1 Changes since wmaker 0.64.0:
2 ............................
4 - made programmatic scroller changes send notifications
5 - replaced WMSetBoxExpandsToParent with WMSetViewExpands...
6 - added WMGetLabelFont()
7 - added WMAddPersistentTimerHandler()
8 - Moved all internal handlers (timer, idle and input) to handlers.c
9 - simplified wevent.c and wutil.c.
10 - fixed handling of input with poll (was broken)
11 - fixed mem leak that occured when input handling was done with poll
12 - simpler and more straightforward event handling for timer, idle, input
13 and X events (also fixed some problems the old handling logic had)
14 - moved timer, idle and input handler definitions and prototypes from
15 WINGs.h to WUtil.h because they're not GUI related.
16 - better and more robust handling of events (timer, idle, input, X) in
17 WMMaskEvent(). Also fixed a bug where input and timer events were not
18 treated for undefined periods of time under some circumstances.
19 - fixed secure textfields not to allow text selection, to avoid compromising
20 sensitive information by pasting it to a terminal.
21 - replaced wmkrange(), wmkpoint() and wmksize() functions with macros.
22 - added WMRemoveFromArrayMatching(array, match, cdata), which will remove the
23 first element in the array that is matched by match(item, cdata)==True.
24 - added WMArrayFirst(), WMArrayLast(), WMArrayNext() and WMArrayPrevious()
25 functions and also WM_ITERATE_ARRAY() and WM_ETARETI_ARRAY() macros, to make
26 interfaces to WMBag and WMArray similar and to make life a little simpler
27 when iterating through all elements of an array.
28 - replaced bags with arrays wherever appropriate. This will improve
30 - replaced some recursive code with iterative code in selection.c
31 - added WMCreateBlendedPixmapFromRImage()
33 1. Renamed WMSetApplicationIconImage(), WMGetApplicationIconImage() and
34 WMSetWindowMiniwindowImage() to respectively WMSetApplicationIconPixmap(),
35 WMGetApplicationIconPixmap() and WMSetWindowMiniwindowPixmap()
36 They operate on a WMPixmap which is practically an X Pixmap with no alpha
37 channel information and the new name is more suggestive and also leaves
38 room for the new functions added for operating on images with alpha info.
39 2. Added WMSetApplicationIconImage() and WMGetApplicationIconImage() which
40 operate on an RImage and store alpha information too.
41 3. Added WMCreateApplicationIconBlendedPixmap() which will take the image
42 set by WMSetApplicationIconImage() and will combine it with a color.
43 If color is NULL it will blend using the default panel color (#aeaaae)
44 All these changes will allow WINGs to handle images with alpha blending
45 correctly in panels and wherever else needed. More about in NEWS.
46 - updated panels to use the newly available RImages if present and fallback
47 to old WMPixmaps if not, to properly show alpha blended images.
48 - replaced some still left malloc's with wmalloc's.
49 - fixed a bug in WMReparentWidget()
50 - added WMReparentWidget() to WINGs.h
51 - fixed a bug that made the scroller knob jump backwards when dragged (this
52 bug had no relation with the behavior that #define STRICT_NEXT_BEHAVIOUR
53 attempts to accomplish).
54 - fixed scrolling direction with mouse wheel for horizontal scroller.
57 changes since wmaker 0.63.1:
58 ............................
59 - added WMRunModalLoop() and WMBreakModalLoop()
60 - added WMSetBoxExpandsToParent()
61 - added WMRemoveBoxSubview()
62 - moved WINGs headers in a WINGs subdirectory when installed.
63 use #include <WINGs/header_file_name> in your application from now on.
64 Also updated get-{wings|wutil}-flags.
65 - Fixed a mem leak in WMList.
66 - Fixed a bug that caused sigsegv for a WMList with more than 32767 items.
67 - Added an example of how to create a server type program with WMConnection.
68 - added WMOpenScreen()
71 changes since wmaker 0.62.1:
72 ............................
74 - added WText widget (rtf multiline text widget)
75 Nwanua Elumeze <nwanua@colorado.edu>
76 - added a new AUTO option for the UseMultiByte option
77 - added WMRaiseWidget()/WMLowerWidget()
78 - added missing EscapeTextMovement to textfield delegate/notification
79 - added WMGetLabelText()
80 - added WMReparentWidget()
81 - added WMCreateTabViewItem()
82 - added W_CreateUnmanagedTopView()
83 - added wtokenjoin(), wtokensplit(), wtokenfree(), wtrimspace()
84 - added WMWidgetIsMapped()
85 - added WMSetApplicationIconWindow()
86 - restructured the directory tree. Added Documentation, Examples and Tests
88 - removed WMArrayBag and reorganized WMTreeBag to be WMBag.
89 - added WMArray class.
90 - added WMSetWindowUserPosition()
91 - added WMGetListSelectedItems()
92 - added WMSetListAllowMultipleSelection(), WMListAllowsMultipleSelection().
93 - added WMSetListAllowEmptySelection(), WMListAllowsEmptySelection().
94 - WMListSelectionDidChangeNotification passes NULL as the notification
95 client data (previously passed the selected item row).
96 - added WMUnselectListItem(), WMSelectAllListItems(), WMUnselectAllListItems()
97 - better behavior of wheel mices in WMList. Simple mouse wheel events
98 will scroll by 1/3 of the WMList height. Using Shift as a modifier will
99 scroll line by line, while using Control as a modifier will scroll page
101 - better behavior of WMScroller regarding mouse wheel events. 'Shift' modifier
102 will scroll line by line, while 'Control' modifier will scroll page by page.
103 - fixed some buffer overflow allowing bugs.
104 - added WSDecrementWheel and WSIncrementWheel for handling mouse wheel in
105 scrollers and scrolled widgets. This should be treated like the WSxxxPage
106 counterparts, except it should scroll by page_size/3 instead of one full page
107 - added WMSetBrowserAllowMultipleSelection(), WMSetBrowserAllowEmptySelection()
108 WMBrowserAllowsMultipleSelection() and WMBrowserAllowsEmptySelection()
109 - WMBrowser now allows multiple selections.
110 - Added WMGetBrowserPaths() to retrieve the paths for browsers that allow
112 - WMDestroyWidget() now calls WMUnmapWidget() first
113 - added WMScrollerDidScrollNotification to scroller
114 - added WMGetScrollViewVisibleRect()
115 - fixed a mem leak in the browser code.
116 - renamed wstrappend() to wstrconcat(). wstrconcat(str1, str2) concatenates
117 str1 with str2 and returns that in a newly malloc'ed string.
118 Be sure to rename wstrappend with wstrconcat in your code too, else
119 hazardous things can happen!
120 - implemented a new wstrappend() function. wstrappend(dst, src) will append
121 src to dst modifing dst and returning a pointer to it. No new string is
122 generated, except if dst is NULL, in which case its the same as calling
124 dst can ONLY be NULL or a dynamically allocated string (obtained from a
125 call to malloc, realloc, wmalloc, wrealloc, ...). dst CANNOT be a static
126 or a constant string!
127 - added wmessage() for printing a variable formatted string to stderr, with
128 the program name prepended to it. Similar to wwarning(), except that it
129 doesn't add "warning:" in the output message.
131 - added WMAddTabViewItemWithView()
132 - added W_SetViewCursor()
133 - made Extra widgets library
134 - added table widget in Extras library
135 - added WMGetConnectionUnsentData() (WMGetConnectionQueuedData() too as an
137 - added WMSetConnectionCloseOnExec() to specify if the socket associated
138 with a connection survives an exec* call or not. When a new connection is
139 created using the WMCreate... or WMAcceptConnection() calls, it has the
140 close on exec flag set automatically to 'True' by the library. Unless
141 you want to let the socket of some connection to survive across an exec*
142 call, you need not to call this function.
143 - removed all the wsyserror() and wwarning() calls from host.c and
144 connection.c and replaced where appropriate with assertions. If a function
145 returns some invalid result, you can still get the system error message if
146 you need, by calling wsyserrorwithcode() and passing WCErrorCode, if
147 WCErrorCode > 0. If WCErrorCode==0, that is not a system error, and
148 wsyserrorwithcode() should not be called in this case.
149 - added WMNextHashEnumeratorKey() to retrieve all keys in some hash enumerator
151 - fixed a bug with mouse wheels scrolling in scrollers even with the widget
153 - Fixed a memory leak (the destroy function for a view was never called and
154 as a result the shaded windows didn't go away when closed. The non-shaded
155 windows were unmapped on close but not destroyed either so they only
156 apparently went away, but continued to use memory).
160 changes since wmaker 0.62.0:
161 ............................
162 - added WMSetWidgetDefaultFont(), WMSetWidgetDefaultBoldFont()
166 changes since wmaker 0.62.0:
167 ............................
168 - added WM{S,G}etDataFormat()
169 - added drag and drop
170 - changed selection code
171 - added clientdata to WMFindInBag
172 - removed SetWindowInitialSize()
173 - added SetWindowAspectRatio()
174 - added initial timeout when establishing a connection.
175 - added WMSetConnectionDefaultTimeout() and WMSetConnectionOpenTimeout();
176 - added WMGetConnectionTimeoutState()
178 changes since wmaker 0.61.1:
179 ............................
181 - WARNING: semantic of bags has changed!
182 An index assigned to an item will always keep that index unless
183 you insert an item before it.
187 WMSetInBag(bag, 10, "bla");
188 That code will put "bla" in index 10, instead of 0, as it used to be.
189 - fixed WMInsertInBag(). It ignored index, and always put the new item at end.
190 - added WMSaveUserDefaults().
191 - rewrote WMPopUpButton to use WMMenuItem
192 - added WMGetPopUpButtonMenuItem(WMPopUpButton *bPtr, int index)
193 - WMSortListItemsWithComparer(WMList *lPtr, (int)(f)(const void*, const void*))
194 - WMSortBrowserColumnWithComparer()
195 - fixed bug with sorting list items.
196 - fixed bug in handling keyboard input associated with selection and
197 notification sending.
198 - filepanel puts dirs on top of list (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
199 - added WMReplaceInBag (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
200 - added vertical views and multiple views in WMSplitView (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
201 - changed values of parameter values of WMSplitViewConstrainProc()
202 - configurable default fontsize patch (Igor P. Roboul <igor@mordor.myip.org>)
203 - fixed a bug that crashed the programm when a popup button was scrolled.
204 - fixed a bug that caused incorrect drawing position of the popup indicator.
205 - fixed a bug that prevented selecting no item (-1) in a popup button.
206 - an assertion will be raised if the program tries to select a popup button
207 item that is beyond the total number of items present in the popup button.
208 - changed names of functions for SplitView to be consistent. Some contained
209 SubView while other Subview. Now all have Subview.
210 - fixed a bug in how input events were posted. Establishing 2 or more input
211 handlers for the same file descriptor, handling different (read/write/except)
212 events, caused wrong handlers to be called.
213 - Reimplemented the input and idle handlers with WMBag to avoid a functional
214 problem with them: inability to remove handlers next to the called one, from
215 the called handler itself. Trying to do this with the old version caused the
217 - changed wrealloc behaviour to be like this: new = wrealloc(old, new_size);
218 1. if old is NULL, return wmalloc(new_size).
219 2. if new_size is 0, call wfree(old), and return NULL.
220 3. if both old is a valid pointer and new_size>0, call realloc.
221 - added wstrerror(int errnum) to return the string associated with errnum.
222 - new wsyserrorwithcode(int error, const char* fmt, ...), similar to
223 wsyserror(), but printing the message for the specified error code.
224 - added 3 new classes: WMData, WMHost and WMConnection
225 - fixed a big memory leak in the color panel code (from Pascal Hofstee).
226 - added scrolling to tabview
228 changes since wmaker 0.61.0:
229 ............................
231 - added WMGetTextFieldFont()
232 - escape key in panels (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
233 - applied patch with fixes and enhancements to textfield
234 (Franck Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
235 - changed WMList to use WMBag internally, instead of a linked list
236 - replaced WMAddSortedListItem() with WMSortListItems()
237 - replaced WMAddSortedBrowserItem() with WMSortBrowserColumn()
239 changes since wmaker 0.60.0:
240 ............................
242 - added WMScreenWidth() and WMScreenHeight() functions.
243 - fixed some problems when compiling with non gcc compilers.
244 - added WMSetTextFieldFont()
245 - added WMSetButtonImageDefault() (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
246 - added WMBag (array/list)
247 - added libWUtil, a library that is a subset of libWINGs. It contains utils
248 that can be used in writing non-GUI programs. They include: hashes,
249 notifications, input/idle/timer handlers, user defaults database handling,
250 memory handling, application resource handling, etc.
251 All the non-GUI stuff from libWINGs is present.
252 Still linWINGs contain all this stuff so if you use libWINGs, you don't
253 need to link against libWUtil too.
254 One notable aspect of libWUtil is that it has a modified version of the
255 event handling function. It is named WHandleEvents() and will handle all
256 input/idle/timer events the app has.
257 If your app has a permanent input handler (as for example a socket a server
258 is listening on), then the main loop of the app can be:
262 but if there is no permanent input handler, you need to add some delay to
263 avoid a too high cpu load by your program:
268 A permanent input handler is one that is established when the program starts
269 and is present until the program exits.
270 One that is deleted and later reinstalled, is not considered permanent.
271 This difference is because if there is some input handler, the function will
272 block until some event appears, while if there is no input handler the
273 function will return almost immediately (after handling the timer/idle
276 Except the stuff declared in WUtil.h, the following functions declared in
277 WINGs.h are also present in libWUtil (you will need to #include <WINGs.h>
278 if you use one of these):
279 WMInitializeApplication(char *applicationName, int *argc, char **argv);
280 WMSetResourcePath(char *path);
281 WMGetApplicationName();
282 WMPathForResourceOfType(char *resource, char *ext);
283 WMAddTimerHandler(int milliseconds, WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
284 WMDeleteTimerWithClientData(void *cdata);
285 WMDeleteTimerHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
286 WMAddIdleHandler(WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
287 WMDeleteIdleHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
288 WMAddInputHandler(int fd, int condition, WMInputProc *proc,
290 WMDeleteInputHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
291 - added progress indicator widget
292 - Changed WMSetWindowUPosition() and WMSetWindowUSize() to
293 WMSetWindowInitialPosition() and WMSetWindowInitialSize() respectively,
294 for better naming conventions.
297 changes since wmaker 0.53.0:
298 ............................
301 - fixed a bug with setting initial path in browsers.
302 - added WMSetButtonImageDimsWhenDisabled()
303 - changed simple callback/notifications to delegate-like stuff. Affected
306 - WMSetBrowserFillProc() was replaced with WMSetBrowserDelegate
307 - WMBrowserDidScrollNotification was replaced with a delegate callback
309 WMTextField (not completed yet)
310 The notifications will still work, but using the delegate is preferable
312 How to convert old code to delegate callbacks:
313 1 - create a variable (static or dynamic) of the type of the
314 delegate for the widget type.
315 2 - Replace the notification observers with the equivalent
317 3 - Put pointers to the callbacks in the delegate variable.
319 Take a look in wfilepanel.c to see how it is used there.
321 - changed W_ViewProcedureTable to delegates
322 This will only affect user created widgets. If you have a custom
323 widget, you will need to update the callbacks and the declaration
324 of the W_ViewProcedureTable variable to be a W_ViewDelegate,
325 which is declared in WINGsP.h To setup the delegate, assign
326 the delegate variable to view->delegate.
329 Removed all the didChange notifications that were sent when the text
330 was changed programmatically. Only changes made by user interaction
331 will be notified now. If you need the old behaviour, send notifications
332 manually when you change the text.
335 - added WMGetColorPanelColor(WMColorPanel *panel)
336 - made WMGetUDStringForKey() to only return a reference to the string, not a
337 wstrdup()'ed copy. DO NOT FREE IT ANYMORE!
338 - added MultiByteText option to userdefaults file to control use of multibyte
339 string drawing functions
340 - renamed WMCreateFont() to WMCreateFontSet()
341 - renamed WMCreateFontInDefaultEncoding() to WMCreateNormalFont()
342 - added WMCreateFont() with different semantics

478 I don't remember everything, but here it goes:
480 - fixed some bugs in text field
481 - added a incomplete implementation of split view (not yet usable)

490 - added WMSetPopUpButtonText(). It will set the default text in the button
491 when no options are selected
492 - fixed bug in remove/add item in already mapped popupbuttons. Note: it is
493 not good practice to change the contents of a popup button when it's
494 already visible and the user has probably interacted with it.
