426 * All New minor bug-correction release: 0.4.11
429 Now support a shell frontend, and a ADESKLETS_ROOT variable
431 * scripting/python/adesklets/__init__.py,
432 scripting/python/adesklets/error_handler.py,
433 scripting/python/adesklets/initializer.py:
434 Adaptating the python package to the new shell frontend.
435 Make possible to pass flags directly to the shell frontend from a python
436 script, making possible such lines as: python test.py --xfce4.
437 Also add a warning mecanism to the package initializer, that makes easier
438 to users to remember how to use adesklets.
440 * doc/Makefile.am, doc/html/index.html, doc/Makefile.dist.in:
441 Added support for automated, separate html documentation packaging.
442 Make the documentation source disappear from the distributed code.
443 Documentation (source, *huge* automake machinery, and html documentation)
444 were accountable from more of 300K in the final end-user package...
445 Time to put and end to it.
447 * doc/adesklets_checkin.1.in, doc/adesklets_submit.1.in:
448 Add two stub manual pages for desklets submission utilities.
449 This is to conform to debian guidelines, and make the scripts installable
452 * doc/adesklets_en.texi
453 Grammar: X Window system => X Window System (capital 'S').
454 Notified by Michal Politowski <mpol@charybda.icm.edu.pl> through the debian
458 Add a check to remove the _POSIX_C_SOURCE defined when compiling
462 Correct an error in the atom name in the WM to adesklets client message
465 * scripting/prototypes, scripting/python/adesklets/configfile.py:
466 Correct a problem with the ConfigImport Class unable to parse negative
467 numbers. Sorry Andrew <darkliquid@darkliqid.cu.uk>, you were right.
469 * doc/adesklets_en.texi:
470 Corrected a small bug into the tutorial on adesklets programming from
471 the documentation. Thanks to dana_w, from the forum, for signaling this.
473 * doc/adesklets_en.texi, doc/adesklets_fr.texi, doc/gpl.texi:
474 Correction to the doc's introduction to the licence.
476 * src/adesklets.c, src/cfgfile.c, src/xwindow.c:
477 Implement what is needed to specify the root window from the command line
478 instead of trying to detect every possible case of fake root window in the
479 interpreter. Also add the correct rewrite of the DISPLAY environment variable
480 so that the future $PROGRAM_DIR/adesklets wrapper doesn't have to parse
481 the config file. It also solves some side effects one can have of multiple
482 screen system when launching X11 clients from desklets.
484 * configure.ac, src/xwindow.c:
485 Strip out all the old, crufty fake root window detection code for specific
486 WM out of the default compilation path.
489 Change adesklets.c behavior: shield it against unsollicited client signals
490 (thanks to aaa from the forum from pointing the problem with GTK).
493 Correct an error in configuration stripping (again).
496 Typo in constant name _XROOTPMAP_ID. Thanks to yogi77 from the forum.
