Hi all, I'm announcing first real release of NsCDE (1.1) after 2 years!
It can be fetched from here: https://github.com/NsCDE/NsCDE/releases/download/1.1/NsCDE-1.1.tar.gz FAQ: https://github.com/NsCDE/NsCDE/wiki/NsCDE---Frequently-Asked-Questions-(FAQ) NsCDE 1.1 release notes ======================= This is the first "real" release, after 2 years of development. Release focuses on this major points: - Better wallpaper handling in Backdrop Style Manager - FVWM3 used by default when found (if not overriden by explicit environment) - Keybindings has been further logically reorganized - Manual Tiling support with Meta+Alt+R - Documentation update - Portability: NetBSD, OpenIndiana, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD 1. New features - Wallpapers can now be centered, tiled or aspect-stretched in the Backdrop Style Manager - Windows of the current page can be tiled with Meta+Alt+R, and resized in semi-automatic zoom in and zoom out mode with Meta+F4 and Shift+Meta+F4 - NsCDE has been tested, tuned and fixed to run on NetBSD, OpenIndiana, OpenBSD, and DragonFly BSD. With Linux and FreeBSD support, this covers pretty much all of active free, open and semi-free UNIX and Linux systems - Key bindings are ordered to use Meta, Alt, Meta+Alt, Menu, Escape and Tab in conditions where appropriate, hintful and logical. For example, Menu key based keybindings are for actions about menus. Window movement iconification, size, closing, repositioning actions are bounded to F buttons with similar actions on the same F button, but with Alt or Meta as the modifier 2. Bug fixes - See ChangeLog or "git log" for detailed working list of fixes. Generally most of the fixes are working same-day fixes, but there was some old findings. 3. Removed / discontinued - NsCDE-photos git repo is discontinued and will be removed in the future. With NsCDE there are now coming four file size optimized PNG examples. All other wallpapers, if wanted instead of backdrops, should be provided by the user in $FVWM_USERDIR/photos manually, or imported with "Add ..." button from Backdrop Style Manager 4. Misc - Two years ago, NsCDE has started as consolidation of chaotic private set of fvwm configurations and scripts. Spontaneously, this emerged as something which can be shared by others, and in march of 2019 uploaded as project on GitHub. Since then, lot of features and fixes appeared and active development has beed made on betas, and then long never ending row of release candindates up to rc28. This is now the first release. Since most of the release candidates were really 1.0 already. The first real release will take version 1.1. After it, 1.2 will emerge and so on ...
