News for dockApp developers.
----------------------------------
This file contains a reverse chronology of important additions and API-changes.
The contents of this file will apply mostly to developers of dockapps.
Please read this when you update.
20140606
Release of libdockapp 0.6.3.
Updated autotools input files.
Added dockapp.pc file for use with pkg-config.
20050716:
Release of libdockapp 0.6.1
Fixed parsing multi-character short options.
20050522:
Release of libDockapp 0.6.0.
20050420:
Added DAError and DAWarning functions.
20050414:
Added DAFreeShapedPixmap.
20050408:
Added functions to read an XPM file dynamically.
Added a function to retrieve the program name from the program
arguments.
20030210:
Added a new global variable DAIcon. The value of this variable is
None if the dockapp runs in "windowed mode".
Added functions DAGetIconWindow() and
DASetIconWindow(Window icon_window). The "...Window"-part is because
X discerns between icon windows and icon pixmaps.
DAWindow now always points to the shown window. Normally this is the
icon window (DAIcon), but in "windowed mode" this is the leader window
(DALeader).
20030130:
Added WMProtocol for WM_DELETE_WINDOW. Dockapps run in normal window
mode will have a proper close-button now.
Child windows of a dockapp are now mapped as well when calling
DAShow().
Reworked basic example to use a Window instead of drawing and erasing
pixmaps by hand. This removes a lot of the complex parts of the
example.
20030126:
The function DAGetDisplay() has been renamed to DAOpenDisplay(). This
is unfortunate for backwards compatibility, but it was a bad name for
the function, and I needed the name for another function.
New functions DAGetDisplay(), DAGetWindow(), DAGetLeader(),
DAGetDepth(), DAGetVisual(), and their Set... couterparts
(DASetDisplay(), etc) were added. These get and set the global
DA...-variables (see: dockapp.h), and are mainly for use from within
code that is not directly connected to the library (e.g. from within
another library).
A system to match the expected version of libDockApp against the linked
version was added, to prevent backward compatibility problems in the
future.
