Release notes for LessTif
Release 0.95.2 (May 27, 2009 paul)
__________________________________________________________________
* Maintainance release.
* Reverted a patch from lesstif 0.93.96 to 0.93.97 which resulted in
bug 1578451, crashes on pressing in menus.
* Fixed several 64 bit issues.
* Fixed a number of security issues (signed unsigned comparions) in
the Xpm reading code (CAN-2005-0605)
* Fixed use of accels with more then one modifier
* Fixed the layout of applications with widgets which have the
AttachBottom set to AttachSelf, this fixes using z88 with lesstif.
* Fixed VendorSP.h inclusion from cpp code
* Silenced Xt warnings on unnecessary ungrab (xpdf)
* Fixed a crash in xim chained lists.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.95.0 (June 10, 2006 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* We're now also distributing a version of LessTif packaged with
[1]autopackage. Fixes to the autopackage/default.apspec.in were
applied for this, and the autopackage team augmented their
implementation for us (thanks!).
* Change the API of the _LtDebugPrintRenderTable function, the old
one wasn't working well.
* Add a dependency so ResConvert.c is compiled whenever configure.in
changes.
* Make the message from configure about missing or too old X
development packages mention the missing case too. Happens more
often than old versions nowadays.
* Add code to the release script to create an autopackage file.
* Add code to the release script to create RPMs automatically.
* Fix and clean up some of the XmStringCreate functions, they weren't
handling tabs and newlines correctly. (Bug #1037816
XmStringCreateLtoR and XmStringGenerate NL broken).
* Implement XmStringGenerate() and XmStringParseText() somewhat
better.
* Fix an initialisation problem with RenderTables which caused colour
settings to fail in some circumstances.
* Fix a bug that caused XmTextField to overwrite its border.
* Remove a couple of fprintf statements saying "Yow"
* Fix freetype installation check which appears to require #include .
* Fix the build so it won't override defaults from libtool (bug
#1331548).
* Bug #1312056 - add an #include for Solaris on x86.
* Fix compile error in TextOut.c when compiling with Xft.
* RPM specfile syntax has renamed Copyright into License.
* Patch by Eric Branlund for _MOTIF_DRAG_TARGETS on x86_64.
* Patches by Winfried to fix warnings detected with GCC 4.

Release 0.94.4 (March 31, 2005 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Nothing to report yet.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.94.2 (March 30, 2005 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Add scripts/motif-config as suggested on comp.windows.x.motif .
* Add _MOTIF_DEFAULT_LOCALE in Xm/Xm.h
* Add support for the XmQTspecifyRenderTable trait in XmMenuShell,
XmVendorShell, and XmBulletinBoard.
* Implement XmeGetDefaultRenderTable().
* Improve the string-to-rendertable converter so it also picks up
unqualified resources. Until now it only converted stuff like
*One.renderTable: green, variable
*One.renderTable.green.renditionForeground: Green
now it also should convert
*One.renderTable:
*One.renderTable.renditionForeground: Green
In the latter case, the rendition's tag is _MOTIF_DEFAULT_LOCALE.
* Add a string to font-type converter (FONT_IS_FONTSET and such).
* Protect XmRenderTableGetRendition() against NULL tags.
* Implement XmRenditionRetrieve().
* Fix an #ifdef problem causing render tables not to get initialised
correctly.
* Remove _XmProcessTraversal as it is not needed.
* XmProcessTraversal() didn't pass the result of one of its calls.
Fix that.
* Implement a patch for the build system that was overlooked for too
long.
* Add XmVersionString() : a function to report the library's version
as a string.
* Calculate font parameters for the whole of the fontset passed in
XmText's FontInit(). This fixes the observation that XmText showed
stuff in the wrong place when using a fontset, as in Xbae's
multibyte example.
* Fixes by Tobias Oed for XmText and widget size and font size
handling.
* Add configuration file for [2]autopackage. Not working yet in my
environment though.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.94.0 (December 3, 2004 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Fix memory leaks.
* Fix a problem in DebugUtil.c - it didn't compile with
--enable-production.
* Controversial hack to accept accelerators even if NumLock and/or
CapsLock is on.
* Fix to _XmGetFocusData to get focus data from MenuShells, which are
not derived from VendorShell.
* Allow popup menus to "stick" if button-up is within
double-click-interval of button-down (to behave more like Motif).
* A button grab fix.
* Another fix that I must have never submitted diff for (don't ever
let MemWidget get set to, for example, a seperator because we
always assume it's a label of some kind).
* More scroll wheel support - this is in XmScrolledWindow which now
automatically adds translations to its children for this to happen.
* Cleanup in some memory allocation code, hope to fix more leaking.
* Configure.in was trying to figure out whether it could write into
the autoconf macro directory; that was wrong as Martin Simmons
pointed out. Fixed this, also make sure to feed the directory info
to the lesstif.spec file.
* Fixes by Dave Williss for the option menu resize problem that he
reported, and for (bug #1060425) an option menu highlight problem.
* Apply the second batch of Xpm fixes for memory leaks -
xorg-681-CAN-2004-0914.patch
* Fix build problem.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.96 (September 26, 2004 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Changes to make the build system work again.
* From now on, LessTif only builds as a Motif-2.1 clone. The 1.2
compatibility build has (finally!) been removed after several years
of 2.1 being the default build. Do note that this may produce
incompatibilities between this version and earlier releases if you
were still using the 1.2 mode.
* Compile a debugging function for printing stack traces only when
the supporting functionality is available.
* Don't use /bin/false etc; that kind of stuff is sometimes on other
places such as /usr/bin .
* A couple of XmList fixes.
* Fix XmForm's geometry_manager() to cope with XtGeometryAlmost
situations better.
* Added scroll wheel support.
* Fixes by Dave Williss for some XmFrame bugs.
* Workaround/fix for pushbuttons not handling their resize when the
application uses SetValues to set an acceleratorText.
* The recent Xpm security fixes.
* Fix for uninitialised memory problems.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.95b (August 18, 2004 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Changes to make the build system work again.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.95 (August 6, 2004 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Cleanup of the configure.in to remove some dead code and add a
couple of comments.
* Remove support for building a Motif-1.2 compatible version. This
only keeps generating problems for users, there's no added value.
* Also remove support for building a Motif-2.0 compatible version.
* Work on the clipboard code to make it work with xclipboard. Nedit
and DDD users were reporting problems.
* Bugfix for drag and drop code.
* Get XmText to use the character width estimations described in the
documentation.
* A fix to the CascadeButton widget and gadget code for 64-bit
systems. Lesson learned : using the wrong type can create havoc
even on dummy variables.
* XmClipboardBeginCopy() wasn't present in a 2.1 build. Fix that for
compatibility reasons.
* Changes to autoconf macros to conform to autoconf 2.59's new
requirements.
* Remove reference to fontconfig.h>, they're no longer needed.
* Prevent a crash in Form when no widget is passed but
XmATTACH_WIDGET is specified.
* Fix from Herbert Xu to fix a long outstanding bug with nedit
modality. (See patch #936869.)
* Fixes by Dave Williss to get XmString to cope with Unicode in a
limited way.
* Fixes by Dave Williss for the (Microsoft) Windows platform. One of
the consequences is that the macro XMLIBEXPORT is used in many
places. On the Windows platform, we configure the build so this
means something to the compiler; on others it is blank.
* Fix by Dave Williss for XmForm to cope with XtGeometryAlmost.
* Fixes for geometry in XmRowColumn and XmScrolledWindow.
* Fixes for memory problems detected by Purify.
* Fix for an off by one error in XmList.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.94 (November 27, 2003 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Yet another attempt to fix nedit's grab behaviour problems. (that
are caused by lesstif).
* Rename a private function to avoid namespace pollution.
* Don't bother with terror.hungry.com in the make_release script.
* Implement Add Mode in XmText. This means that the selection doesn't
disappear when moving the cursor around. You can toggle this by
using Shift-F8.
* Fix some memory leaks.
* Fix for an invalid XmStringFree in XmList.
* Fix an X server hang when clicking in an option menu.
* Fix an extended selection problem in XmList.
* Fix for gadget colour problems, and bugfixes on the fix (it was
wrong for a while).
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.46 (July 18, 2003 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Hopefully this fixes both of the nedit grab issues.
* List hightlight problem fix.
* Fixes for XmText(Field)GetSubstring bugs.
* Fix for a 2.0 build problem.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.44 (June 30, 2003 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Fix for a memory leak in TextF.c
* Quick fix to try to implement overstrike behaviour in XmText.
* Fix for bug #736415 (XmText widget still buggy) - the code that
determined a string length claimed to take tabs into account but
didn't correctly do so.
* Bug #721016. In an OptionMenu, while holding down the mouse left
button, dragging it onto the label gadget (label of the OptionMenu)
and then releasing it causes the X Server to hang.
* Fix for bug #721010 "text is displayed in the reverse order in
TextWidget" Selecting the text by double clicking on it and then
deleting it with a backspace in a TextWidget causes the text typed
afterwards to be displayed in the reverse order. This was happening
because the cursor position was going negative inside _XmTextDelete
function and due to this, the newly typed character was getting
added on the left side of existing text rather than on the right
side until the cursor position becomes positive.
* Patch provided by Herbert Xu : this patch fixes comparison bugs on
platforms with unsigned char as the default.
* Patch by Peter Breitenlohner - see bug #711442.
* Fix the problem reported by DIG in textf/test12. (when I click on
``enter text'' button, then selection of ``textf'' field (filled
with 23.5) become "dirty" -- this field get filled up with
apparently random characters and get highlighted. )
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.40 (February 6, 2003 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Start work to extend LessTif to work with the Xft library (see
http://fontconfig.org) so we can work with anti- aliased fonts.
Hopefully we can feed some of this work into OpenMotif.
* Include configuration/build support for the Xft library.
* Fix a bug in _XmStringDraw that crept in when the support for
renditions and rendertables was built. It showed in OpenDX as not
correctly centering text in a label widget.
* Fix grab problem with nedit (bug #566315 "NEdit - new window
ignores all input") by going back to the fix as it was in Vendor.c
version 1.83.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.36 (August 6, 2002 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Fix XmText, XmTextField problems with highlighting, that were
introduced by adding visual appearance to indicate that the widget
is insensitive.
* Fix a random unselect colour in ToggleBG.
* Fix XmText strangeness when editing. Some text would appear in
strange places, especially after deleting some lines and then
adding stuff again. (Reported about OpenDX, also bug #215484.)
* Fix XmText selection bugs.
* Fix XmForm geometry bugs.
* Clean up the pixmap cache when a XmScreen gets closed.
* Fix XmText wrapping bug.
* Add IconH.h> file.
* Fix for XmMainWindow not keeping track of destroyed children.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.34 (May 19, 2002 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* XmContainer fixes (to make XmOUTLINE mode, which displays a tree of
children widgets, work well enough to get Xplore and meditres
happy).
* XmIconGadget fixes.
* Initial implementation of the CareParentVisual Trait.
* Begin work on XmSPATIAL layout in XmCONTAINER. Implementation seems
to work with Xplore now.
* Drop the 2.0 version of ManagerP.h, there was no obvious need for
it.
* Change the memory allocation of XmFontList and XmFontListEntry. Our
implementation treated them as (almost) the same, they've now been
converted into something that looks like XmRenderTable and
XmRendition. This is also true for the 1.2 version of LessTif, even
though that doesn't offer the XmRend* API's. We can do this because
the structure of XmFontList and XmFontListEntry is internal to
LessTif so this is really none of your business.
* Additionally, as described in [3]Anthony's tip 2 implement shared,
reference counted, XmFontListEntrys.
* Start implementing XmRenderTable, XmRendition, XmTabList. Look at
test/Xm-2.0/rendition for a multi-coloured list demo.
* Bugfixes for FileSB, RadioBox
* Make mwm to read the appropriate configuration files
* Initial implementation of _XmMapKeyEvents() as described in
[4]Anthony's tip 15
* Quite a few bugfixes
* Support for XmNunselectColor.
* Modal dialog behaviour improvements.
* XmText and XmTextField now show a visual indication if they're
insensitive.
* XmText and XmTextField now use shared GC's (XtAllocateGC instead of
XCreateGC).
* Move some test directories from test/Xm into test/extra, because
they're really different beasts than the other stuff in test/Xm.
* Fix the build for automake 1.6.* compatibility.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.18 (December 20, 2001 mai)
__________________________________________________________________
* Various small fixes
* Enhancements to Container widget
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.14 (October 24, 2001 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Nothing to report yet.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.14 (October 24, 2001 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Work in progress on XmContainer.
* Build system fix for 1.2 version.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.12 (September 26, 2001 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* XmSpinBox fixes.
* XmSimpleSpinBox : simplistic implementation. This should become a
complete widget, probably copied from XmSpinBox.
* More small 2.x compatibility fixes (add missing calls as stubs at
least)
* XmObjectAtPoint() had wrong signature and was dealing with Gadgets
only
* Try to use automake 1.5.x, autoconf 2.5x, libtool 1.4.x
* Use XmStringCreateLocalized() to convert widget name into a label
string if we're in the Motif 2.* version; this makes newlines work.
Undocumented feature of Motif 2.*, documented in SF bug #456132.
* Install string to tearoffmodel converter by default if Motif 2.*,
another undocumented feature of Motif 2.*.
* Rename a couple of documentation files (e.g. NOTES to
ReleaseNotes.html).
* Fixes in IconGadget and Container.
* Fix installation process. Now builds/installs out of the box on all
platforms supported by libtool
* Drop redundant files from distributions (source tarballs)
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.93.0 (August 7, 2001 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Note that this release is still based on older versions of the
auto* tools (libtool 1.3.5, automake 1.4-p4, autoconf 2.13) because
of trouble that we have to reliably get all the recent versions to
work across all the platforms currently used by the core team. Some
platforms - e.g. NetBSD 1.5.* - seem to suffer from this. Our only
advice currently is to obtain recent versions of libtool and
autoconf, and to use the CVSMake script to build LessTif based on
that. We hope we can resolve these issues in the near future.
* Bugfixes and further development of DtPrintSetupBox.
* Support for XmTextFieldSetHighlight()
* Bugfixes and an additional resource for XmSpinBox.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.92.98 (July 28, 2001 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Enhancements for the docs (FAQ, Installation Docs, manpages)
* Update our list of platforms where LessTif can be build on
* mwm fixes/enhancements from Andrei Rezvov <rezvov@niisi.msk.ru>
* Drop inter-library dependencies (any libtool 1.4 related features)
* Add checks whether to link against -lXp -lXext when using 2.1 Motif
libraries (e.g. clients, in our test/ tree)
* Fix dmalloc debugging support (within configure script)
* Add some files missing from our test/ tree in the tarballs
* Smaller configuration and Makefile issues (portability fixes)
* Remove support for configuring and building Xlt and Xbae from
within the LessTif distribution; they will be treated as separate
packages from now on. We've been wasting entirely too much time on
complexities caused by this lately. No more, I hope.
* Various fixes for (potential) memory corruption
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.92.32 (June 2, 2001 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Small code fixes to help building on some systems
* Use new libtool version 1.4 and automake 1.4-p1
* Install more machine-indepedent files in $(prefix)
* Continued work on Xbae, version 4.9.0 was not working as well as
expected.
* Added the old XbaeMatrix home page in lib/Xbae/doc.
* Added scripts/sf_cron.sh which is run periodically from cron on a
shell server on sourceforge.net to update the web page from CVS.
The result is that now http://lesstif.sourceforge.net and
http:://www.lesstif.org are identical.
* Removed all the support in Xbae for Motif versions lower than 1.2.
* Move the manual pages's installation to $(exec_prefix)/man, this is
also where they're moved in the RPM installation. This makes the
lesstif.spec file more transparent.
* Release Xbae 4.9.0
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.92.26 (March 26, 2001 mai)
__________________________________________________________________
* Fixes for small problem with List widget. More work required on
this ...
* Fixes for some recently introduced bugs within configure. Now link
libXm* against -lm if ANSI C math stuff is hidden there
* Small Scale widget fix (rounding problem)
* Added two stubs for missing 2.x interfaces. On stub level we should
be very close to a complete 2.1 set now
* Fixes by Kazuyuki Funada, mostly for i18n.
* Fix and add more (incomplete) man pages to the install target
* Link our shared libraries against the necessary system libraries
(e.g. libXt, libX11) to hardcode the dependencies
* Rename libDt to libDtPrint, this appears to be what it's called.
Remove the print_screen field from struct DtPrintSetupData, the
Motif 2.1 manual pages (e.g. about XmPrintSetup) are misleading
about libDtPrint.
* Add -lMrm to the Xlt tests, this is necessary as SciPlot now uses
Mrm.
* Make build option --with-dmalloc to work again properly
* Make more debugging functions available in a PRODUCTION build (no
performance penalty)
* Debugging output (DEBUG_FILE env var) is now always explicitly
unbuffered and can now be sent to "stdin"/"stderr" as well
* The environment variable controlling which files send debugging
output has been renamed to DEBUG_SOURCES and now accepts a blocking
entries
* Debugging output can now be en-/disabled upon runtime. (env vars
DEBUG_TOGGLE, DEBUG_SIGNAL)
* Xbae : removed the #ifdefs controlling the variable height code and
the 24 bit code. From now on these are always compiled.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.92.6 (Dezember 21, 2000 mai)
__________________________________________________________________
* Fixed a couple of configuration issues (dependencies on GNUMake;
incomplete check for gethostname(); drop non-standard
str(n)casecmp() if not necessary; check for a HTML to Text
converter; ...)
* Fixed CVSMake scripts (checks for M4, HTML to Txt converter)
* Increase portability of our scripts/man2html utility
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.92.0 (Dezember 14, 2000 mai)
__________________________________________________________________
* Build/Install Uil libs and Headers (and tests) by default.
* Fixed some FontList interfaces to conform to the docs. Might fix
memory leaks as well.
* Got the build system to accept CFLAGS, etc. within the main tree
and the test tree.
* Since 0.91.8 according configure.in scripts have been cleaned up,
improved (drop useless checks; added helpful ones) and they've been
enriched by some additional comments. Earlier the XTHREADS test had
been fixed.
* Ongoing work to use ANSI C89 as much as possible. Drop alternatives
being used (e.g. bcopy() and friends)
* The Motif 2.x Xme() funcs should now all exist in stubs at least;
some had already been "implemented" earlier.
* Makefiles tweaked so "make dist" produces a distribution that
works.
* Added contributed code by Frank Mair for having bold columns in
XbaeMatrix.
* Build support for a Motif 2.1 compatible tree. This will soon
replace the 2.0 tree.
* Work in progres for creating XmPrint API. (2.1 functionality)
* Add lib/Dt directory for the CDE Desktop functionality.

* Nothing to report yet.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.91.6 (August 30, 2000 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Fixed a bunch of memory leaks.
* Bring the 2.0 version of LessTif in line with how Motif uses Xpm -
that is: use the normal XPM API. This gets Xbae/examples/draw to
compile in a 2.0 environment too.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.91.4 (July 3, 2000 amai)
__________________________________________________________________
* Nothing to report yet.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.91.3 (June 25, 2000 amai)
__________________________________________________________________
* XbaeMatrix - increaslingly more work on implementation of variable
height rows.
* Xbae - try to give all non-static functions an Xbae prefix.
* Patches by Kazuyuki Funada for TextField to get it to do decent
i18n.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.91.0 (May 14, 2000 rwscott)
__________________________________________________________________
* Nothing to report yet.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.90.9 (May 11, 2000 amai)
__________________________________________________________________
* Add XbaeGetVersionTxt(), XbaeGetVersionNum() to get the version
number from the (shared) library. Macros to get this at compile
time are already in place.
* Change version numbers to include the UPDATE number as well. Now
4.8.0 becomes 40800 (M * 10000 + m * 100 + u).
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.90.7 (May 9, 2000 danny)
__________________________________________________________________
* Xbae configuration :
+ --enable-xbae-24bit (enable 24-bit code in XbaeMatrix)
+ --enable-xbae-row-heights (allow rows to have variable height
in XbaeMatrix)
* Xbae API : add XbaeMatrixSetRowHeight(), XbaeMatrixGetRowHeight(),
XbaeMatrixSetColumnWidth(), XbaeMatrixGetColumnWidth()
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.90.5 (May 2, 2000 rwscott)
__________________________________________________________________
* Nothing to report yet.
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.90.3 (May 2, 2000 rwscott)
__________________________________________________________________
* Major overhaul of the release process. Hopefully a little more
consistent now.
* Xbae configuration :
+ --enable-xbae-24bit (enable 24-bit code in XbaeMatrix)
+ --enable-xbae-row-heights (allow rows to have variable height
in XbaeMatrix)
Release 0.90.1
__________________________________________________________________
* We had a major blow up in the configuration of this release
Release 0.90.0
__________________________________________________________________
* XbaeMatrix : work in progress for making rows resizable. This is
already in place for columns, it is one of the requirements for
being able to handle different fonts. This may break binary
compatibility with previous releases.
* Various XmText bugfixes.
* Add Xm/MenuT.h trait include file, required for Xmt 2.1.3.
* XbaeMatrix : two bugfixes related to use of global variables
(auch).
* CascadeButtons : if we set the sub-menu on a menubar there is no
need to refresh.
* All over : remove reference to timers we've nuked with
XtRemoveTimeOut().
* XmList (XmEXTENDED_SELECT) - the selected_item_count was always
coming back as 1
* ImageCache : add None symbolic name for transparency.
* XmTextFieldSetSelection - do not allow the start or end position to
be greater than the current length.
* Make Labels handle bitmaps in the version 2 case only
* XmRowColumn : Give the focus to the root when we don't know were
else to put it
* SelectionBox has a class method called list_callback. In our FileSB
class initialization this field was missing. This was causing
FileSB sub-classing problems.
* Do not activate an accelerator belonging to an un-managed widget.
(DDD)
* Mnemonics were being installed and un-installed based on a
different set of rules.
* Make label handle pixmaps with a depth of 1.
* Xbae : consistent use of ANSI C prototypes.
* Several bugfixes to RPM configuration file (lesstif.spec).
* Work in progress for making Xbae widgets threadsafe.
* XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected doesn't replace last item due to
the test being performed as if position were 0 based rather than 1
based.
* DragBS : don't tell bcopy to copy a negative length.
* Various fixes for compiler warnings.
* DragBS : _XmWriteDragBuffer also seems to have difficulties - it
doesn't work if the 'size' is bigger than 1000, because someone had
the bright idea of hardcoding 1000 in as the maximum possible size.
* Convert web pages to using JPEG instead of GIF.
* Add Builder Xcessory example files for Xbae widgets. With these you
should be able to import the Xbae widgets onto the BX palette.
* Print a couple of warnings if someone calls Mrm thinking it might
actually do something.
* Clean up website text consistency.
* Fix XmListYToPos().
* Get rid of
* Our sample system.mwmrc wasn't correct.
* Manager.c : virtual key accelerator handler.
* lesstif.spec : make sure the include files for Xbae, Xlt make it
in.
* lesstif.spec : split the "devel" RPM into two - the "devel" RPM
keeps the development stuff (include files etc), the new "static"
RPM contains the static libraries.
Release 0.89.9
__________________________________________________________________
* Implement ScrollOneLineDown and ScrollOneLineUp. This is very
usefull once you get one of those wheely type mouses.
* XmNmenuHistory now working for RadioBoxes.
* Patches to get mnemonics working in nedit.
* General code cleanup (getting rid of unused "global" symbols)
* XmListGetSelectedPosition fixes
* Lots of geometry fixes
* XmTextSetHighlight fixes
* XmList fixes
* Form widget significantly reworked (breaks binary compatibility)
* openDX translations now working
* Add Linas Vesptas's fixes to make XbaeMatrix cope well with cell
widgets; these are widgets that stay inside one of the matrix's
cells. [5]GnuCash uses this extensively, [6]Oleo will use it too.
* Add XbaeMatrixGetCellWidget() for API completeness.
* Patch by Jens Krinke for having multiple highlightings in XmText.
* Convert Xbae FAQ into HTML
* Xbae used to have #if CELL_WIDGET, they were now removed to make
sure cell widget functionality is always compiled in.
* Updates to the lesstif.spec (file to create RPMs).
* Add [7]BuilderXcessory configuration files that allow you to use
the Xbae widgets in BX.
* Add XltCreateSciPlot(), this was a missing API, it was "needed" for
the BX integration.
Release 0.89.4
__________________________________________________________________
* NOTE: except for the version number this is the same as
0.89.1/0.89.2, which accidentially went out the door with two
different version numbers.
Release 0.89.2
__________________________________________________________________
* FileSB updates
* Several bug fixes which improve nedit operation (particularly the
File->Open insensitivity problem).
* General code cleanup, and 64 bit improvements, eliminated most
warnings on DU compile
* SelectionBox popdownCallback fixes
* XmListReplacePositions fix
* several fixes for openDX
Release 0.89.1
__________________________________________________________________
Release 0.89.0
__________________________________________________________________
* Add FontChooser widget to Xlt.
* Fix to XmText to make a second call to SetValues with the same
pointer still work.
* Added a directory tree lib/Xbae which contains the Xbae widget set
(XbaeMatrix, XbaeCaption, and XbaeInput).
* Made build system changes to build Xbae in the same way as Xlt.
* Add build system options to Xlt and/or Xbae can be compiled
together with LessTif. Use the --enable-build-Xlt and
--enable-build-Xbae options.
* Xbae contains both automake-based and Imake based build support;
we're not sure how actively we'll support Imake though.
* RowColumn tear-off segfault fix.
* Fixed segfault with xmgrace.
* various fixes for openDX VaSimpleOption fix for Xquote
* fixes for mapCallback for DialogShells with BulletionBoard children
* Even though binary compatibility is not our true goal,
Netscape-dynMotif (4.61) now runs out-of-the-box with lesstif!
* Initial attempts at making lesstif threadsafe (PushB, PushBG)
* mxftp should now work
* XmScrolledWindow/XmScrollBar geometry fixes
* Many compilation warnings silenced.
Release 0.88.9
__________________________________________________________________
This is a quick summary of some of the more important things that have
changed since the last release. For a more detailed view, see the
ChangeLog file.
* Use libtool 1.3.3 which should get us more platform support. Check
out the libtool information files for specifics.
* Configuration now more correctly handles libtool and whether to
build and install shared and static libraries.
* Remove some files from the distribution. They belong in libtool or
the auto-tools, we get them from there.
* doc/INSTALL.html changed to more accurately describe what to do
when getting a CVS copy of LessTif. This really has to do with the
removed files mentioned above.
* (2.0) Notebook widget layout significantly enhanced.
* Fixed small bug in i18n to get nedit to work. You need to compile
nedit with -DUSE_XMIM though.
* Add #include everywhere. Note that in the mwm/ directory this is
handled in mwm.h .
* Upgrade our XPM (lib/Xm/LTXpm.c) to 3.4j, and change the prefix to
_LtXpm instead of _XmXpm to indicate this is not a Motif thingy.
Notebook uses this. (So did mwm already, and the image cache, and
we register a resource converter - depending on build options.)
* Numerous tweaks to the visuals of labels/buttons, to bring them
closer to the goal. This required some changes to the menu code. In
some cases it has been made much simpler.
* Fixed the problem with nedit and accelerators. nedit installs and
removes accelerators _alot_. The mask were were using to install
and remove event handlers did not match, therefore the handler was
not removed, but all the data the handler used was freed. Needless
to say strange things happened after this.
* Lots of improvements for XmText.
* Many changes to ScrolledWindow and MainWindow to get them closer to
the ultimate goal.
* Configuration verifies symbolic link presence with -r instead of
non-portably testing with -L, -l, or -h.
Release 0.88.1
__________________________________________________________________
* Build system changes. Should now be more error free, on wider
variety of platforms. Linux version now produces libXm.so.1.0.2
instead of libXm.so.1.2 You may need to run "/sbin/ldconfig" as
root after installing this version.
* This release introduces a major overhaul to the menu system.
Keyboard traversal of menus works much better, and overall menu
behavior is improved.
* Many more of the automated tests pass, implying that the geometry
of more apps should be closer to OSF/Motif behavior.
* ToggleB[G] and CascadeB[G] cleanup by Jamie. (Well, *that* covers a
lot of ground.
* Shadow.c: Added BC functions _XmDrawSquareButton and
_XmDrawDiamondButton.
* ResConvert.c: Add ResConvert/define for XmONE_OF_MANY_ROUND and
XmONE_OF_MANY_DIAMOND.
* Improve form layout handling: This is the new layout algorithm,
brought about by my nagging suspicions, and the proof from
form/test50. FormAllPaths used to calculate the size of the
enclosing box of a clump of widgets. It didn't pay any attention to
where on the form that box is placed. The new code pays attention.
If a clump of widgets needs a height of 100 and is placed at 50, it
now knows that a form height of 150 is needed. All the same tests
pass, including the dreaded test13, but be on the lookout for
something that used to work and doesn't now.
* Added hack to prevent nedit core dumps (see Manager.c 1.62 CVS log)
* Plugged memory leaks in List.c, Vendor.c, Protocols.c,
XmStringCompare(), and significantly FileSB. LessTif apps should
not "grow" in memory requirements nearly as much with this release.
* MainW geometry handling overhauled.
* Optimized Text a bit. Should be *much* faster now in adding text to
large buffers in ScrolledText windows.
* And, as always, many other bugs fixed.
Release 0.88.0
__________________________________________________________________
* Fixed layout of RowColumn for children with borderWidght !=0.
* FileSelectionSearch update.
* Fix for incorrect information in XmNchildren for menus with
tear-off controls.
* Prevent a few segfaults in menu traversal.
* The build system overhaul should be working properly now. RPMs are
still 1.2 only, but the tarball binary distribution should now have
both 1.2 and 2.0 versions of the library.
* Prevent segfault in nedit 5.0.2.
* Tear-off-menu updates (and more to come...)
* ScrollBar fixes in ScrolledW/DrawingArea
Release 0.87.9
__________________________________________________________________
Major change to build structure. Now builds 1.2 and 2.0 versions by default.
* The 2.0 tree release breaks binary compatibility with all releases
prior to 0.87.1 of the lesstif libraries because of a change to the
NotebookP.h.
* Build system changes require the following tools and versions:
+ Autoconf version 2.13
+ ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.2
+ automake (GNU automake) 1.4
* The build now creates (by default) both 1.2 and 2.0 compatible
versions of the libraries. They are installed in
$(prefix)/LessTif/Motif1.2 and $(prefix)/LessTif/Motif2.0 but the
appropriate links are created in $(prefix)/lib and
$(prefix)/include. Changing an installation that simulates 1.2 into
one that acts like 2.0 is a matter of changing a couple of symbolic
links.
* INSTALL no longer exists as a separate source in CVS, it is
generated from doc/INSTALL.html by running lynx on it. Those who
get a copy of LessTif from CVS will get a warning from automake
saying that INSTALL is missing. This warning is harmless, the
LessTif build process will generate the INSTALL file if it finds
lynx.
* The doc/INSTALL.html is updated to reflect the new build options.
Other code changes
* Fixed nasty bulletin board placement bug.
* Fixed bugs in Scrollbar: now allows 0x0 widget in realize
* List scrollbar names changed to VertScrollbar and HorScrollBar
* Improvements to scrolling in Text Widgets,
* Text cut-n-paste improvements.
* Form layout improvements.
* Menu fixes, including improved traversal code.
* 64-bit compatibility fixes
* Lots of fixes for grok.
* And much more!
Release 0.87.1
__________________________________________________________________
* This version will probably break binary compatibility with 0.87.0,
although I don't see anything specific at the moment. Don't count
on binary compatibility, though.
* This version introduces a significant overhaul of lesstif's
internal geometry handling thanks mainly to the hard work of Jamie
Gritton and Rick Scott in the general area of visual appearance
(geometry, layout, and color handling). These won't be detailed
here (cvs log if you're interested). Overall, though, we're getting
much closer to exact compliance with Motif's geometry handling.
Among the many other changes are:
Reorganization of drawing functions, step 1:
There are no more _Xm*_1_2_ or Xme*_2_0_ functions.
What used to be in ShadowI.c as _Xm*_1_2_ are now in Shadow.c as
_Xm*.
What used to be Xme*_2_0_ in DrawI.c is now Xme*.
The Xme* that used to call _Xm*_1_2_ from Draw.c now call _Xm*.
The _Xm* that used to call Xme* from Obso1_2.c are replaced by
Shadow.c.
Some cleanup of formatting and argument names in DrawP.h (both) and
Draw.c.
* TextF got some updates, and should work better now
* Fixed "nervousness" in DrawnB's; better labelString handling in
DrawnB's
* reset TopPosition in XmListDeleteAllItems
* NULL protection in List.c
* Better handling of cascade (and other) menus; should work better
with xmgrace
* Added XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN_DASH and _OUT_DASH from (1.2.5) to
Separator.c
* Internals of Scrollbar changed significantly, should work better
now (including processingDirection )
* indicatorOn converter patch
* implented NEXT_KEY in Protocols.c (huh?)
* Arrows from 1.2 and 2.0 now share more code
* FileSB now copies FS_DirMask if it changes in set_values
* changes in Form handling to work better with Ted (a text editor)
* Added Rob McMullen's SciPlot widget to libXlt.
* Added Rob McMullen's ListTree widget to libXlt.
* Add configure.in stuff for conditionally building XDND support.
* Configuration changed so EditRes is no longer triggered by whether
or not you ask a production build. From now on, you ask EditRes
support by --with-editres if you are performing a production build.
A non-production build defaults to supporting EditRes.
Release 0.87.0
__________________________________________________________________
* Geometry fixes for FileSB, Frame, Form, ScrollBar and others
* Labels no longer croak when given a None pixmap
* MenuShell: Call popup/popdown callbacks.
* RowColumns no longer croak when all their children are unmanaged
* MenuShells created by applications instead of the library now have
the correct grabs and hooks installed
* Implemented XmTextRemove, changed XmTextCut and XmTextSetString
Release 0.86.9
__________________________________________________________________
* Overall, we're relying more on our test suite now to tell us about
problems, and we're beginning to take steps towards automating
running the tests.
* Various B/W and resolution independence fixes from Jamie Gritton.
* Fixed unreleased mouse grab in menushellpopdown routines
* Absolute tons of geometry fixes from Rick Scott
* Broke test programs out of main tree
* Fixed a double callback in bulletinboards
* Fixed Drag 'n Drop so that you could turn it off with resources
* Fixed quite a few memory leaks
* Added a couple of convenience functions such as _XmObjectLock(w)
and _XmObjectUnlock(w) which you can use to lock the application
context of that widget in a multi-threaded environment. These
functions are defined such that they can safely be used even when
compiling against X11r5. According to a reply to my query on
comp.windows.x (by David Lewis), essentially all convenience
functions should be protected by these. General explanation (very
little though) is in the Xt documentation, secion 7.12. Can anyone
clarify ?
* Toggle Button (widget and gadget) now have a third state,
XmINDETERMINATE, in a 2.0 compliant LessTif.
* The 2.0 tree release breaks binary compatibility with all releases
prior to 0.86.5 of the lesstif libraries because of a change to the
VendorSEP.h. All programs which use dynamically linked M*tif 2.0
compatible lesstif libraries will have to be re-compiled to use the
new libraries. If you don't wish to do this, see the
--enable-back-compat option of configure.
* Cloned ArrowBP.h, ArrowBGP.h, ToggleBGP.h, DrawingAP.h, ManagerP.h
and PrimitiveP.h for the 2.0 tree and added new 2.0 resources. This
also breaks binary compatibility for the 2.0 tree.
* Added new file Direction.c to the 2.0 tree. This contains stubs for
the XmDirection family of routines.
* Add a couple of files and links, and perform some cleanup so
Lessdox doesn't contain so many broken HTML links. Note that this
adds documentation to LessTif about a number of Xt functions and
widgets. The documentation only refers to the Xt docs though.
* Build system changes require the following tools and versions:
+ Autoconf version 2.12
+ ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.2
+ automake (GNU automake) 1.3
* Fixed values of enum in CutPaste.h. This breaks binary
compatibility for both 1.2 and 2.0.
Release 0.86.5
__________________________________________________________________
* Button ArmAndActivate action re-work.
* BulletinBoard default button processing.
* Initial BulletinBoard geometry.
* DialogShell children positioning.
* MenuBar sizing in MainWindow's, they now wrap to multiple rows if
they are resized too narrow.
* Numerous improvements to Text and TextField.
* Improved color handling.
* Plugged numerous memory leaks, especially in XmStrings and labels.
Release 0.86
__________________________________________________________________
* Implemented XmStringCompare w/o calling XmStringByteCompare, since
that wasn't sufficient.
* Mozilla now has sorted directory and file lists!
* Implemented undocumented feature xmUseVersion.
* Inserted patch by Gary Aviv to implement XmPanedWindow better.
* An autoconf macro, AC_FIND_MOTIF, was added to the distribution, in
scripts/autoconf/. This macro is based on a similar one by Andreas
Zeller (ICE_FIND_MOTIF), but it presents other variables with which
to build your Makefiles.
* Some small changes for 2.0 builds
* Traversal fix for ScrolledW. This from Karsten Jenson.
* Some geometry tweaks for BulletinBoard
* XmTextField.c:XmTextFieldInsert() - We were not setting the
CursorPos before the insert so the text was not getting to the
correct pos. This was showing in ml's save file dialog. It's been
this way for a long time, I just got tired of it.
* Various patches from Stephen Gallimore on XmStrings, double line
separators, internal widget names in FileSB, _XmGetColors and
_XmAccessColorData.
* Now use integer math for Lists in list.c
Release 0.85.3
__________________________________________________________________
NOTE: This release breaks binary compatibility with all releases prior
to 0.85.3 of the lesstif libraries because of a change to the
indicatorType resource of ToggleButtons. All programs which use
dynamically linked lesstif libraries will have to be re-compiled to use
the new libraries. If you don't wish to do this, see the
--enable-back-compat option of configure.
* Extensive changes to FileSB. Focus handling is now in line with the
Motif spec
* Handles cascade buttons w/o children correctly
* Removed several spurious shadows and geometry problems
* Changed menu wrapping code in RowColumn again (does this work right
now?)
* FileSB and Selection Box dialogs in general now have correct
behavior of their buttons.
* and more!
Release 0.85.3
NOTE: This release breaks binary compatibility with all releases prior
to 0.85.3 of the lesstif libraries because of a change to the
indicatorType resource of ToggleButtons. All programs which use
dynamically linked lesstif libraries will have to be re-compiled to use
the new libraries. If you don't wish to do this, see the
--enable-back-compat option of configure. Another Note: Some of the
items in this list may in fact regard changes after 0.85.3 because of a
breakdown in the release script process. I hope those problems have
been fixed and we're back on track now. In any case, this list is meant
to be informative rather than normative. The detailed information is
available from the cvs logs anyway.
* Add the flag --enable-back-compat to provide other project
maintainers with a way to build to the original Lesstif ABI.
* Scrollbar patches to make Mozilla happier
* preliminary Drag & Drop support
* Cascade button now works properly with no submenu
* Fixes to form for some obscure cases
* Cleaned up list geometry
* Extensive changes to FileSB based on test results
* New release number format
* Small fix to MessageBox
* Preliminary Drag and Drop support from Waider
* Scrolled Window patches from Karsten Jenson
* Geometry fixes to the List Widget.
* Add check for in configure.in to be able to safely include it in
lib/Xm/misc.c. Requested by Alexander Mai, probably for OS/2.
* Add XmONE_OF_MANY_ROUND which is required in Motif 2.0. wxftp
doesn't compile without it. This does not break
--enable-back-compat.
* (OSF/Motif 2.0 compatibility) Frame.c : add support for
XmNframeChildType which does the same thing as the obsolete
XmNchildType. This requires a bit of hacking.
Release 0.85.1
__________________________________________________________________
* configure.in : use newer libtool 1.2 way of specifying default
(i.e. don't generate static library)
* configure.in : changed the values for detecting man2html from 0,1
to no,yes. This may break your build if you've kept a config.cache
from a previous release. Either remove config.cache, or change the
value that reflects presence of man2html from 0 to no (or from 1 to
yes).
* Reorganized the drawing functions in Xm/Shadow.c and Xm-2.0/Draw.c
so changes to the 1.2 drawing functions will make it into the 2.0
branch.
* Added function ComputeArrowSize to Xm-2.0/ComboBox.c. This routine
should now calculate the arrow size properly.
*
Release 0.85
__________________________________________________________________
* TextField clipboard ops now programmed with XmClipboard API. This
was half done in 0.84 (and disabled through #ifdef), now it's
enabled.
* Copied the experience and also used the XmClipboard API in XmText.
Release 0.84
__________________________________________________________________
* Several fixes for [8]Mozilla, which now works rather well with
LessTif.
* Significant changes to the way XmFileSelectionBox treated its
filesystem access functions. Getting it to work with Mozilla proved
to be a good way of figuring out how they're supposed to work.
* Merged Traits stuff from lib/Xm-2.0/Text.c and TextF.c back into
lib/Xm/Text.c and TextF.c . Keeping two versions in sync where the
only difference between them are a couple of traits definitions (~
2% of the source) is silly.
* There are a couple of man pages being installed, both as "man"
source and as HTML. The man to HTML conversion happens with a
slightly modified version of Debian's man2html. The slight
modification is just so I can tell it to filter (as in a
traditional Unix filter), not just to serve underneath a web
server.
* Upgraded to libtool-1.2. This only involves two files: ltconfig and
ltmain.sh .
* Put one documentation file per widget in doc/lessdox/widgets as a
start for replacing the long defunct Lessdox. The conversion from
man to HTML (as indicated above) is built into the nightly script,
and a copy is made to the web pages, so the HTML for the manual
pages is online on the Internet at
[9]http://www.lesstif.org/Lessdox/. The man to HTML stuff should
also still be built into the release scripts so releases will
contain this stuff as well.
* Finally found out why PageUp and PageDown wouldn't work as expected
in nedit. Turns out to have to do with the Virtual Keys and a cache
in Xt. (I think.) If anybody knows of a better way to solve this,
please tell us.
* Several fixes to XmText.
* Small fix so popup menus stay visible when clicking MB3 (usually)
instead of just holding the button down.
* Implemented clipboard operations for XmTextField. Cleanup of the
code, to use XmClipboard* API, is in progress.
Release 0.83
__________________________________________________________________
* New configuration based on automake, autoconf, libtool. All of
these are GNU tools available from the usual sites, such as
[10]ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu" but you don't need to have any
of these for using or building LessTif unless you want to alter
LessTif itself (adding directories, files to treat by configure,
...).
* The new configuration won't change anything for you; if you want to
build LessTif you still only need to run
configure add your options here
make
* If however you change anything to a makefile.am, or to
configure.in, or if you're running Cygwin32 or OS/2 (once these
things get ported) you'll have to run the following sequence :
autoheader creates include/LTconfig.h.in
automake -i converts Makefile.am into Makefile.in
autoconf converts Makefile.in into Makefile
configure add your options here
make
* In the M*tif 2.0 compatibility area, a couple of things happened.
The XmeDrawArrow routine was improved. It now acts as the M*tif 2.0
version of the function. All XmeDraw* routines have been moved from
Xme.c to Draw.c. Removed the link Shadows.c and added a file
Obso1_2.c for 1.2 routines deemed obsolete in 2.0. Added new tests
for the XmeDrawArrow routine. Also, the size calculation routines
of the XmComboBox widget were improved.
* The scripts/mmf will rebuild the Makefile in the directory in which
your run the script. It's much faster than rebuilding all the
Makefiles by running configure on the whole distribution. Be
careful when using it after modifying configure.in though; you will
end up with an inconsistent set of Makefiles.
* There is now a XmPanedWindowWidget in the 2.0 directory as well; it
is nearly the same as the 1.2 version : the only difference is an
additional resource (XmNorientation). SashAction (interactively
moving the panes) isn't 100% foolproof yet. [11]Xinvest uses this.
* Notebook (also in 2.0, see below) is beginning to do sensible
things. It uses some of the traits in sensible ways, and can be
used to display pages and page through them using both a SpinBox
and tabs.
* For those of you who are using a binary distribution of LessTif:
there are currently no 2.0 widgets in those; our binary
distributions are 1.2 based for now. You can build a 2.0 version
from source by running
configure --enable-build-20 more options
make
* Placement of the XmComboBox scrolled list is now correct. However,
the initial size calculation of the scrolled list is incorrect.
Added a new internal routine called XmeShellSmartPlacement (see
file PopupUtil.c). This routine attempts to keep the shell
completely visible before XmePopup* is called. Also, added two
XmePopup* routines to wrap the XtPopup family of routines.
* More 2.0 stuff... Added header file DrawP.h to the
include/Motif-2.0/Xm directory. Removed Xme* function declarations
from DrawP.h in the include/Motif-1.2/Xm directory. These routines
do not exist in the 1.2 tree and would result in unresolved symbol
errors if used.
* You can build from other directories than LessTif's root directory.
This is what I did on my system (from LessTif's root) :
mkdir DEBUG
cd DEBUG
../configure --prefix=/usr/lesstif20g --enable-debug --enable-build-20
--enable-nonstandard-conversions
make
cd ..
mkdir PRODUCTION
cd PRODUCTION
../configure --prefix=/usr/lesstif20 --disable-debug --enable-build-20
--enable-nonstandard-conversions --enable-production
make
* Added a couple of Makefiles to also install doc/www.lesstif.org
when doing a "make install". Consequence is that binary
distributions will also contain the information from the web site.
(At least a snapshot of it taken at release time.)
* Added a couple of manual pages donated by [12]Ray Dassen and put
them in doc/lessdox/clients.
* Added Makefiles so the manpages above are installed in
PREFIX/LessTif/doc/man and PREFIX/LessTif/doc/html .
Release 0.82
__________________________________________________________________
* Build support for the Cygnus Win32 environment. May not be complete
yet.
* Finally implemented a default functions for TopShadowPixmap and
HighlightPixmap in Primitive and Manager.
* 2.0 compatible widgets : GrabShell (internal widget), SpinBox
should work reasonably.
* 2.0 : Traits also implemented (which is not a big deal), but no
work has been done on adding traits to widgets, except where needed
for SpinBox.
* Peter Pilgrim gave us the basics for XmPartOffsets. Thanks, Peter.
* Build : add run-time library path options (-R on Solaris, NetBSD;
-Wl,-rpath on OSF/1).
* Added the web pages for the LessTif site to CVS. Now you can see in
lesstif-*/doc/www.lesstif.org what you normally get from
[13]http://www.lesstif.org
* Add string to widget converter. Apparently Motif 1.2 has this but
previous versions didn't.
* Various fixes to XmText; one of which was the I-beam cursor
overwriting initially displayed text.
* Build support for SlackWare and RedHat.
* Work on popup menus has led to a revamping of the menu system in
general. Popup menus should show better behavior now, although
keyboard focus isn't 100% yet. Grabbing in general should be
handled a little better now (I'm interested if people get messages
about "XtWarning: Asked to remove widget not on the grab list").
Mnemonics and accelerators should behave better. Option menus
should also behave better, in general.
Release 0.81
__________________________________________________________________
* Added stuff-to-string converters to the Editres functions built
into LessTif. Also fixed the bug that prevented it from passing
getting values. You'll also need a small patch on your editres to
use this. (See below.) After that, you'll be able to query widget
values with editres.

All of this code was donated by Peter Derr [14]<pderr@zk3.dec.com>.
* Many more geometry fixes.
* The code has been struck by the mad indenter. Most core library
code will now have a consistent look.
* Various fixes for xmcd - see KNOWN_BUGS.
* In the Motif 2.0 compatibility area, a couple of things happened.
Traits were implemented, a XmSpinBox widget has an initial
implementation, and a couple of widgets (XmTextField, VendorShell)
were copied from the 1.2 directory to cooperate better with
XmSpinBox. (Read: they support traits).
* Build fixes for a 2.0 compatible library.
Release 0.80 alpha
__________________________________________________________________
* Work on selecting text, copy/paste, ... in XmText has begun. It's
somewhat functional : primary selections seem to work, not all key
combinations for the keyboard traversal business may be supported
yet though. (Please send E-mail to lesstif@hungry.com if anything's
missing.) Nothing has been done for secondary selections yet.
* Support for SetValues and GetValues on resources in the input and
output objects of XmText is implemented now. Not all resources are
treated yet though (especially SetValues), but at least changing
the fontList seems to work. Mxgdb demonstrates that GetValues also
works.
* Lots and lots of work on geometry.
* Added a Makefile target "install-list" everywhere, which prints a
list of files that the "install" target will install.
* Based on this, created stuff in scripts/FreeBSD to create a binary
package that can be installed with pkg_add(8) easily. Waiting for
someone to do similar stuff for Linux.
* Drag and Drop is "primitive", at best. Do not be surprised if
Btn2Click on labels and subclasses cause you problems.
Release 0.79
__________________________________________________________________
* Fix build problems in 0.78, new Form code.
Release 0.78
__________________________________________________________________
* New directory structure to allow for CDE and 2.0 widgets.
* For testing purposes, the Interleaf ComboBox widget is added to the
Xm-CDE directory. If someone cares to replace or enhance it, please
do so. I'm no legal expert, but enforcing LGPL license on LessTif
if part of it is covered by the license Interleaf has put in, might
be contradictory. (Note that the Interleaf license is more liberal
than LGPL.)
* A version of ComboBox with "dt" changed into "xm" is also put into
the Xm-2.0 directory for testing purposes. Similar comments apply :
we may want to replace this sucker.
* New version of configure.cmd (for OS/2) from Michael Holzapfel.
* Layout details (remember the "Pixel Police" ?) are finally
understood and are getting into place in ScrolledWindow.
* Drag and Drop is somewhat working at this point. We don't do
PREREGISTER (because nobody has documented it), so it gets emulated
by the DYNAMIC protocol. Cross application dragging doesn't work
yet.
* Improvements to the menu system. Option menus look a bit better,
popup menus have improved and grab balancing is close to being OK.
Release 0.78
__________________________________________________________________
* Started rework on XmMainWindow following similar work on
XmScrolledWindow. Compile with -DNEW_MAINW to enable.
* Added stuff that'll allow applications to be compiled using imake.
LessTif itself continues to be configured using a "configure"
script generated with GNU Autoconf.
* Added DEBUG_FILE variable to DebugUtil.c so you can direct debug
output to a file easily. It's faster than scrolling in an xterm
window. Also apps like ML hang when you send stuff to stderr
because they catch stderr and throw whatever they find in a Motif
(err LessTif) XmText widget. Chicken and egg problem. Try using it
with setenv DEBUG_FILE /tmp/lesstif.%p
* Improvements to the menuing system.
* DragDrop has been started. Drag cursors are about the only thing
that work, though.
* Major changes to the source tree layout are upcoming in the next
release.
Release 0.76
__________________________________________________________________
* The clipboard has mostly been implemented, but it does still have a
few problems.
* The implementation of XmScrolledWindow has been completely
reworked. Results should be visible in [15]plan and xdiff.
* There is a new #define, NONSTANDARD_EXTENSIONS. This is not enabled
by default. If enabled, it will allow lesstif to transparently
convert a string to a pixmap for resource converters (which many
people feel Motif should have done a long time ago). Thanks to
Peter Williams for this patch.
Release 0.75
__________________________________________________________________
* Public release.
Release 0.71
__________________________________________________________________
* XmRegion code is getting there. -- Chris
* New List widget. Thanks Blake and Jon!
* The clients/uil directory is being reworked completely. You'll
notice that all the C++ stuff is gone. Thanks Geoff.
* Configure was extended so you can choose not to compile the testXm
and/or testMrm directory trees. Use configure -help to find out
more. Configure also recovers if testXm or testMrm are not there.
-- Danny
* Default for the new options --with-testXm and --with-testMrm
changed to *No* meaning tests only get compiled if you want them
to. -- Danny
* Traversal/Focus/Navigation has been completely reworked; They
should function much better these days. This change was fairly
massive, so some things are surely broken. Feedback requested. --
Mitch
* XmFontList and XmString have new implementations; they should be
more faithful to their Motif equivalents.
* LessTif should also work on OS/2 now. Thanks Michael Holzapfel and
Christoph Jaeschke.
* Rewrite of mwm. It's much better behaved now, with most appearance
resources and a good bit of the behavior resources supported.
Transients, when they go away, now give the focus back to their
parents (which might help with the locking focus problem sometimes
seen in fvwm). SYSTEM_MODAL dialog support is more or less in, but
cascading system modals will not be well behaved. The parser is
much more friendly, and shouldn't have any problems with multiple
menus. Multiscreen support is in (although you can't specify
resources for each screen, but global resources work fine). Most of
the Motif oddities with window properties are supported, including
run-time update of the properties, application defined window
menus, f.send_msg, etc. Dialogs for quitting, restarting, and
toggling custom behavior are in (with some drawing problems, but
they do work). As always, feedback on what works and what doesn't
is desired. See the files clients/mwm/README and clients/mwm/Mwm
for details. -- Mitch
* Pulldown menus work a bit better. -- Peter
* Many geometry management fixes (esp. in RowColumn). -- Danny
* The debugSources resource was removed; only the environment
variable is left in the code.
setenv DEBUGSOURCES Command.c:SelectionBox.c
should do the trick.
* Dialog modality is partially implemented. Thanks Harald.
Release 0.50
__________________________________________________________________
* Option menus are now in (somewhat). -- Chris
* Menu Gadget support is almost up to the level of Widgets. Use it
with caution, as it may lock your server. Mosaic 2.7b2 menu items
are selectable now. -- Chris
* Debugging info from LessTif can be enabled by setting environment
variable DEBUGSOURCES or the equivalent resource to a list of the
source files that you want to see info from. test2 -xrm
"*debugSources: Command.c:SelectionBox.c" -- Danny
* Quick and Dirty implementation of internationalisation (i18n) for
TextField. Works on XFree86 3.1.2 on FreeBSD, and on HPUX with
X11R5. -- Danny
* First cut at FastSubclassing. Starting rework of GadgetCache
objects to be more in line with Motif. SyntheticResources and
Resolution Independence are in, but a bit shaky (maybe). Many more
import/export procs need to be written. Both Chris and I are
working on the BaseClass stuff -- quite a lot to do there. More mwm
improvements (should be more stable on more platforms now). Need to
work on "shields up" for modality and multiscreen support for it.
If you experience core dumps with mwm, check and see if you
compiled the library -- on some platforms, modifying the library a
running executable uses can cause this (Solaris, Linux), as they
think it's pure code, and don't swap it. The alternative is to link
mwm statically. Oh, and I got rid of those pesky warnings in
LTEditres.c. -- Mitch
* GeoUtils have (somewhat) been implemented. They still need work,
though. -- Mitch
* Pulldown menu grabbing is in the works. It kinda works for Cascade
button WIDGETS, not at all for gadgets yet. In the gadget case,
it's #ifdef-fed out. In the widget case it is not. If your menus
appear to freeze, pressing Escape usually helps. If it does not,
please send me detailed info. -- Danny (u27113@kb.be)
Release 0.36
__________________________________________________________________
* Initial version of Mwm is in. It's a bit rough, so don't expect to
much.
* Menu dragging is sort of working better. This only applies for
widget, so menus that use gadgets (such as those in Mosaic) will
not work. This will change quickly, so be patient.
* Initial TearOffButton stuff
* Fixed bug in configure.in for NetBSD/FreeBSD using GNU make
* Added support for linux-aout shared libaries. Thanks JanJaap!
* New Gadget Cache and ExtObj stuff.
* Better (more in line) geometry management in the RowColumn widget,
the PanedWindow, and the Frame.
* Lots o changes in Form, MessageBox, BulletinBoard.
* Rob McMullen's TextField widget has been folded into lesstif.
Thanks Rob!
* RepTypes are actually working now. How come nobody told me :)?
* Drag and Drop is beginning to take shape.
Release 0.33
__________________________________________________________________
* Harald Albrecht has contributed implementations of the VirtKeys
stuff, XmDisplay widget, and the first "official" Lesstif client -
xmbind
* The configuration management stuff should be working much better
and more portably across all the supported architectures. For those
of you with Free/Net BSD, you can now use BSD make to build lesstif
for your machine. Check out the INSTALL file for more information
on configuration.
* Gadgets and Manager widgets now communicate in a much more
Motif-like fashion (with the _XmDispatchGadgetInput function).
Gadgets specify an event mask to tell their parent what events
they're interested in. Also, more gadget events are handled, like
the enter/leave events.
* The beginning of the default button handling in dialogs is in -- in
the ParentProcess stuff.
* The list widget should be a little less problematic now.
* Included John Richardson's patch for XmLabelWidget/Gadget. Now
label behavior is much better.
* _XmDrawArrow (Mitch's baby :) is behaving itself better lately.
* We're starting to go after some of the more underlying things, like
the GeoUtils and Traversal stuff. Don't expect miracles though.
* Fixed some problems with the Fontlist stuff returning NULL.
* Lot's more stuff that I've forgotten. If I missed something you
sent in, please resend it (after seeing if it wasn't fixed another
way :)
Release 0.3
__________________________________________________________________
* The list widget is currently undergoing a reworking. Please don't
expect much, but I'm working on it.
* ScrolledWindows are working better. Thanks Mitch.
* Applied countless million patches :) Some didn't make it in. I'll
try to get to those soon.
* memcpy and memmove are not used anymore. We now include Xfuncs.h
and use bcopy. If your system has a better way of doing it, it's
probably set in there.
* Configuration system should be working better.
* makedepend is now used for generating dependencies. If you don't
have it, comment out the lines in libXm and libMrm that use it.
Lesstif will eventually be packaged with makedepend so that it'll
build it if it can't find yours.
* Scales and Scrollbars are basically done (we think) barring minor
cosmetic changes. Thanks Mitch and Peter.
* Default buttons are now drawn differently in bulletin boards (and
subclasses). They're not correct, but they're drawn differently.
* Code for handling unspecified width/heights has been changed to
check the request widget's width and height, and now it checks for
0, instead of XmUNSPECIFIED.
Release 0.2
__________________________________________________________________
* Updates for MessageBox/BulletinBoard
* Fixed primitive widgets unhighlighting themselves.
* Better scale/scrollbar widgets -- patches from Mitch.
* Added _XmClearBorders. This function should be used to erase
shadows and highlights. Primitives now call it to erase their
highlights when their parent is not a manager.
* Added default button shadows to PushButtonWidgets
* Added shared library support for HPUX 9, IRIX, Linux (ELF only),
FreeBSD, NetBSD, DEC OSF/1, SunOS 4, Solaris 2, AIX3, DG/UX 5. I
want your input on the current scheme. Does everybody like it?
Thanks to Xiaokun Zhu for his help.
* Fixed problems with missing \n\'s in Transltns.c
* Fixed x_includes and x_libraries not being set on IRIX after
configuration
* Moved to include'ing a template makefile for the tests. Made their
Makefiles much smaller.
Release 0.1
__________________________________________________________________
* Changed lesstif to use autoconf instead of imake This will
hopefully make it easier to configure stuff for different platforms
so that the globbing stuff works correctly. Along with this change,
however, is the new job of getting shared libraries built for each
platform. If you have an idea on how we should go about doing this,
please let me ([16]toshok@hungry.com) know.
* The glob stuff has changed to be in the same directory as the other
libXm stuff, and the function names have changed to _Lesstif_glob,
etc. The filenames have also changed, to LTglob{.c,.h} and
LTfnmatch{.c,.h}
* From this release on, libXmu need not be linked in with lesstif.
This is because we now include the _XEditresCheckMessages function,
calling it _LesstifEditresCheckMessages. The relevant file is
LTEditresCom.c.
* This release contains lots of fixes to the form widget from Danny
et al., and a new AtomManager from Harald Albrecht, which is
doubtlessly more efficient than the previous incarnation. Excellent
work Harald!
* Vendor shell now responsed to the XmNmwmDecorations and
XmNmwmFunctions resources. If you have mwm running, you can now
specify programmatically the decorations and functions that
toplevel shells have. Neato.
* From this release on, I'm now going to start using numeric release
numbers, (0.1, 0.2, etc.) so that when shared libraries start
working, we can have a direct correspondence between the
distribution and the shared libraries.
* The Label widget's insensitive GC is now properly created.
* CascadeButtonGadgets now draw themselves in the proper color, and
are properly highlighted by XmCascadeButtonHighlight.
* The menu system doesn't grab you server anymore, so you can run
programs that have menus without fear of locking you server. Xt
grabs are used, however, which is the way things should work (in
part. Server grabs are necessary, but I'll get to that once the
toolkit grabs are functioning properly.)
* Most of the correct Motif translations have been integrated into
lesstif. You'll probably see lots of warning messages about lesstif
not being able to find an action. These will go away soon.
* I hear we're going to be written up again in next month's Linux
Journal. Great work guys!
Release Sep12-1524
__________________________________________________________________
* Most widgets now have their correct motif translations. Not all the
specified actions are present, but those will come along.
* Pixmap top and bottom shadows are supported now, both for manager
and primitive widgets.
* The primitive widget in general is almost complete. One gaping lack
of functionality is the resolution independence offered by
synthetic resources.
* Better set_values methods for some widgets. They now don't do silly
things, like checking the request against new...
* More complete interaction between mwm and XmVendorShell, including
client decorations and functions (see the testXm/vendor testcases)
* Better XmTranslateKey (actually, it's still rather broken..)
* Buttons now draw themselves better in menus (i.e., no highlight
rectangles) -- I think...
* Blinking cursors for XmTextField (yay!)
* Updates and fixes to many, many things...
* I'm holding off on putting in the autoconf stuff until I get it
functioning properly, or at least better...
Release Sep01-1407
__________________________________________________________________
* PushButton now correctly catches the ButtonUp event when the
pointer is moved out and back into the widget, as do the other
button widgets, withough the in_window field. Gadgets also handle
this correctly now, through their parent's manager translations.
* PushButtons now fill in their interior when fillOnArm is set to
true.
* ArrowButton gadgets now draw themselves correctly, not at (0,0).
* Many more fixes to widget code to use the #define'd access macros.
* Pixmaps are drawn more correctly in label subclasses -- i.e.,
they're centered properly (well, one or two pixels off, but who's
counting) when the widget is smaller than the pixmap.
* Form and MessageBox updates from Danny
* Scale updates from Mitch
* Fixed NASTY bug with some default procedures. The offending
functions used XtDisplay() instead of XtDisplayOfObject() --
they're supposed to work with both widgets and gadgets -- and these
would cause SIGSEGV's on my box, except they would happen in
between the call to class_part_initialize and initialize. Ugh..
Actually, I've fixed various places where XtDisplay() is used for
gadgets, like in the SeparatorGadget and ToggleButtonGadget expose
routines...
* We're now using the translations supplied in the mot.trans file
(testXm/misc/mot.trans), generated by Mitch Miers, for most
widgets. I'll add the rest for the next release. Please nobody send
me them as a patch, I'll enter them myself.
* Fixed bug in SeparatorG that was using the XmUNSPECIFIED for the
direction that its oriented in (e.g., width = XmUNSPECIFIED when
orientation = XmHORIZONTAL).
* Gadget seem to be working with MessageBoxes now... Dialogs! Yay!
* The menu system is in need of some overhaul and much pencil and
paper work. The next release may not affect too much more than that
(well, I won't be working on much more than the menu system and
traversal)
* I have not yet had a chance to try out lesstif on DEC's public
alpha machine. There were some problems with out of scope function
prototypes causing memory alignment problems. These are not fixed
(to my knowledge) in this release. I'll look into it for the next
release.
* I've cooked together a configure scheme for lesstif, which I'll be
patching into the source tree something this next week. It will
handle most of the system dependent things much better than the
imake system we're using now.
* Wow... A lot has changed :)
Release Aug23-2257
__________________________________________________________________
* Converted the primitive widgets to use the "correct" preprocessor
symbols (e.g., Prim_ShadowThickness(w), XtWidth(w), etc.) Actually,
I got most of the way through this... Too much work for one night.
I'll finish up the rest for the next release.
* Pervasive change from using strdup() to XtNewString(), and
Xt{Malloc,Calloc,Free,Realloc}, instead of their C library
counterparts.
* Re-engineered the event handling of the PushButton widget. This
removed the funky and unnecessary "in_window" instance variable.
The only problem appears when the select button is pressed inside
the pushbutton, and then the pointer is moved outside the window
and then back in -- the ButtonRelease event is not passed to the
widget. Moving the pointer outside the window and releasing, as
well as clicking inside the window work, though. This should be an
easy, boneheaded fix, somewhere in the Arm action (I think).
* Preliminary ImageCache and Pixmap cache, which (as far as I can
tell) works like Motif's. The label pixmap code now uses XCopyArea
again, so you can get into problems with pixmaps of different
depths than the widget's window. This behavior exists in Motif as
well, so it's not a Lesstif bug.
* Atom Manager now does client side caching of atoms.
* New testcases for Xmos (contributed by Mitch Miers) and for the
ImageCache routines. Hey, on my Indy, testXm/imagecache/test1 looks
exactly the same under Motif and lesstif. There still some problems
with traversal (like, it isn't there) and redrawing on expose
events, but initially it looks identical :)
* A new resource converter for XmFontList's is in, so you can specify
fontlists in resource files. Note: I've only tried this for single
entry fontlists, without tags. More testing is necessary here..
Release Aug14-1709
__________________________________________________________________
* Sheesh. I was in a hurry this morning to get the new release out
and got bit by RCS again. I've modified my distribution script so
that it now checks everything in before tarring it up.
* Also, I've included the latest Shadow.c patch from Jeremy Allison.
Thanks Jeremy!
Release Aug14-1051
__________________________________________________________________
* First off, I've moved back to school for the semester -- starts in
two weeks. Much of the work I did this summer on a linux box,
displaying to an HP X terminal doesn't work now -- going from an
HP735 to an Indy :( It seems to be focused mainly in the RowColumn
widget. I'll fix this for the next release, but for now, it seems
to be pretty broken.
* Included all the patches (I hope) sent to me since the last
release, including those from the Pixel Police (tm) :)
* TextFields and Text widgets should be working better thanks to
Danny, Mitch, myself and others. For one thing, nasty unterminated
strings should not be present anymore. Also, the handling of the
initial size of text fields has been fixed.
* The "input" resource on VendorShells is fixed so that LessTif
programs will by default accept the keyboard focus. Now you can
actually type :)
* Traversal is beginning to work. For now, the behavior is limitted
to that of EXCLUSIVE tab groups (meaning that the keys move you
around in the order of child insertion, not by screen layout. This
should be easy to add, but it'll be dependant on the manager widget
type (I think). For an example, check out testXm/textf/test2.c. Run
the program, hit the down arrow in the window, and hit return. This
should activate the XmNactivateCallback for the pushbutton widget.
-- (Actually, this seems to be another piece of code that broke
with the move... Your mileage may vary.)
* ToggleButtons seem to be very nearly complete -- nice work guys!
Release Aug07-1618
__________________________________________________________________
* This release is nothing more than the Aug07-1158 release with all
the gadget header files included. I forgot to check them in to RCS,
so they weren't included in the last distribution. -- Chris
Release Aug07-1158
__________________________________________________________________
* Selection box, Message box, and File Selection Box updates from
Danny Backx and Mitch Miers
* The rest of the gadgets are in, thanks to Mitch Miers.
* Event passing from XmManager to XmGadget is in now. The individual
gadgets do not all take advantage of it, though. Take a look at the
initialize() and input_dispatch methods of the pushbuttongadget for
an example how it might work.
* Integrated the scrollbar fixes contributed by Peter van Helden.
* The virtual key bindings are working now. To get keyboard input for
some window managers (like fvwm, mwm seems to be ok), just set the
resource "*.input" to True. For example: 'test1 -xrm "*.input:
True"' will work. There is an example .motifbind file in this
distribution in "example.motifbind". Just move that to
~/.motifbind, and those bindings should work, given that you're not
running mwm, or you haven't set the defaultVirtualBindings
resource.
* The beginnings of keyboard traversal within manager widgets.
Actually, the code properly calls XmProcessTraversal in most cases,
but this function only prints out the argument at the moment.
* Beginnings of synthetic resources for resolution independence.
Check out the syn_resources in Label.c for an example.
* The whole menu/cascadebutton scheme should be a little more
bug-free now.
* New XmCreateSimple* routines contributed by Mitch Miers.
* The RowColumn layout for XmWORK_AREA (at least) is broken for the
moment. I'll get to this next week.
* I've taken the liberty of once again reorganizing the test trees.
Now, each directory has in it files named "test1", "test2", etc.
When contributing test cases, which are desparately needed right
now, focus on a particular feature of the widget, and write a
concise test of that feature.
* Hopefully I haven't missed anything. Enjoy this new release -- The
LessTif developers.
Release Jul16-2340
__________________________________________________________________
* Many, many updates from Danny Backx (who seems to be the only one
of us with much time this summer :)
* Made ArrowButton descendant of Primitive, instead of Label.
* Compilation should work now on SunOS 5.4 (no testing done though).
I've built LessTif on a sparc 5 I've got access to at work, without
a hitch.
* Scale widget is in (Finally). Actually, this should have been in
for some time now, except I lost Paul's email that contained it.
Thanks Paul.
* FYI - LessTif was featured in the August issue of Unix Review Guess
some people actually like the idea of a free Motif (nah... can't be
:)
* Administrativia - Releases will now be made weekly, either sometime
Sunday night or early Monday morning (depending on how much is
going on at the time.) I'll try to follow this religiously, but I
may slip up every now and then (I'll have a really good excuse,
though.)
Release Jul09-2314
__________________________________________________________________
* Too much to really speak of... sorry for the delay in the release.
I did not (and still don't) have reliable access to an X display
for testing purposes. This will change in the following week, but
testing for this release is extremely important. Please email all
bug reports to toshok@cs.uidaho.edu. Thanks.
Release May25-0249
__________________________________________________________________
* New _XmOS functions, and stubs for the internal _XmString
functions, although there is no "internal" representation yet.
* Updated instance variables for primitive widgets
* Cleaned up the shadow drawing routines.
* Making better use of ActionProcs.
* Got Label Gadgets working finally -- others should move along soon.
* Fixed default procs so they work with gadgets as well as widgets.
* Menu stuff is working a little better now.. still no traversal, but
the MegaButton widget now works :)
* Bernd Wiserner wins the award for most contributions in a single
day. He contributed a new suite of Imakefiles, which allow shared
libraries, as well as the XmUpdateDisplay function and
* Fixed incorrect default size for separators. Now menus look quite a
bit better.
* Did a lot of work with the label. Now uses the TextRect correctly
(I hope).
* Shouldn't see any more SIGSEGV's with pulldown menus.
* The scrollbar, my bad habit, is now drawing better, but is still
broken.
* Fixed many problems.
* Not all the bug reports for the last ROTD have been fixed yet, but
I'm working on it :)
Release May10-0051
__________________________________________________________________
* Changed the test Imakefiles so that they don't build the Motif
executables by default.
* Added Paul's shared library snippet to the Imakefiles
* Restructure directories. Hopefully, when the source starts getting
really big, it'll be easier to find stuff this way.
* Label and RowColumn query_qeometry method is working better.
* Form widget is coming along (thanks Danny Backx!)
* New version of the List widget (Thanks Jim!)
* Basic expose method for TextFields. When I get time, I'll probably
hack up Matt's Text Widget to make the TextField, unless he beats
me to it :)
Release Apr25-0550 -----------------
* From Jim Hunt - List Widget draws correctly, methods 95% written,
actions started
* Added most of the XmColorProc stuff.
* New XmAll.h header -- thanks Paul.
* New Text Widget, from Matt Crosby.
* Moved functions around, and added new files, more in keeping with
the OSF's source layout (from information gleened from Xm/XmP.h)
* Public and Private Stubs for
+ The Pixmap stuff
+ Gadgets utilities
+ Traversal
+ XmCreateVaSimple* calls
* Big bug fix in FontList.c -- XmFontListAppendEntry thanks to all
that reported it.
* Currently XmScrolledWindowWidgets are broken. They'll be fixed in
the next ROTD (I hope :)
* Most widget subclasses and programs compile now. They are still in
the hopelessly broken phase, but they compile :)
Release Apr23-1256 -----------------
* Multiline and multifont labels now work.
* Gadgets are there (well, they just #include the widget headers and
#define some things).
* [17]PhaserChess actually works now. I actually made some small
changes to the PhaserChess source to get it to work, but I started
with an unadulterated tree a few days ago, and it worked.
* ScrolledWindows work now -- at least with the scrolling policy set
to XmAPPLICATION_DEFINED and the scroll bar placement set to
XmBOTTOM_RIGHT.
* Harald Albrecht's ComboBox widget, which XWord makes use of,
compiles now. It has problems running, since the list widget and
text field widgets don't quite work yet, but this is a pretty big
step, since it's a subclass of Motif widgets.
* XWord compiles now. Don't take this news as more than it really is.
It doesn't even come close to running. But it will :)
Release Apr20-0325 -----------------
* C++ safe header files (extern "C" { .. }).
* Initial XmFormWidget work. Should work if you only use
XmATTACH_FORM or XmATTACH_WIDGET. It uses an interative layout
algorithm, so I assume it's much the same as OSF's (since I've seen
errors about bailing out after 10000 iterations in some of my
broken Motif code.)
* Labels are very nearly complete. Paul Hoad contributed pixmap
support for them, and I've just completed (I hope) the set_values
method. The actions need to be done, but that's about it.
* Jim Hunt contributed a new version of the List widget.
* VendorShells are actually working now, so the Virtual Binding and
Traversal stuff can now move forward, and some of the default
resource procedures can be written now.
* XmStrings (via XmStringCreateLtoR can now be used with multiple
lines.
* Menu fixes -- they're working better, but still not quite right
(i.e. no pointer or keyboard grabs or traversal).
* PhaserChess is actually playable now -- try it out.
Release Apr10-1917 -----------------
* MenuBars are very close to working. This includes the CascadeButton
stuff, MenuShell stuff, and the RowColumn stuff.
* RowColumns in general work a lot better than before. They actually
make use of the RepType facilities now, so you can specify packing
resources (for example) in resource files.
* PhaserChess (another hungry product) compiles and links with
LessTif now, but it still doesn't work properly yet -- there are
problems in some of the set_values code and the Text widget isn't
functioning properly yet.
* Mosaic 2.5b4 very nearly compiles -- problems with gadgets not
being there yet.
* If you noticed from above, I've removed the line about not looking
at the Motif headers. This is do to the fact that, while trying to
get Mosaic and moxftp to compile, I discovered that some people
make frequent use of private instance variables and undocumented
Motif functions. I've therefore changed most of the widgets
(managers mostly) to use the Motif 1.2 naming conventions. The
primitives will come along eventually.
