1.8.10 patch 1 (sasha+Geoff Burling+Jan Fedak)
o Numerous man page and usage fixes by Geoff Burling.
o Fixed bug in DefaultGeometry handling where check for USPosition/Size
should have been negated.
o Fixed compilation bug in lib/parse.c
o Fixed minor typho in afterstep man page.
o Debugged background setting on multihead config. It apperas that
asetroot cannot be run with -l if it is named other then asetroot.
Otherwise background selection from the menu does not work.
o Updated Clean to use ProcessModuleArgs. Added global var display_name
that is set to --display argument value or env var $DISPLAY 's value.
MOst modules must be updated to remove var with the same name from
main().
o Applied patch from Jan Fedak to add startup geometry to database
parameters.
o Applied patch from Jan Fedak to fix hotkeys in menus.
o Applied patch to get AfterStep to change Icon when Title is changing.
New feel option - FollowTitleChanges in feel has to be used to enable
this feature.
o Fixed Tile's -h handling.
o added support for maximization to not exceed screen size, while
working with xinerama.
o man pages fixes.
o Fixed socket/pipes reading loops to not cause 100% CPU utilization
under CYGWIN and in some cases even on Unix.
o Fixed Menus pointer location handling to use coordinates from events
and not abuse XQueryPointer. Otherwise menus were behaving strange
whenever events were late due to one reason or others.
1.8.9 patch 1 (sasha)
o Fix X libraries order, to have Xext preceed X11 - causes problems on
some Solaris systems.
o fixed two warnings related to time.h
o commented out dependency checking to avoid problems for users with old
compilers. It is not needed in stable series anyways.
o Added functionality to WindowsDesk function. If second argument is
10000 then first is relative desk number, instead of exact.
o Implemented Xinerama support. When window is initially placed - it
will be appropriately moved to not appear in between monitors, unless
user requested geometry explicetely.
o When Xinerama is active, and asetroot is requested to scale or pad
background image to the screen size it will use size of the first head
( the one with origin of 0,0 ).
o Implemented separate Feel, Look, Background and Init/Restart functions
for different screens in multihead config with no Xinerama.
o We now read $TMPDIR in order to locate /tmp directory, and falling back
to /tmp if envvar is not set.
o somewhat fixed Align and Pad fields in the Asetroot config parsing.
1.8.8 patch 1 (sasha+allanon)
o installastheme.pl now uses the first screen depth reported by xdpyinfo
instead of the last; this fixes problems with the look not updating on
XFree86 4.x (allanon)
o removed reference to xiterm from Wharf config file; wharf now tries to
load aterm, and then xterm if that fails (allanon)
o fix to mystyle drawing as applyed to empty menu drawing
o removed config reading from the pipe - was causing some compile time
problems and really was never needed.
o updated README.nl

updated as_xpm.c accordingly.
1.8.4 patch 4 (sasha)
o Added -fPIC to the compilation flags when compiling with GCC so to allow
for compilation on IA64 architecture( as sugested on AS MailingList).
1.8.4 patch 3 (sasha)
o Removed lots of memory allocation code from lib/safemalloc.c. It was not
used anyways, but was causing problems on some older compilers.
o Fixed src/afterstep/module.c to use different name for the socket when
compiled under MS Windows (CYGWIN).
1.8.4 patch 2 (sasha)
o fixed bug in iconization of windows with shaped icons, that was causing
some servers to crash.
o fixed harmless bug in menu window creation code, that was causing error
message on startup - trying to create window with width = 0
1.8.4 patch 1 (sasha)
o fixed Audio to wait for delay only after sounds that has been played
successfully
o patched nasty bug in libasimage/mystyle_property.c so that None pixmap
does not get checked.
1.8.0 patch 4 (sasha)
o rewrote Audio. It now autodetects rplay via configure; external player
command has been moved into configure too, only args can be specifyed in
audio config. Two more built-in options added - builtin-cat to stream
contents of the sound file directly to /dev/audio, and builtin-stdout
to dump it to STDOUT.
o fixed afterstep to assign screen = Scr.screen to fix garbled output on
multiscreen
o cosmetic change in startmenu to read Star Office suite instead of site
o added default colors to Pager's BorderColor, GridColor and SelectionColor
o changed socket to use /tmp instead of non-configurable
1.8.0 patch 3 (sasha)
o Fixed extra line in .depend files causing make to fail
o backported true transparency changes from 1.9 into pixmap.c

o removed screen from libraries (backported from 1.9 )
o fixed .depend files to hopefully compile on dumb Solaris.
1.8.0 patch 1 (allanon+Myrlin+sasha)
o fixed annoying XError messages when starting asetroot after previous
asetroot was killed
o added signal handlers to asetroot to correctly exit on afterstep exit
o fixed minor memory leaks in asetroot occuring when changing backgrounds

in both resident and run-once modes.
o fixed man page concerning IconTitle (Myrlin)
o fixed man page WRT BackMultiGradient modes 8 and 9
o WinList: fixed segfault due to balloons

transparent to the user
o removed --enable-makemenus (NO_MAKESTARTMENU); this option's
functionality no longer exists

work with no warnings and no errors
o Auto: REMOVED module, as it does not work as well as the equivalent AS
function (AutoRaise)
o Form: modified escaping rules to backslash-escape all non-alphanumeric
characters, not just single quote, double quote, and backslash; this

( it was main frame window before ).
o Minor Cleanup of Iconify, DeIconify, HandleUnmapNotify, HandleMapNotify,
MapIt, UnmapIt. The idea was to use MapIt and UnmapIt as much as possible.

o function codes are now enumerations vs. macros. Two functions where
added to obtain function definition term out of function text or code,
to menuitem.c
o fixed minor memory leak in asetroot
o Pager now supports "*PagerDesk<desknum>" MyStyle definitions, which
duplicates functionality of *PagerDeskStyle option. *PagerDeskStyle
has higher priority. The reason for addition was to enable easy theme
creation.
o Fixed window moving in Pager so it allows to move window off the
screen, and when cursor goes off the Pager - desk will be changedfor
the window that is being moved.
o man pages updated for Pager, asetroot and afterstep to reflect

for better modularity when static libraries are used.
o function parsing now using TermDef stuff to parse function and describe
function's syntax. (see menuitem.c)
o menus.h moved from include/ to src/afterstep as it is only used in
afterstep. All the modules are modifyed respectevely.
o menu parsing stuff is greately reworked, streamlined and simplyfied.
o added CreateMenuItem, DeleteMenuItem, CreateRootMenu;
removed ParseMenuItem, added MenuItemFromFunc instead;
removed AddToMenu as not needed.
o MenuItem removed from MouseButton struct as it was not needed.
o type of the func_val members in Menu* structures changed to short to save
up some memory, as it is not likely that we'll ever get screen dimentions
as big as 32Kx32K
o FuncKeyRoot member of ScreenInfo changed to pointer.
o windows.c updated to use new menu item handling stuff.
o added string_from_int() to parse.c.
o UloadImage,UnloadMask,mystrdup,mystrndup changed to enable tracking

XGetWMProtocols, XGetWMName, XGetClassHint, XGetAtomName, and
XStringListToTextProperty to audit code
o reworked the window desktop placement code; the following describes
how the new code should work:
1. if sticky, use current desk
2. _XA_WIN_DESK, if set
3. if the client requested a specific desk on the command line, use that
4. if part of a window group, same desk as another member of the group
5. if a transient, same desk as parent
6. use StartsOnDesk from database, if set
7. the current desk
o removed redundant SaveDesktopState() function
o added note in afterstep man page mentioning requirements for using
transparency modes 129 and 130
o iconified windows may now be shaped again, in much the same way that
Wharf buttons can be shaped; to get a completely transparent
background, use a completely transparent pixmap as the ButtonPixmap
o removed redundant aswindow_get_size() function in favor of
get_window_geometry()
o fixed MyStyle bug that would cause crashes when reading a style in a
module which had F_BACKTRANSPIXMAP set and not F_BACKPIXMAP (this is
an invariant violation, btw, and should never happen, but was
happening in rare cases involving MyStyle inheritance)
o Wharf: if a swallowed window dies, Wharf waits for a click on the
button, then relaunches and swallows the app
o Wharf: MaxSwallow'ing a 64x64 window puts the window in the right
place again
1.7.142 patch 3 (allanon)

pointers.
o fixed window moving in Pager so windows stays where you put them, when
releasing mouse button.
o somemore cleanup in afterstep/configure.c and afterstep/modules.c
primarily in AS command parsing/processing code, it should also fix
some bugs in menu parsing code from patch 12.
o added log_call to audit.c to enable easy tracing of library calls.
So far it is implemented only for load/unload_font(). but can be used
on any function, if need arises.
o added ifdef DONT_GRAB_SERVER to allow disabling of XGrabServer calls
while debugging afterstep.
o removed ifneq/endif from makefiles to possibly fix compilation with
ANSI make.
1.7.126 patch 14 (allanon)
o removed --enable-iconbackground configure option (and the corresponding
define, NO_ICON_BACKGROUND), and replaced it with the following:
o floating icon titles are now DISABLED by "SeparateButtonTitle 0" in
the look file; they are on by default
o fixed-size icons may be specified by the ButtonSize option
o icon background color/gradient/pixmap is set by ButtonPixmap MyStyle
o no longer shape iconified windows at all; with icon backgrounds,
shaping doesn't make sense unless the background has a mask (which is
not yet allowed)

ButtonTitleFocus, ButtonTitleSticky, ButtonTitleUnfocus; see NEW file
and afterstep man page for more details
o rewrote half of icons.c :)
o new property _WIN_DESK set on all client windows; this allows AS to
put windows back on the correct desk when restarting
o fixed memory leak in fill_with_darkened_background(); thanks VERY MUCH
to sasha for doing most of the work to find this; mode 129 transparency
should no longer eat up memory in insane fashions

1.7.126 patch 9 (sasha and allanon)
o new gradient code! features follow:
o dithers (using a random dither) if necessary and possible, to improve
smoothness of gradients in less than 24bpp; this is actually faster
than the old method (sometimes much faster)
o new truecolor gradient code looks much better when it can be used;
also much faster than the dithering technique above
o multi-point gradients have been added to MyStyles; see NEW file and
afterstep man page for more information
1.7.126 patch 8 (allanon)
o memory auditing code now keeps track of maximum total normal and X
memory allocations
o Wharf: fixed problem with multiple rows/columns when the number of
buttons is not evenly divisible by the rows (or columns)
1.7.126 patch 7 (tildouf and allanon)
o icon title background is now the same as the titlebar background,
except that tinted transparency is just transparent (not tinted)
1.7.126 patch 6 (Tigr)
o Animate: now uses aslib module code
o Auto: now uses aslib module code
o Audio: now uses aslib module code

o shading is no longer reset when restarting, and windows will be
re-shaded after restart
1.7.126 patch 3 (allanon)
o added new define for AfterStep-specific library dependencies in
Makefiles; was getting "No rule to make `-ljpeg'." before
o removed suggestion to use 'Wait "I" asetroot' from autoexec; since
asetroot doesn't make a window, this would cause afterstep to hang
o fixed call to asetroot in RestartFunction
1.7.126 patch 2 (allanon)
o iconified windows are no longer treated as open while moving around an
AvoidCover window
o moved Tigr's iconified windows patch; ICONIFIED should take precedence
over SHADED
o module socket is now mode 0700 for better security
1.7.126 patch 1 (sasha)
o CheckASMessage changed to CheckASMessageFine, allowing for timeouts
of milliseconds. CheckASMessage is now macro calling this function.
o added check for endiannes, and respective byte swapping code in XImage
access macros in stepgfx.h. That should produce correct colors in > 8bpp
on SUN.
o added make dep; target, that should produce dependancy list in .depend
file, that gets included in Makefile and allows fopr atomagical
recompilation in headers or libraries has changed.
o Minor cleanup in most of the modules, removing includes for broken sun
headers - it is not used anyways.
1.7.111 patch 15 (sasha+Tigr)
o applyed Tigr's patch for better handling of iconifyed windows with no
icon associated with them.
o Fixed bug in asetroot, causing it not to change background if you just
started it and have not had a chance to change current desk yet.
Reported by Tigr.
o Added importasmenu script in to tools dir, to help GNOME and KDE users
import their menus into AfterStep menu.
o Completed base gradients code, now MyStyles code and other stuff needs
to be converted to use it, and old code needs to be dropped.
New code has same size as old one, works twice as fast when dithering
is not needed, and allows for 8 different gradients and 2 modes (
ditheringand no dithering ).
1.7.111 patch 14 (sasha)
o Fixed Pager to reload root backgrounds only if current desk is serviced
by this instance of Pager.
o Fixed several bugs in asetroot causing all sorts of trouble while
changing backgrounds.
o Fixed bug in asetroot when Wait would never detect asetroot -k.
o Fixed autoexec file for asetroot.
o added code for diagonal gradients. Still it's not yet connected to the
main code, as it needs more work.
o added src/test to configure, so that Makefile gets created.
1.7.111 patch 13 (sasha)
o Fixed bug in WinList causing corrupted background when transprency is
used.
o Fixed bug in MyAllocColor causing it to wrongfully allocate colors
in depth higher 24bpp (red component in particular ).
o Added code to work on color as a single 32bit value (ASCOLOR), vs. 3 8 bit
components. That allows for most operations (sum, averaging, etc. ) to
be done as single arithmetic operation combined with masking of unused
bits. In particular it allows to get rid of all the floating point
calculations in gradient drawing, resulting in 100% improvements in speed.
o Completely rewrote color allocation functionality to employ new ASCOLOR
technique.
o Changed code for image loading from file, to employ new ASCOLOR technique.
o Implemented Gradient drawing with dithering, utilizing ASCOLOR technique.
( Diagonal gradients are yet to be done ). It is using old drawing
techinque, when there are enough colors available and dithering is not
needed. As dithering is about 10 times slower as conventional gradient
drawing (still yelding satisfying performance thou). Additional parameter
was added to gradient drawing function - finess. It sagnificantly speeds
things up, allowing for only several lines of gradient to be calculated,
vs. every single line. It could one of the several things :
- finess = -1 - default finess of 20 is used.
- finess = 0 - highes quality of gradient
- finess > 0 - defines number of lines that needs to be calculated and then
repeated with finess period. It is always limited to the length of the
gradient.
o Mentioned gradient drawing stuff was not yet used anywhere else, as I think,
it needs some more testing on different architectures and color depthes,
and diagonal gradients are yet to be done.
o src/test directory added to provide with ready to use general purpose
code for testing of the development stuff. I think it'd be good to keep it
at least untill stable release, as it is not taking alot of space, and is not
compiled by default. Right now it is used for gradients testing.
1.7.111 patch 12 (allanon)
o AutoReverse no longer ignores windows with both NoTitle and NoHandles;
instead it ignores windows with WindowListSkip or NoFocus
o xv windows should no longer creep upward while looking through the
list of loaded images (oops!)
o Wharf: left-clicking the withdrawn wharf when the top button is a
folder now works as expected; ie, the wharf remains withdrawn, and
the folder is opened; un-withdrawing wharf closes the folder if
necesary
1.7.111 patch 11 (sasha)
o completed asetroot
o removed background loading from Pager
o fixed --disable-pagerbackground
o updated man pages for asetroot and Pager
o fixes to lib/ASModule.c
o made pixmap caching in libasimage optional -it's turned off in asetroot
o updated WinList to use new module stuff
o updated Zharf to use new module stuff, and support JPEG and PNG.
o partly fixed balloons in Zharf - need to add code to actually
attach /detach balloons to buttons.
o updated config files pager.in, asetroot.in, autoexec.in.
It is expected that things will stop working after all that.
1.7.111 patch 10 (sasha)
o added lib/asproperty.c for general X property reading/writing.
include/asproperty.h - header for it.
mystyle_property.c changed accordingly.
o completed asetroot to set X property with information about all
root backgrounds loaded. Now it's time to remove background stuff
from Pager.
o implemented temporary memory storage to prevent memory fragmentation
tests with asetroot did not show any improvements.May need some more
researching - posibly can improve memory consumption while loading
small images.
o simplifyed stuff in module.h
1.7.111 patch 9 (allanon)
o change desks before placing new windows, allowing interactive placement
to work better
1.7.111 patch 8 (allanon)

1.7.111 patch 7 ( sasha )
o rewritten asetroot to provide for richer background configuration options.
o afterstep/asetroot sample config updtaed accordingly and has some description
of new config options.
o asetroot config changed to use unifyed parser. ASetRoot.c added to
src/Config
o added include/background.h to provide with set of root background
functionality that can be used in other modules/apps from libasimage.
It is planned to implement backgrounds info storage in X property
(single), similar to MyStyles. So it can be accesses from several
modules/apps. When it's done src/asetroot/background.c will be moved
into libasimage.
o Functionality to parse module command line, init X connection, init
AfterStep connection, construct coinfig file name and load config,
X and AS image checking was moved into libafterstep, to eliminate
duplicate code in modules. lib/module.c split into lib/ASmodule.c
(holding basic functionality without X connection) and lib/Xmodule.c
additional functionality to be used by modules that use X.
All the modules will need to be modifyed accordingly if this change
will be agreed by development team.
o added CheckASMessage function to enable AfterStep message checking
to skip duplicate messages.
TODO :
o Enable backgrounds info storage as X property
o Remove background loading from Pager, leaving optional background
switching functionality.
o Update asetroot man page
o Update every module to use new libafterstep functionality.

a module (Frederick Bruckman <fb@enteract.com>)
o Audio: now plays correct sounds for events, including startup and
shutdown (tildouf)
1.7.111 patch 5 (allanon)
o changed "cp -R" to "cp -r"; solaris 2.3's cp doesn't have the -R option
o changed check for STDC_HEADERS to _SC_OPEN_MAX in GetFdWidth; solaris
2.3 doesn't define STDC_HEADERS, and doesn't have getdtablesize()
o fixed crash when a menu item name is null (eg, Exec "" echo)
o module pipes are now non-blocking all the time
o HandleModuleInput() now keeps a buffer of input from a given module
until a command is complete
o rewrote AutoReverse (0 and 1), and Circulate(); WarpFore no longer
hangs AfterStep when CirculateSkipIcons is set, all windows are
iconified, and an icon has focus
o fixed icon placement bug; xv window's full size was being used for
determining placement
1.7.111 patch 4 (sashav)
o fixed bug in Pager causing it not to update background when selected
from the menu.
o if Pager crashes for you with this patch please send me your pager
config file !!!
o more logical data structures are now used in parser.
o added functionality to the parser so it can now automagically handle
nested constructs, like MyStyle or PagerDecoration. It can now handle
unlimited number of nested semantics. FreeStorage now is tree like
structure vs. linear.
o added flag for atomagical handling of config terminating term, such
as ~MyStyle.
o changed Pager's and MyStyles parsing code accordingly.
1.7.111 patch 3 (tildouf)

afterstep.man, configure.c and look.nek
1.7.111 patch 2 (allanon)
o makeasversion: now updates AfterStep.spec version

iconified when changing views
o added check for negative file descriptors when setting non-blocking I/O
1.7.111 patch 1 (allanon)
o made sure non-blocking I/O is off for module sockets, unless writing
to them; this may help on *BSD systems?
o fixed frame keywords in afterstep.man (oops!)
o fixed (hopefully) frame pixmap positioning; if it's wrong, i'm sure
tildouf will tell me :)
o fixed vertical titlebar text positioning when the text is truncated
1.7.90 patch 21 (sasha+mihm)
o fixed WinList positioning when South/East gravity is desired.

o included AfterStep.spec and redhat start/ directory for creation
of rpm's by using the tarball.
o modifications to various README files to explain rpm creation
process.
1.7.90 patch 20 (allanon)
o fixed crash when DecorateFrames is set, but no frame pixmaps are defined
o fixed window positioning code WRT frames

o updated README.jp
o fixed compilation problems in misc.c with I18N
o fixed fontheight
o Ident: fixed I18N code
1.7.90 patch 17 (allanon)

often-loaded pixmaps (such pixmaps are now loaded only once)
o added note to afterstep.man mentioning the default Maximize options
o removed non-configurable/startmenu; this file is no longer parsed;
instead, the start directory is always melted
1.7.90 patch 16 (allanon)
o Animate: removed hanging else
o Pager: replaced alloca() with safemalloc()
o Wharf: added new option, WithdrawStyle, to tell Wharf where to grab
mouse button 3; 0 == never, 1 == all toplevel buttons, 2 == top/bottom
buttons (or left/right, for horizontal Wharfs)
1.7.90 patch 15 (nekked)
o changed frames to windows
o fixes for WinList geometry
o cursors can now be used with frames, see feel.nek for examples
1.7.90 patch 14 (nekked)

o Fixed another minor drawing bug in Wharf, now all texture types
should look OK when pushed with no border
o Fixed Wharf folder position with MaxSwallow of non-modules
o Optimized repeated code in resize.c, slightly more modular
approach
o Added 6 new rubberband effects: wmaker, tek, tek2, corners,
hash, grid.
o Changed a few function headers, so that some of the previous
can be possible, ie. MoveOutline () needs a pointer to the
ASWindow being moved/resized, etc. Changed all calls to these
functions appropriately - move.c, resize.c, pager.c, events.c
1.7.90 patch 12 (nekked)
o new options added
o Look file:
DecorateFrames 0|1 - turns the lowbar off and turns window frames on
FrameNorth image - image for the topmost part of the border
FrameSouth image - bottom border
FrameWest image - left border
FrameEast image - right border
FrameTL image - top left corner
FrameTR image - top right corner
FrameBL image - bottom left corner
FrameBR image - bottom right corner
o Feel file:
CustomCursor number bitmap mask - specifies custom cursor,
refer to the feel file to see what the number is, bitmap is
a depth 1 pixmap and so is the mask, examples are included
in afterstep/desktop/cursors. Cursors and masks are expected
to be located in CursorPath.
o Base.#bpp files:
CursorPath - specifies the path where cursors are located, the
default paths are /usr/local/share/afterstep/desktop/cursors and
~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/desktop/cursors
o included look.nek and feel.nek that demonstrate these.
o included cursors (taken from an E theme, ugh)
o included pixmaps for look.nek
o added database.nek that demonstrates how I think it should be set up
for framed looks
o small fix for alt-tab
o a fix for a bug in Gnome that caused it to segfault on occasion
o fixed a compilation warning in Gnome when --enable-audit not given to
configure
1.7.90 patch 11 (allanon)
o added to description of IconBox in afterstep man page

o ascommand.pl: new option --interactive; reads commands from stdin,
prompting the user
1.7.90 patch 10 (allanon)
o asimagelib: no longer crop images to screen size when loading
o asimagelib: added accurate, but extremely slow, scaling algorithm;
it is commented out pending optimization and generalization to non-
16bpp truecolor modes
o initialize have_xpm_write to 0 in configure script; fixes builds on
systems without libXpm
o added README.id (Indonesian); a big thanks to Mohammad Nafiri

o declaration of mystyle_process_definitions removed from mystyle.h
o ProcessMyStyleDefinitions added to confdefs.h as it makes more sense.
o minor fixes to parser code and MyStyles.c code to prevent warnings in
egcs.
1.7.90 patch 5 (sasha)
o Several bugfixes and improvements in parser code.
It now reports statement read from config file as public
(non executable specific), private, enabled, disabled and/or
foreign(belonging to other executable.
Accordingly writer can treat file in desired way - like leave
only global statemets, leave comments, etc...
o added MyStyle parsing code using parser. It now can be incorporated
into any module.
o Possible this new stuff has bugs as I did not have enough time to test
it well( I'm getting a new PC ), they should not affect anything other
then Pager. I apologize for any inconvinience.
1.7.90 patch 4 (allanon)
o added description of PutOnTop, PutOnBack, SetLayer to afterstep.man
o changed AutoRaise code back to signal(SIGALRM); it's much uglier, but
a bug in glibc-2.0.7 causes segfaults with the timer implementation
o (nekked) enabled DecorateTransients and disabled PagingDefault in
feel.GNOME
o (nekked) Gnome: disabled debug output

o updated pager, wharf, winlist, zharf, and all looks to reflect changes
o AutoRaise is now handled by the timer code
o Gnome: replaced snprintf() with strcpy(); snprintf() is not portable
o Pager: now uses style "*PagerBalloon" for balloons
o Wharf: now uses style "*WharfBalloon" for balloons
o WinList: now uses style "*WinListBalloon" for balloons
o Zharf: removed balloons (they would require adding style support)
1.7.90 patch 1 (nekked)
o added more flags to Ident, avoid cover, skipfocus, shaded, maximized,
windowlistskip, circulateskip, transient and a check if AS is running
with Gnome enabled
o removed the annoying alarmalarm debugging fprintf from WinList
o Gnome handles the DOCK layer properly now
o checks for window id None that we sometimes receive from AS, this caused
Internal error messages
o comments added to Gnome, described function calls etc.
o some changes to feel.GNOME, NoPPosition is off now like it should be
1.7.75 patch 15 (nekked)
o added NOFOCUS flags to SET_FLAGS
o fixed STICKY in Gnome
o workspace requests now properly followed
o updated feel.GNOME
o bugfixes for the Gnome module (flag handling, configure events)

o updated the Gnome man page
o added feel.GNOME
o gnome logo added to icons
1.7.75 patch 13 (sasha)
o fixed bug in Pager that would not let it remove sticky windows off
the desk, if desk is changed to outside of Pager's limits.
o fixed Pager segfaulting when no label is specifyed in config
o some improvements to parser code
o new code for writing configuration back to file ( or memory buffer )
Config writes is capable of preserving comments and, possibly
unknown options. That can be disabled at runtime if needed.
o options in config files can be temporary disabled and still remain
readable for parser, by embedding "#~~DISABLED~~# signature somewhere
in option parameters.
o I sure hope I've got all the elements of config reading/writing in
place by now. But minor improvements are yet to be made, like:
- better handling of options belonging to other executables.
- better handling of disabled options ( possible move disable signature
in front of option to make config compatible with older AfterStep
versions.
- more options for writing config.
- more datatypes supported.
o added WritePagerOptions to src/Config/Pager.c for writing Pager's
options to file.
1.7.75 patch 12 (allanon)
o added new module-only function, SET_FLAGS; SET_FLAGS changes AS's
internal flags for a window; USE WITH CAUTION!! the internal flags
are NOT guaranteed to continue to exist, much less stay the same as
they are; basically, only AS modules (which can use the defines in
module.h) should use this function
o ascommand.pl can now be passed several command line options (including
--help and --version); one of these is --window-id, which sets the
window id passed to AfterStep
1.7.75 patch 11 (nekked)
o more GNOME stuff
o fixes for WinList, it would crash when a button was clicked on, gradients
would show with hide width and height.
1.7.75 patch 10 (allanon)
o icons get placed in too-small IconBoxes again (was broken in patch 6)
o if an iconbox is closer to the right edge of the screen than the left,
it will be scanned from right to left for an open space; similarly
for an iconbox which is closer to the bottom than the top
o if an icon overflows the iconbox, and the iconbox is closer to the
right edge than the left, the icon will align with the right edge of
the iconbox; same for bottom
o Gnome: replaced snprintf() with strcpy() and strncpy(); snprintf() is
not portable; hopefully this works (I don't have Gnome) :)
o WinList: replaced snprintf() with strncpy()
1.7.75 patch 9 (sasha)
o Fixed Pager's transparency, broken in patch 06.
o Fixed WinList placement code - for any gravity now.
1.7.75 patch 8 (Makoto Kato <m_kato@ga2.so-net.ne.jp>)
o fixed mystyle property of asimagelib since WinList and Pager always
crash with I18N

extra gcc warnings (list of warnings taken from rxvt)
o added prototypes for put_png_scanline() and LoadPNGFile() to as_png.c
o fixed prototypes for Reborder, SaveWindowsOpened, SetCirculateSequence
o changed some library functions to use the same parameter types as
the libc functions they call
o Broadcast() and SendPacket() now use the varargs facility, allowing a
variable number of arguments; note, however, that this means type
casting to unsigned int is no longer optional when passing anything
except int, signed int, or unsigned int (or a typedef thereof)
o rewrote replaceEnvVar() to handle shell variables of the form ${VAR}
o removed redundant function SendText(); SendInfo() is exactly the same
o Wharf: strip spaces after Geometry specification if necessary; was
causing Wharf to show up in random places
o remove borders from bottom to top in Reborder(); restarting AS should
no longer reverse the window stacking order
o use XMoveResizeWindow instead of XMoveWindow on the client window in
SetupBorder; the window was placed wrong if the win_gravity wasn't
NorthWestGravity
o tried to optimize view changes somewhat; see note in MoveViewport()
o added get_window_geometry() to make determining window size (normal,
shaded, iconized) easy
o rewrote AutoPlace() and SmartPlacement() to use get_window_geometry()
1.7.75 patch 5 (sasha)
o Fixed few bugs in parsing code causing segfaults.
o Fixed bug in Pager causing it to not display root background on startup.
o Fixed bug in WinList causing it to get wierd size on look changes.
o Fixed bug in WinList causing it to not display background on startup.
o added base.bpp file parsing definition and functions to src/Config.

1.7.75 patch 3 (sasha)
o Changed WinList LeftJustify option to Justify <left|center|right>
o Fixed WinList man page
o Fixed ( hopefully ) WinList placement code - so winlist no longer
floats away
o fixed WinList segfaulting when it's vertical and no MaxWidth specifyed
1.7.75 patch 2 (nekked)
o more GNOME hints supported
o fixes for what was broken in Gnome
o man page for Gnome
o added entries for GNOME panel and gmc to database
o removed the TODO file
o config file for GNOME desks
1.7.75 patch 1 (sasha)
o fixed bug in WinList causing it to segfault on startup if there are no
windows to show.
o fixed asetroot image loading to load with better quality (nekked)
o finalized parsing code :
Parsing is done in 3 steps :
1. parsing source data from file or memory buffer in to the
"Free Storage" (suggested by allanon), in which it is stored as a
list of combinations of term definition reference and actual data
This is done by code in parcer.c.
2. Free Storage is then processed by module specific function to extract
actual usefull data and store it in the module-specific structure
This is done by code in src/Config/Modulename.c
3. Module-specific config structure is then processed by module itself
to initialize it's global variables, and get's deallocated by module
as needed.
o parser.c moved to lib to make it available for other modules
o parser.h moved to include
o created src/Config to hold all the module specific configuration
definitions and methods.
o Moved Pager to use new unifyed parsing code
o Updated Pager.man to reflect config changes.

1.7.49 patch 11 (sasha)
o This is the first patch in series of Pager rewrite patches.
Work is still in progress, so there might be minor glitches.
o Pager now understands MyStyle options. The following styles should be
defined :
"*PagerUWindowStyle"(defaults to "unfocused_window_style") - unfocused
window representation's style.
"*PagerFWindowStyle"(defaults to "focused_window_style") - focused
window representation's style.
"*PagerSWindowStyle"(defaults to "sticky_window_style") - sticky
window representation's style.
"*PagerActiveDesk" - active (selected) desk's style. BackPixmap 129 is
supported for transparency.
"*PagerInActiveDesk" - inactive desk's style. BackPixmap 129 is
supported for transparency.
o New Pager option added : *PagerStyle <stylename> to define the style
of desk's representation window. Transparecncy is supported.
o The following options has been dropped :
PagerImage - changed to PagerStyle
PagerBack,PagerFore,HiBackColor, HiForeColor,PagerFont - moved to
Active/InActive Desk style
PagerHilightBorders - absolete, can be defined in focused/unfocused
window style
PagerHilight - moved to PagerDecoration as SelectionColor
PagerTransparent - moved to style definition
PagerFastBackground - not very usefful - if somebody needs it -
give me a call
o To disable desk's title - use NoDeskLabel option of PagerDecoration
o PagerSmallFont overrides focused/unfocused window styles font definitions
More stuff to come ;)
1.7.49 patch 10 (nekked)
o new module that will provide Gnome compliancy to AS
o supported stuff, most GNOME win_state_hints, all of win_workspace,
all of win_client_list.
o unsupported or poorly supported, no translation for apps that actually
use GNOME hints, win_layers completely not supported.
o usage, there are no config files for this module, either run it from
commandline or from 'Modules' menu.
o bugs, too many updates, supported protocols listed but not supported.
1.7.49 patch 9 (allanon)
o module parameters are passed on by AfterStep again (oops!!)
o Pager: read .steprc for base options, if using steprc (oops!!)
o fixed memory leak when in executeModule()
o removed debugging printf() in KillModule()
o renamed the install.all rule in Makefiles to install.data
o added tools/Makefile.in to take care of installing ascommand.pl
o added an INSTALL_SCRIPT define to autoconf/Makefile.defines.in

o added short blurb to doc/code/Patch describing what to do if the
patches are not gzipped
o modified all Makefile.in's to have a local install and uninstall
o abort jpeg decompression if not all scan lines have been read; calling
jpeg_finish_decompress() in this case is an error
1.7.49 patch 8 (allanon)
o (module) -f ~/.steprc should work now
1.7.49 patch 7 (allanon)
o modules now broadcast their name to AfterStep, so KillModuleByName
works again; was disabled (as opposed to broken :) in patch 6
o make install installs ascommand.pl so that external programs (such
as asWhiskey, asVodka, etc) can rely on its presence
1.7.49 patch 6 (allanon)
o new method of module communication, using a UNIX-domain socket in
non-configurable; the name of the socket file is stored in the
_AS_MODULE_SOCKET X property
o modified all modules to use the new method of communication
o no longer use xpm_attributes.bitmap_format or the XpmBitmapFormat
flag; these are not in my version of libXpm
o use the DefaultScreen macro in loadimg.c and stepgfx.c, to help
prevent some aterm crashes
o added handler for XpmCreateImageFromXpmImage() to audit
o all modules now accept the -h, --help, -v, and --version options;
modules with a configuration file also accept "-f configfile"
o added tools/ascommand.pl, which sends an arbitrary command to
AfterStep, just as a module would; in fact, it *is* a module
o NOTE: modules can now be run from the command line, with pretty much
the same syntax as one would use to run them from within AS
1.7.49 patch 5 (nekked)
o removed the transient WinList option
o made buttons in vertical mode static
o added *WinListHideGeometry for winlist in autohide mode
o changed the behaviour of hidden winlist, it now shows a clock, number of
clients running, current desk when hidden. The win05-like hide technique
didn't work well due to page warping.
o handlers for SIGSEGV, SIGQUIT, SIGTERM
o substantialy rewrote winlist in an attempt to reduce the number of redraws
this is not yet complete.
o changes to geometry parsing
o changes to event handling
o changes to linked list handling
o winlist is not stable at this time, large chunks of code have been modified
I'm submitting this patch for people who are willing to test this thing out
and send me bug reports, if you're not one of them I suggest using an older
version.
o bugs - when 'h' pressed current balloon is not destroyed (i suggest
balloons_off in aslib), sometimes when no apps running winlist will not
resize properly, too many redraws, probably a lot more that I dont know
about at this moment.
1.7.49 patch 4 (sasha)
o Major improvement of libasimage:
- direct XImage data access while processing JPEG and PNG files, when
possible ( TrueColor and ColorDepth > 8 ), in put_png_scanline and
put_jpeg_scanline. Improves performance by 10-15%%.
- XPm files are now read fisrt into XpmImage and then into XImage -
surprisingly improves performance by 20%.
- added image(with mask) loading with scaling capabilities - works much
faster then load Image first and then scale it.
- other minor improvements and fixes.
o temporary fix of Pager to properly place desk windows with afterstep
1.7.51 and higher.
1.7.49 patch 3 (Makoto Kato <m_kato@ga2.so-net.ne.jp>)

o added new Style options FocusStyle, UnfocusStyle, and StickyStyle to
allow setting styles for individual windows; see README.new_options
and the afterstep man page for details
o misc.h no longer includes aftersteplib.h, menus.h, or mystyle.h; this
required including those headers in many *.c files, but gives more
control over what headers are included, and their order
o mystyle_find() now returns NULL when passed a NULL pointer (instead
of crashing)
o removed debugging fprintf()'s from mystyle_property.c :)
o removed xdiff, ydiff, ReliefPixel, ShadowPixel, TextPixel, and
BackPixel from struct ASWindow
o added style_focus, style_unfocus, style_sticky to ASWindow; these
keep track of the styles to be used for each individual window
o removed inclusion of <sys/types.h> from misc.h
o created new header, style.h, to contain name_list (Style) related stuff
o rewrote much of style.c to support MyStyle's as Style options
o ReadFileName() now returns NULL in fname when no characters are read
o matchWildcards() is now const-correct
o the system for converting from frame size to client window size and
vice versa is now much more flexible, and is concentrated in three
new functions, get_client_geometry(), get_parent_geometry(), and
get_frame_geometry(); also, titlebar geometry is now calculated in
only one place, set_title_geometry()
o changed several places which used Scr.MSFWindow.colors to use
WhitePixel() and BlackPixel() instead
o removed gradient caching; the cache was worse than useless for
VerticalTitles
o ran indent on borders.c and style.c
o Style options Color, ForeColor, and BackColor are gone; probably no
one will notice, since they weren't in the man pages, and didn't work
anyway :)
o resize handle width is now equal to title width or height, whichever
is less
1.7.49 patch 1 (sasha)
o All aterm imaging/transparency/shading code has been copied into libasimage's:
ximage_utils.c - updated scaling code now works 3 times faster on TrueColor;
ximage_utils.c - added XShadeImage - to enable shading/tinting on TrueColor.
pixmap.c - different pixmap transformation functions - see include/pixmap.h.
o fill_with_darkened_background moved into pixmap.c, args changed
o src/Wharf/icons.c, src/afterstep/menus.c and src/afterstep/borders.c
updated to use new fill_with_darkened_background.
o src/Wharf/transparency.c removed, due to all functionality being moved
into libasimage.
o transparency code from src/afterstep/menus.c removed, due to all
functionality being moved into libasimage.
o asimagelib/mystyle.c fixed to set tinting color to "white" if it was not
specifyed in transparent BG definition, or specifyed color is invalid.

o fixed the Look, Feel, and Pictures .include's to point to the share
dir properly
o added asimagelib/mystyle_property.c to handle converting MyStyle's
to and from X properties; the recommended property to use for this is
_AS_STYLE
o added newlines after MyStyle error messages
o use mystrdup() instead of strdup() in lib/font.c
o Wharf: added support for _AS_STYLE property
o Wharf: now updates look dynamically when _AS_STYLE is changed (ie,
when the AfterStep look is updated)

o no longer attempt to free iconPixmap in Destroy() if the pixmap is
set by the app (this is the case for xemacs)
o create titlebar window after handle windows

o added a signal handler that checks (not yet) for config file changes
o removed things that caused compiler warnings
o linking with shared libafterstep and libasimage will now work
o selecting images from the root menu will cause asetroot to update the
background. CAUTION: this will not work well if your Pager does image

use asetroot at this stage it is best either to disable Pager, set it to
transparent or use colour only.
o updated the man page, help needed!
o added asetroot to Modules menu.
o updated the config file to work with new options and to demonstrate the
syntax.
1.7.25 patch 10 (allanon)

do fast copy of entire horizontal line of XImage from one XImage
to another of the same type and width.

this module to eventualy takeover root window backgrounds handling from the
pager. The pager will still be able to access the root pixmap via the
XA_PIXMAP prop. At this stage asetroot compiles and tiles an image, only
and also the image filename is hardcoded into the binary. For use by the
developers only!
1.7.25 patch 04 (sasha)
o mystyle.c Added CreateTintGC.
o Added pseudotransparency with tinting option to Pager.
( using: *PagerTransparent <desk#> <color>)

1.7.25 patch 01 (allanon)
o Wharf: changed default config to MyStyle's
o Wharf: no longer crash if an invalid pixmap is requested with old
*WharfPixmap command
o make_styled_icon() with a texture_type of 0 (== solid color) now uses
the background color instead of the foreground
o start/[Look|Feel|Pictures]/.include now use an absolute path for the
share dir, to avoid problems (ie, doubled feels in menu) if the share
dir is copied to the local dir unmodified
o improved darken_pixmap() to work better on 32bpp XImages (I hope)
--
1.7.0 patch 25 (allanon)
o moved mystyle.c from src/afterstep to asimagelib
o mystyle.c no longer relies on a ScreenInfo structure
o moved definition of struct config to parse.h, requiring:
o moved parse.h before misc.h in all C files

requires aslib
o moved gradient_t to aftersteplib.h
o added icon_t to mystyle.h
o added new function, make_styled_icon(), to return an icon_t (allowing
use of pixmap masks)

them (without the Scr.) to mystyle.c
o added new function, get_styled_gcs(), to allow access to the style GCs
o findIconFile, mystrcasecmp, mystrncasecmp are more const-correct
o moved GetShadow and GetHilite to lib/getcolor.c
o moved stripcpy, stripcpy2, and find_config (was match_string2) to
lib/parse.c
o stripcpy2() no longer prints errors
o Wharf: now uses a style ("*WharfTile") for the button tiles
o Wharf: added note about style "*WharfTile" to Wharf.man
o Wharf: mode 129 (with tinting) now works
o Wharf: an undocumented feature:
MyStyle "*WharfTile"
BackPixmap 128 pixmap.xpm
BAckPixmap 129 blue
~MyStyle
... will shape the wharf with pixmap.xpm's shape, and make it
translucent blue
o Wharf: added an X error handler which prints and ignores all X errors
(this may not be a good thing) :)
o Wharf: added transparency.c to handle the transparency effect; this
may be added to asimagelib at some point
o Wharf: ran make indent
1.7.0 patch 24 (sasha)
o Pager will now correctly reset _XROOTPMAP_ID to None when exiting, and
that will keep Eterms running on restart of afterstep.
1.7.0 patch 23 (delt <deltax@dsuper.net>)
o Wharf: fixed redraw bug in pushed buttons

but "start" is also defined for backward compatibility
o changed all references from PopUp "start" to PopUp "0"
o renamed start menu "Start Menu" in the start/.include file, as a
demonstration
o moved warp ungrab from LeaveNotify to FocusOut, because the grab is
done on FocusIn; this seems to fix the mysterious repeating key bug
for me
o warp_in_process is now only set when AutoReverse == 2 to prevent any
possible bugs in AutoReverse 2 from affecting 0 & 1
1.7.0 patch 21 (allanon)
o removed XSetCloseDownMode from Pager; see comments in background.c;
using XSetCloseDownMode properly in AS would require writing a new
app or a major rewrite of old ones
o mode 129 now uses ParentRelative if the root pixmap cannot be found
(via the _XROOTPMAP_ID property), or uses the root pixmap if it can
be found
o changed afterstep man page to reflect new functionality of mode 129
o mode 129 can now be used with the window decoration styles
o the move/resize info window now uses the full styled text of the
focussed window style
o makeaspatch no longer always complains of an unchanged version number
1.7.0 patch 20 (nekked)
o Property changes in x_pager.c made permanent to avoid Eterm crashes
XSetClodeDownMode.
1.7.0 patch 19 (sasha)
o added ximage_utils to libasimage. It includes :
-custom CreateXImageBySample and CreateXImageAndData
to better create XImages without need to use XSubImage.
it will allocate XImage's data for you.
-XImage scaling functions ScaleXImageToSize and ScaleXImage
to scale up or down XImages.
as the result of this changes images gets loaded 10%.
o Optimized Pager's startup code to not resize it's contents only if
window size has changed.
o Pager will not change root background if Pixmap is already
there.
o Pager now checks contents of _XROOTPMAP_ID and changes it only
if it's not the same. That gets rid of unneccesary Eterm/aterm
refreshes.
o Added *PagerSetRootOnStartup option to Pager to make it show
root background on startup - before notification from AfterStep
about current desk. This is needed if aterm is started from autoexec
or even before AfterStep with transparent option.

o improvements and fixes to WinList balloons
o WinList geometry now fixed again (sasha)
o cleaned up my misc. garbage

window was used
1.7.0 patch 5 (allanon)
o added .include to the start/ dir
o added .include's to the start/Desktop/Feel/, Look/, and Pictures/
dirs; these include the ~/G/L/A feels/, looks/, backgrounds/, as well
as the /u/l/s/a ones
o removed sorting functions from lib/homeanddirs.c; they were only used
by afterstep, and needed to be changed for dirtrees anyway
o moved my_scandir from aslib to src/afterstep/myscandir.c
o added dirtree.c, containing functions to help with start menu melting
o moved struct config from misc.h to parse.h
o fixed bug which caused afterstep -f steprc to fail
o removed old start menu melt code from configure.c (woohoo!)
o streamlined match_string and match_string2 a little
o modified makeasclean to clean up after the .include files
o added "CONFIGURATION OPTIONS - .include" to afterstep.man
o NOTE: the Looks, Feels, and Pictures directories are no longer special;
this means that a user must add a .include to include them in the start
menu!! see the default .include's for an example
o added a more informative error in the case that start/, n-c/startmenu,
or fixed/ cannot be found during the start menu melt
o fixed a memory leak in lib/homeanddirs.c:HomeCreate()
1.7.0 patch 4 (nekked)

to grab!)
1.7.0 patch 3 (nekked)
o modified WinList to allow for gradients, background pixmaps, 3d text.
o added a new look option for afterstep, RubberBand, this allows for different
types of rubberbands when moving or resizing windows, currently there are 3
0 the old one (default), 1 single rectangle, 2 crossed-out single rectangle.
o modified one line in asimagelib, MyAllocColors() was using Scr.screen which
was changed to DefaultScreen(dpy) (the ScreenInfo struct is used by AS only,
there is no way I would use it in WinList).
o minor TEAM changes, added a line for module maintainers and myself to AS
team.
1.7.0 patch 2 (marius <marius@alpha1.net>)
o Wharf: rewrote man page entries for Rows, Columns, and Geometry, and
added an example of Geometry
o Form: changed sunsite to metalab in config file
1.7.0 patch 1 (allanon)
o rewrote LowerWindow() so that StaysOnBack now works
o windows with StaysOnBack now start lowered instead of raised
--
1.5beta6 patch 13 (allanon)
o Audio: fixed config parsing
o Audio: now properly ignores events for which no sound is defined
o Form: changed InputFont to "fixed"; Form assumes a fixed width font
o changed "horizontal%" to "pixels" in the description for EdgeResistance
in afterstep.man
1.5beta6 patch 12 (lathi)
o stupid me put the wrong switch in the ChangeLog. It should be
"--config" rather than "--configure". I changed it above.
o Also updated the usage() to reflect new "-c|--config" switch and Rwf's
"-v|--version" switch.
o Changed a typo in afterstep.c:main() from " -debug" to "--debug".
1.5beta6 patch 11 (mihm)
o changed configure.in (autoconf'd) to 1.6.0
o updated all man pages to read 1.6
o added new/revised afterstep.man
o added README.RedHat from "Shadow/Panther"
o added UPGRADE file
o got Shadow to update the tools/Uninstall-Old-AfterStep script to
use variables
1.5beta6 patch 10 (lathi)
o added new commandline switch for afterstep, "-c" or "--config". It
simply prints out the directories that afterstep was configured with: the
version, bindir, mandir, docdir, sharedir, gnustep dir, gnustep lib dir,
afterdir, and non-config dir.
o also updated makeastheme.pl to only warn when it can't find specified
images instead of die. (fixes nekked's weird problem)
1.5beta6 patch 9 (sasha)
o corrected Wharf balloon config handling
o corrected WinListGeometry handling
1.5beta6 patch 8 (mihm)
o corrected ScreenSaver switch (with vs without passwd)
o added a few msgs to install.script
o included Doug Alcorn's theme handler v0.3 in tools/
o included a better Uninstall-Old-AfterStep script in tools/; which
will NOT remove the old aspps that were shipped
o moved the Changelog to the base source dir - much more logical.
o reworded the README - new language README's will need to be redone.
1.5beta6 patch 7 (fuf)
o configure now pays attention to CFLAGS and LDFLAGS env. variables and
correctly substitutes the library paths for libpng and libjpeg
o added new option to configure script: --enable-script (yes by default)
o removed ending / from EXTRA_INCLUDES in Script Makefile.in in order for
Script to compile successfully on OpenBSD
- many thanks to Jason (jasoni@openbsd.org) who allowed me to test AS
installation on his OpenBSD machine
1.5beta6 patch 6 (tigr)
o changed test -e into test -f for Solaris in Makefile.common.in
1.5beta6 patch 5 (allanon)
o moved -lpng before -lz -lm in the linker flags; a library which depends
on other libs must come before the other libs or ld isn't happy :)
o VT_FIND_LIBJPEG looks for <jpeglib.h> instead of <X11/jpeglib.h>; this
prevents "-I/usr/include" from being added to CFLAGS unnecessarily
o VT_FIND_LIBPNG looks for <png.h> instead of <X11/png.h>; this prevents
"-I/usr/local/include" from being added to CFLAGS unecessarily
o check for XpmWriteFileFromPixmap in libXpm; define HAVE_XPM_WRITE in
configure.h if found
o Pager: only use XpmWriteFileFromPixmap if HAVE_XPM_WRITE is defined
1.5beta6 patch 4 (fuf)
o fixed the configure script so it finds jpeg and png libraries correctly
on freebsd
o replaced the relative path for the install-sh program with the absolute
one - this caused problems with installing modules and afterstep
o fixed routines for reading the configuration files in almost all
modules (Form and Script still must be done) - this fixed many memory
leaks
o various leaks fixed
o added testing for the man page for a module - the installation would
fail if the man page wasn't present
o removed the -s flag in doc/Makefile.in for INSTALL_PROG - this resulted
in failed installation
1.5beta6 patch3 (asullivan)
o yet another small change to the FAQ
1.5beta6 patch 2 (tigr)
o rearranged libraries and the search order for Xpm include files
for Sun Solaris in autoconf
o made the install.man install the man pages under prog.1x rather
than prog.man (Solaris does not understand prog.man)
1.5beta6 patch 1 (asullivan)
o replaced old FAQ with current version
--
1.5beta5 patch 22 (mihm)
o doc/html is installed now for sure, as well as afterstepdoc script!
o added asullivan's FAQ 1998-11-9
o adjusted configure.in for "make ; make install" simplification
o fixed some bad start/* program calls introduced in patch 20, which
use some fancy exec sh -c "exec asclock || exec xclock" :)

o added "Window Properties" to Windows entry of menu, and mentioned it
in database file.
o sync'd the (modified) look.DEFAULT with the n-c/*_looks.
o added a TODO.B4-1.5.0 file in <src-root> to be completed and rm'd
uon release of 1.5.0.
1.5beta5 patch 21 (sasha)
o added ViewportX & ViewportY styles - allowing to do flexible StartOnPage
stuff. It will move screen to the specifyed pos on desk, before placing
the window.
o minor fixing to style.c parsing code, to avoid memory leak in some error
conditions.
o some parsing code has been moved to usefull functions (ReadIntValue,
ReadColorValue and ReadFileName ).These functions placed in parce.c in
libafterstep and available for other modules for parsing purposes.
1.5beta5 patch 20 (mihm)
o removed/renamed various uneeded file from TODO
o various fixes and trimmings in the afterstep/ tree

o fixed make install not building/installing FAQ
o updated Teams file [who is this davemann character? :) ]
o updated the main README and corrected the various doc/languages/README.*s
o 'make install' now does it all list most normal apps (:
(make install == make install.bin ; make install.all ; make install.man)
1.5beta5 patch 19 (allanon)
o removed line with a solitary "with_gnustep_dir" from configure.in
o Wharf: now sets swallowed windows' border widths to 0
o added check for modified configure.in and unmodified configure to
makeaspatch

1.5beta5 patch 18 (sasha)
o Pager placement fixed ( finally :) )
1.5beta5 patch 17 (allanon)
o removed TextureTypes from look.Transparent; it was unnecessary, and
confused anyone trying to edit the look
o make install for aslib and asimagelib now only runs ldconfig on Linux
systems, and checks for the presence of the library dir in ld.so.conf
o make install for aslib and asimagelib now only builds and installs
the dynamic library if necessary
o changed the default from --disable-staticlibs to --enable-staticlibs;
too many people have trouble with compiling/installing/using dynamic
libs
o added --enable-gdb option; compiles AS with gdb debugging symbols;
default disabled
o added --enable-gprof option; compiles AS with gprof profiling symbols;
default disabled
o added note to doc/code/Optimizing mentioning --enable-gprof
o moved declaration of timer_first from timer.h to timer.c
o made internal balloon globals static
o rewrote balloon_delete() and timer_delete(); the previous method would
crash if the global list of objects was empty
o Wharf: DropExec commands are now allowed to omit either or both of %s
and %d
o removed getopt; it is non-portable
1.5beta5 patch 16 (sasha)
o TODO dir cleaned up
o All scripts are moved to tools dir
I'was not sure about some scripts in TODO dir, so they remained there
o afterstep dir cleaned up from config files, that gets generated by configure
o modified makeasclean to reflect listed changes, and also perform sources cleanup from
empty files and debug leftovers like "errors"
o configure options --with-gnustep-lib and --with-afterdir where changed so now
you need to supply patch within gnustep dir and within gnusteplib dir respectevely
( like --with-gnustep-lib=Library --with-afterdir=AfterStep )
o added copy of afterstep.html - without that as faq gets incompletely and
does not work :/
1.5beta5 patch 15 (sasha)
o better libPNG detection
1.5beta5 patch 14 (sasha)
o Added -lm to make flags, when building with PNG support.
o Fixed Pager code to let AfterStep wait for Pager to start completely.

1.5beta5 patch 13 (sasha)
o Added missing ldconfig after dynamic lib installation
o libafterstep and libWidgets now linked dynamicaly by default
o all libs copied to /usr/local/lib only when user runs make install
and not in compile time
o minor changes has been made to some modules, to make it compatible with
libafterstep ( MyName, dpy, screen, DeadPipe ), minor bugs in agrv handling
fixed on the way.
o added configure option to enable static library linking vs. dynamic.
1.5beta5 patch 12 (allanon)
o newlook only: improved menu mode 129; it now grabs the background
instead of not drawing it at all; when moved, it now unmaps, grabs
the background, and remaps
o newlook only: menu item background must now be set to 129 for menu
items to be transparent
o updated look.Transparent
1.5beta5 patch 11 (allanon)
o fixed bug in patch 9; !RandomPlacement works properly again

o added received patch for Pager (labels below desk, hiding inactive labels )
o fixed problem with Pager reported by Lathi

o asimagelib now is a dynamic lib
o code has been put in place to easyly move aftersteplib to be dynamic, if
that is desirable
o imaging libs ( JPEG, PNG, ZLIB, asimagelib ) now gets linked only when needed
1.5beta5 patch 9 (allanon)
o moved checks for xpm.h in /*/include/X11/ before /*/include/; since
AS uses X11/xpm.h unconditionally, we only want X11/ dirs anyway
o added more checking for invalid IconBoxes; IconBoxes are now limited
to the screen size, and the bottom/right must be below and to the
right of the top/left
o icons now have a default position, in case no IconBox is defined or
none are suitable: (0, 0)
o changed 0 to NULL when referencing a pointer; this isn't a bug on any
modern systems, but people using 20-year-old hardware will thank me! :)
o argv[0] is copied into malloc'd ram, just in case getopt does
something strange to argv
o fixed bug on restart; was calling execvp() with a null argument list
1.5beta5 patch 8 (allanon)
o removed BACKWARDS - it got in the way once too many times :)
o ASWindow.title_height is now the title window height (instead of the
title window height + the title window border width)
o removed NS_HANDLE_HEIGHT
o removed some redundant code from AddWindow()
o improved title text vertical centering
o improved title button vertical centering
o NoHandles + BorderWidth + TitleBar works much better now
o simplified RandomPlacement code slightly
1.5beta5 patch 7 (Rwf)
o removed all code relating to saving argv - not necessary
o rewrote restart segment of Done() for better execution
o getopt-ized afterstep's core, lots cleaner now :)
o more cleanups in autoconf/
o fixed a few pesky compile warnings
1.5beta5 patch 6 (sasha)

- fixed lots of unsafe stuff
- Pager now better handles Page/Desk switching with less load on X
- better handling of sticky icons
- many ninor improvements
o fixed patch03 related bug in afterstep, causing icons to disappear
when compiled with --enable-iconbackground=yes ( reported by Tigr )
o minor fix to Animate - to better handle situations, when requested
color cannot be allocated.
1.5beta5 patch 5 (allanon)
o added "make install" to install instructions in README
o added makeaspatch and makeasclean to doc/code/, and described how to
create a patch with them in doc/code/Patch
o changed version from 1.5beta4 to 1.5beta5
o added mystrdup and mystrndup to aslib; strdup() is not portable
o added InitBase() to take care of initializing vars from the base.#bpp
config file (IconPath, ModulePath, PixmapPath)
o added InitDatabase() to take care of initializing vars from the
database config file (Scr.TheList, Scr.DefaultIcon)
o added a kill_client argument to Destroy; if False, Destroy() only
calls RestoreWithdrawnLocation() instead of killing the client window
o improved memory allocation checker; countrealloc() works now :)
o removed safemalloc prototype from Clean, Ident, Pager, Save, Scroll,
Wharf, WinList, Zharf; included aftersteplib.h instead
o Wharf: debugging output is now off by default
o free display_string and rdisplay_string in main()
o Reborder is no longer recursive, and uses Destroy(,False) instead of
Reborder_unmap
o removed Reborder_unmap
o moved Reborder before ClosePipes (in Done()) to prevent spurious
allocations showing up when exiting AS
o added code to free a bunch of stuff just before exit, to prevent
spurious allocations showing up; this code is only compiled if
DEBUG_ALLOCS is defined
o added Stdfont, Windowfont, Iconfont to store the font names while
loading look; they are much easier to deallocate properly than
Scr.IconFont.name, etc
o fixed bug which caused several vars to be deallocated in InitLook only
if they were == NULL; this one was my fault :)
o changed instances of stuff like "Stdback = white" to "Stdback =
mystrdup(white)", so that vars like Stdback can be deallocated safely
o attempt to free global_base_file in MakeMenus() only if it is non-NULL
o changed several calls to KillModule to have unique "where"'s (second
parameter)
o delete menus properly in QuickRestart()
o AutoPlace() now pays attention to the SHADED flag
o no longer force client icon windows to 64x64 with !NO_ICONBACKGROUND
o SmartPlacement() now checks StubbornPlacement properly
o removed code that set the Stdfore and Stdback to the "*" style colors;
this did not work properly with the new QuickRestart() (required that
we always reload look when loading database)
o added RemoveFromList to take care of deleting a Style
1.5beta5 patch 4 (sasha)
o minor changes to asimagelib, Pager
o even better support for JPEG in afterstep - now buttons and icons can be
in JPEG format.
o minor fix to afterstep to prevent buffer overrun, while parsing buttons config string
1.5beta5 patch 3 (sasha)

o partly fixed reported bug about deiconifyed windows staying on wrong desk in
Pager
o numerous Pager fixes from fuf
1.5beta5 patch 01 (allanon)
o moved warp_ungrab() to HandleKeyPress()
o only forward keypresses (in HandleKeyPress()) if we weren't warping
o changed Animate draw function to GXxor from GXequiv; the animation
color is now the color specified by the user (instead of its
complement)
--
1.5beta4:

o balloon delay problem fix for pager thanks to allanon
o changed the order of libraries passed to the compiler so SCO and SGI

patch 10 (allanon)
o improved speed of mystr[n]casemp(); thanks to David Taylor!
o always try to set the icon font, even if no font is specified in the
look file
o icon title boxes (with NO_ICONBACKGROUND and !StickyIcons) now unmap
on desk change

Pager's window, when Pager is placed vertically.
o Pager now maps it's window right away, so you can watch it loading images,
and not just be sitting in darkness.
o minor JPEG loading code improvements
o Pager now will not display error message if you specify '*PagerFont none'.
patch 7 (sasha+Lathi)
o minor bugfix in Pager code for external image viewer args handling
o got rid of separate Pager_noxpm - everything merged in to Pager,
configure option --enable-pagerbackground=no will disable Pager's
background support
o Pager geometry -0-0 bug fixed
patch 6 (allanon)
o sort_by_numbers now takes precedence over all other sorts, including
sort_by_type and sort_by_date

o minor modification to startmenu
patch 3 (allanon)

o removed "# do nothing" lines from autoconf/Makefile.common.lib.in;
these lines reportedly caused problems with non-gnumake
o added some commentary about Wharf button sizing to README.new_options
o fixed trailing comment detection; we now assume that '#' followed by
three or more hex digits is a color; eg, #fff, #ffffff, #ffffffffffff
are all valid colors
o window border width > 1 no longer causes problems for the titlebutton
placing code; this doesn't matter a whole lot, as the border width is
always 1 when a titlebar exists
o update the window frame size when the titlebar height changes (via a
QuickRestart(look))
o removed built-in bevel on gradients
o fixed DrawMenuBorders 1 to draw the borders better
o fixed MacOS8 look some; we now use the right hilight color and
DrawMenuBorders 2
o set clipping mask when drawing menu hilites with DrawMenuBorders 2
and 3; only the hilited menu item's border is drawn with the hilited
item's hilite/shadow colors

patch 1 (Makoto Kato <m_kato@ga2.so-net.ne.jp>)
o added fontset support to balloons, Pager, Wharf, and Zharf
o new configure option "--enable-xlocale" added; this flag defines
X_LOCALE, which is needed for DBCS font support

afterstep/desktop/icons/common
o changed version to beta4, in preparation for release
o remade default startmenu
o menu mode 129 now works again
o menu shortcuts now execute their associated item, not just hilite it
o NOT IN THIS PATCH: ran make indent; the output is a couple megs, so
this was reserved for just before release
patch 18 (allanon)
o un-reversed configure option (different-looknfeels)
o fixed problem with quotes in checking for -g and -Wall
o menu items are now deselected properly when using keyboard
shortcuts
o fixed crash on exit
patch 17 (fuf)
o fixed --enable-menuwarp
o added compile time option --enable-fixeditems to enable merging user's
local menu directory with the one in @after_share@/fixed (it still
needs more work though).
patch 16 (mihm)
o updated all look & feels to newformat and new options
o added new look with associated pixs
patch 15 (allanon)
o ./configure is now non-interactive; run ./configure --help for help
patch 14 (allanon)
o rebind key/mousebindings on QuickRestart("feel")
o remove old titlebar buttons before adding new ones on
QuickRestart("look")
o added FocusChangeMask to window frames; this allows shaded windows to
properly get focus; removed FocusChangeMask from titlebuttons
patch 13 (allanon)
o fixed keyboard control of menus again; hopefully it will stay fixed
this time :)
o fixed BorderWidth keyword; the behavior is:
NoHandles, !BorderWidth : no lowbar, border is 0
!NoHandles, BorderWidth 5: ignore BorderWidth, border is 1
NoHandles, BorderWidth 5: no lowbar, border is 5
!NoHandles, !BorderWidth : border is 1
patch 12 (fuf)
o changed linking of the AS library that caused problems to some
compilers
o fixed bug when no titlebar buttons were defined and thus titlebars were
2 pixel high only
o when the font size or button height changes the titlebars are updated
accordingly
o moved the code for (un)stickying window to a standalone function
o added "#include <limits.h>" so AS can compile on *BSD cleanly
o changed errors in configure.c go to stderr instead of stdout
o .orig files in @share_dir@ are removed now when they were created by
patching and copied to the share dir.
patch 11 (mihm)
o added other terminal items to menu since xiterm is not pkg'd with
base src-tree
patch 10 (allanon)
o added dummy install, install.man, and uninstall make targets to
Makefile.common.lib; this may smooth installation using versions of
make which stop after an error
o fixed a problem with embedded double-quotes (") in configure; this
caused trouble on OSF/1
o added a new function, AutoPlaceStickyIcons(), to take care of re-
placing sticky icons; the icons were "dancing" because each icon was
replaced individually, and they were stepping on each others' toes :)
o added "#include <string.h>" in several places
o added "#include <time.h>" in several places
o changed close() to fclose() in Script.c
o removed memcpy() prototype from Tools.c

places; this removed some warnings when compiling on AIX
o updated doc/code/ChangeLog to include descriptions of some of my
older patches
patch 9 (Leddy)
o When alt-tabbing next key typed would echo 3 times to screen. Fixed
function call to properly route alt-tab, and XSendEvent will only echo when
it should.
patch 8 (allanon)
o shaded windows now get keyboard focus; this means AutoReverse 2 now
works properly with shaded windows; NOTE: keyboard events cannot be
sent to the (unmapped) client window, so they are sent to the window
frame (which ignores them)
patch 7 (fuf)
o OpaqueResize is not a flag anymore, one can specify the amount of
percents of screen the window "consumes", so when that number is
exceeded (before resizing) the window is drawn outlined when being resized
patch 6: <by Rob Foehl, rwf@loonybin.net>
o Removed Makefile.common and Makefile.common.lib from autoconf/
o Fixed problem with missing include tags in Makefile.common.lib , caused
files in lib/ to spit out missing header errors
o Added check for duplicate include paths to configure

patch 5 (allanon)
o added "make indent"; automatically indents all source in the lib/ and
src/ trees, and indents headers in include/
o --with-locale now sets the locale
o added new feel keyword MWMFunctionHints; if set, use defined Motif
window manager function hints (ie, allow/disallow move/resize/etc)
o added new feel keyword MWMDecorHints; if set, use defined Motif window
manager decoration hints (ie, show/hide titlebar/titlebuttons/etc)
o added new feel keyword MWMHintOverride; if set, allow a function to be
applied to a window even if the Motif function hints would normally
disallow that function
o Wharf: fixed OffiX drag-and-drop support; NOTE: OffiX d&d is
implemented via ClientMessage events, so a drop on a swallowed window
cannot be detected by Wharf
patch 4 (fuf):
o fixed reported problem with comments on the same line as other commands
patch 3 (allanon)
o got rid of compiler warnings on arguments to timer_delay_till_next_alarm
o titlebar buttons now depress properly when clicking on a transparent
part of the button

gcc 2.7.2.3
o use the CFLAGS determined by configure, without -g
o only add -Wall if the compiler is gcc
o added --with-locale; currently does nothing
o added --enable-shaping; enables or disables shaped window extension
o added --enable-jpeg; enables or disables libjpeg support
o --with-xpm now works
o changed the check for libXext; hopefully configure will find libXext
on more machines now
o fixed lots of bugs in NO_TEXTURE; it should now work
o fixed some bugs with !XPM; it works, but it's not pretty - we need
non-xpm titlebar buttons for it to be usable
o fixed a compile-time error with !SHAPE and NO_ICON_BACKGROUND; this
combination now works
o menus can now have titles anywhere in the menu, and can have mutiple
titles
patch 1 (fuf)
o added new look file options: 'TitleButtonSpacing' and
'TitleButtonStyle' and added the brief description of their
functionality to README.new_options
o titlebar buttons now can have different sizes (horizontal and/or vertical)
--

o configure: added @usedesktops_1@, which is @usedesktops@ - 1
o fixed share .in files to correctly take the above new configure args
o fixed autoconf having not been run on new autoconf/configure.in :)
--
1.5beta2:
patch 2 (allanon)
o added new make target, uninstall.all; removes binaries, man pages, and
the global afterstep share directory
o fixed a bunch of compiler warnings
patch 1 (mihm+allanon)
o configure: added zharf.in, for @usedesktops@
o configure: changed "number of additional desktops" to "number of
desktops", and the default from 3 to 4
o configure: fixed make instructions
o configure: added @usedesktops_1@, which is @usedesktops@ - 1
o fixed share .in files to correctly take the above new configure args
o fixed autoconf having not been run on new autoconf/configure.in :)
--
1.5beta1:
patch 5 (mihm)
o included audio files (they were previously 0 length files)
[! these are not in patch, as patch doesn't handle the binaries !]
o added README.new_options, brief explanation of some new features/options
o replaced autoconf/configure.in with a more cross platform friendly
version - supplied by Guylhem.
o combined KERNEL and SHARE - as suggested by Michal & Ethan.
patch 4 (kernel) (allanon):
o fixed install.script
o fixed faulty includes from Pager_noxpm
o put preprocessor guards around "TO BE DONE" in Script/Instructions.c

found, instead of crashing
patch 3 (kernel) (allanon):
o fixed a prototype/definition incompatibility with ParseColor
o fixed I18N support some more :)
o fixed bug in font initialization
o no longer always parse feel
o no longer parse look when melting startmenu; if you want to turn on/off
MenuMiniPixmaps: update look then update startmenu - or - update all
Guylhem AZNAR patch 1 & 2
o fixed AVAILABILITY CHECK
o fixed wharf animate
o fixed pager desks number
o fixed pager_noxpm

--
1.5pre9:
patch 14 (fuf)
o fixes for various memory leaks that occured when look or feel was
changed
patch 13 (allanon)
o Wharf: fixed bug with shaped wharf & non-shaped icons
patch 12 (allanon)
o StubbornIcons now works
o broadcast a window's desk change when it deiconifies to a different
desk than it was originally on
patch 11 (allanon)
o give NOICON_TITLE flag its own number; previously it shared numbers
with the SHADED flag
patch 10 (allanon)
o draw entire string in draw_styled_text(), instead of each character
individually; this fixes a bug introduced in 1.5p8 patch 0
patch 9 (allanon)
o only recalculate EdgeScroll when parsing feel
patch 8 (allanon)
o when using AutoReverse 2 (ie, patch 6), watch keypresses instead of
grabbing them; this prevents problems with apps like xterm which don't
like XSendEvent()
patch 7 (allanon)
o number of titlebar buttons is now based entirely on the look file
(and any NoButton keywords from database, of course)
o added init_titlebar_windows() and create_titlebar_windows(); these
two functions allow removing and re-creating the titlebar without
destroying and re-creating the entire frame
o added init_titlebutton_windows() and create_titlebutton_windows();
these two functions allow removing and re-creating the titlebar
buttons without destroying and re-creating the entire frame
o added button_sanity_check() to take care of adding/removing titlebar
buttons as necessary after a look is loaded
o Reborder()/Destroy()/CaptureAllWindows() are no longer used by
QuickRestart()
o Reborder() no longer deletes menus (this was incorrect behavior)
o added NO_BUTTON_STYLE, to distinguish buttons that have no look (and
thus should not be shown)
o Destroy() now prevents the UnmapNotify sent by XReparentWindow(); this
allows the Reborder()/Destroy()/CaptureAllWindows() trick to work
without junking all X events; we no longer use this trick, but it
might be useful later
patch 5 & 6 (fuf)
o fixed many things
patch 4 (allanon)
o on a button press in the titlebar, check if the press would have been
on a titlebar button, had the button not been shaped; if so, act as if
the titlebar button had been clicked
o when NO_WARPPOINTERTOMENU is off, always warp the pointer, not just
when the menu was clipped to the bottom of the screen
o swapped FocusedWindowStyle and UnfocusedWindowStyle
o swapped MenuItemStyle and MenuItemHiliteStyle
o put titlebar at bottom of window, lowbar at top of window
patch 3 (allanon)
o removed server grab when moving windows; client windows now update
during a move
patch 2 (allanon)
o removed stray printf's from previous patch
o WindowList menu is no longer transient (ie, it can be pinned); it is
updated when: a window is created, a window is destroyed, a window is
raised, a window is moved to another desk, desk is changed
--
1.5pre8:
patch 11c (MJ Farmer)
o fix free_window_list() in astile and ascascade
(Guylhem):
o fixed Autoreverse
o fixed menuminipixmaps by putting them in looks
o fixed startmenu analysis : before, startmenu was parsed 1st, now it's
parsed after look & before feels, so it's possible to have startmenu
options in look files -> added parselook to quickrestart (startmenu)
o replaced each Imakefile by GNU autoconf stuff
patch 11b (sasha)
This patch fixes a bug in Pager module, that appears when trying to
use non XPM files as root background. It also fixes minor memory leak
in the code that shows XPM file as root background.
It is also adding new functionality to Pager, enabling it to use separate
images for Pager desktop's window background and for root background
( for instance - large image as the root and scaled down version of the
same image in Pager.)
Use *PagerWallpaper instead of *PagerXPM setting in pager file to specify
separate image for the root image.
You must use this setting in order to use non XPM files in root, as far as
Pager will try to put this image as the desktop's window background
otherwise, and will give you an error as far as it is not yet capable of
using non XPM images as it's own background.
See also the man page for Pager.
patch 11a (guylhem)
o lots of stuff, only a brief listing follows
o changes to READMEs
o changes to looks, feels
o update to afterdoc
o added asapm from Alber Dorofeev
o by Ethan: a couple of fixes to previous patches (a stray line in
afterstep/icons.c, a fix for JPEGLIBARY)
Makoto Kato <m_kato@ga2.so-net.ne.jp>
o modified AfterStep-1.5 : current version supports
internationalization by official, but it don't support any modules
So these patchs support some modules, based on AfterStep 1.0 i18n patch
by Tomonori Manome <manome@itlb.te.noda.sut.ac.jp>
-Support "Pager" module
-Update "WinList" module
Mojibake-fix
-Limitted support "WinList" module
-Support "Form" module.
patch 15 (allanon)
o added BalloonDelay, which sets the delay in milliseconds till the
balloon pops up; available everywhere balloons are (wharf, zharf, pager)
patch 14 (allanon)
o fix bug with NEWLOOK: DrawOutline() was using GCs that had not been
created
patch 12 & 13 (allanon)
o fixed JPEGLIB compile option - it was in compilation.h, is now in
compilation.h.in
o moved balloon.c, GetColor(), load_font(), and unload_font() to aslib
o modified afterstep, wharf, zharf, and pager to use new aslib functions
o aspostit now uses screen number instead of Screen*, to allow it to
compile with new aslib functions
patch 11 (allanon)
o Wharf: rewrote Swallow parser, eliminated a possible segfault (which
could have ocurred if the Swallow line was malformed)
o Wharf: added MaxSwallowModule
patch 10 (allanon)
o Wharf: added bounds check to BalloonBorderWidth
o Wharf: BalloonYOffset works now
patch 9 (allanon)
(see 1.5p7 patch 10)

(see 1.5p7 patch 9)
patch 7 (allanon)
o added support for jpegs (via libjpeg) to buttons and textures in main AS
patch 6 (allanon)
o initialize MArrowPixmap on restart; changing from a look which defines
this to one which doesn't works now
patch 5 (allanon)
o fixed crash when raising an icon window (with NO_ICON_BACKGROUDN)
o IconTitle feel option works now (with NO_ICON_BACKGROUND)
patch 4 (allanon)
o Wharf: added balloons (tooltips) to each button; the balloons contain
the label of the button
patch 3 (allanon)
o when NO_WARPPOINTERTOMENU is off, always warp the pointer, not just
when the menu was clipped to the bottom of the screen
patch 2 (allanon)
o added initialization of completeIcon.mask to new_button(); this fixes
a crash under Accel-X due to XFreePixmap() of a random pixmap id
patch 1 (allanon)
o finished implementing AnimateSteps, AnimateStepsMain, AnimateDelay;
wasn't much left to do - guylhem already did most of it
o changed main wharf button ordering back to 1.5.55N6 style
patch 0 (allanon) (BACKWARDS!)
o NOTE: this patch is for amusement purposes only; I don't support any
features from this patch!!
o swapped FocusedWindowStyle and UnfocusedWindowStyle

1.5pre7:
patch 10 (allanon)
o allow pinned menus to remain in place when QuickRestart("feel")'ing
(patch 9 only worked for looks)
patch 9 (allanon)
o allow pinned menus to remain in place when QuickRestart()'ing
patch 8 (allanon)
o added check for parse_look before trying to use old-style keywords;
this only affected non-NEWLOOK (though was wrong for NEWLOOK as well)
patch 6 (allanon)
o set IconFont to Scr.IconFont in icons.c; NO_ICON_BACKGROUND works now
o centered icon pixmap in icon with NO_ICON_BACKGROUND on
o icon text is drawn with correct GC with NO_ICON_BACKGROUND on
o icons are placed in IconBoxes better (with NO_ICON_BACKGROUND on)
o changed icon drawing routines to ignore win->BackPixel and friends;
now use Scr.HiColors etc. directly
patch 5 (allanon)
o no longer try to free a mini-pixmap except when it is actually used;
this fixed a BadPixmap error
patch 4 (allanon)
o fixed loss of keybindings on restarting startmenu only (startmenu
would fail to appear)
o fixed crash due to feel file not being loaded (ie keybindings not
being updated) on restarting startmenu (startmenu crashed AS when it
appeared)
patch 3 (allanon)
o added InitLook() and InitFeel() to handle initializing (and
re-initializing) global look&feel variables
o no longer remove borders on restart unless changing feel
o no longer parse look file on restart unless look update requested
o no longer parse feel file on restart unless feel update requested
o no longer parse startmenu file on restart unless startmenu melt
requested
patch 2 (allanon)

patch 1 (allanon)
o NEWLOOK can now read old-style look files
Guylhem Aznar

icon in startmenu unless configure.h is edited)
* fixed some config paths
Ingo Brueckl
* fixed some config paths
--
1.5pre4:
Guylhem AZNAR
I *did* tell I have CHANGELOGs so never mind for pre1,2,3 (module work)
* fixed configure bugs (bpm replaced by man path)
* added LEX & YACC to configure.in for afscript
* fixed zombie afscript on exit
* made autodetection more complete, fixed @share_dir@ in afterstep/ files

Michal Vitecek (M.Vitecek@sh.cvut.cz)
o fixed few memory leaks and added forgotten&overlooked assigments
patch 13 (allanon)
o free sticky pixmap cache
patch 12 (allanon)
o fixed pixmap caching bug; with gradient mode 2 & 3, needed to ignore
pixmap cache when window is wider than display
patch 11 (allanon)
o fixed styles-related font bugs (changed Scr.StdFont and Scr.WindowFont
to appropriate style font)
patch 10 (allanon)
o Wharf: move wharf windows to account for missing border (see patch 8)
patch 9 (allanon)
o Wharf: only shape when needed, instead of always
patch 8 (allanon)
o NoHandles now removes window borders entirely, instead of leaving a
one pixel border
patch 7 (allanon)
o fixed title button redraw
patch 6 (allanon)
o Wharf: fix bad drawable bug WRT patch 5
patch 5 (allanon)
o Wharf: can now be shaped
patch 4 (allanon)
o Wharf: now allow buttons to have arbitrary sizes; note that they
will be resized to fit in the direction of the minor axis
o Wharf: removed Swallow, changed MaxSwallow to Swallow
o Wharf: added new MaxSwallow, which resizes the button to fit the
app being swallowed.
o Wharf: added Size keyword; should be followed by width and height
(ie, "Size 80 80"); will resize button to that size, ignoring all
other size determinations
o Wharf: two copies of the same app can now be swallowed;
WARNING: the button they will be swallowed by cannot be determined
in advance!
o Wharf: changed ordering of buttons; the last button on the wharf is
now the button farthest from the corner from which the wharf opened;
the last button in a subfolder is the button farthest from its
parent folder
patch 3 (allanon)
o added a new function, PasteSelection, which pastes the current X
cutbuffer to the focused window (if any)
patch 2 (allanon)
o added context to MenuRoot struct and made sure aw was set properly,
so that window menus would work
o removed debug stuff from menus.c
patch 1 (allanon)
o I18N font loading moved to load_font(); can we unload I18N fonts
with the old code?
o Scr.EntryHeight is no longer used (which is good, as the menus are
dynamically sized)
o Keyboard_shortcuts() now takes the distance to move using cursor
keys as a parameter; most calls now use 20 for this distance (with
the notable exception of the menu handler), was Scr.EntryHeight
--
1.5pre0:
Guylhem AZNAR <guylhem@oeil.qc.ca>
Well, I don't like keeping CHANGELOGs up to date :-), but :
* changed configure methods
* changed a bit Imakefile (look for radio ...)
* removed "bottomofpage" menu feature (down align menus when on botton) to
go with Ethan patches
* Applyied M. V. patch to fix memory leaks & make shade != sticky
* Applyied all previous E. F. patches
* Created a nice Zharf default configuration
* Updated TODO
* 2-days-fight against some coredumping feature
--
patch 7:
by Ethan Fischer <allanon@u.washington.edu>
o added mini-pixmaps to menus; to use, place a second line in the
menu item file containing "MiniPixmap pixmap.xpm"; this pixmap may
have a mask
o MenuArrow may now have a mask
patch 6 (1.4.5.55N6) (5/25/98):
by Ethan Fischer <allanon@u.washington.edu>
o reworked menu event handling completely again; these rules should
now be followed:
o on button release in title, menu becomes pinned to the desktop
o on button press in title of pinned menu, menu can be moved; if
the menu is _not_ moved, the menu is closed
o keyboard control works again
o pinned menus are always on top (above ONTOP windows)
o Wharf: duplicate entries are removed before pixmaps are parsed;
this allows pixmaps to be specified on any of a button's lines
o added (#ifdef guarded) mem allocation watcher; if on, displays
memory alloced but not freed when afterstep quits; requires use
of safemalloc
o oops, changed a calloc in add_window that caused the top window
to be unmapped sometimes; changed it back; there shouldn't be
any other such bugs, as all other allocs were malloc, and malloc
and safemalloc are interchangeable
patch 5:
by Ethan Fischer <allanon@u.washington.edu>
o added MenuRoot.is_pinned; when True, the menu should be pinned to
the desktop
o removed MenuMode; instead, the mode is MWAIT if the menu is not
pinned; else the mode is (approximately) MCLICK
o menus become pinned when the mouse button is released in the title,
and the menu is not transient
o menus become unpinned on a buttonpress
patch 4.5:
by Ethan Fischer <allanon@u.washington.edu>
o first_menu added to Scr
o MenuRoot.next is now set, and used
o added MenuRoot.is_transient; when True, the menu will be unable to
transfer to MCLICK; also will be deleted on ButtonRelease
o WindowList menu is transient
o added DeleteMenuRoot()
o menus no longer use their own event loop; instead, events in menus
are sent to the menu from DispatchEvent(); this allows sticky menus
in MCLICK mode
o made lots of other small changes to menus.c
o keyboard control of menus is broken
patch 4 (afwharf 1.4.5.55N3):
by Ethan Fischer <allanon@u.washington.edu>
o Wharf: fixed bug introduced in the last patch; the main wharf window
now positions correctly (oops!)
o Wharf: now ignores empty folders in config (instead of crashing with
a BadWindow)
o Wharf: now ignores an attempt to close the root folder in config
(instead of segfaulting)
o Wharf: now closes down properly, so swallowed apps in subfolders get
sent a delete message
o Wharf: only grabs button 1 from swallowed apps if the button is a
folder
o Wharf: only grabs button 3 from swallowed apps if the button is in
the root folder
o Wharf: only withdraws if button 3 is pressed in the root folder
(instead of any folder)
o Wharf: reparents swallowed windows to IconWin, so buttons with a
swallowed app can use the full push animation
o Wharf: fixed bug in transfer to withdrawn state; the pointer coords
are now translated to the root_folder window (not the Root window);
should withdraw to the right corner now
patch 3 (afwharf 1.4.5.55N2):
by Ethan Fischer <allanon@u.washington.edu>
o menu title & item text is drawn in the correct font (WindowFont, Font)
o Wharf: now uses XGetGeometry on maxswallowed windows instead of assuming
that they will be 55x57
o Wharf: now only grabs buttons 1 & 3 from swallowed apps, instead of all
buttons
o Wharf: removed the Buttons and Folders arrays, and replaced them with
linked lists
o Wharf: can swallow to a button inside a folder
o Wharf: folders can have subfolders. this is done the obvious way; just
nest the Folder/~Folder statements
o Wharf: added MapNotify handler to make sure that folders are unmapped
when they are supposed to be
patch 2 (1.4.5.55N) (5/13/98):
by Ethan Fischer <allanon@u.washington.edu>
o previous patch to DrawMenuBorders is backed out
o when the option "DrawMenuBorders" is off, the menu no longer has any
border, filling the empty spaces that were still there
o added a new option, "TextureMenuItemsIndividually". scary name, but
cool feature: when it is off, the entire menu will be textured, not
each menu item individually. this was done by DrawMenuBorders == 0
previously, but that was non-obvious - hence the new keyword
o some variables that were not being initialized on restart now are. in
particular: Textures.flags, DrawMenuBorders,
TextureMenuItemsIndividually, DrawTitleTextBackground, Xzap, Yzap,
AutoReverse
o added new keywords to allow better control over menu colors; this
required adding another option to TextureTypes and TextureMaxColors
MTitleForeColor: menu title foreground color (was HiForeColor)
MTitleBackColor: menu title background color (was HiBackColor)
MenuHiForeColor: selected item foreground color (was MenuForeColor)
MenuHiBackColor: selected item background color (was HiForeColor)
MenuHiTextureColor: selected item background gradient (was
MenuTextureColor)
MenuHiPixmap: selected item background pixmap (was MenuPixmap)
o added my_sort to homeanddirs.c. to use, setup the null-terminated array
my_sort_list, which will be evaluated in descending order
o added my_dirsort, which sorts by type
o added comment to NewCheckOrShare, changed sizeof(char*) to sizeof(char),
and changed malloc to safemalloc
o check_allowed_function now returns False on F_NOP; this results in F_NOP
items being stippled; since they can't do anything anyway, this is
probably okay
o F_NOP is put in the menu, even if its item text has zero length. this
allows the next feature:
o a separator is drawn in menus if the function is F_NOP, the item
text has zero length, and DrawMenuBorders is 0 (it looks pretty bad if
DrawMenuBorders is 1)
o general overhaul to PaintEntry; menus now look like they should WRT
DrawMenuBorders and TextureMenuItemsIndividually
o made local variable in CheckOrShare static, so that it can be safely
returned
o removed redundant UpdateStartMenu keyword. this functionality is also
available by "QuickRestart startmenu". look&feel should probably be
updated this way as well
o modified Quit menu to remove quotes which were preventing several menu
items from working
patch 1:
by Ethan Fischer <allanon@u.washington.edu>
o NewCheckOrShare added. it returns just the path, not the path + directory
o SearchIcon defaults to tmp_win->icon_bitmap_file, so default icons work
o UpdateMenu remembers Tmp_win, so menus don't forget that the "Quit"
option should be stippled
o stippled menu items can no longer be selected
o MeltStartMenu changed significantly:
o all submenus are given a unique ID, so they cannot be confused (eg,
two copies of the "Games" submenu)
o if the first word of a file is a reserved word (eg, "Restart"), the
file contents are passed through unmodified. the contents of such
a file *must* be a complete, valid line for the config file, or
AfterStep will exit with an error
o the "Start" menu is treated just like its subdirectories, except for
the name (which is not given an ID)
o the hardcoded "Desktop", "Modules", and "Quit" menus are removed
o the "Look", "Feel", and "Pictures" submenus are still hardcoded,
however. to place them in the menu, just make an empty subdir with
the appropriate name, and it will automagically be filled in
o menus now scroll
patch 0:
by Ethan Fischer <allanon@u.washington.edu>
o when the option "DrawMenuBorders" is off, the entire menu will be
textured
