-- ChangeLog for Blackbox 0.70.x
Changes from 0.65.x to 0.70.0:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a major update resulting from a long development cycle... the
list below is a general list and does not cover all changes in detail.
- introduced a utility library (libbt) for aiding in writing
small blackbox oriented applications
- all menus are now proper popup menus, with keyboard navigation
- complete EWMH support
- Xft support has been added to support anti-aliased fonts
- support for texture borders has been added... any texture can now
have a border of arbitrary width and color
- ~/.blackboxrc is no longer written on exit or restart. Instead it
is written whenever a change is made. This means the rc can be
edited while Blackbox is running (finally).
- support for always-on-top and always-on-bottom has been added
- support for fullscreen windows has been added
- support for all EWMH window types has been added (e.g. desktop
windows, dock windows, dialogs, etc.)
- support for window groups has been added
- support for transient windows has been improved
- it is now possible to completely disable the toolbar
- when the toolbar and slit are no longer in use, they are
destroyed... they will be recreated when needed
- the style file format has changed. a new utility, bstyleconvert,
can be used to convert older 0.65.0 styles to the 0.70.0 format
- the format of ~/.blackboxrc has changed. Blackbox will
automatically convert to the new format.
- both the look and feel have been updated, feedback is encouraged
-- RELNOTES for Blackbox 0.70.0 Release Canditate ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the Blackbox release candidate. Things are working very well, and it's time for a release. However, before making the release, we want to make sure that it really is ready for release, hence the name "release candidate". Contact ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The mailing list and the SourceForge trackers are the primary contact points. See http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/ for more information on how to contact us, report bugs, help out, etc. Known Issues ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tear-Off Menus Support for torn-off menus has not yet been added. Originally, the release was going to be delayed while waiting for this feature, but due to lack of time, 0.70.0 will be released without them. We expect to re-add this feature at a later date. Man Pages The manual pages included in the package are out of date. They are for 0.65.0 or earlier releases. Internationalization Blackbox 0.70.0 will not be internationalized, and as such cannot be translated or localized. This is very unfortunate, but lack of time and resources prevents us from finishing it. Re-adding support for translations will be done in a later release.
