3 - added WM{S,G}etDataFormat()
5 - changed selection code
6 - added clientdata to WMFindInBag
7 - removed SetWindowInitialSize()
8 - added SetWindowAspectRatio()
10 changes since wmaker 0.61.1:
11 ............................
13 - WARNING: semantic of bags has changed!
14 An index assigned to an item will always keep that index unless
15 you insert an item before it.
19 WMSetInBag(bag, 10, "bla");
20 That code will put "bla" in index 10, instead of 0, as it used to be.
21 - fixed WMInsertInBag(). It ignored index, and always put the new item at end.
22 - added WMSaveUserDefaults().
23 - rewrote WMPopUpButton to use WMMenuItem
24 - added WMGetPopUpButtonMenuItem(WMPopUpButton *bPtr, int index)
25 - WMSortListItemsWithComparer(WMList *lPtr, (int)(f)(const void*, const void*))
26 - WMSortBrowserColumnWithComparer()
27 - fixed bug with sorting list items.
28 - fixed bug in handling keyboard input associated with selection and
30 - filepanel puts dirs on top of list (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
31 - added WMReplaceInBag (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
32 - added vertical views and multiple views in WMSplitView (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
33 - changed values of parameter values of WMSplitViewConstrainProc()
34 - configurable default fontsize patch (Igor P. Roboul <igor@mordor.myip.org>)
35 - fixed a bug that crashed the programm when a popup button was scrolled.
36 - fixed a bug that caused incorrect drawing position of the popup indicator.
37 - fixed a bug that prevented selecting no item (-1) in a popup button.
38 - an assertion will be raised if the program tries to select a popup button
39 item that is beyond the total number of items present in the popup button.
40 - changed names of functions for SplitView to be consistent. Some contained
41 SubView while other Subview. Now all have Subview.
42 - fixed a bug in how input events were posted. Establishing 2 or more input
43 handlers for the same file descriptor, handling different (read/write/except)
44 events, caused wrong handlers to be called.
45 - Reimplemented the input and idle handlers with WMBag to avoid a functional
46 problem with them: inability to remove handlers next to the called one, from
47 the called handler itself. Trying to do this with the old version caused the
49 - changed wrealloc behaviour to be like this: new = wrealloc(old, new_size);
50 1. if old is NULL, return wmalloc(new_size).
51 2. if new_size is 0, call wfree(old), and return NULL.
52 3. if both old is a valid pointer and new_size>0, call realloc.
53 - added wstrerror(int errnum) to return the string associated with errnum.
54 - new wsyserrorwithcode(int error, const char* fmt, ...), similar to
55 wsyserror(), but printing the message for the specified error code.
56 - added 3 new classes: WMData, WMHost and WMConnection
57 - fixed a big memory leak in the color panel code (from Pascal Hofstee).
58 - added scrolling to tabview

66 (Franck Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
67 - changed WMList to use WMBag internally, instead of a linked list
68 - replaced WMAddSortedListItem() with WMSortListItems()
69 - replaced WMAddSortedBrowserItem() with WMSortBrowserColumn()
71 changes since wmaker 0.60.0:
72 ............................
74 - added WMScreenWidth() and WMScreenHeight() functions.
75 - fixed some problems when compiling with non gcc compilers.
76 - added WMSetTextFieldFont()
77 - added WMSetButtonImageDefault() (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
78 - added WMBag (array/list)
79 - added libWUtil, a library that is a subset of libWINGs. It contains utils
80 that can be used in writing non-GUI programs. They include: hashes,
81 notifications, input/idle/timer handlers, user defaults database handling,
82 memory handling, application resource handling, etc.
83 All the non-GUI stuff from libWINGs is present.
84 Still linWINGs contain all this stuff so if you use libWINGs, you don't
85 need to link against libWUtil too.
86 One notable aspect of libWUtil is that it has a modified version of the
87 event handling function. It is named WHandleEvents() and will handle all
88 input/idle/timer events the app has.
89 If your app has a permanent input handler (as for example a socket a server
90 is listening on), then the main loop of the app can be:
94 but if there is no permanent input handler, you need to add some delay to
95 avoid a too high cpu load by your program:
100 A permanent input handler is one that is established when the program starts
101 and is present until the program exits.
102 One that is deleted and later reinstalled, is not considered permanent.
103 This difference is because if there is some input handler, the function will
104 block until some event appears, while if there is no input handler the
105 function will return almost immediately (after handling the timer/idle
108 Except the stuff declared in WUtil.h, the following functions declared in
109 WINGs.h are also present in libWUtil (you will need to #include <WINGs.h>
110 if you use one of these):
111 WMInitializeApplication(char *applicationName, int *argc, char **argv);
112 WMSetResourcePath(char *path);
113 WMGetApplicationName();
114 WMPathForResourceOfType(char *resource, char *ext);
115 WMAddTimerHandler(int milliseconds, WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
116 WMDeleteTimerWithClientData(void *cdata);
117 WMDeleteTimerHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
118 WMAddIdleHandler(WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
119 WMDeleteIdleHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
120 WMAddInputHandler(int fd, int condition, WMInputProc *proc,
122 WMDeleteInputHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
123 - added progress indicator widget
124 - Changed WMSetWindowUPosition() and WMSetWindowUSize() to
125 WMSetWindowInitialPosition() and WMSetWindowInitialSize() respectively,
126 for better naming conventions.
129 changes since wmaker 0.53.0:
130 ............................
133 - fixed a bug with setting initial path in browsers.
134 - added WMSetButtonImageDimsWhenDisabled()
135 - changed simple callback/notifications to delegate-like stuff. Affected
138 - WMSetBrowserFillProc() was replaced with WMSetBrowserDelegate
139 - WMBrowserDidScrollNotification was replaced with a delegate callback
141 WMTextField (not completed yet)
142 The notifications will still work, but using the delegate is preferable
144 How to convert old code to delegate callbacks:
145 1 - create a variable (static or dynamic) of the type of the
146 delegate for the widget type.
147 2 - Replace the notification observers with the equivalent
149 3 - Put pointers to the callbacks in the delegate variable.
151 Take a look in wfilepanel.c to see how it is used there.
153 - changed W_ViewProcedureTable to delegates
154 This will only affect user created widgets. If you have a custom
155 widget, you will need to update the callbacks and the declaration
156 of the W_ViewProcedureTable variable to be a W_ViewDelegate,
157 which is declared in WINGsP.h To setup the delegate, assign
158 the delegate variable to view->delegate.
161 Removed all the didChange notifications that were sent when the text
162 was changed programmatically. Only changes made by user interaction
163 will be notified now. If you need the old behaviour, send notifications
164 manually when you change the text.
167 - added WMGetColorPanelColor(WMColorPanel *panel)
168 - made WMGetUDStringForKey() to only return a reference to the string, not a
