colas@mirsa.inria.fr (Colas NAHABOO) (08/10/89)

GWM v1.4.1.10 is available from anonymous ftp on expo.lcs.mit.edu
and avahi.inria.fr (the route tables on avahi have been updated, access should
be possible now, mail me if it is not the case)

I have mailed the patches to daisy.uucp (west coast archive) and doc.ic.ac.uk
mail servers, too.

PS: If you are willing to redistribute patches by mail, send me a mail to be
included in the mailing list for email patches distribution.


1.4.1.10        (89/08/09)      bug fixes

    COMPATIBLE ENHANCEMENTS:

      - shell escape "!" uses now the content of the SHELL env. variable
        (dab@opus.cray.com (Dave Borman))

      - placed menus participate in the WM_DELETE ICCCM protocol, i.e. you
        can apply "delete-window" on a placed menu to destroy them.

      - Class of placed menus is now "Gwm" instead of "GWM".

      - defname of an atom having already a value sets all the created names
        in the existing namespace states to this value.

      - current-event-window-coords returns now also the coordinates in
        the decorating window (thus including the decoration) as 5th and 6th
        elements of the returned list

    BUGS CORRECTED:

      - typos in the doc (Olaf Heimburger <olaf@tubopal.uucp>)

      - (cursor-make number) works for all releases and for number = 0

      - place-menu with coords was bugged
        (Eirik Fuller <eirik@labs.labs.tek.com>)

      - composite wobs (bars, menus) always transmit user-events to their
        sons (bars, plugs) now. (Terry Weissman <weissman@wsl.dec.com>)

      - "-m" option do not map menus anymore

      - error-occured becomes error-occurred

      - bitwise-and was bugged (always returned 0)

      - when restarting gwm, some windows drifted of one pixel
        (Gary Oberbrunner <garyo@Think.COM>)

    NEW FUNCTIONS:

      - grab-keyboard-also flag for grabbing also the keyboard when issuing
        a "grab-server" which grabs the pointer.
