A new release of the xpra/wimpiggy/parti suite is now available, at:
http://partiwm.org/static/downloads/parti-full-0.0.4.tar.gz
This is primarily an Xpra release, with the other packages taken along
for the ride. Highlights are many, many bugfixes (AFAIK, everything
anyone tripped over has been fixed, so trying out xpra should be much
smoother now -- though I'm sure there are still bugs remaining), and
an important optimization (really a workaround for an X server bug).
NEWS:
v0.0.4 (2008-04-04)
===================
Xpra:
-- Protocol changes break compatibility with 0.0.3, but:
-- New command 'xpra upgrade', to restart/upgrade an xpra server
without losing any client state. (Won't work when upgrading from
0.0.3, unfortunately, but you're covered going forward.)
-- Fix bug that left stray busy-looping processes behind on server
when using ssh connections.
-- Export window class/instance hints (patch from Ethan Blanton).
-- Hack to make backspace key work (full support for keyboard maps
still TBD).
-- Added discussion of xmove to README.xpra.
Wimpiggy:
-- Make compatible with current Pyrex releases (thanks to many
people for reporting this).
-- Work around X server bug #14648 (thanks to Ethan Blanton for help
tracking this down). This improves speed dramatically.
-- Reverse-engineer X server lifetime rules for NameWindowPixmap,
and handle it properly. Also handle it lazily. This fixes the
bug where window contents stop updating.
-- Avoid crashing when acknowledging damage against an
already-closed window.
-- Improve server extension checking (thanks to 'moreilcon' for the
report).
-- Remove spurious (and harmless) assertion messages when a window
closes.
-- Make manager selection handling fully ICCCM-compliant (in
particular, we now pause properly while waiting for a previous
window manager to exit).
-- Make algorithm for classifying unmapped client windows fully
correct.
-- Reduce required version of Composite extension to 0.2.
Parti:
-- Remove a stale import that caused a crash at runtime (thanks to
'astronouth7303' for the report).
General:
-- Error out build with useful error message if required packages
are missing.
Share and enjoy,
