LessTif 0.93.96 is out !
This test release - a release candidate for a major release - contains
these changes :
- Cleanup of the configure.in to remove some dead code and add a couple
of comments.
- Remove support for building Motif-1.2 and 2.0 compatible versions.
From now on, only 2.1 is supported.
Support for multiple versions hasn't had added value for years, and it
kept
confusing users.
- Also remove support for building a Motif-2.0 compatible version.
- Work on the clipboard code to make it work with xclipboard.
Nedit and DDD users were reporting problems.
- Bugfix for drag and drop code.
- Get XmText to use the character width estimations described in the
documentation.
- A fix to the CascadeButton widget and gadget code for 64-bit systems.
Lesson learned : using the wrong type can create havoc even on
dummy variables.
- XmClipboardBeginCopy() wasn't present in a 2.1 build. Fix that for
compatibility reasons.
- Changes to autoconf macros to conform to autoconf 2.59's new
requirements.
- Remove reference to <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>, they're no longer
needed.
- Prevent a crash in Form when no widget is passed but XmATTACH_WIDGET
is specified.
- Fix from Herbert Xu to fix a long outstanding bug with nedit modality.
(See patch #936869.)
- Fixes by Dave Williss to get XmString to cope with Unicode
in a limited way.
- Fixes by Dave Williss for the (Microsoft) Windows platform.
One of the consequences is that the macro XMLIBEXPORT is used in
many places.
On the Windows platform, we configure the build so this means
something to the compiler;
on others it is blank.
- Fix by Dave Williss for XmForm to cope with XtGeometryAlmost.
Changed by Danny as the original fix broke nedit slightly.
- Fixes for geometry in XmRowColumn and XmScrolledWindow.
- Fixes for memory problems detected by Purify.
- Fix for an off by one error in XmList.
- Added scroll wheel support.
- Fixes by Dave Williss for some XmFrame bugs.
- Workaround/fix for pushbuttons not handling their resize when the
application uses
SetValues to set an acceleratorText.
- The recent Xpm security fixes.
- Fix for uninitialised memory problems.
About LessTif:
LessTif is a "free" (LGPL'd) implementation of the OSF/Motif standard
GUI toolkit for X11. LessTif aims to be source compatible with the Motif
(a product of The OpenGroup) versions 1.2 and 2.1.
Nearly all Motif 1.2 apps compile and work out of the box with LessTif!
We still lack substantial parts of the new 2.1 functionality,
but most 2.x applications can already be built and used (many don't use
the 2.x novelties).
Some run-time problems however may still exist. The LessTif Core team is
interested in hearing about Motif applications which don't work with
LessTif.
Bug reports are welcome - patches are even more welcome!
More information, source code, and binaries for several platforms
are available at:
