2 * This is a bug fix release. It corrects an error with the distributed
3 documentation makefile that prevented info files and manual pages from
4 installing right on arbitrary, empty directory trees (thanks to Bart
5 Kreska for the patch). It also add support for nautilus and KDE >=3.4.1,
6 as well as preliminary support for ROX-Filer. The documentation FAQ
7 also got slightly expanded.
10 * This is a bug fix release. Documentation wize, it brings the
11 french documentation up to speed with the english version
12 (thanks to Martin Kirchgessner martin.kirch@gmail.com for
13 all his work), and take the whole documentation source and
14 html version out of the main package (thanks to this, adesklets
15 is now about 300 KB lighter). Code wize, this version includes
16 many small fixes for various platforms \u2013 FreeBSD 7 should
17 hopefully be supported unpatched, manuals have been added for
18 desklets submission script to please Debian. Yet, the biggest
19 change is probably the inclusion of an optional shell driver
20 to the interpreter, that ease up the administration of adesklets
21 and the quick adaptation of the code to new windows managers.
24 * This is a bug fix release. An unwanted partial new feature made is way
25 into previous release: it caused the contextual menu to stop working
26 the advertised way (the control key needed to be pressed for the menu to
27 get fired). This release just revert back the change, and add a
28 configuration-time option, --enable-control-on-context-menu, for
29 those who really wants this behavior.
32 * This is a bug fix release. It changes the global macro definitions
33 for adesklets to compile without problems on FreeBSD 6.x, corrects
34 an error with debugging flag stripping from the C compiler,
35 and adds a new demo program about threading.
38 * This is a bug fix release. It changes the global macro definitions
39 for adesklets to compile without problems on FreeBSD 5.x, and it also
40 adds fake root window detection for KDE, thanks to yogi77, from the
44 * This is a bug fix release. It removes calls to some C99 math routines
45 not available in earlier BSD's, make the code more portable. It also
46 adds two new commands to the API for handling the images caching
50 * This is a bug fix and documentation update release. It corrects
51 many small bugs inside the desklets submission process scripts,
52 makes portability changes to the autoconf structure, adds a new demo
53 scripts in test (widget.py), corrects the xwindow_move_window routine
54 for a small placement bugs on the screen (thanks to man1ed from
55 the forum from providing the patch), and finally add a new
56 appendix containing a handy online version of Imlib2 documentation.
59 * This is a bug fix and documentation update release. It improves
60 the desklets submission process by releasing the full check
61 in script used by the maintainer. It also solves a bug
62 with window refresh when using user-defined background image
63 and menus: thanks to ZeroDivide for reporting this.
64 Various updates and correction have also been made to the documentation.
67 * This is a documentation update release, principally aimed
68 at desklets authors. It basically includes a new appendix
69 on how to submit a desklet (including scripted support),
70 and a new subsection on system-wide fonts detection as well.
71 FAQ was also expanded to cover this topic.
74 * This is a documentation update release. Most of the work here
75 was made by Mike Pirnat exilejedi@users.sourceforge.net,
76 who was kind enough to rectify the base author's deficient english
77 by proofreading this manual from cover to cover. Thanks Mike!
78 The FAQ was also slightly expanded, and a new appendix for desklets
82 * This is a new bug fix release. It corrects a bug within
83 the python package that made if not compile on all of
84 Python < 2.4.0. Thanks to nucular, from the adesklets forum,
85 for reporting this. It also corrects another minor mmap
86 related issue in the same package.
89 * This is anew bug fix release. It secures the use of optional
90 adesklets.ConfigFile class by completely changing the way
91 config files are imported, removing a potential security exploit.
92 Thanks to Mike Pirnat <exilejedi@users.sourceforge.net> for
93 sharing his concerns on this issue.
96 * This is a new minor version release. The interpreter now support
97 internationalization - It can now dynamically work with different
98 charsets on platforms supporting iconv (as standardized in UNIX98), and
99 display them in the right fashion. Python package was also extended
100 to include an (optional) generic configuration class, hopefully useful
104 * This is a documentation update release. Documentation was added for
105 python programmers, FAQ was slightly expanded.
108 * This is new bug fix release. It just adds support for interruption
109 of time gates by events. This is a feature absolutely required to make
110 some timed effects possible.
113 * This is a new minor version release. Portability has been a big concern
114 for us since the beginning; with this version, the package compile
115 and run flawlessly on FreeBSD and NetBSD. Events handling has also been
116 internally streamlined, and the python binding was extended to support
117 dynamic modification of caught events (see test/test_events.py).
119 * The interpreter API now expose everything the author wanted,
120 and will probably not be expanded much further; everything is pretty
121 much in place to write any desklet, including animations.
124 * This is a minor bug fix release - it removes a compatibility bug
125 within the GNU history library usage. Thanks to Mike Pirnat
129 * New minor version release. Added support for textual variables
130 (strings substitution, in fact), and execution of timed preregistered
131 sequences of commands to the interpreter (indirect mode of execution);
132 this gives desklets a way to perform fluid animations.
133 For developpers, this version also includes a rewritten dynamically
134 configurable debug interface to the interpreter able
135 to generate complete logs on any session. See Changelog.
138 * Minor bug fix release - update to this version
139 if you could not get package to compile with 0.1.1 or 0.1.2
140 due to error on doc/adesklets.1. Also adds a FAQ to
141 the documentation. See Changelog.
144 * Documentation update release. See Changelog.
147 * Minor bug fix release. See Changelog.
150 * New minor version release. Added preliminary french documentation,
151 support for Windows Manager with fake roots (Xfce4 built-in), and
152 for restarting all desklets.
155 * Minor bug fix release. See Changelog.
158 * Initial release of adesklets. More news coming somewhere
159 in mid-January: going out of the country for the holidays!
160 * Support for interactive use and Python only
161 * Everything major feature is in place: see online help.
