16 ............................
17 - added WMRunModalLoop() and WMBreakModalLoop()
18 - added WMSetBoxExpandsToParent()
19 - added WMRemoveBoxSubview()

22 Also updated get-{wings|wutil}-flags.
23 - Fixed a mem leak in WMList.
24 - Fixed a bug that caused sigsegv for a WMList with more than 32767 items.

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

128 - changed selection code
129 - added clientdata to WMFindInBag
130 - removed SetWindowInitialSize()
131 - added SetWindowAspectRatio()
132 - added initial timeout when establishing a connection.
133 - added WMSetConnectionDefaultTimeout() and WMSetConnectionOpenTimeout();
134 - added WMGetConnectionTimeoutState()
136 changes since wmaker 0.61.1:
137 ............................
139 - WARNING: semantic of bags has changed!
140 An index assigned to an item will always keep that index unless
141 you insert an item before it.
145 WMSetInBag(bag, 10, "bla");
146 That code will put "bla" in index 10, instead of 0, as it used to be.
147 - fixed WMInsertInBag(). It ignored index, and always put the new item at end.
148 - added WMSaveUserDefaults().
149 - rewrote WMPopUpButton to use WMMenuItem
150 - added WMGetPopUpButtonMenuItem(WMPopUpButton *bPtr, int index)
151 - WMSortListItemsWithComparer(WMList *lPtr, (int)(f)(const void*, const void*))
152 - WMSortBrowserColumnWithComparer()
153 - fixed bug with sorting list items.
154 - fixed bug in handling keyboard input associated with selection and
155 notification sending.
156 - filepanel puts dirs on top of list (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
157 - added WMReplaceInBag (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
158 - added vertical views and multiple views in WMSplitView (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
159 - changed values of parameter values of WMSplitViewConstrainProc()
160 - configurable default fontsize patch (Igor P. Roboul <igor@mordor.myip.org>)
161 - fixed a bug that crashed the programm when a popup button was scrolled.
162 - fixed a bug that caused incorrect drawing position of the popup indicator.
163 - fixed a bug that prevented selecting no item (-1) in a popup button.
164 - an assertion will be raised if the program tries to select a popup button
165 item that is beyond the total number of items present in the popup button.
166 - changed names of functions for SplitView to be consistent. Some contained
167 SubView while other Subview. Now all have Subview.
168 - fixed a bug in how input events were posted. Establishing 2 or more input
169 handlers for the same file descriptor, handling different (read/write/except)
170 events, caused wrong handlers to be called.
171 - Reimplemented the input and idle handlers with WMBag to avoid a functional
172 problem with them: inability to remove handlers next to the called one, from
173 the called handler itself. Trying to do this with the old version caused the
175 - changed wrealloc behaviour to be like this: new = wrealloc(old, new_size);
176 1. if old is NULL, return wmalloc(new_size).
177 2. if new_size is 0, call wfree(old), and return NULL.
178 3. if both old is a valid pointer and new_size>0, call realloc.
179 - added wstrerror(int errnum) to return the string associated with errnum.
180 - new wsyserrorwithcode(int error, const char* fmt, ...), similar to
181 wsyserror(), but printing the message for the specified error code.
182 - added 3 new classes: WMData, WMHost and WMConnection
183 - fixed a big memory leak in the color panel code (from Pascal Hofstee).
184 - added scrolling to tabview
186 changes since wmaker 0.61.0:
187 ............................
189 - added WMGetTextFieldFont()
190 - escape key in panels (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
191 - applied patch with fixes and enhancements to textfield
192 (Franck Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
193 - changed WMList to use WMBag internally, instead of a linked list
194 - replaced WMAddSortedListItem() with WMSortListItems()
195 - replaced WMAddSortedBrowserItem() with WMSortBrowserColumn()
197 changes since wmaker 0.60.0:
198 ............................
200 - added WMScreenWidth() and WMScreenHeight() functions.
201 - fixed some problems when compiling with non gcc compilers.
202 - added WMSetTextFieldFont()
203 - added WMSetButtonImageDefault() (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
204 - added WMBag (array/list)
205 - added libWUtil, a library that is a subset of libWINGs. It contains utils
206 that can be used in writing non-GUI programs. They include: hashes,
207 notifications, input/idle/timer handlers, user defaults database handling,
208 memory handling, application resource handling, etc.
209 All the non-GUI stuff from libWINGs is present.
210 Still linWINGs contain all this stuff so if you use libWINGs, you don't
211 need to link against libWUtil too.
212 One notable aspect of libWUtil is that it has a modified version of the
213 event handling function. It is named WHandleEvents() and will handle all
214 input/idle/timer events the app has.
215 If your app has a permanent input handler (as for example a socket a server
216 is listening on), then the main loop of the app can be:
220 but if there is no permanent input handler, you need to add some delay to
221 avoid a too high cpu load by your program:
226 A permanent input handler is one that is established when the program starts
227 and is present until the program exits.
228 One that is deleted and later reinstalled, is not considered permanent.
229 This difference is because if there is some input handler, the function will
230 block until some event appears, while if there is no input handler the
231 function will return almost immediately (after handling the timer/idle
234 Except the stuff declared in WUtil.h, the following functions declared in
235 WINGs.h are also present in libWUtil (you will need to #include <WINGs.h>
236 if you use one of these):
237 WMInitializeApplication(char *applicationName, int *argc, char **argv);
238 WMSetResourcePath(char *path);
239 WMGetApplicationName();
240 WMPathForResourceOfType(char *resource, char *ext);
241 WMAddTimerHandler(int milliseconds, WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
242 WMDeleteTimerWithClientData(void *cdata);
243 WMDeleteTimerHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
244 WMAddIdleHandler(WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
245 WMDeleteIdleHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
246 WMAddInputHandler(int fd, int condition, WMInputProc *proc,
248 WMDeleteInputHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
249 - added progress indicator widget
250 - Changed WMSetWindowUPosition() and WMSetWindowUSize() to
251 WMSetWindowInitialPosition() and WMSetWindowInitialSize() respectively,
252 for better naming conventions.
255 changes since wmaker 0.53.0:
256 ............................
259 - fixed a bug with setting initial path in browsers.
260 - added WMSetButtonImageDimsWhenDisabled()
261 - changed simple callback/notifications to delegate-like stuff. Affected
264 - WMSetBrowserFillProc() was replaced with WMSetBrowserDelegate
265 - WMBrowserDidScrollNotification was replaced with a delegate callback
267 WMTextField (not completed yet)
268 The notifications will still work, but using the delegate is preferable
270 How to convert old code to delegate callbacks:
271 1 - create a variable (static or dynamic) of the type of the
272 delegate for the widget type.
273 2 - Replace the notification observers with the equivalent
275 3 - Put pointers to the callbacks in the delegate variable.
277 Take a look in wfilepanel.c to see how it is used there.
279 - changed W_ViewProcedureTable to delegates
280 This will only affect user created widgets. If you have a custom
281 widget, you will need to update the callbacks and the declaration
282 of the W_ViewProcedureTable variable to be a W_ViewDelegate,
283 which is declared in WINGsP.h To setup the delegate, assign
284 the delegate variable to view->delegate.
287 Removed all the didChange notifications that were sent when the text
288 was changed programmatically. Only changes made by user interaction
289 will be notified now. If you need the old behaviour, send notifications
290 manually when you change the text.
293 - added WMGetColorPanelColor(WMColorPanel *panel)
294 - made WMGetUDStringForKey() to only return a reference to the string, not a
295 wstrdup()'ed copy. DO NOT FREE IT ANYMORE!
296 - added MultiByteText option to userdefaults file to control use of multibyte
297 string drawing functions
298 - renamed WMCreateFont() to WMCreateFontSet()
299 - renamed WMCreateFontInDefaultEncoding() to WMCreateNormalFont()
