(Xfce 4.5.x): ----------------------- +Xfce 4.6beta1 (Xfce 4.5.91): +---------------------------- - I'm going to attempt to keep a log of features added and major bugs - fixed as we go through the 4.5 development cycle. I'm not entirely - optimistic in my ability to actually do this, but I'm gonna do my - best. - - * Redo how the menu system works so menus can be embedded in other - menus. This makes it possible for the right-click context menu - to be the 'normal' applications menu when icons are disabled, - but set to the desktop's own context menu when file icons are - enabled. In this latter case, the applications menu becomes a - submenu of the desktop context menu (bug 2531). - * Ditch my custom semi-fd.o-compliant menu system in favor of - XfceMenu, our new fd.o-compliant menu implementation written by - Jannis Pohlmann. - * Fix URI parsing in .desktop files when launching an application so - that the "field codes" (%-codes) are either properly ignored or - are substituted properly. This should fix a lot of problems where - some apps were expecting some command-line arguments but the menu - was just throwing them all away (bug 2942). - * Add support for 'zoomed' backdrop mode: fill the screen with the - backdrop edge-to-edge by scaling and/or cropping as necessary. - This doesn't mess with the aspect ratio and is pretty nifty. Patch - is from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (bug 3138). - * Stop using our forked libnetk from libxfcegui4, and use the much - better supported original libwnck. Patch is from Nick Schermer - (bug 3487). - * Support the GdkScreen::monitors-changed signal present in gtk+ 2.13 - and above. This allows xfdesktop to notice if the user plugs or - unplugs a monitor when using an xrandr1.2-capable X server and video - driver. - * Support the new tooltips framework present in gtk 2.12 for - XfdesktopIconView. This is mostly user-invisible, but does decrease - code size and memory usage ever so slightly, and removes a possible - source of bugs. + * Bring back the "show icons in menu" preferences for the desktop + menu and window list menu. +Xfce 4.6alpha (Xfce 4.5.90): +---------------------------- + + * Redo how the menu system works so menus can be embedded in other + menus.

Requires ARGB windows (bug 4061). + * Fix font size used to draw desktop icons when the size isn't an + integer point size (bug 4295). + + 4.4.2 ===== _______________________________________________ Xfce4-commits mailing list Xfce4-commits@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce4-commits
