1 changes since wmaker 0.62.1:
2 ............................
4 - added WText widget (rtf multiline text widget)
5 Nwanua Elumeze <nwanua@colorado.edu>
6 - added a new AUTO option for the UseMultiByte option
7 - added WMRaiseWidget()/WMLowerWidget()
8 - added missing EscapeTextMovement to textfield delegate/notification
9 - added WMGetLabelText()
10 - added WMReparentWidget()
11 - added WMCreateTabViewItem()
12 - added W_CreateUnmanagedTopView()
13 - added wtokenjoin(), wtokensplit(), wtokenfree(), wtrimspace()
14 - added WMWidgetIsMapped()
15 - added WMSetApplicationIconWindow()
16 - restructured the directory tree. Added Documentation, Examples and Tests
18 - removed WMArrayBag and reorganized WMTreeBag to be WMBag.
19 - added WMArray class.
20 - added WMSetWindowUserPosition()
21 - added WMGetListSelectedItems()
22 - added WMSetListAllowMultipleSelection(), WMListAllowsMultipleSelection().
23 - added WMSetListAllowEmptySelection(), WMListAllowsEmptySelection().
24 - WMListSelectionDidChangeNotification passes NULL as the notification
25 client data (previously passed the selected item row).
26 - added WMUnselectListItem(), WMSelectAllListItems(), WMUnselectAllListItems()
27 - better behavior of wheel mices in WMList. Simple mouse wheel events
28 will scroll by 1/3 of the WMList height. Using Shift as a modifier will
29 scroll line by line, while using Control as a modifier will scroll page
31 - better behavior of WMScroller regarding mouse wheel events. 'Shift' modifier
32 will scroll line by line, while 'Control' modifier will scroll page by page.
33 - fixed some buffer overflow allowing bugs.
34 - added WSDecrementWheel and WSIncrementWheel for handling mouse wheel in
35 scrollers and scrolled widgets. This should be treated like the WSxxxPage
36 counterparts, except it should scroll by page_size/3 instead of one full page
37 - added WMSetBrowserAllowMultipleSelection(), WMSetBrowserAllowEmptySelection()
38 WMBrowserAllowsMultipleSelection() and WMBrowserAllowsEmptySelection()
39 - WMBrowser now allows multiple selections.
40 - Added WMGetBrowserPaths() to retrieve the paths for browsers that allow
42 - WMDestroyWidget() now calls WMUnmapWidget() first
43 - added WMScrollerDidScrollNotification to scroller
44 - added WMGetScrollViewVisibleRect()
45 - fixed a mem leak in the browser code.
46 - renamed wstrappend() to wstrconcat(). wstrconcat(str1, str2) concatenates
47 str1 with str2 and returns that in a newly malloc'ed string.
48 Be sure to rename wstrappend with wstrconcat in your code too, else
49 hazardous things can happen!
50 - implemented a new wstrappend() function. wstrappend(dst, src) will append
51 src to dst modifing dst and returning a pointer to it. No new string is
52 generated, except if dst is NULL, in which case its the same as calling
54 dst can ONLY be NULL or a dynamically allocated string (obtained from a
55 call to malloc, realloc, wmalloc, wrealloc, ...). dst CANNOT be a static
57 - added wmessage() for printing a variable formatted string to stderr, with
58 the program name prepended to it. Similar to wwarning(), except that it
59 doesn't add "warning:" in the output message.
61 - added W_SetViewCursor()
63 changes since wmaker 0.62.0:
64 ............................
65 - added WMSetWidgetDefaultFont(), WMSetWidgetDefaultBoldFont()
69 changes since wmaker 0.62.0:
70 ............................
71 - added WM{S,G}etDataFormat()
73 - changed selection code
74 - added clientdata to WMFindInBag
75 - removed SetWindowInitialSize()
76 - added SetWindowAspectRatio()
77 - added initial timeout when establishing a connection.
78 - added WMSetConnectionDefaultTimeout() and WMSetConnectionOpenTimeout();
79 - added WMGetConnectionTimeoutState()
81 changes since wmaker 0.61.1:
82 ............................
84 - WARNING: semantic of bags has changed!
85 An index assigned to an item will always keep that index unless
86 you insert an item before it.
90 WMSetInBag(bag, 10, "bla");
91 That code will put "bla" in index 10, instead of 0, as it used to be.
92 - fixed WMInsertInBag(). It ignored index, and always put the new item at end.
93 - added WMSaveUserDefaults().
94 - rewrote WMPopUpButton to use WMMenuItem
95 - added WMGetPopUpButtonMenuItem(WMPopUpButton *bPtr, int index)
96 - WMSortListItemsWithComparer(WMList *lPtr, (int)(f)(const void*, const void*))
97 - WMSortBrowserColumnWithComparer()
98 - fixed bug with sorting list items.
99 - fixed bug in handling keyboard input associated with selection and
100 notification sending.
101 - filepanel puts dirs on top of list (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
102 - added WMReplaceInBag (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
103 - added vertical views and multiple views in WMSplitView (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
104 - changed values of parameter values of WMSplitViewConstrainProc()
105 - configurable default fontsize patch (Igor P. Roboul <igor@mordor.myip.org>)
106 - fixed a bug that crashed the programm when a popup button was scrolled.
107 - fixed a bug that caused incorrect drawing position of the popup indicator.
108 - fixed a bug that prevented selecting no item (-1) in a popup button.
109 - an assertion will be raised if the program tries to select a popup button
110 item that is beyond the total number of items present in the popup button.
111 - changed names of functions for SplitView to be consistent. Some contained
112 SubView while other Subview. Now all have Subview.
113 - fixed a bug in how input events were posted. Establishing 2 or more input
114 handlers for the same file descriptor, handling different (read/write/except)
115 events, caused wrong handlers to be called.
116 - Reimplemented the input and idle handlers with WMBag to avoid a functional
117 problem with them: inability to remove handlers next to the called one, from
118 the called handler itself. Trying to do this with the old version caused the
120 - changed wrealloc behaviour to be like this: new = wrealloc(old, new_size);
121 1. if old is NULL, return wmalloc(new_size).
122 2. if new_size is 0, call wfree(old), and return NULL.
123 3. if both old is a valid pointer and new_size>0, call realloc.
124 - added wstrerror(int errnum) to return the string associated with errnum.
125 - new wsyserrorwithcode(int error, const char* fmt, ...), similar to
126 wsyserror(), but printing the message for the specified error code.
127 - added 3 new classes: WMData, WMHost and WMConnection
128 - fixed a big memory leak in the color panel code (from Pascal Hofstee).
129 - added scrolling to tabview
131 changes since wmaker 0.61.0:
132 ............................
134 - added WMGetTextFieldFont()
135 - escape key in panels (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
136 - applied patch with fixes and enhancements to textfield
137 (Franck Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
138 - changed WMList to use WMBag internally, instead of a linked list
139 - replaced WMAddSortedListItem() with WMSortListItems()
140 - replaced WMAddSortedBrowserItem() with WMSortBrowserColumn()
142 changes since wmaker 0.60.0:
143 ............................
145 - added WMScreenWidth() and WMScreenHeight() functions.
146 - fixed some problems when compiling with non gcc compilers.
147 - added WMSetTextFieldFont()
148 - added WMSetButtonImageDefault() (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
149 - added WMBag (array/list)
150 - added libWUtil, a library that is a subset of libWINGs. It contains utils
151 that can be used in writing non-GUI programs. They include: hashes,
152 notifications, input/idle/timer handlers, user defaults database handling,
153 memory handling, application resource handling, etc.
154 All the non-GUI stuff from libWINGs is present.
155 Still linWINGs contain all this stuff so if you use libWINGs, you don't
156 need to link against libWUtil too.
157 One notable aspect of libWUtil is that it has a modified version of the
158 event handling function. It is named WHandleEvents() and will handle all
159 input/idle/timer events the app has.
160 If your app has a permanent input handler (as for example a socket a server
161 is listening on), then the main loop of the app can be:
165 but if there is no permanent input handler, you need to add some delay to
166 avoid a too high cpu load by your program:
171 A permanent input handler is one that is established when the program starts
172 and is present until the program exits.
173 One that is deleted and later reinstalled, is not considered permanent.
174 This difference is because if there is some input handler, the function will
175 block until some event appears, while if there is no input handler the
176 function will return almost immediately (after handling the timer/idle
179 Except the stuff declared in WUtil.h, the following functions declared in
180 WINGs.h are also present in libWUtil (you will need to #include <WINGs.h>
181 if you use one of these):
182 WMInitializeApplication(char *applicationName, int *argc, char **argv);
183 WMSetResourcePath(char *path);
184 WMGetApplicationName();
185 WMPathForResourceOfType(char *resource, char *ext);
186 WMAddTimerHandler(int milliseconds, WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
187 WMDeleteTimerWithClientData(void *cdata);
188 WMDeleteTimerHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
189 WMAddIdleHandler(WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
190 WMDeleteIdleHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
191 WMAddInputHandler(int fd, int condition, WMInputProc *proc,
193 WMDeleteInputHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
194 - added progress indicator widget
195 - Changed WMSetWindowUPosition() and WMSetWindowUSize() to
196 WMSetWindowInitialPosition() and WMSetWindowInitialSize() respectively,
197 for better naming conventions.
200 changes since wmaker 0.53.0:
201 ............................
204 - fixed a bug with setting initial path in browsers.
205 - added WMSetButtonImageDimsWhenDisabled()
206 - changed simple callback/notifications to delegate-like stuff. Affected
209 - WMSetBrowserFillProc() was replaced with WMSetBrowserDelegate
210 - WMBrowserDidScrollNotification was replaced with a delegate callback
212 WMTextField (not completed yet)
213 The notifications will still work, but using the delegate is preferable
215 How to convert old code to delegate callbacks:
216 1 - create a variable (static or dynamic) of the type of the
217 delegate for the widget type.
218 2 - Replace the notification observers with the equivalent
220 3 - Put pointers to the callbacks in the delegate variable.
222 Take a look in wfilepanel.c to see how it is used there.
224 - changed W_ViewProcedureTable to delegates
225 This will only affect user created widgets. If you have a custom
226 widget, you will need to update the callbacks and the declaration
227 of the W_ViewProcedureTable variable to be a W_ViewDelegate,
228 which is declared in WINGsP.h To setup the delegate, assign
229 the delegate variable to view->delegate.
232 Removed all the didChange notifications that were sent when the text
233 was changed programmatically. Only changes made by user interaction
234 will be notified now. If you need the old behaviour, send notifications
235 manually when you change the text.
238 - added WMGetColorPanelColor(WMColorPanel *panel)
239 - made WMGetUDStringForKey() to only return a reference to the string, not a
240 wstrdup()'ed copy. DO NOT FREE IT ANYMORE!
241 - added MultiByteText option to userdefaults file to control use of multibyte
242 string drawing functions
243 - renamed WMCreateFont() to WMCreateFontSet()
244 - renamed WMCreateFontInDefaultEncoding() to WMCreateNormalFont()
245 - added WMCreateFont() with different semantics
