2.6.0.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in stable release 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED)
* New fvwm features:
- A new conitional command "Desk n" can restrict matching
windows to a specific desk.
- A new conditional command "Screen n" to restrict matching
windows on a given Xinerama screen.
- New expansion variable "w.screen" to ascertain the Xineram
screen number a window is on.
- New command "InfoStoreClear" to remove all items in the
InfoStore.
* Removed features:
- The old and unmaintained debian/and rpm/ directories have
been remmoved; use the maintainers' copies where available.
- VMS support has been removed.
- GTK1.x support has been removed.
- GNOME-specific window hints (pre-EWMH) have been removed.
- Some fvwm modules have been removed:
- FvwmDragWell (no replacement)
- FvwmGTK (no replacement)
- FvwmSave (no replacement)
- FvwmSaveDesk (no replacement)
- FvwmScroll (no replacement)
- FvwmTabs (no replacement, never worked anyway)
- FvwmTaskBar (use FvwmButtons)
- FvwmTheme (in core of fvwm as colorsets)
- FvwmWharf (use FvwmButtons)
- FvwmWinList (use WindowList command)
- FvwmWindowMenu (use WindowList command)
- FvwmIconBox (use the IconBox style instead)
* New module features:
- FvwmButtons learned a new option "Colorset" to its
ChangeButton command.
* fvwm-menu-desktop updated:
- Renamed default menu to XDGMenu and changed the name
of the FvwmForm to FvwmForm-XDGMenu-Config
- fvwm-menu-desktop will now load defaults from the
FvwmForm-XDGMenu-Config data file.
- Improved dynamic menus.
- Added new options: --regen-cmd, --dynamic, and more.
* Bug fixes:
- A bug introduced in 2.6.6 could cause applications with
negative coordinates to be placed at strange positions. This
affected for example acroread when switching to fullscreen
mode. This has been fixed.
- FvwmButtons "Silent" option for dynamic ChangeButton commands
no longer loops infinitely.
Changes in stable release 2.6.6 (15-Mar-2016)
* New fvwm features:
- Support for Russian from Ivan Gayevskiy.
- EnvMatch supports infostore variables.
- The option "forget" to the Maximize command allows to
unmaximize a window without changing its size and position.
- Windows shaded to a corner (NW, NE, SW, SE) are reduced to a
small square.
- New option "!raise" to the WarpToWindow command.
- The new extended variables $[wa.x], $[wa.y], $[wa.width],
$[wa.height] can be used to get the geometry of the EWMH
working area, and $[dwa.x], $[dwa.y], $[dwa.width],
$[dwa.height] can be used to get the geometry of the EWMH
dynamic working area.
- The Resize commands accept "wa" or "da" as a suffix of the
width or height value. If present, the value is a percentage
of the width or height of the EWMH working area or the EWMH
dynamic working area.
- Fvwm is much more resilient against applications that flood the
window manager with repeated events.
* New module features:
- FvwmForm supports separator lines.
- New FvwmIconMan options:
IconAndSelectButton
IconAndSelectColorset
* Bug fixes:
- Provide a wrapper for the deprecation of XKeycodeToKeysym and
use XkbKeycodeToKeysym() where appropriate.
- fvwm-menu-desktop is re-written and provides better support of
the XDG menu specification.
- Fix fvwm-menu-desktop keyError bug. Use "others" if no desktop
environment found.
- FvwmIconMan had problems displaying the hilight colour on some
systems (64 bit issue?).
- Globally active windows cannot take the focus if the style
forbids programs to take focus themselves (style
!FPFocusByProgram).
- Windows no longer jump from one position to the other which
could happen in some cases with SnapAttraction. Windows now
snap to the closest window (or screen edge).
- Removing bindings had several strange side effects that are
fixed now (removing too many bindings; old bindings showing up
again after another is removed; possibly other effects).
- Windows sometimes did not get expose events (i.e. did not
redraw properly) if they were uncovered by moving a window
above them. This has been fixed.
- FvwmConsole now causes much less network traffic.
- Suppress bogus events sent to the modules when a window is
resized with the mouse.
- Properly handle the has_ref_window_moved flag for ResizeMove and
ResizeMoveMaximize.
- Removed some unnecessary redraws in FvwmPager.
- The option "NoDeskLimitY" option of the GotoPage command did
not work.
- Negative coordinates in the "rectangle" option to the Menu
commend did not work correctly. This has been fixed.
- Removes a slight graphics problem whith the ResizeMaximize
command being invoked from a window button menu.
- When an attempt to reparent a client window (i.e. decorate
it) fails, fvwm no longer throws away all events but only the
events for that window.
- The ChangeButton command of FvwmButtons used to strip
whitespace from the beginning and end of button titles and
image paths. This is no longer done.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in stable release 2.6.5 (20-Apr-2012)
* New features:
- FvwmPager now wraps window names if SmallFont is set.
* Bug fixes:
- Made signals registered with FVWM unblocking.
- The "UnderMouse" option to PositionPlacement now honors the EWMH
working area by default, if it's in use.
- FvwmButtons handles the deleted window correctly for sub-windows.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in stable release 2.6.4 (01-Feb-2012)
* New features:
- FvwmIconMan no longer allows for itself to be transient by using:
Module FvwmIconMan Transient
This is too ambiguous with valid module alias names, hence a
transient FvwmIconMan must be created with "-Transient" as in:
Module FvwmIconMan -Transient
- New command InfoStore -- to store key/value pairs of information
to relieve the burden of the SetEnv command.
- Speed-up improvements for fvwm-menu-desktop when generating XDG
menus by removing unnecessary stat(2) calls.
- BusyCursor and CursorStyle have been set to make the cursor look
like a dot during Read/PipeRead commands, by default.
* Bug fixes:
- FvwmRearrange now understands the "ewmhiwa" option when placing
windows.
- Client gravity for subwindows is honoured for reparenting
windows, such as with XEmbed, when changing the parent's
geometry.
- Conditional command processing of !Layer n, as in:
Next (Xteddy, !Layer 4) Echo cuddles
has now been fixed.
- Fixed handling of swallowed windows for transient FvwmButtons'.
- fvwm-menu-desktop now looks in /usr/share/applications for KDE
legacy mode.
- fvwm-config no longer accepts "--is-stable", "--is-released",
"--is-final".
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in stable release 2.6.3 (30-Sep-2011)
* New features:
- New Style commands:
TitleFormat
IconTitleFormat
Used to specify a window's visible name. These new options
deprecate the older styles:
IndexedWindowName
IndexedIconName
ExactWindowName
ExactIconName
- New Resize argument to direction: "automatic" which works out,
automatically, which direction a window should be resized in
based on which quadrant the pointer is in on the window -- this
is best observed by the grid formed from "ResizeOutline", as the
shape of this grid is used when calculating this.
Furthermore, the existing option of "warptoborder" can be used in
conjunction with "direction automatic" to warp the pointer to the
appropriate window edge.
- Couple of changes to the Move command:
- The EWMH working area is now honoured by default.
- To move a window ignoring the working area, the option
"ewmhiwa" can be used, similar to how the Maximize
command works.
- New expansion placeholder $[pointer.screen] to return the screen number
the pointer is on.
* Bug fixes:
