12 - added WMOpenScreen()
15 changes since wmaker 0.62.1:
16 ............................
18 - added WText widget (rtf multiline text widget)
19 Nwanua Elumeze <nwanua@colorado.edu>
20 - added a new AUTO option for the UseMultiByte option
21 - added WMRaiseWidget()/WMLowerWidget()
22 - added missing EscapeTextMovement to textfield delegate/notification
23 - added WMGetLabelText()
24 - added WMReparentWidget()
25 - added WMCreateTabViewItem()
26 - added W_CreateUnmanagedTopView()
27 - added wtokenjoin(), wtokensplit(), wtokenfree(), wtrimspace()
28 - added WMWidgetIsMapped()
29 - added WMSetApplicationIconWindow()
30 - restructured the directory tree. Added Documentation, Examples and Tests
32 - removed WMArrayBag and reorganized WMTreeBag to be WMBag.
33 - added WMArray class.
34 - added WMSetWindowUserPosition()
35 - added WMGetListSelectedItems()
36 - added WMSetListAllowMultipleSelection(), WMListAllowsMultipleSelection().
37 - added WMSetListAllowEmptySelection(), WMListAllowsEmptySelection().
38 - WMListSelectionDidChangeNotification passes NULL as the notification
39 client data (previously passed the selected item row).
40 - added WMUnselectListItem(), WMSelectAllListItems(), WMUnselectAllListItems()
41 - better behavior of wheel mices in WMList. Simple mouse wheel events
42 will scroll by 1/3 of the WMList height. Using Shift as a modifier will
43 scroll line by line, while using Control as a modifier will scroll page
45 - better behavior of WMScroller regarding mouse wheel events. 'Shift' modifier
46 will scroll line by line, while 'Control' modifier will scroll page by page.
47 - fixed some buffer overflow allowing bugs.
48 - added WSDecrementWheel and WSIncrementWheel for handling mouse wheel in
49 scrollers and scrolled widgets. This should be treated like the WSxxxPage
50 counterparts, except it should scroll by page_size/3 instead of one full page
51 - added WMSetBrowserAllowMultipleSelection(), WMSetBrowserAllowEmptySelection()
52 WMBrowserAllowsMultipleSelection() and WMBrowserAllowsEmptySelection()
53 - WMBrowser now allows multiple selections.
54 - Added WMGetBrowserPaths() to retrieve the paths for browsers that allow
56 - WMDestroyWidget() now calls WMUnmapWidget() first
57 - added WMScrollerDidScrollNotification to scroller
58 - added WMGetScrollViewVisibleRect()
59 - fixed a mem leak in the browser code.
60 - renamed wstrappend() to wstrconcat(). wstrconcat(str1, str2) concatenates
61 str1 with str2 and returns that in a newly malloc'ed string.
62 Be sure to rename wstrappend with wstrconcat in your code too, else
63 hazardous things can happen!
64 - implemented a new wstrappend() function. wstrappend(dst, src) will append
65 src to dst modifing dst and returning a pointer to it. No new string is
66 generated, except if dst is NULL, in which case its the same as calling
68 dst can ONLY be NULL or a dynamically allocated string (obtained from a
69 call to malloc, realloc, wmalloc, wrealloc, ...). dst CANNOT be a static
71 - added wmessage() for printing a variable formatted string to stderr, with
72 the program name prepended to it. Similar to wwarning(), except that it
73 doesn't add "warning:" in the output message.
75 - added WMAddTabViewItemWithView()
76 - added W_SetViewCursor()
77 - made Extra widgets library
78 - added table widget in Extras library
79 - added WMGetConnectionUnsentData() (WMGetConnectionQueuedData() too as an
81 - added WMSetConnectionCloseOnExec() to specify if the socket associated
82 with a connection survives an exec* call or not. When a new connection is
83 created using the WMCreate... or WMAcceptConnection() calls, it has the
84 close on exec flag set automatically to 'True' by the library. Unless
85 you want to let the socket of some connection to survive across an exec*
86 call, you need not to call this function.
87 - removed all the wsyserror() and wwarning() calls from host.c and
88 connection.c and replaced where appropriate with assertions. If a function
89 returns some invalid result, you can still get the system error message if
90 you need, by calling wsyserrorwithcode() and passing WCErrorCode, if
91 WCErrorCode > 0. If WCErrorCode==0, that is not a system error, and
92 wsyserrorwithcode() should not be called in this case.
93 - added WMNextHashEnumeratorKey() to retrieve all keys in some hash enumerator
95 - fixed a bug with mouse wheels scrolling in scrollers even with the widget
97 - Fixed a memory leak (the destroy function for a view was never called and
98 as a result the shaded windows didn't go away when closed. The non-shaded
99 windows were unmapped on close but not destroyed either so they only
100 apparently went away, but continued to use memory).
104 changes since wmaker 0.62.0:
105 ............................
106 - added WMSetWidgetDefaultFont(), WMSetWidgetDefaultBoldFont()

117 - added SetWindowAspectRatio()
118 - added initial timeout when establishing a connection.
119 - added WMSetConnectionDefaultTimeout() and WMSetConnectionOpenTimeout();
120 - added WMGetConnectionTimeoutState()
122 changes since wmaker 0.61.1:
123 ............................
125 - WARNING: semantic of bags has changed!
126 An index assigned to an item will always keep that index unless
127 you insert an item before it.
131 WMSetInBag(bag, 10, "bla");
132 That code will put "bla" in index 10, instead of 0, as it used to be.
133 - fixed WMInsertInBag(). It ignored index, and always put the new item at end.
134 - added WMSaveUserDefaults().
135 - rewrote WMPopUpButton to use WMMenuItem
136 - added WMGetPopUpButtonMenuItem(WMPopUpButton *bPtr, int index)
137 - WMSortListItemsWithComparer(WMList *lPtr, (int)(f)(const void*, const void*))
138 - WMSortBrowserColumnWithComparer()
139 - fixed bug with sorting list items.
140 - fixed bug in handling keyboard input associated with selection and
141 notification sending.
142 - filepanel puts dirs on top of list (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
143 - added WMReplaceInBag (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
144 - added vertical views and multiple views in WMSplitView (Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
145 - changed values of parameter values of WMSplitViewConstrainProc()
146 - configurable default fontsize patch (Igor P. Roboul <igor@mordor.myip.org>)
147 - fixed a bug that crashed the programm when a popup button was scrolled.
148 - fixed a bug that caused incorrect drawing position of the popup indicator.
149 - fixed a bug that prevented selecting no item (-1) in a popup button.
150 - an assertion will be raised if the program tries to select a popup button
151 item that is beyond the total number of items present in the popup button.
152 - changed names of functions for SplitView to be consistent. Some contained
153 SubView while other Subview. Now all have Subview.
154 - fixed a bug in how input events were posted. Establishing 2 or more input
155 handlers for the same file descriptor, handling different (read/write/except)
156 events, caused wrong handlers to be called.
157 - Reimplemented the input and idle handlers with WMBag to avoid a functional
158 problem with them: inability to remove handlers next to the called one, from
159 the called handler itself. Trying to do this with the old version caused the
161 - changed wrealloc behaviour to be like this: new = wrealloc(old, new_size);
162 1. if old is NULL, return wmalloc(new_size).
163 2. if new_size is 0, call wfree(old), and return NULL.
164 3. if both old is a valid pointer and new_size>0, call realloc.
165 - added wstrerror(int errnum) to return the string associated with errnum.
166 - new wsyserrorwithcode(int error, const char* fmt, ...), similar to
167 wsyserror(), but printing the message for the specified error code.
168 - added 3 new classes: WMData, WMHost and WMConnection
169 - fixed a big memory leak in the color panel code (from Pascal Hofstee).
170 - added scrolling to tabview
172 changes since wmaker 0.61.0:

176 - escape key in panels (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
177 - applied patch with fixes and enhancements to textfield
178 (Franck Wolff <wolff@cybercable.fr>)
179 - changed WMList to use WMBag internally, instead of a linked list
180 - replaced WMAddSortedListItem() with WMSortListItems()
181 - replaced WMAddSortedBrowserItem() with WMSortBrowserColumn()
183 changes since wmaker 0.60.0:
184 ............................
186 - added WMScreenWidth() and WMScreenHeight() functions.
187 - fixed some problems when compiling with non gcc compilers.
188 - added WMSetTextFieldFont()
189 - added WMSetButtonImageDefault() (craig nellist <crn@ozemail.com.au>)
190 - added WMBag (array/list)
191 - added libWUtil, a library that is a subset of libWINGs. It contains utils
192 that can be used in writing non-GUI programs. They include: hashes,
193 notifications, input/idle/timer handlers, user defaults database handling,
194 memory handling, application resource handling, etc.
195 All the non-GUI stuff from libWINGs is present.
196 Still linWINGs contain all this stuff so if you use libWINGs, you don't
197 need to link against libWUtil too.
198 One notable aspect of libWUtil is that it has a modified version of the
199 event handling function. It is named WHandleEvents() and will handle all
200 input/idle/timer events the app has.
201 If your app has a permanent input handler (as for example a socket a server
202 is listening on), then the main loop of the app can be:
206 but if there is no permanent input handler, you need to add some delay to
207 avoid a too high cpu load by your program:
212 A permanent input handler is one that is established when the program starts
213 and is present until the program exits.
214 One that is deleted and later reinstalled, is not considered permanent.
215 This difference is because if there is some input handler, the function will
216 block until some event appears, while if there is no input handler the
217 function will return almost immediately (after handling the timer/idle
220 Except the stuff declared in WUtil.h, the following functions declared in
221 WINGs.h are also present in libWUtil (you will need to #include <WINGs.h>
222 if you use one of these):
223 WMInitializeApplication(char *applicationName, int *argc, char **argv);
224 WMSetResourcePath(char *path);
225 WMGetApplicationName();
226 WMPathForResourceOfType(char *resource, char *ext);
227 WMAddTimerHandler(int milliseconds, WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
228 WMDeleteTimerWithClientData(void *cdata);
229 WMDeleteTimerHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
230 WMAddIdleHandler(WMCallback *callback, void *cdata);
231 WMDeleteIdleHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
232 WMAddInputHandler(int fd, int condition, WMInputProc *proc,
234 WMDeleteInputHandler(WMHandlerID handlerID);
235 - added progress indicator widget
236 - Changed WMSetWindowUPosition() and WMSetWindowUSize() to
237 WMSetWindowInitialPosition() and WMSetWindowInitialSize() respectively,
238 for better naming conventions.
241 changes since wmaker 0.53.0:
242 ............................
245 - fixed a bug with setting initial path in browsers.
246 - added WMSetButtonImageDimsWhenDisabled()
247 - changed simple callback/notifications to delegate-like stuff. Affected
250 - WMSetBrowserFillProc() was replaced with WMSetBrowserDelegate
251 - WMBrowserDidScrollNotification was replaced with a delegate callback
253 WMTextField (not completed yet)
254 The notifications will still work, but using the delegate is preferable
256 How to convert old code to delegate callbacks:
257 1 - create a variable (static or dynamic) of the type of the
258 delegate for the widget type.
259 2 - Replace the notification observers with the equivalent
261 3 - Put pointers to the callbacks in the delegate variable.
263 Take a look in wfilepanel.c to see how it is used there.
265 - changed W_ViewProcedureTable to delegates
266 This will only affect user created widgets. If you have a custom
267 widget, you will need to update the callbacks and the declaration
268 of the W_ViewProcedureTable variable to be a W_ViewDelegate,
269 which is declared in WINGsP.h To setup the delegate, assign
270 the delegate variable to view->delegate.
273 Removed all the didChange notifications that were sent when the text
274 was changed programmatically. Only changes made by user interaction
275 will be notified now. If you need the old behaviour, send notifications
276 manually when you change the text.
279 - added WMGetColorPanelColor(WMColorPanel *panel)
280 - made WMGetUDStringForKey() to only return a reference to the string, not a
281 wstrdup()'ed copy. DO NOT FREE IT ANYMORE!
282 - added MultiByteText option to userdefaults file to control use of multibyte
283 string drawing functions
284 - renamed WMCreateFont() to WMCreateFontSet()
