2 * This is a new minor version release. adesklets now includes support
3 for writing desklets in Perl: many thanks to Lucas Brutschy
4 <lbrutschy@users.sourceforge.net> for his work!
7 * This is a bug fix release. adesklets now compiles and run on
8 OpenBSD 3.8, automated FIFO cleanup in case of broken session was added
9 to the frontend, as well as support of the newest version of e16.
10 The adesklets installer script automated UI fallback was also fixed.
13 * This is new minor version and bug correction release. It extends
14 the documentation and FAQ on many topics, includes many fixes
15 to the autotools scripts (special thanks to Steve Langasek
16 <vorlon@debian.org>), regularises a few exceptions in the
17 interpreter, adds support to WM-specific contextual menu, adds a few
18 use cases scripts under test/, and adds a brand new adesklets installer
19 (adesklets_installer) for automated download and unpacking of desklets.
22 * This is a bug fix release. It corrects an error with the distributed
23 documentation makefile that prevented info files and manual pages from
24 installing right on arbitrary, empty directory trees (thanks to Bart
25 Kreska for the patch). It also add support for nautilus and KDE >=3.4.1,
26 as well as preliminary support for ROX-Filer and xffm-deskview. It
27 should rectify a long-standing issue with some desklets failing to
28 complete their initial display. Finally, the documentation FAQ was
32 * This is a bug fix release. Documentation wize, it brings the
33 french documentation up to speed with the english version
34 (thanks to Martin Kirchgessner martin.kirch@gmail.com for
35 all his work), and take the whole documentation source and
36 html version out of the main package (thanks to this, adesklets
37 is now about 300 KB lighter). Code wize, this version includes
38 many small fixes for various platforms \u2013 FreeBSD 7 should
39 hopefully be supported unpatched, manuals have been added for
40 desklets submission script to please Debian. Yet, the biggest
41 change is probably the inclusion of an optional shell driver
42 to the interpreter, that ease up the administration of adesklets
43 and the quick adaptation of the code to new windows managers.
46 * This is a bug fix release. An unwanted partial new feature made is way
47 into previous release: it caused the contextual menu to stop working
48 the advertised way (the control key needed to be pressed for the menu to
49 get fired). This release just revert back the change, and add a
50 configuration-time option, --enable-control-on-context-menu, for
51 those who really wants this behavior.
54 * This is a bug fix release. It changes the global macro definitions
55 for adesklets to compile without problems on FreeBSD 6.x, corrects
56 an error with debugging flag stripping from the C compiler,
57 and adds a new demo program about threading.
60 * This is a bug fix release. It changes the global macro definitions
61 for adesklets to compile without problems on FreeBSD 5.x, and it also
62 adds fake root window detection for KDE, thanks to yogi77, from the
66 * This is a bug fix release. It removes calls to some C99 math routines
67 not available in earlier BSD's, make the code more portable. It also
68 adds two new commands to the API for handling the images caching
72 * This is a bug fix and documentation update release. It corrects
73 many small bugs inside the desklets submission process scripts,
74 makes portability changes to the autoconf structure, adds a new demo
75 scripts in test (widget.py), corrects the xwindow_move_window routine
76 for a small placement bugs on the screen (thanks to man1ed from
77 the forum from providing the patch), and finally add a new
78 appendix containing a handy online version of Imlib2 documentation.
81 * This is a bug fix and documentation update release. It improves
82 the desklets submission process by releasing the full check
83 in script used by the maintainer. It also solves a bug
84 with window refresh when using user-defined background image
85 and menus: thanks to ZeroDivide for reporting this.
86 Various updates and correction have also been made to the documentation.
89 * This is a documentation update release, principally aimed
90 at desklets authors. It basically includes a new appendix
91 on how to submit a desklet (including scripted support),
92 and a new subsection on system-wide fonts detection as well.
93 FAQ was also expanded to cover this topic.
96 * This is a documentation update release. Most of the work here
97 was made by Mike Pirnat exilejedi@users.sourceforge.net,
98 who was kind enough to rectify the base author's deficient english
99 by proofreading this manual from cover to cover. Thanks Mike!
100 The FAQ was also slightly expanded, and a new appendix for desklets
104 * This is a new bug fix release. It corrects a bug within
105 the python package that made if not compile on all of
106 Python < 2.4.0. Thanks to nucular, from the adesklets forum,
107 for reporting this. It also corrects another minor mmap
108 related issue in the same package.
111 * This is anew bug fix release. It secures the use of optional
112 adesklets.ConfigFile class by completely changing the way
113 config files are imported, removing a potential security exploit.
114 Thanks to Mike Pirnat <exilejedi@users.sourceforge.net> for
115 sharing his concerns on this issue.
118 * This is a new minor version release. The interpreter now support
119 internationalization - It can now dynamically work with different
120 charsets on platforms supporting iconv (as standardized in UNIX98), and
121 display them in the right fashion. Python package was also extended
122 to include an (optional) generic configuration class, hopefully useful
126 * This is a documentation update release. Documentation was added for
127 python programmers, FAQ was slightly expanded.
130 * This is new bug fix release. It just adds support for interruption
131 of time gates by events. This is a feature absolutely required to make
132 some timed effects possible.
135 * This is a new minor version release. Portability has been a big concern
136 for us since the beginning; with this version, the package compile
137 and run flawlessly on FreeBSD and NetBSD. Events handling has also been
138 internally streamlined, and the python binding was extended to support
139 dynamic modification of caught events (see test/test_events.py).
141 * The interpreter API now expose everything the author wanted,
142 and will probably not be expanded much further; everything is pretty
143 much in place to write any desklet, including animations.
146 * This is a minor bug fix release - it removes a compatibility bug
147 within the GNU history library usage. Thanks to Mike Pirnat
151 * New minor version release. Added support for textual variables
152 (strings substitution, in fact), and execution of timed preregistered
153 sequences of commands to the interpreter (indirect mode of execution);
154 this gives desklets a way to perform fluid animations.
155 For developpers, this version also includes a rewritten dynamically
156 configurable debug interface to the interpreter able
157 to generate complete logs on any session. See Changelog.
160 * Minor bug fix release - update to this version
161 if you could not get package to compile with 0.1.1 or 0.1.2
162 due to error on doc/adesklets.1. Also adds a FAQ to
163 the documentation. See Changelog.
166 * Documentation update release. See Changelog.
169 * Minor bug fix release. See Changelog.

180 * Initial release of adesklets. More news coming somewhere
181 in mid-January: going out of the country for the holidays!
182 * Support for interactive use and Python only
183 * Everything major feature is in place: see online help.
