1 version 0.8.4 --
2 - cleaning up build again. Rather than having 200 -DDEFINE_ statements
3 in our compile lines, we use config.h (like normal people). =:) This
4 very well may break stuff, but it looks good thus far....
5 - adding AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to stop the ever-annoying "here, let me run
6 aclocal for you again!!" idiocy of automake and friends
7 - fixing things for multi-head displays--replacing
8 "getScreenInfo(0)->getRootWindow()," with
9 "getCurrentScreenInfo()->getRootWindow(),"
10 - removing kludgy C command-line configurator with much-improved perl script
11 from Damien Tougas (thanks!!!)
13 version 0.8.3 --
14 - changing external app launch order--we go bbconf, bbkeysconf,
15 bbkeysConfigGtk, rxvt, xterm... *phew*
16 - fix in stackmenu.cc (hopefully we got it this time?) to fix segfaults
17 on some platforms due to screwy X stuff. *shudder*
20 version 0.8.2 --
22 - patched for matrix-style workspace navigation, updating the 0.3.5 patch written
23 by Markus Ottenbacher (m.ottenbacher@gmx.de) found at
24 http://homepages.compuserve.de/meottenbacher/. Include UpWorkspace,
25 DownWorkspace, LeftWorkspace and RightWorkspace as WithAction() in your
26 ~/.bbkeysrc, and enable the arrangement in rows and columns in your
27 bbkeys.bb as well as in bbpager.bb (usually placed under
28 /usr/local/share/bbtools/) to use this functionality. Bill Beal <beal@tunl.duke.edu>
30 - fixed a bug due to an improper test for next and prev (test for key
31 release). next and prev might just be 0, so we can't do if (next)
32 because the correct index of the grabSet.KeyMap might be 0 for either
33 prevwindow or nextwindow keybinding and it would fail the test and not
34 release the keyboard and not lower the window menu.
36 - fixed a bug for the window list popup menu--sticky window bug where
37 sticky windows would show up twice on their originating windows but not
38 at all on the workspace that you switched from immediately prior to
39 switching to the window where the sticky window is "homed"... =:)
41 - xOr's new "showAllWorkspaces" option lets you see every window that you
42 have on any workspace with an indicator as to what workspace that
43 window is living on.... Very sweet code.
45 - fix for popup window menu... Added "always on top" code so that it
46 stays at top of window stack and won't let blackbox hide it with any
47 other window (as occurs when auto-raise is enabled in blackbox).
49 version 0.8.1 --
50 - bug fixin's--fixed annoying "un-iconify" feature when bbkeys did window
51 cycling, thanks to halt, all else for pointing that one out.... Also,
52 removed REPORT struct from resource.hh which only had auto_raise in it
53 (not sure why it's been there, un-used all this time anyway)....
55 - changed all "friend .*$" to "friend class .*$" to comply with more
56 strict gcc versions.... Thanks to Jan Schaumann for this!
58 - okay. stacked window cycling tweaks. As a visual clue for the
59 stacked-Cycling folks, we now set focus on cycled-through windows as we
60 go, raising the window selected at the end of the cycle. This sounds
61 more confusing than it is. This makes it possible to separate the new
62 and improved cycling method from the popup menu. Oh, and hitting Escape
63 in the middle of cycling will return focus to the window that you
64 started from....
66 - I've made it possible to turn off the visual menu for the new-and-improved
67 stacked cycling method. To do this, just put
68 "bbkeys.menu.showCycleMenu: False" (without the quotes, duh) into your
69 ~/.bbtools/bbkeys.bb or ~/.bbtools/bbkeys.nobb file. This will let
70 bbkeys still use the new method, will set focus as you cycle through the
71 stack, but won't actually raise the window you want until you tell it
72 to by releasing your keys or hitting <Enter>, and won't show the popup
73 window list and cycle through the entries as you go. Again, harder to
74 explain than it is to use....
76 - including README, ChangeLog, and AUTHORS in installed files list
78 - including first man page files (W00T!!) =:). Thanks to Jan Schaumann,
79 bbkeys now has man pages, baybee. Installing now and including files
80 in bbkeys.spec
82 version 0.8.0 --
83 - BIG changes!!! w00T!!! There's some very significant improvements in
84 this version, and as such, I'm calling this version 0.8.0 for various
85 reasons....
86 1) I feel like it
87 2) I'm thinking we're about "there", and 0.8.0 sounds like more of a
88 non-beta product than 0.3.8
89 3) I feel like it =:)
91 - xOr (see below) has done some majorly good coding with bbkeys. He's
92 implemented a different window-cycling scheme that's more
93 "Windows"-like (think <alt+tab> popup window with list of things you're
94 cycling through)... Verrrry slick. Umm. Did I say Verrrrry?
96 Why, yes I did. You are just going to have to see it to believe it. Blackbox
97 has just again become my favorite window manager for X, with the help
98 xOr has given to me. The window cycling methodology has changed, and
99 believe me, this is a change for the better. There's now two methods
100 of window cycling--both use the same keybindings, so don't get yer
101 panties tied in knots. xOr has implemented a newer, better "old-style"
102 window cycling, called linear cycling. It's basically what
103 blackbox/bbkeys has done up until this point, but with a few
104 significant improvements. But the really exciting new feature in this
105 release of bbkeys is the other way--a "stacked" cycling method. It
106 makes much more sense than the old way. And it's purtier, because you
107 can see what you're window-changing to before you actually go there.
108 And when you hit <alt+tab> (example keybinding--you can have it be
109 whatever you want it to be), it goes back to the window you were on
110 right before this one.
112 It's way cool, uber-neato, and excellently implemented. I'll expand on
113 this more in README, so look there for more details.
115 - xOr has also fixed a bug in LinkedList.cc (as posted to the blackbox
116 mailing list) that affected how the windows were put into the cycling
117 stack.
119 - I'm considering xOr a co-developer now (as long as he has the time and
120 desire, of course), but we've a project available on sourceforge.net at
121 http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=32563 . Of course, this means
122 that all the usual sourceforge advantages are there, like CVS access,
123 etc. The project is bbconf.sourceforge.net for the time being, so
124 CVS access looks like this:
126 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf login
127 <hit enter for password>
128 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf co bbkeys
130 I've imported the bbkeys tree (0.8.0 will be pulled directly from it),
131 and I've also imported a bbconf module. bbconf will be the new
132 all-in-one blackbox configuration utility (if I get some help). =:)
133 To get read-only access to it, do this...
135 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf login
136 <hit enter for password>
137 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf co bbconf
139 - adding ToggleDecor as an option to toggle ummmm, window decor.... (duh).
140 *** BIG HONKING NOTE ***
141 This doesn't currently work. =:\ The code is in bbkeys, but can't
142 actually do anything until blackbox is changed to tell us what the
143 decorated state of the window is. Hopefully this will be included in
144 blackbox soon....
146 - changing order of configurator launch again, thanks to a bug report
147 from David Lawrence Ramsey (I had " black" instead of "black")--so we
148 now try rxvt before xterm, and rxvt should actually work now....
150 - hopefully fixing strcasecmp issue for AIX boxen--it's in strings.h
151 instead of string.h. Adding check for strings.h.... PLEASE let me
152 know if this doesn't actually fix anything. I'd like to put this guy
153 to bed....
155 - Applying patches from Ben Jansens <xor at x-o-r dot net>. His comments
156 are below....
158 I've removed all the functionality from the wminterface class that bbkeys
159 does not use, and reorganised the header files for wminterface and bbkeys,
160 adding comments for all of the class members. With this patch, bbkeys not
161 longer calls the blackbox cycling routines, but maintains its own list of
162 windows, and cycles them itself. One thing to note is that the cycling does
163 not occur in the same order as the buttons on the toolbar cycle. I personally
164 dont think this will be a big issue, and i think the new way is nicer. When a
165 new window opens, its added to the list right *after* the focused window,
166 so that hitting PrevWindow would take you back to the window that was
167 previously focused.
169 ....
171 * VERY nice work, Ben. Thanks for your work! *
173 - Bug squashing and fixing galore... Thanks again to Ben for pointing
174 these out. The issue was that we were doing stuff to windows without
175 making sure the window wasn't our root window. Doh! So now we make
176 sure 1) we have a focus_window and 2) that focus_window isn't
177 PointerRoot. Hopefully that will do the trick....
180 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
183 version 0.3.6 --
184 - Fixed slight bug in font-loading for label.font and frame.font. As
185 things were, we only looked for TitleFont (a bbtools-specific directive
186 which most probably isn't in most style files), a bbkeys-specific font
187 directive (which was less likely to be found). I added to the search
188 criteria toolbar.font, which for sure will be in every
189 toolbox/bbconf-generated style file and is most probably in every other
190 style file as well. Long story short, fonts should now load according
191 to the individual style used, rather than relying so heavily on
192 helvetica....
193 - applied patch submitted from MrFab (Scott Garner for the irc-challenged)
194 to manipulate window placement via keypress!!! VERY clean and nice
195 work, MrFab!! And useful, to boot! =:)
196 - reworked and applied patch from Alex (dicerandom @ earthlink dot net)
197 for keystroke-resizing of focused windows. Very nice work, Alex!
198 Thanks!! =:)
199 - reworked fork() section for configurator launch--based on Kyle
200 Donaldson's idea.... We now try bbkeysconf, bbkeysConfigGtk, xterm,
201 rxvt--in that order... Thanks Kyle!
202 - new and improved bbkeysConfigC--better functioning, disclaimer added
203 since we trounce on whatever was in ~/.bbkeysrc, added printout of all
204 available keygrabs now....
206 version 0.3.5 --
207 - Doh!! In the midst of the glorious bug-squashing that 0.3.4 offered, I
208 introduced a new bug (just to see if anybody actually uses my code,
209 erm, or something). =:) I was getting rid of all the strdups that I
210 could and in the process forgot to replace it with a working solution
211 for the ExecCommand part of bbkeys's functionality.
213 version 0.3.4 --
214 - updated Image.cc, Image.hh, BaseDisplay.hh to newest (0.61.0) blackbox
215 files to correct bug that reared its ugly little head when running on
216 SPARC boxen Ultra 5 (Bus Error). Thanks to Tibor Simko for reporting
217 this one....
218 - many bug fixes and killing of leaks =:) thanks to memprof and X
219 man-page reading (shudder). I found quite a few memory leaks (some
220 that bbkeys inherited from the XEmacs code) and discovered some
221 undocumented features that may not qualify as leaks, but the net result
222 was that bbkeys could chew up RAM far more than he should. So, the end
223 result is that bbkeys now has far fewer memory problems. I'm pretty
224 sure that there are more buglets to be found, but that's for when I get
225 bored again, I guess. =:) Thanks to Sean 'Shaleh' Perry for this
226 buglet report (and others too). =:)
227 - updated bbkeysconf--couple of fixes for compiling on solaris....
228 - added -lX11 to the link line (should be there anyway)
229 - changed a QString.left to a QString.at function call
230 - thanks to Bo Thorsen for these buglet-reports! =:)
232 version 0.3.3 --
233 - changes and updates (thanks to nyz for the help!!!) to change the
234 communication Atoms between blackbox-0.60.1 and bbkeys (READ: YOU MUST
235 BE RUNNING BBKEYS 3.3 OR LATER IF YOU USE BLACKBOX 0.60.1 OR LATER)...
237 version 0.3.2 --
238 - Weehee!! Get along, little doggie!! Or something.... Thanks to the
239 man, the myth, the legend, the zzzeek-meister, one of those irritating
240 little problems that I've never had enough interest in fixing has been
241 fixed!! You know the one--where you're going merrily along through your
242 day, using bbkeys happily, when all of a sudden, things appear to have
243 just stopped working altogether. And then you start cursing that
244 darned bbkeys author, and in general, have a horrid day thereafter. Well
245 fear no more, little pilgrim--that "feature" has been hunted down and
246 wrestled to the ground, thanks to zzzeek (classic@io.com). The 'feature'
247 was one that I was never worried about--since it followed blackbox's
248 'feature' that did exactly the same thing. What thing is that? Why,
249 I'm so glad you asked. If you hadn't noticed before, if you have your
250 CapsLock, NumLock, or ShiftLock pressed (or any other funky modifier
251 key pressed), bbkeys stopped performing your key-grabs.
253 Well, anywho, I've rambled enough. I'm going to have bbkeys by default
254 work with any modifiers now. If you want bbkeys to work the way it does
255 now and stop grabbing keys when you have Caps/Num/ShiftLock pressed,
256 you'll have to change this line to True in your bbkeys config file
257 ($HOME/bbtools/bbkeys.bb, not ~/.bbkeysrc):
259 bbkeys.honorModifiers: False
261 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
262 version 0.3.1 --
263 - *sigh* My next release is going to not even have a UI. =:) Okay, for
264 those in this world who run blackbox on a 12" monitor (*cough* talmage
265 *cough*), or refuse to upgrade because -miniMe is toooooo big (*cough*
266 luqin *cough), =:) bbkeys now has a new run-time switch "-tinyMe" which
267 will cause bbkeys to draw itself at the old 0.2.7 size.
269 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
270 version 0.3.0 --
271 - buglet fix in MakeWindow so we don't XMapWindow every time (thanks nyz!)
272 - alrighty then, the -miniMe controversy continues. kns mentioned an idea
273 for a new miniMe look and I like it. _I_ may even use -miniMe now.
274 =:) Here's the thing, I really don't care at all about -miniMe, since
275 I use him at full-size. If somebody wants to code for this to be a
276 configurable option (bbkeys.keyhole.size or bbkeys.keyhole.width, etc.),
277 I'll be more than happy to look at it.
279 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
280 version 0.2.8 --
281 - included new Image classes from the latest blackbox source so luqin's
282 and r00tv's styles work. =:) Oh, it'll help other people too, but
283 they pested me first.
284 - added Workspace9, 10, 11, and 12 to keygrabs and configurator
286 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
287 version 0.2.7 --
289 - added MaximizeVertical and MaximizeHorizontal key-grabbability. Don't
290 know why it didn't occur to me earlier. =:) nyz did all the hard work
291 4 releases ago.
293 - As of this release of bbkeys, I'm no longer going to support the gtk
294 configurator (unless I get a WHOLE lot of of input to the contrary).
295 I've re-written the gui configurator in qt (thanks to luqin for the
296 beginnings of this) and let me tell you, it is a WHOLE lot easier to
297 work with qt2 than gtk. Much, much cleaner. You doubt?

316 734 lines of code versus 1588 makes me a happy, happy SE. =:)
318 - So, I'm pulling out the bbkeysConfigGtk directory from the bbkeys source
319 tarball and in its place is bbkeysconf. I'll also be regulaly
320 posting rpms of both bbkeys and bbkeysconf as new releases rear their
321 ugly little heads, as well as one last RPM of bbkeysConfigGtk as well
322 as the tarball for bbkeysConfigGtk if anybody just HAS to have the gtk
323 version. =:)
325 - As a result of this, the -no[gtk] for bbkeys will change to -no[qt].
327 - Slight buglet fix for bbkeys when he's in iconic mode to properly set
328 WM_ICON_NAME (Thanks to Mats Jonson for the bug-report. =:) ) so bbkeys
329 shows up as bbkeys and not "Unnamed" in blackbox's Icon list.
332 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
333 version 0.2.6 --
334 - Weehee!!! Much bug-squashing release!!!
335 - added ability for bbkeys to minimize itself (right-click on bbkeys's
336 "close" button). This should satisfy those of us who would like to not
337 see the beautiful little application I wrote and just use it. *sniff* =:)
338 - added "-iconic" switch, so bbkeys can be launched in minimized mode.
339 Again, *sniff* Nobody likes my pretty window. =:)
340 - fixed a few undocumented features...
341 -- bbkeys queued up all keystroke combos while external gooey configurator
342 was running and then did then all at once, really quick-like when you
343 came back from the configurator. This tended to annoy my users. =:)
344 -- bbkeys wasn't releasing grabbed keys before it launched the
345 configurator, so the configurator wasn't receiving any of the previously
346 grabbed keys. XSync(False) does wonders. =:)
347 - updated bbkeysConfigGtk to allow configuration of ExecCommand directives.
349 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
350 version 0.2.5 --
351 - erm. forgot to write in this for a while. =:)
352 - took out timer implementation for ~/.bbkeysrc changing -- this should fix
353 the abnormally high CPU/MEM usage that bbkeys has shown -- and replaced it
354 with a virtual function call to CheckConfig out of BaseDisplay.cc.
355 - thought about changing the configurators, then changed my mind. =:\
357 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
358 version 0.2.3 --
359 - fix for bbkeys not pickup up anything for its frame color/texture
360 (thanks to luqin for the patch. =:) )
362 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
363 version 0.2.2 --
364 - added ExecCommand feature so users can define programs to execute with
365 a given keystroke. Syntax is as follows:
367 KeyToGrab(F1), WithModifier(Mod1), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(PROGRAM)
369 where PROGRAM is whatever you want to launch. PROGRAM must be in your PATH
370 if it is not given with a path. (duh) =:)
372 - improved the logic (hopefully) surrounding resource loading. Took
373 loadKeygrabs out of reconfigure() (which gets hit on every Expose event)
374 which should improve bbkeys's performance. Also, apparently I've never
375 put in the code that I thought I did which checks ~/.bbkeysrc for changes.
376 That should work correctly now.
379 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
380 version 0.2.1 --
381 - fixed several style issues.
383 - fixed the bug with having two "-n" switches. =:) now, "-no[gtk]" is the
384 way to tell bbkeys to launch the xterm-based conflagurator
386 - re-coded bbkeys' internals (made them much more intuitive and easy to read).
387 bbkeys uses 3 basic objects: Window's, GEOM(etry objects), and Pixmap
388 objects. The Windows are physical units of space that X communicates with.
389 The GEOM objects are pretty self-explanatory, x, y, height, width. And
390 the Pixmap objects contain the image that is mapped onto the window itself.
391 It goes like this:
392 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
393 Windows: GEOMs: Pixmaps: resource->objects and what
394 resources bbkeys uses for them
395 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
396 win_title geom_title pix_title label.texture
397 window.label.focus
398 win_back geom_back pix_back frame.texture
399 window.title.focus
400 win_closeBtn geom_closeBtn pix_closeBtn button.texture
401 window.button.focus
402 win_configBtn geom_configBtn pix_configBtn button.texture
403 window.button.focus
404 pix_pressedBtn button.texture_pressed
405 window.button.pressed
406 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
408 - fixed style files in data/ (silly me, I forgot to change them over from
409 bbpager's style files. ) Extra-special thanks to sourceo for pointing
410 this little bit to me and reminding me to put it in the ChangeLog =:)
412 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
413 version 0.2.0 --
414 - got rid of all the old bbws code base from bbkeys and ported the whole
415 darned thing to kns's bbpager-0.2.5-alpha code base.
417 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
418 version 0.1.4 --
420 - added "-mini-Me" switch =:) for those people *cough* sissies *cough* who
421 complain about bbkeys' size. So size DOES matter.... erm, anyway, if
422 launched with the "-mini-Me" option, bbkeys will draw a cute little window
423 10x10 in size (or whatever I feel like, dangit) containing just the button
424 to launch the configurator, instead of the regular, full-blown window. No
425 exit button for YOU! =:) Let me know if this doesn't suit you....
427 - improved documentation of sorts. Ugly habit, this documentation stuff. If
428 you look in README, you'll now see all of the commands that bbkeys will
429 think about obeying. If it feels like it. And if you ask really, really
430 nicely.
