfield delegate/notification
38 - added WMGetLabelText()
39 - added WMReparentWidget()
40 - added WMCreateTabViewItem()
41 - added W_CreateUnmanagedTopView()
42 - added wtokenjoin(), wtokensplit(), wtokenfree(), wtrimspace()
43 - added WMWidgetIsMapped()
44 - added WMSetApplicationIconWindow()
45 - restructured the directory tree. Added Documentation, Examples and Tests
47 - removed WMArrayBag and reorganized WMTreeBag to be WMBag.
48 - added WMArray class.
49 - added WMSetWindowUserPosition()
50 - added WMGetListSelectedItems()
51 - added WMSetListAllowMultipleSelection(), WMListAllowsMultipleSelection().
52 - added WMSetListAllowEmptySelection(), WMListAllowsEmptySelection().
53 - WMListSelectionDidChangeNotification passes NULL as the notification
54 client data (previously passed the selected item row).
55 - added WMUnselectListItem(), WMSelectAllListItems(), WMUnselectAllListItems()
56 - better behavior of wheel mices in WMList. Simple mouse wheel events
57 will scroll by 1/3 of the WMList height. Using Shift as a modifier will
58 scroll line by line, while using Control as a modifier will scroll page
60 - better behavior of WMScroller regarding mouse wheel events. 'Shift' modifier
61 will scroll line by line, while 'Control' modifier will scroll page by page.
62 - fixed some buffer overflow allowing bugs.
63 - added WSDecrementWheel and WSIncrementWheel for handling mouse wheel in
64 scrollers and scrolled widgets. This should be treated like the WSxxxPage
65 counterparts, except it should scroll by page_size/3 instead of one full page
66 - added WMSetBrowserAllowMultipleSelection(), WMSetBrowserAllowEmptySelection()
67 WMBrowserAllowsMultipleSelection() and WMBrowserAllowsEmptySelection()
68 - WMBrowser now allows multiple selections.
69 - Added WMGetBrowserPaths() to retrieve the paths for browsers that allow
71 - WMDestroyWidget() now calls WMUnmapWidget() first
72 - added WMScrollerDidScrollNotification to scroller
73 - added WMGetScrollViewVisibleRect()
74 - fixed a mem leak in the browser code.
75 - renamed wstrappend() to wstrconcat(). wstrconcat(str1, str2) concatenates
76 str1 with str2 and returns that in a newly malloc'ed string.
77 Be sure to rename wstrappend with wstrconcat in your code too, else
78 hazardous things can happen!
79 - implemented a new wstrappend() function. wstrappend(dst, src) will append
80 src to dst modifing dst and returning a pointer to it. No new string is
81 generated, except if dst is NULL, in which case its the same as calling
83 dst can ONLY be NULL or a dynamically allocated string (obtained from a
84 call to malloc, realloc, wmalloc, wrealloc, ...). dst CANNOT be a static
86 - added wmessage() for printing a variable formatted string to stderr, with
87 the program name prepended to it. Similar to wwarning(), except that it
88 doesn't add "warning:" in the output message.
90 - added WMAddTabViewItemWithView()
91 - added W_SetViewCursor()
92 - made Extra widgets library
93 - added table widget in Extras library
94 - added WMGetConnectionUnsentData() (WMGetConnectionQueuedData() too as an
96 - added WMSetConnectionCloseOnExec() to specify if the socket associated
97 with a connection survives an exec* call or not. When a new connection is
98 created using the WMCreate... or WMAcceptConnection() calls, it has the
99 close on exec flag set automatically to 'True' by the library. Unless
100 you want to let the socket of some connection to survive across an exec*
101 call, you need not to call this function.
102 - removed all the wsyserror() and wwarning() calls from host.c and
103 connection.c and replaced where appropriate with assertions. If a function
104 returns some invalid result, you can still get the system error message if
105 you need, by calling wsyserrorwithcode() and passing WCErrorCode, if
106 WCErrorCode > 0. If WCErrorCode==0, that is not a system error, and
107 wsyserrorwithcode() should not be called in this case.
108 - added WMNextHashEnumeratorKey() to retrieve all keys in some hash enumerator
110 - fixed a bug with mouse wheels scrolling in scrollers even with the widget
112 - Fixed a memory leak (the destroy function for a view was never called and
113 as a result the shaded windows didn't go away when closed. The non-shaded
114 windows were unmapped on close but not destroyed either so they only
115 apparently went away, but continued to use memory).
119 changes since wmaker 0.62.0:
120 ............................
121 - added WMSetWidgetDefaultFont(), WMSetWidgetDefaultBoldFont()
125 changes since wmaker 0.62.0:
126 ............................

129 - changed selection code
130 - added clientdata to WMFindInBag
131 - removed SetWindowInitialSize()
132 - added SetWindowAspectRatio()
133 - added initial timeout when establishing a connection.
134 - added WMSetConnectionDefaultTimeout() and WMSetConnectionOpenTimeout();
135 - added WMGetConnectionTimeoutState()
137 changes since wmaker 0.61.1:
138 ............................
140 - WARNING: semantic of bags has changed!
141 An index assigned to an item will always keep that index unless
142 you insert an item before it.
146 WMSetInBag(bag, 10, "bla");
147 That code will put "bla" in index 10, instead of 0, as it used to be.
148 - fixed WMInsertInBag(). It ignored index, and always put the new item at end.
149 - added WMSaveUserDefaults().
150 - rewrote WMPopUpButton to use WMMenuItem
151 - added WMGetPopUpButtonMenuItem(WMPopUpButton *bPtr, int index)
152 - WMSortListItemsWithComparer(WMList *lPtr, (int)(f)(const void*, const void*))
153 - WMSortBrowserColumnWithComparer()
154 - fixed bug with sorting list items.
155 - fixed bug in handling keyboard input associated with selection and
156 notification sending.
157 - filepanel puts dirs on top of list (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
158 - added WMReplaceInBag (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
159 - added vertical views and multiple views in WMSplitView (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
160 - changed values of parameter values of WMSplitViewConstrainProc()
161 - configurable default fontsize patch (Igor P. Roboul <igor@mordor.myip.org>)
162 - fixed a bug that crashed the programm when a popup button was scrolled.
163 - fixed a bug that caused incorrect drawing position of the popup indicator.
164 - fixed a bug that prevented selecting no item (-1) in a popup button.
165 - an assertion will be raised if the program tries to select a popup button
166 item that is beyond the total number of items present in the popup button.
167 - changed names of functions for SplitView to be consistent. Some contained
168 SubView while other Subview. Now all have Subview.
169 - fixed a bug in how input events were posted. Establishing 2 or more input
170 handlers for the same file descriptor, handling different (read/write/except)
171 events, caused wrong handlers to be called.
172 - Reimplemented the input and idle handlers with WMBag to avoid a functional
173 problem with them: inability to remove handlers next to the called one, from
174 the called handler itself. Trying to do this with the old version caused the
176 - changed wrealloc behaviour to be like this: new = wrealloc(old, new_size);
177 1. if old is NULL, return wmalloc(new_size).
178 2. if new_size is 0, call wfree(old), and return NULL.
179 3. if both old is a valid pointer and new_size>0, call realloc.
180 - added wstrerror(int errnum) to return the string associated with errnum.
181 - new wsyserrorwithcode(int error, const char* fmt, ...), similar to
182 wsyserror(), but printing the message for the specified error code.
183 - added 3 new classes: WMData, WMHost and WMConnection
184 - fixed a big memory leak in the color panel code (from Pascal Hofstee).
185 - added scrolling to tabview
187 changes since wmaker 0.61.0:
188 ............................
190 - added WMGetTextFieldFont()
191 - escape key in panels (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
192 - applied patch with fixes and enhancements to textfield
193 (Franck Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
194 - changed WMList to use WMBag internally, instead of a linked list
195 - replaced WMAddSortedListItem() with WMSortListItems()
196 - replaced WMAddSortedBrowserItem() with WMSortBrowserColumn()
198 changes since wmaker 0.60.0:
199 ............................
201 - added WMScreenWidth() and WMScreenHeight() functions.
202 - fixed some problems when compiling with non gcc compilers.
203 - added WMSetTextFieldFont()
204 - added WMSetButtonImageDefault() (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
205 - added WMBag (array/list)
206 - added libWUtil, a library that is a subset of libWINGs. It contains utils
207 that can be used in writing non-GUI programs. They include: hashes,
208 notifications, input/idle/timer handlers, user defaults database handling,
209 memory handling, application resource handling, etc.
210 All the non-GUI stuff from libWINGs is present.
211 Still linWINGs contain all this stuff so if you use libWINGs, you don't
212 need to link against libWUtil too.
213 One notable aspect of libWUtil is that it has a modified version of the
214 event handling function. It is named WHandleEvents() and will handle all
215 input/idle/timer events the app has.
216 If your app has a permanent input handler (as for example a socket a server
217 is listening on), then the main loop of the app can be:
221 but if there is no permanent input handler, you need to add some delay to
222 avoid a too high cpu load by your program:
227 A permanent input handler is one that is established when the program starts
228 and is present until the program exits.
229 One that is deleted and later reinstalled, is not considered permanent.
230 This difference is because if there is some input handler, the function will
231 block until some event appears, while if there is no input handler the
232 function will return almost immediately (after handling the timer/idle
235 Except the stuff declared in WUtil.h, the following functions declared in
236 WINGs.h are also present in libWUtil (you will need to #include <WINGs.h>
237 if you use one of these):
238 WMInitializeApplication(char *applicationName, int *argc, char **argv);
239 WMSetResourcePath(char *path);
240 WMGetApplicationName();
241 WMPathForResourceOfType(char *resource, char *ext);
242 WMAddTimerHandler(int milliseconds, WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
243 WMDeleteTimerWithClientData(void *cdata);
244 WMDeleteTimerHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
245 WMAddIdleHandler(WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
246 WMDeleteIdleHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
247 WMAddInputHandler(int fd, int condition, WMInputProc *proc,
249 WMDeleteInputHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
250 - added progress indicator widget
251 - Changed WMSetWindowUPosition() and WMSetWindowUSize() to
252 WMSetWindowInitialPosition() and WMSetWindowInitialSize() respectively,
253 for better naming conventions.
256 changes since wmaker 0.53.0:
257 ............................
260 - fixed a bug with setting initial path in browsers.
261 - added WMSetButtonImageDimsWhenDisabled()
262 - changed simple callback/notifications to delegate-like stuff. Affected
265 - WMSetBrowserFillProc() was replaced with WMSetBrowserDelegate
266 - WMBrowserDidScrollNotification was replaced with a delegate callback
268 WMTextField (not completed yet)
269 The notifications will still work, but using the delegate is preferable
271 How to convert old code to delegate callbacks:
272 1 - create a variable (static or dynamic) of the type of the
273 delegate for the widget type.
274 2 - Replace the notification observers with the equivalent
276 3 - Put pointers to the callbacks in the delegate variable.
278 Take a look in wfilepanel.c to see how it is used there.
280 - changed W_ViewProcedureTable to delegates
281 This will only affect user created widgets. If you have a custom
282 widget, you will need to update the callbacks and the declaration
283 of the W_ViewProcedureTable variable to be a W_ViewDelegate,
284 which is declared in WINGsP.h To setup the delegate, assign
285 the delegate variable to view->delegate.
288 Removed all the didChange notifications that were sent when the text
289 was changed programmatically. Only changes made by user interaction
290 will be notified now. If you need the old behaviour, send notifications
291 manually when you change the text.
294 - added WMGetColorPanelColor(WMColorPanel *panel)
295 - made WMGetUDStringForKey() to only return a reference to the string, not a
296 wstrdup()'ed copy. DO NOT FREE IT ANYMORE!
297 - added MultiByteText option to userdefaults file to control use of multibyte
298 string drawing functions
299 - renamed WMCreateFont() to WMCreateFontSet()
300 - renamed WMCreateFontInDefaultEncoding() to WMCreateNormalFont()
