ChangeLog from Blackbox (this code's previous project):
Changes from 0.62.1 to 0.65.0:
+ - added Taiwan Chinese (zh_TW), Hungarian (hu_HU), Korean (ko_KR),
+ Norwegian (no_NO), Polish (pl_PL), Romanian (ro_RO) and Ukrainian (uk_UA)
+ nls files and updated most of the others.
+ - added French man pages
+ - remove slit and netwm as compile time options
+ - strip much of BaseDisplay's original functionality and move it to the
+ blackbox class.
+ - huge amounts of internal cleanups
+ - added emacs local variables to each file that prevent the addition of tabs
+ - added a Util.cc file which contains useful functions with no obvious home.
+ - removed several unused variables and otherwise reduced the memory usage
+ of the objects in Blackbox. For the record we are about 100k larger than
+ 0.62.0 and that is mostly due to the STL. However for the most part
+ blackbox runs faster and is still one of the leanest window managers out
+ there today.
+ - move code over to the STL
- bsetroot now sets _XROOTPMAP_ID, so pseudo transparent apps will be happy
- beginnings of a strut implementation. toolbar and slit are removed from
the available screen area if 'full maximize' is not set
case in the Blackbox class's process_event function.
- no more blackbox->grab/ungrab calls everywhere
- compression of motion and expose
- - added a Util.cc file which contains useful functions with no obvious home.
- Now we have one function which turns ~/ into /home/user/. This is now
called everywhere this expansion should be done. Even added this to the
resource.menu_file so now the menu file may be specified as
TimerQueueManager protocol class which BaseDisplay now inherits from.
- BTimer now defaults to NOT recurring. Most of the timers in blackbox were
one shots so I saw little benefit in defaulting to repeating timers.
- - added emacs local variables that prevent the addition of tabs to each file
- update transient handling, should solve issues with apps like acroread.
added a getTransientInfo() method of the BlackboxWindow class which
handles checking the transient state in X and setting the appropriate
variables on the window. To further attack the infinite loops this
- function ensures that client.transient != this.
- The new transient code also allows for one window to have multiple
- transients so applications like xmms and web browsers are better behaved.

- Norwegian (no_NO), Romanian (ro_RO) and Ukrainian (uk_UA) nls files and

- - added French man pages

- - strip much of BaseDisplay's original functionality and move it to the

- - move code over to the STL
- - new placeWindow algorithm. Blows the old one out of the water. Not only
- is it faster but it is also cleaner code too (-: Went from number 5 in
- the profiling to results to under 30. Managing of new windows is slowed
- down by image rendering above all else now.
- Because of the new code layout, the support is now there for new and
- different layout options, but this will wait for after 0.65.0.
- - better window group handling
- - huge amounts of internal cleanups
+ function ensures that client.transient != this. We also check for loops
+ of the forms A -> B -> C -> A. The new transient code also allows for one
+ window to have multiple transients so applications like xmms and web
+ browsers are better behaved.
- even better ICCCM support and focus handling
- wmswallow works
- fix for clock clipping in the toolbar
- better support for non decorated windows and toggling decor
- the geometry window shown when moving or resizing a window now handles the
- parentrelative setting better
+ parentrelative setting better. parentrelative support has been improved
+ for all of the other widgets as well.
+ - better window group handling
- improved edge snap support (still no window to window snapping)
- changing preferences no longer leads to windows being raised
- - the window's send to menu disables the current workspace, which is a
+ - the window's "send to" menu ignores the current workspace, which is a
better UI approach

+ - new placeWindow algorithm. Blows the old one out of the water. Not only

+ part of managing of new windows.
+ Because of the new code layout, support is now there for new and
+ different layout options but this will wait for after 0.65.0.
- smart window placement ignores shaded windows now
- new option in the Config menu which allows Scroll Lock to disable
Blackbox's keybindings.
- - first the resurrection of the code and now the return of Brad! Blackbox
- is only getting better with age.
Changes from 0.62.0 to 0.62.1:
- the lock modifier code handles user redefined modifiers better
