GWM 1.4.1.6 is now on the ftp servers:
expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.212) contrib/ (Boston, USA)
avahi.inria.fr (192.5.60.47) gwm/ (Sophia Antipolis, France)
This new version has many corrected bugs, and some enhancements.
PS: since many people can only get gwm by mail, could all people running
mail archives contact me to tell me:
- if I must send them the revisions if they do not have ftp access
- if I must send them a mail when new releases appear on expo
- the directions to get files from their server so that I can
mail them to people requesting gwm
(I already have daisy.uucp and doc.ic.ac.uk in my files)
Here are the list of changes since 1.4.1.2:
1.4.1.6 (89/07/27)
COMPATIBLE ENHACEMENTS:
- (cursor-make number) to select a cursor in the server's cursor font
code courtesy of Bill Trost <trost@scott.labs.tek.com>
- resize-style controls the interaction during resizes: 0 is the
old "uwm" way, 1 is the new "mwm" way. two new flags control the
behavior:
mwm-resize-style-catch-corners if you want to be able
to "catch" corners while dragging a side
mwm-resize-style-corner-size for the distance from the corner
at which you catch them
and 8 new cursor variables (cursor-NW and al.) controls the shape
of the cursor.
Warning: for now, you must trigger the code only in the borders
(wait for an leave-window event before calling resize window...)
but it will be corrected in next release.

- new value 5 for resize-grid-style for 2-pixel wide lines for style 0
BUGS CORRECTED:
- namespace-add was broken
- grab-server was bugged
- compiles ok on ultrix
NEW FUNCTIONS:
- namespace-remove to remove a name state, to be able to implement
a full "window." namespace later
1.4.1.4 (89/07/26) bug fixes
COMPATIBLE ENHACEMENTS:
- send-user-event can take a third argument not to propagate events
down the wob hierarchy
- This file is now called CHANGES and at the top directory, instead of
doc/HISTORY
- updates will now be distributed as patches to the files, no more to
the shell archive
BUGS CORRECTED:
- IBM-RT compilation flag changed to IBM_RT in Makefile
- compiles ok with vanilla gcc (no more writes in static strings)
- re-decorate-window works with an argument and check if it is applied
to a real window
- cond works now
- re-load&dec menu item fixed in standard profile
- when tracing an expression, the evaluated expression could not unset
the tracing mode
- in case of errors in the "opening" code of the window, maps it
NEW FUNCTIONS:
- ungrab-server-and-replay-event to release an activated passive grab
and replay the grabbing event. Useful for click-to-type policies
- current-event-relative-x & current-event-relative-y coords of
last event in the wob coordinates
