2 * This is a bug fix release. Documentation wize, it brings the
3 french documentation up to speed with the english version
4 (thanks to Martin Kirchgessner martin.kirch@gmail.com for
5 all his work), and take the whole documentation source and
6 html version out of the main package (thanks to this, adesklets
7 is now about 300 KB lighter). Code wize, this version includes
8 many small fixes for various platforms \u2013 FreeBSD 7 should
9 hopefully be supported unpatched, manuals have been added for
10 desklets submission script to please Debian. Yet, the biggest
11 change is probably the inclusion of an optional shell driver
12 to the interpreter, that ease up the administration of adesklets
13 and the quick adaptation of the code to new windows managers.
16 * This is a bug fix release. An unwanted partial new feature made is way
17 into previous release: it caused the contextual menu to stop working
18 the advertised way (the control key needed to be pressed for the menu to
19 get fired). This release just revert back the change, and add a
20 configuration-time option, --enable-control-on-context-menu, for
21 those who really wants this behavior.
24 * This is a bug fix release. It changes the global macro definitions
25 for adesklets to compile without problems on FreeBSD 6.x, corrects
26 an error with debugging flag stripping from the C compiler,
27 and adds a new demo program about threading.
30 * This is a bug fix release. It changes the global macro definitions
31 for adesklets to compile without problems on FreeBSD 5.x, and it also
32 adds fake root window detection for KDE, thanks to yogi77, from the
36 * This is a bug fix release. It removes calls to some C99 math routines
37 not available in earlier BSD's, make the code more portable. It also
38 adds two new commands to the API for handling the images caching
42 * This is a bug fix and documentation update release. It corrects
43 many small bugs inside the desklets submission process scripts,
44 makes portability changes to the autoconf structure, adds a new demo
45 scripts in test (widget.py), corrects the xwindow_move_window routine
46 for a small placement bugs on the screen (thanks to man1ed from
47 the forum from providing the patch), and finally add a new
48 appendix containing a handy online version of Imlib2 documentation.
51 * This is a bug fix and documentation update release. It improves
52 the desklets submission process by releasing the full check
53 in script used by the maintainer. It also solves a bug
54 with window refresh when using user-defined background image
55 and menus: thanks to ZeroDivide for reporting this.
56 Various updates and correction have also been made to the documentation.
59 * This is a documentation update release, principally aimed
60 at desklets authors. It basically includes a new appendix
61 on how to submit a desklet (including scripted support),
62 and a new subsection on system-wide fonts detection as well.
63 FAQ was also expanded to cover this topic.
66 * This is a documentation update release. Most of the work here
67 was made by Mike Pirnat exilejedi@users.sourceforge.net,
68 who was kind enough to rectify the base author's deficient english
69 by proofreading this manual from cover to cover. Thanks Mike!
70 The FAQ was also slightly expanded, and a new appendix for desklets
74 * This is a new bug fix release. It corrects a bug within
75 the python package that made if not compile on all of
76 Python < 2.4.0. Thanks to nucular, from the adesklets forum,
77 for reporting this. It also corrects another minor mmap
78 related issue in the same package.
81 * This is anew bug fix release. It secures the use of optional
82 adesklets.ConfigFile class by completely changing the way
83 config files are imported, removing a potential security exploit.
84 Thanks to Mike Pirnat <exilejedi@users.sourceforge.net> for
85 sharing his concerns on this issue.
88 * This is a new minor version release. The interpreter now support
89 internationalization - It can now dynamically work with different
90 charsets on platforms supporting iconv (as standardized in UNIX98), and
91 display them in the right fashion. Python package was also extended
92 to include an (optional) generic configuration class, hopefully useful
96 * This is a documentation update release. Documentation was added for
97 python programmers, FAQ was slightly expanded.
100 * This is new bug fix release. It just adds support for interruption
101 of time gates by events. This is a feature absolutely required to make
102 some timed effects possible.
105 * This is a new minor version release. Portability has been a big concern
106 for us since the beginning; with this version, the package compile
107 and run flawlessly on FreeBSD and NetBSD. Events handling has also been
108 internally streamlined, and the python binding was extended to support
109 dynamic modification of caught events (see test/test_events.py).
111 * The interpreter API now expose everything the author wanted,
112 and will probably not be expanded much further; everything is pretty
113 much in place to write any desklet, including animations.
116 * This is a minor bug fix release - it removes a compatibility bug
117 within the GNU history library usage. Thanks to Mike Pirnat
121 * New minor version release. Added support for textual variables
122 (strings substitution, in fact), and execution of timed preregistered
123 sequences of commands to the interpreter (indirect mode of execution);
124 this gives desklets a way to perform fluid animations.
125 For developpers, this version also includes a rewritten dynamically
126 configurable debug interface to the interpreter able
127 to generate complete logs on any session. See Changelog.
130 * Minor bug fix release - update to this version
131 if you could not get package to compile with 0.1.1 or 0.1.2
132 due to error on doc/adesklets.1. Also adds a FAQ to
133 the documentation. See Changelog.
136 * Documentation update release. See Changelog.
139 * Minor bug fix release. See Changelog.
142 * New minor version release. Added preliminary french documentation,
143 support for Windows Manager with fake roots (Xfce4 built-in), and
144 for restarting all desklets.
147 * Minor bug fix release. See Changelog.
150 * Initial release of adesklets. More news coming somewhere
151 in mid-January: going out of the country for the holidays!
152 * Support for interactive use and Python only
153 * Everything major feature is in place: see online help.
