Hi all, the second (and last) beta for Sawfish 1.10 is available now!
Download: http://download.tuxfamily.org/sawfish/ NEWS: 1.9.91 "Steam Train" ==================== * Updated or New dependencies - PangoX: no longer required * Bug Fixes - Always rebuild the list of marked winows in tabs when closing a marked window. [fuchur] - In 'sawfish-config' fix the 'make-choice-item' to properly support settings for the 'Crux' theme. [Vedat Hallac] - Only allow a window to be tabbed, if the parent window's framestyle has support for tabs. (Note that in Sawfish different windows can have diffrent framestyles) [fuchur] - 'window-ops-menu' was still calling 'resize-window-to-dimension' that didn't exist anymore since Sawfish 1.7. Use 'resize-window-prompt' instead. [Christopher Bratusek] - Make "Sawfish Rootmenu" label an insensitive menu-item, so that clicking it while the root-menu pops-up doesn't make the menu dissapear immediately. [Christopher Bratusek] - In SawfishConfig you can select different cursor shapes for different buttons. Some of the definitions have been wrong and could crash Sawfish when choosing them. This is fixed now. [fuchur] - When a windows 'max-width' or 'max-height' would exceed 32767 (X11's maximum) it would result in odd window-behaviour (for example: no maximization button), this is fixed by capping the value at 32767. Originally reported with Firefox and Thunderbird 17.0 [Michael Panteleit] - Fixed grabbing key-bindings in SawfishConfig. [Christopher Bratusek] - Fixed non-working '$height-content' and '$width-content' in the mxflat theme [Robert Zenz] * New Features - Tiling. [Jose A. Ortega Ruiz] [Christopher Bratusek] Currently this module is under testing. There are still minor hickups, but both 'tall-tile' and 'col-tile' are working (see also 'lisp/sawfish/wm/tile/readme.org'): 'tall-tile': one big window on the left, small windows on the right 'col-tile': tile windows as columns (recommended for multi-head configurations) ;; Tiling (require 'sawfish.wm.tile.tile) (tall-tiling 0 #:width 1.75 #:top 0 #:bottom 0 #:gap 3 #:max 3 #:right nil #:resize t) (col-tiling 0 #:top 0 #:bottom 0 #:gap 3 #:cols 3 #:resize t) (bind-keys global-keymap "C-S-KP_Add" 'increase-max-windows "C-S-KP_Subtract" 'decrease-max-windows "C-M-KP_Add" 'increase-cols "C-M-KP_Subtract" 'decrease-cols "C-M-Right" 'tall-rotate-right "C-M-Left" 'tall-rotate-left "C-F11" 'next-tiling) - Completeley revised 'resize-window-prompt'. Now display window's name and old width (respectively old height) when prompt for new values. Shows an information, if one of the given values is not actually a number. [Christopher Bratusek] - External Application modules. Those modules allow handling, setting-up external application during a sawfish session. See 'AUTOSTART' for additional notes on them. ++ 'trayer' module. Handles a 'trayer' (a system-tray) instance during a sawfish session. [Christopher Bratusek] ++ 'xmobar' module. Handles a 'xmobar' (an on-screen, very flexible bar, monitoring whatever you like) instance during a sawfish session. [Christopher Bratusek] ++ 'xmodmap' module. Allows reading '~/.Xmodmap' on startup of Sawfish. [Christopher Bratusek] ++ 'xsettingsd' module. Handles a 'xsettingsd' (a daemon implementing XSettings to provide GTK+ application with information like what theme to use))instance during a sawfish session. [Christopher Bratusek] ++ 'xgamma' module. Allows changing display's gamma settings on startup of Sawfish. [Christopher Bratusek] ++ 'fehlstart' module. Handles a 'fehlstart' (a simple, but yet flexible application launcher) instance during a sawfish session. [Christopher Bratusek] ++ 'pancake' module. Handles a 'pancake' (a simple desktop panel with pager, window-list, taskbar, tray) instance during a sawfish session [Christopher Bratusek] * Removed Features - Removed 'sawfish.wm.ext.expose' in favour of much more advanced tiling-functions. [Christopher Bratusek] * Miscellaneous Changes - Updated 'Elberg-tabbed' and 'gradient-tabbed' for tab-system as of Sawfish 1.9.1 [fuchur] - Wallpaper setter now has an option for setting wallpaper on startup. Image widget is now more robust. [Christopher Bratusek] - Improved default keymap for 'titlebar' and 'tabbar'. [fuchur] - Revived 'decorate-transients', 'menus-include-shortcuts' and 'customize-show-symbols' defcustoms. These options are now adjustable from 'sawfish-config' again. [Christopher Bratusek] - Give the 'root-window' the property ''WINDOW_MANAGER' on startup with value 'sawfish'. [Christopher Bratusek] - Updated 'ru' and 'pt_BR' translations via transifex. -- Sawfish ML
