- update to 4.1.0:
Backward-Incompatible Changes And Removed Features
* Support for VirtualScreens has been removed. This was an
early attempt to allow some manual configuration of multiple
monitors, but carried with it a lot of caveats and strange
behaviors. The current automatic RANDR and manual
MonitorLayout features are a replacement for anywhere this ever really worked.
* ctwm’s captive mode support has been removed. This includes
the --window and --name command line arguments, and the f.
adoptwindow and f.hypermove functions. Be sure to remove any
references to those functions from your config file.
* Support for WindowBox has been removed, along with the
f.fittocontent function related to it.
* The minimum cmake version has been bumped to 3.6. This is
available in standard packages back to CentOS 6, and we
appear to have actually been using syntax requiring 3.5 for a
while unknowingly anyway.
New Features
* Support for understanding multi-monitor layouts as something
other than a single giant rectangle added. The RANDR X
extension is used for determining how your monitors are laid
out. The various f.\*zoom functions now zoom on the monitor
the window is currently on, and new f.x\*zoom functions are
added to zoom across your entire display. Various internal
geometries can be specified RANDR-output-relative; see doc of
e.g. IconManagers.
* Added MonitorLayout {} config var for overriding the layout
of multiple monitors. In normal cases with multiple monitors
and a modern X server, this is unnecessary. It’s useful if
the X server doesn’t support RANDR (e.g., older servers), or
if the info it provides is wrong (e.g., multi-display
simulation with Xephyr), or if you just prefer to specify
things differently than they would otherwise be (e.g., treat
an ultra-wide display as 2 separate monitors).
* The EWMH _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS property is now set on windows
when we take control of them. This should fix clients
mispositioning other windows on top of themselves; visible
with Firefox’s form autofilling and context menus.
Bugfixes
* When restarting ctwm, the icon managers for the current
workspace will now initially show up, rather than those for first WS.
* When restarting ctwm, the stacking order of windows is now preserved.
* Running --cfgchk without an available X server will now work.
Some errors may only be discovered when it can talk to X (
things relating to colors are a likely suspect). Checking
configs for multi-Screen setups will now properly check all
of them as well.
* Fix display of combined modifiers in TwmKeys menu.
* Fix window icon name spilling out into the border of icon manager entries.
* Fix minor mis-sizing and postitioning of squeezed titlebar when window is squeezed away.
* Fix window placement when DontMoveOff is enabled without 3D borders.
* When window titles overflow the available space, always treat
them as left-justified, to avoid bad behavior of other
justifications and provide the best available behavior.

- Update to version 4.0.3
+ Bugfixes
* Perform various manipulations and overrides of WM_HINTS property
when it gets reset during runtime, like we do when initially adopting
the window. The most visible effect of this was in windows that don’t
give a focus hint (which we override to give focus), but then reset
WM_HINTS later and still don’t give us a hint, where we wound up not
re-overriding previously. Reported for xvile by Wayne Cuddy.
* The font height estimation changes in 4.0.0 were not applied correctly
when UseThreeDMenus was set, leading to some odd vertical misalignment
of the text with some fonts. Reported by Wayne Cuddy.
* A failure in OTP consistency checks caused by the handling of transients
of fullscreen windows has been fixed. This manifested as failures in
OtpCheckConsistencyVS() assertions.
- from version 4.0.2
+ Backward-Incompatible Changes And Removed Features
* The UseThreeDIconBorders config var has been removed. It came in
silently and undocumented in 3.4 and has never done anything.
* The attempts to use DNS lookups for setting the HOSTNAME m4 variable
have been removed; it is now just a duplicate of CLIENTHOST.
+ New Features
* The EWMH _NET_WM_NAME property is now supported, and used for the window
name in place of the ICCCM WM_NAME when set. By default, we also accept
UTF8_STRING encoded WM_NAME as a result of this change; see below for
var to restore historical strictness.
* The EWMH _NET_WM_ICON_NAME property is now supported, and used for the
icon name in place of the ICCCM WM_ICON_NAME when set. Similar comments
as above apply to the encodings.
* Support has been added for CTWM_WM_NAME and CTWM_WM_ICON_NAME properties,
which will override any window/icon names otherwise specified. This may be
useful for applications that set unhelpful names themselves, or for manually
adjusting labelling. These properties can be set from the command line via
xprop; as an example, xprop -f CTWM_WM_NAME 8u -set CTWM_WM_NAME "awesome
windowsauce". See xprop(1) manual for details; the s, t, and u field type
specifiers will all work.
* When no icon name is set for a window, we’ve always used the window name
for the icon name as well. But that only happened the first time the window
name is set; after that, the icon name is stuck at the first name. It now
updates along with the window name, if no icon name is set.
* All icon manager windows will now have the TwmIconManager class set on them,
so they can be addressed en mass by other config like NoTitle by that class
name.
+ New Config Options
* Added DontNameDecorations config option to disable setting names on the X
windows we create for window decoration (added in 4.0.0). These have been
reported to confuse xwit, and might do the same for other tools that don’t
expect to find them on non-end-app windows. Reported by Frank Steiner.
* Added StrictWinNameEncoding config option to enable historical behavior,
where we’re reject invalid property encoding for window naming properties
(like a UTF8_STRING encoded WM_NAME).
+ Bugfixes
* Fix up broken parsing of IconifyStyle "sweep". Bug was introduced in 4.0.0.
* When multiple X Screens are used, building the temporary file for m4
definitions could fail with an error from mkstemp(). Reported by Manfred Knick.
* When multiple X Screens are used, the OTP code didn’t recognize the difference,
and kept everything in one list. This caused the internal consistency checks
to trip when it didn’t find all the windows it expected. Reported by Terran
Melconian.
* When ReverseCurrentWorkspace is set, mapping windows not on the current
workspace (e.g., via restarting ctwm, or creating new windows with the desktop
set via EWMH properties) could segfault. Reported by Sean McAllister.
* Fix some edge cases where we’d fight other apps' focus handling. When an
application moved focus itself to an unrelated (in X terms) window, our
processing would often race and re-move the focus to the root ourselves. This
was visible with e.g. sub-windows in Firefox for context menu and urlbar
dropdown, which would flash on and then disappear.
* When creating a new transient window of an existing full-screen window, the
OTP stacking may cause it to be stuck below the main window due to the special
handling of full-screen focused windows in EWMH. It should now be forced to
the top.
* Building ctwm since 4.0.0 in certain locales could misorder functions in the
lookup table, leading to troubles parsing the config file. You’d get some loud
“INTERNAL ERROR” lines from ctwm when running it if this were the case. Now
fixed. Reported by Richard Levitte.
