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

176 in mid-January: going out of the country for the holidays!
177 * Support for interactive use and Python only
178 * Everything major feature is in place: see online help.
