1 version 0.8.4 --
3 - cleaning up build again. Rather than having 200 -DDEFINE_ statements
4 in our compile lines, we use config.h (like normal people). =:) This
5 very well may break stuff, but it looks good thus far....
7 - adding AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to stop the ever-annoying "here, let me run
8 aclocal for you again!!" idiocy of automake and friends
10 - fixing things for multi-head displays--replacing
11 "getScreenInfo(0)->getRootWindow()," with
12 "getCurrentScreenInfo()->getRootWindow()," So yes, bbkeys now has
13 multi-head support. Sort of. You need to have a separate instance of
14 bbkeys running against each head ("bbkeys -display :1"), etc. cat
15 complaints >> /dev/null....
17 - removing kludgy C command-line configurator with much-improved perl script
18 from Damien Tougas (thanks!!!)
20 - changing bbkeys.cc to look for bbkeysconf.pl rather than bbkeysConfigC
22 - removing showAllWorkspaces from bbkeys.{bb,nobb} config file and making it
23 an additional keybinding. This allows two different ways of showing all
24 open windows and navigating through them--one keybinding for the regular
25 "NextWindow" variety (as in previous versions of bbkeys, and another
26 keybinding, "NextWindowAllWorkspaces", that pops up the window list for
27 navigation for windows open on all workspaces.
29 - bugfix.... previously, bbkeys would ignore windows that had no name. We
30 now follow blackbox's lead (and follow blackbox's code) and create a name
31 for it, "Unnamed". Thanks to Damien Terrier for this bug report.
33 - patch for allowing an alternate keybinding config file (thanks to Scott
34 Moynes!)
39 version 0.8.3 --
41 - changing external app launch order--we go bbconf, bbkeysconf,
42 bbkeysConfigGtk, rxvt, xterm... *phew*
44 - fix in stackmenu.cc (hopefully we got it this time?) to fix segfaults
45 on some platforms due to screwy X stuff. *shudder*
48 version 0.8.2 --
50 - patched for matrix-style workspace navigation, updating the 0.3.5 patch written
51 by Markus Ottenbacher (m.ottenbacher@gmx.de) found at
52 http://homepages.compuserve.de/meottenbacher/. Include UpWorkspace,
53 DownWorkspace, LeftWorkspace and RightWorkspace as WithAction() in your
54 ~/.bbkeysrc, and enable the arrangement in rows and columns in your
55 bbkeys.bb as well as in bbpager.bb (usually placed under
56 /usr/local/share/bbtools/) to use this functionality. Bill Beal <beal@tunl.duke.edu>
58 - fixed a bug due to an improper test for next and prev (test for key
59 release). next and prev might just be 0, so we can't do if (next)
60 because the correct index of the grabSet.KeyMap might be 0 for either
61 prevwindow or nextwindow keybinding and it would fail the test and not
62 release the keyboard and not lower the window menu.
64 - fixed a bug for the window list popup menu--sticky window bug where
65 sticky windows would show up twice on their originating windows but not
66 at all on the workspace that you switched from immediately prior to
67 switching to the window where the sticky window is "homed"... =:)
69 - xOr's new "showAllWorkspaces" option lets you see every window that you
70 have on any workspace with an indicator as to what workspace that
71 window is living on.... Very sweet code.
73 - fix for popup window menu... Added "always on top" code so that it
74 stays at top of window stack and won't let blackbox hide it with any
75 other window (as occurs when auto-raise is enabled in blackbox).
77 version 0.8.1 --
78 - bug fixin's--fixed annoying "un-iconify" feature when bbkeys did window
79 cycling, thanks to halt, all else for pointing that one out.... Also,
80 removed REPORT struct from resource.hh which only had auto_raise in it
81 (not sure why it's been there, un-used all this time anyway)....
83 - changed all "friend .*$" to "friend class .*$" to comply with more
84 strict gcc versions.... Thanks to Jan Schaumann for this!
86 - okay. stacked window cycling tweaks. As a visual clue for the
87 stacked-Cycling folks, we now set focus on cycled-through windows as we
88 go, raising the window selected at the end of the cycle. This sounds
89 more confusing than it is. This makes it possible to separate the new
90 and improved cycling method from the popup menu. Oh, and hitting Escape
91 in the middle of cycling will return focus to the window that you
92 started from....
94 - I've made it possible to turn off the visual menu for the new-and-improved
95 stacked cycling method. To do this, just put
96 "bbkeys.menu.showCycleMenu: False" (without the quotes, duh) into your
97 ~/.bbtools/bbkeys.bb or ~/.bbtools/bbkeys.nobb file. This will let
98 bbkeys still use the new method, will set focus as you cycle through the
99 stack, but won't actually raise the window you want until you tell it
100 to by releasing your keys or hitting <Enter>, and won't show the popup
101 window list and cycle through the entries as you go. Again, harder to
102 explain than it is to use....
104 - including README, ChangeLog, and AUTHORS in installed files list
106 - including first man page files (W00T!!) =:). Thanks to Jan Schaumann,
107 bbkeys now has man pages, baybee. Installing now and including files
108 in bbkeys.spec
110 version 0.8.0 --
111 - BIG changes!!! w00T!!! There's some very significant improvements in
112 this version, and as such, I'm calling this version 0.8.0 for various
113 reasons....
114 1) I feel like it
115 2) I'm thinking we're about "there", and 0.8.0 sounds like more of a
116 non-beta product than 0.3.8
117 3) I feel like it =:)
119 - xOr (see below) has done some majorly good coding with bbkeys. He's
120 implemented a different window-cycling scheme that's more
121 "Windows"-like (think <alt+tab> popup window with list of things you're
122 cycling through)... Verrrry slick. Umm. Did I say Verrrrry?
124 Why, yes I did. You are just going to have to see it to believe it. Blackbox
125 has just again become my favorite window manager for X, with the help
126 xOr has given to me. The window cycling methodology has changed, and
127 believe me, this is a change for the better. There's now two methods
128 of window cycling--both use the same keybindings, so don't get yer
129 panties tied in knots. xOr has implemented a newer, better "old-style"
130 window cycling, called linear cycling. It's basically what
131 blackbox/bbkeys has done up until this point, but with a few
132 significant improvements. But the really exciting new feature in this
133 release of bbkeys is the other way--a "stacked" cycling method. It
134 makes much more sense than the old way. And it's purtier, because you
135 can see what you're window-changing to before you actually go there.
136 And when you hit <alt+tab> (example keybinding--you can have it be
137 whatever you want it to be), it goes back to the window you were on
138 right before this one.
140 It's way cool, uber-neato, and excellently implemented. I'll expand on
141 this more in README, so look there for more details.
143 - xOr has also fixed a bug in LinkedList.cc (as posted to the blackbox
144 mailing list) that affected how the windows were put into the cycling
145 stack.
147 - I'm considering xOr a co-developer now (as long as he has the time and
148 desire, of course), but we've a project available on sourceforge.net at
149 http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=32563 . Of course, this means
150 that all the usual sourceforge advantages are there, like CVS access,
151 etc. The project is bbconf.sourceforge.net for the time being, so
152 CVS access looks like this:
154 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf login
155 <hit enter for password>
156 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf co bbkeys
158 I've imported the bbkeys tree (0.8.0 will be pulled directly from it),
159 and I've also imported a bbconf module. bbconf will be the new
160 all-in-one blackbox configuration utility (if I get some help). =:)
161 To get read-only access to it, do this...
163 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf login
164 <hit enter for password>
165 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.bbconf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbconf co bbconf
167 - adding ToggleDecor as an option to toggle ummmm, window decor.... (duh).
168 *** BIG HONKING NOTE ***
169 This doesn't currently work. =:\ The code is in bbkeys, but can't
170 actually do anything until blackbox is changed to tell us what the
171 decorated state of the window is. Hopefully this will be included in
172 blackbox soon....
174 - changing order of configurator launch again, thanks to a bug report
175 from David Lawrence Ramsey (I had " black" instead of "black")--so we
176 now try rxvt before xterm, and rxvt should actually work now....
178 - hopefully fixing strcasecmp issue for AIX boxen--it's in strings.h
179 instead of string.h. Adding check for strings.h.... PLEASE let me
180 know if this doesn't actually fix anything. I'd like to put this guy
181 to bed....
183 - Applying patches from Ben Jansens <xor at x-o-r dot net>. His comments
184 are below....
186 I've removed all the functionality from the wminterface class that bbkeys
187 does not use, and reorganised the header files for wminterface and bbkeys,
188 adding comments for all of the class members. With this patch, bbkeys not
189 longer calls the blackbox cycling routines, but maintains its own list of
190 windows, and cycles them itself. One thing to note is that the cycling does
191 not occur in the same order as the buttons on the toolbar cycle. I personally
192 dont think this will be a big issue, and i think the new way is nicer. When a
193 new window opens, its added to the list right *after* the focused window,
194 so that hitting PrevWindow would take you back to the window that was
195 previously focused.
197 ....
199 * VERY nice work, Ben. Thanks for your work! *
201 - Bug squashing and fixing galore... Thanks again to Ben for pointing
202 these out. The issue was that we were doing stuff to windows without
203 making sure the window wasn't our root window. Doh! So now we make
204 sure 1) we have a focus_window and 2) that focus_window isn't
205 PointerRoot. Hopefully that will do the trick....
208 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
211 version 0.3.6 --
212 - Fixed slight bug in font-loading for label.font and frame.font. As
213 things were, we only looked for TitleFont (a bbtools-specific directive
214 which most probably isn't in most style files), a bbkeys-specific font
215 directive (which was less likely to be found). I added to the search
216 criteria toolbar.font, which for sure will be in every
217 toolbox/bbconf-generated style file and is most probably in every other
218 style file as well. Long story short, fonts should now load according
219 to the individual style used, rather than relying so heavily on
220 helvetica....
221 - applied patch submitted from MrFab (Scott Garner for the irc-challenged)
222 to manipulate window placement via keypress!!! VERY clean and nice
223 work, MrFab!! And useful, to boot! =:)
224 - reworked and applied patch from Alex (dicerandom @ earthlink dot net)
225 for keystroke-resizing of focused windows. Very nice work, Alex!
226 Thanks!! =:)
227 - reworked fork() section for configurator launch--based on Kyle
228 Donaldson's idea.... We now try bbkeysconf, bbkeysConfigGtk, xterm,
229 rxvt--in that order... Thanks Kyle!
230 - new and improved bbkeysConfigC--better functioning, disclaimer added
231 since we trounce on whatever was in ~/.bbkeysrc, added printout of all
232 available keygrabs now....
234 version 0.3.5 --
235 - Doh!! In the midst of the glorious bug-squashing that 0.3.4 offered, I
236 introduced a new bug (just to see if anybody actually uses my code,
237 erm, or something). =:) I was getting rid of all the strdups that I
238 could and in the process forgot to replace it with a working solution
239 for the ExecCommand part of bbkeys's functionality.
241 version 0.3.4 --
242 - updated Image.cc, Image.hh, BaseDisplay.hh to newest (0.61.0) blackbox
243 files to correct bug that reared its ugly little head when running on
244 SPARC boxen Ultra 5 (Bus Error). Thanks to Tibor Simko for reporting
245 this one....
246 - many bug fixes and killing of leaks =:) thanks to memprof and X
247 man-page reading (shudder). I found quite a few memory leaks (some
248 that bbkeys inherited from the XEmacs code) and discovered some
249 undocumented features that may not qualify as leaks, but the net result
250 was that bbkeys could chew up RAM far more than he should. So, the end
251 result is that bbkeys now has far fewer memory problems. I'm pretty
252 sure that there are more buglets to be found, but that's for when I get
253 bored again, I guess. =:) Thanks to Sean 'Shaleh' Perry for this
254 buglet report (and others too). =:)
255 - updated bbkeysconf--couple of fixes for compiling on solaris....
256 - added -lX11 to the link line (should be there anyway)
257 - changed a QString.left to a QString.at function call
258 - thanks to Bo Thorsen for these buglet-reports! =:)
260 version 0.3.3 --
261 - changes and updates (thanks to nyz for the help!!!) to change the
262 communication Atoms between blackbox-0.60.1 and bbkeys (READ: YOU MUST
263 BE RUNNING BBKEYS 3.3 OR LATER IF YOU USE BLACKBOX 0.60.1 OR LATER)...
265 version 0.3.2 --
266 - Weehee!! Get along, little doggie!! Or something.... Thanks to the
267 man, the myth, the legend, the zzzeek-meister, one of those irritating
268 little problems that I've never had enough interest in fixing has been
269 fixed!! You know the one--where you're going merrily along through your
270 day, using bbkeys happily, when all of a sudden, things appear to have
271 just stopped working altogether. And then you start cursing that
272 darned bbkeys author, and in general, have a horrid day thereafter. Well
273 fear no more, little pilgrim--that "feature" has been hunted down and
274 wrestled to the ground, thanks to zzzeek (classic@io.com). The 'feature'
275 was one that I was never worried about--since it followed blackbox's
276 'feature' that did exactly the same thing. What thing is that? Why,
277 I'm so glad you asked. If you hadn't noticed before, if you have your
278 CapsLock, NumLock, or ShiftLock pressed (or any other funky modifier
279 key pressed), bbkeys stopped performing your key-grabs.
281 Well, anywho, I've rambled enough. I'm going to have bbkeys by default
282 work with any modifiers now. If you want bbkeys to work the way it does
283 now and stop grabbing keys when you have Caps/Num/ShiftLock pressed,
284 you'll have to change this line to True in your bbkeys config file
285 ($HOME/bbtools/bbkeys.bb, not ~/.bbkeysrc):
287 bbkeys.honorModifiers: False
289 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
290 version 0.3.1 --
291 - *sigh* My next release is going to not even have a UI. =:) Okay, for
292 those in this world who run blackbox on a 12" monitor (*cough* talmage
293 *cough*), or refuse to upgrade because -miniMe is toooooo big (*cough*
294 luqin *cough), =:) bbkeys now has a new run-time switch "-tinyMe" which
295 will cause bbkeys to draw itself at the old 0.2.7 size.
297 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
298 version 0.3.0 --
299 - buglet fix in MakeWindow so we don't XMapWindow every time (thanks nyz!)
300 - alrighty then, the -miniMe controversy continues. kns mentioned an idea
301 for a new miniMe look and I like it. _I_ may even use -miniMe now.
302 =:) Here's the thing, I really don't care at all about -miniMe, since
303 I use him at full-size. If somebody wants to code for this to be a
304 configurable option (bbkeys.keyhole.size or bbkeys.keyhole.width, etc.),
305 I'll be more than happy to look at it.
307 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
308 version 0.2.8 --
309 - included new Image classes from the latest blackbox source so luqin's
310 and r00tv's styles work. =:) Oh, it'll help other people too, but
311 they pested me first.
312 - added Workspace9, 10, 11, and 12 to keygrabs and configurator
314 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
315 version 0.2.7 --
317 - added MaximizeVertical and MaximizeHorizontal key-grabbability. Don't
318 know why it didn't occur to me earlier. =:) nyz did all the hard work
319 4 releases ago.
321 - As of this release of bbkeys, I'm no longer going to support the gtk
322 configurator (unless I get a WHOLE lot of of input to the contrary).
323 I've re-written the gui configurator in qt (thanks to luqin for the
324 beginnings of this) and let me tell you, it is a WHOLE lot easier to
325 work with qt2 than gtk. Much, much cleaner. You doubt?

344 734 lines of code versus 1588 makes me a happy, happy SE. =:)
346 - So, I'm pulling out the bbkeysConfigGtk directory from the bbkeys source
347 tarball and in its place is bbkeysconf. I'll also be regulaly
348 posting rpms of both bbkeys and bbkeysconf as new releases rear their
349 ugly little heads, as well as one last RPM of bbkeysConfigGtk as well
350 as the tarball for bbkeysConfigGtk if anybody just HAS to have the gtk
351 version. =:)
353 - As a result of this, the -no[gtk] for bbkeys will change to -no[qt].
355 - Slight buglet fix for bbkeys when he's in iconic mode to properly set
356 WM_ICON_NAME (Thanks to Mats Jonson for the bug-report. =:) ) so bbkeys
357 shows up as bbkeys and not "Unnamed" in blackbox's Icon list.
360 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
361 version 0.2.6 --
362 - Weehee!!! Much bug-squashing release!!!
363 - added ability for bbkeys to minimize itself (right-click on bbkeys's
364 "close" button). This should satisfy those of us who would like to not
365 see the beautiful little application I wrote and just use it. *sniff* =:)
366 - added "-iconic" switch, so bbkeys can be launched in minimized mode.
367 Again, *sniff* Nobody likes my pretty window. =:)
368 - fixed a few undocumented features...
369 -- bbkeys queued up all keystroke combos while external gooey configurator
370 was running and then did then all at once, really quick-like when you
371 came back from the configurator. This tended to annoy my users. =:)
372 -- bbkeys wasn't releasing grabbed keys before it launched the
373 configurator, so the configurator wasn't receiving any of the previously
374 grabbed keys. XSync(False) does wonders. =:)
375 - updated bbkeysConfigGtk to allow configuration of ExecCommand directives.
377 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
378 version 0.2.5 --
379 - erm. forgot to write in this for a while. =:)
380 - took out timer implementation for ~/.bbkeysrc changing -- this should fix
381 the abnormally high CPU/MEM usage that bbkeys has shown -- and replaced it
382 with a virtual function call to CheckConfig out of BaseDisplay.cc.
383 - thought about changing the configurators, then changed my mind. =:\
385 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
386 version 0.2.3 --
387 - fix for bbkeys not pickup up anything for its frame color/texture
388 (thanks to luqin for the patch. =:) )
390 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
391 version 0.2.2 --
392 - added ExecCommand feature so users can define programs to execute with
393 a given keystroke. Syntax is as follows:
395 KeyToGrab(F1), WithModifier(Mod1), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(PROGRAM)
397 where PROGRAM is whatever you want to launch. PROGRAM must be in your PATH
398 if it is not given with a path. (duh) =:)
400 - improved the logic (hopefully) surrounding resource loading. Took
401 loadKeygrabs out of reconfigure() (which gets hit on every Expose event)
402 which should improve bbkeys's performance. Also, apparently I've never
403 put in the code that I thought I did which checks ~/.bbkeysrc for changes.
404 That should work correctly now.
407 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
408 version 0.2.1 --
409 - fixed several style issues.
411 - fixed the bug with having two "-n" switches. =:) now, "-no[gtk]" is the
412 way to tell bbkeys to launch the xterm-based conflagurator
414 - re-coded bbkeys' internals (made them much more intuitive and easy to read).
415 bbkeys uses 3 basic objects: Window's, GEOM(etry objects), and Pixmap
416 objects. The Windows are physical units of space that X communicates with.
417 The GEOM objects are pretty self-explanatory, x, y, height, width. And
418 the Pixmap objects contain the image that is mapped onto the window itself.
419 It goes like this:
420 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
421 Windows: GEOMs: Pixmaps: resource->objects and what
422 resources bbkeys uses for them
423 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
424 win_title geom_title pix_title label.texture
425 window.label.focus
426 win_back geom_back pix_back frame.texture
427 window.title.focus
428 win_closeBtn geom_closeBtn pix_closeBtn button.texture
429 window.button.focus
430 win_configBtn geom_configBtn pix_configBtn button.texture
431 window.button.focus
432 pix_pressedBtn button.texture_pressed
433 window.button.pressed
434 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
436 - fixed style files in data/ (silly me, I forgot to change them over from
437 bbpager's style files. ) Extra-special thanks to sourceo for pointing
438 this little bit to me and reminding me to put it in the ChangeLog =:)
440 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
441 version 0.2.0 --
442 - got rid of all the old bbws code base from bbkeys and ported the whole
443 darned thing to kns's bbpager-0.2.5-alpha code base.
445 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
446 version 0.1.4 --
448 - added "-mini-Me" switch =:) for those people *cough* sissies *cough* who
449 complain about bbkeys' size. So size DOES matter.... erm, anyway, if
450 launched with the "-mini-Me" option, bbkeys will draw a cute little window
451 10x10 in size (or whatever I feel like, dangit) containing just the button
452 to launch the configurator, instead of the regular, full-blown window. No
453 exit button for YOU! =:) Let me know if this doesn't suit you....
455 - improved documentation of sorts. Ugly habit, this documentation stuff. If
456 you look in README, you'll now see all of the commands that bbkeys will
457 think about obeying. If it feels like it. And if you ask really, really
458 nicely.
