I'd also like to see the manpage mark the version number each option was introduced. My twmrc has to deal ctwm versions going way back. As well as twm on a few machines. As such I have lots of to add things using m4 ifdef() statments. EG: I have the following at the top of my twmrc ===8 dnl Convert version number 3.5 or 3.5.2 or 3.7-alpha5 to a 3 digit number dnl for use in ctwm version specific additions. For example: dnlifelse ( eval( CTWM_VERSION = 350 ) ) dnl ifelse( TWM_TYPE, ctwm, [define(CTWM_VERSION, substr(translit( substr(TWM_VERSION, 0, index(TWM_VERSION-, [-])), [.])000, 0, 3) )dnl ],[define(CTWM_VERSION, 0)dnl ])dnl dnl Capitalised version of the window managers name, for use in Menus define( TWM_NAME, translit(TWM_TYPE, [cvt], [CVT]))dnl dnl dnl # [TWM_NAME] = TWM_NAME # [TWM_VERSION] = TWM_VERSION # [CTWM_VERSION] = CTWM_VERSION # ===8 then use things like... ===8 ifelse( TWM_TYPE, ctwm, [dnl #PackNewWindows # try not to overlap with existing windows IgnoreLockModifier# Ignore caplock with all key bindings MenuShadowDepth 2 BorderShadowDepth 3 IconManagerShadowDepth3 ClearShadowContrast 50 # clear shadow for 3D DarkShadowContrast 50 # dark shadow for 3D ifelse( eval( CTWM_VERSION = 360 ), 1, [dnl Only if CTWM Version = 3.6 SloppyFocus # keep focus when on root window #IconifyStyle zoomin # graphical effect for iconify # normal,mosaic,zoomin, # zoomout,sweep ])dnl ctwm 3.6 ifelse( eval( CTWM_VERSION = 370 ), 1, [dnl Only if CTWM Version = 3.7 #NoRaiseOnWarp # when should I raise a win? #NoRaiseOnMove # /\ NoRaiseOnResize # || #RaiseOnClick# raise window when clicked on #RaiseOnClickButton 3# which button? #RaiseDelay10# how long delay raise? ])dnl ctwm 3.7 ])dnl ctwm ===8 Knowing when some option was introduced in the manpage would be a major benifit to me, and probably many others.

Re: What release to do (was: [repository.lp.se #104] Bug in ctwm-3.6)
I hope I won't sound too aggressive here... Did you even bother to look at 3.7a5? Pretty much every found bug and code-shift problem found in a4 has been corrected and a lot of stuff has been added (introducing new bugs, of course). All of this required some effort, thinking and reorganizing of the code. How about making an effort yourself (for example looking at the 3.7a5 changelog, verifying the changes made and testing the new stuff) instead of pissing on other people's work? Again, sorry for the outburst. //\\ /\ dL - Dan Lilliehorn \ / ASCII ribbon campaign http://www.dL.nu/ X against HTML email [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ On Mon, 21 Feb 2005, Bjorn Knutsson wrote: Honestly, I think 3.7 should just be quitely dropped and we should restart from 3.6, apply all the bugfix patches and possibly some of well-tested and known-to-be-OK improvements and call this release 3.8.

[repository.lp.se #104] Bug in ctwm-3.6
Hi,
I've found what I think is a bug in the source distribution of
ctwm-3.6 that is available at

I hope this is enough to fix it.

Honestly, I think 3.7 should just be quitely dropped and we should restart from 3.6, apply all the bugfix patches and possibly some of well-tested and known-to-be-OK improvements and call this release 3.8. Then, with the new 3.8 as baseline, people can re-submit whatever patches didn't make it into 3.8. /Björn On 21 Feb 2005 00:35, Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker wrote: [since this discussion isn't really about the reported bug, I'm moving it off ctwm-bugs] In message [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Sun, 20 Feb 2005 08:14:52 -0600, Matthew D.
