News for for all libDockApp users.
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
This file contains a reverse chronology of changes.
|
|
The contents of this file will apply mostly to developers of dockapps.
|
|
Please read this when you update.
|
|
|
|
20141128
|
|
Release of libdockapp 0.6.4.
|
|
Source code cleanup.
|
|
Now maintained by Window Maker Developers Team.
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
20030131:
|
|
Bumped the version of the library to 2.
|
|
|
|
20030130:
|
|
Added WMProtocol for WM_DELETE_WINDOW. Dockapps run in "windowed
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Revamped the Changelog. Changedates have become important now that we
|
|
use them for backward compatibility.
|
|
|
|
20030126:
|
|
Added expected against actual version matching system. This has the
|
|
purpose of keeping the library backward compatible, even when the API
|
|
changes (as happened with DAGetDisplay).
|
|
Use the function DASetExpectedVersion(<changelog date>) in your dockapp
|
|
to ensure backward compatibility.
|
|
|
|
!!! COMPATIBILITY WARNING !!!
|
|
Renamed DAGetDisplay() to DAOpenDisplay(). The function opened a
|
|
display, this name makes more sense and there was a potential namespace
|
|
conflict (see below).
|
|
|
|
Added functions:
|
|
Display* DAGetDisplay(char *display, ...)
|
|
Window DAGetWindow()
|
|
Window DAGetLeader()
|
|
int DAGetDepth()
|
|
Visual* DAGetVisual()
|
|
DAGetDisplay(Display *display)
|
|
DAGetWindow(Window window)
|
|
DAGetLeader(Window leader)
|
|
DAGetDepth(int depth)
|
|
DAGetVisual(Visual *visual)
|
|
These functions just wrap the global variables DADisplay, DAWindow,
|
|
DALeader, DADepth and DAVisual. The globals are still available, and
|
|
will probably remain in future releases (The wrappers are for calls
|
|
from other dynamic objects).
|
|
If DASetExpectedVersion is before 20030126 (or not set), DAGetDisplay
|
|
will behave in the old way, opening the display instead of reading out
|
|
the variable. The NEW version of DAGetDisplay should be called as:
|
|
Display *d = DAGetDisplay(NULL);
|
|
|
|
20021220:
|
|
Added event handling for DestroyNotify, EnterWindow and LeaveWindow.
|
|
|
|
20021016:
|
|
Added a more complex example ("rectangles") showing the use of 'action
|
|
rectangles' and the handling of _all_ recognised event types; this one
|
|
may need some simplification.
|
|
Added an example ("shapes") of using the shaped pixmap API. No code
|
|
yet, just a directory.
|
|
|
|
20020926:
|
|
Added programming examples. There are three examples in the make: A
|
|
relatively simple example ("basic") without event handling and with
|
|
only basic shape implementation.
|
|
|
|
20020924:
|
|
Added a 7-segment display font. This font was donated by Jim Knoble.
|
|
Thanks Jim (It doesn't get installed, yet. I still need to make a
|
|
Makefile for this...).
|
|
|
|
20020922:
|
|
Added DAShapedPixmap type and functions to work with it. There is an
|
|
entire API around shaped pixmaps now, keeping pixmap, mask and geometry
|
|
together. It allows copying areas from both the pixmap and the mask to
|
|
another shaped pixmap, etc.
|
|
|
|
Added new global GC: DAClearGC. If you want to draw parts, you will
|
|
also want to erase parts.
|
|
|
|
20020921:
|
|
Added default colors as X-resources: DockApp*foreground and
|
|
DockApp*background. These colors are the foreground colors of DAGC and
|
|
DAClearGC respectively.
|
|
|
|
20020905:
|
|
"Inherited" the project from Pascal Hofstee. He stopped maintaining it,
|
|
and gave his okay when I asked to maintain it. We used to work on this
|
|
together, I'll continue the effort alone.
|
|
|
|
Release of libDockapp 0.4
|
|
|
|
Since libDockApp 0.2
|
|
--------------------
|
|
DockApps can now change shape on the fly.
|
|
|
|
Motion Events are properly handled now.
|
|
|
|
Code review/cleanup
|
|
|
|
Added DARect and DAActionRect structures. These allow You to easily
|
|
specify regions, and functions that should be called when clicked in
|
|
these regions.
|
|
|
|
DAEventLoop now finaly no longer causes Huge CPU-usage.
|
|
|
|
Turned out I had to disable the GCGraphicsExposures GC-Values, which
|
|
were generating huge amounts of "NoExpose" events which were simply
|
|
discarded anyway.
