The New GWM version: 1.4.1.13 is out
(on expo.lcs.mit.edu and avahi.inria.fr + mail servers)
It consists mostly of bug fixes.
I have also put on expo a popular GWM profile, "croap-profile" (in use in
Gilles Kahn's CROAP project). To use it, you must de-shar it in a directory
and set GWMPATH to it. It do not follows the "standard profile" conventions,
and works only in "monoscreen" mode (but is nice on color displays). To
customize it, see the exemple file "profile.x.gwm" (comments are in french
:-)). This should be useful for gwm programmers looking for examples.
Here an excerpt of the CHANGES files for 1.4.1.13:
1.4.1.13 (89/08/18) bug fixes
INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH PREVIOUS PROFILES:
- ! does not fork a shell anymore, directly executes command instead.
Now you must break yourself the command line into arguments, i.e.
change (! "xterm -fn 6x10") in (! "xterm" "-fn" "6x10")
and (! "for i in `cat ~/.xloads`;do rxload $i;done")
in (! "/bin/sh" "-c" "for i in `cat ~/.xloads`;do rxload $i;done")
COMPATIBLE ENHANCEMENTS:
- -q flag for quiet start up (sets "gwm-quiet" var)
- pop-menu and unpop-menu now do a XSync
BUGS CORRECTED:
- = didn't check type of second arg in some cases
- window was lost if mapped on another screen
- some timing bugs could prevent windows from mapping after X errors
- current-event-relative-y was broken (returned the x value)
- grab-server was bugged when given a wob as argument
STANDARD PROFILE MODS:
- xterms/xload called by the pop-up menu now are created on the same
screen as the menu.
- set-icon evaluates list if given in argument (and is debugged, too)
