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

153 support for Windows Manager with fake roots (Xfce4 built-in), and
154 for restarting all desklets.
157 * Minor bug fix release. See Changelog.
160 * Initial release of adesklets. More news coming somewhere
161 in mid-January: going out of the country for the holidays!
162 * Support for interactive use and Python only
163 * Everything major feature is in place: see online help.
