Hi !
1.5pre4 is on ftp.afterstep.org in incoming.
So I guess it'll be available soon.
Changes from pre3 to pre4:
* now it compiles :-) ./install.script means easy compilation for beginners
* no more bpm/man path confusio
* added a Paste function (mapped to Ctrl-V)
* wharf changes (both Ethan Ficher's _great_ work)
* nearly complete version (only lacks xiterm which is being improved)
BUT WE NEED HELP.
Please code a bit if you can. (if anyone fixed only 1 bug, 1.5.0 could be here
tomorrow !!)
Here's the buglist/things to code before reaching 1.5.0 :
* KillModuleByName is broken
* Update look & feel : afterstep complains of
AfterStep: internal error
Request 54, Error 4
EventType: 5
* "sgmltools" is not detected correctly due to autoconf bug (not to AfterStep)
o I18N patch to DrawTitlebar in borders.c is not in?! it was in the
scr.patch, but not the 1.5core; in fact, compilation with I18N
fails badly, even with the unmodified 1.5core
o check TitlebarNoPush - titlebar relief pattern is messed up when
textures are used (comes from stepgfx.c, I think)
o need thorough cleaning of global variable initialization!!!!
InitVariables should either initialize the first time AS starts,
or on restart, but not both; many variables are simply overwritten
instead of freed properly on restart
* Huge titlebars don't have gradients on the right end
* "Move to DESK N" is broken. like all window ops functions
* Take 2 xiterm, put the first one over Quit button of the 2nd, shade the
1st : 2nd xiterm looses its Quit button ! Happens with every app
* Reported Num_Lock bug again : makes you loose focus after some days of use
Happened to me ... without NumLock, by 00:05. May be related to time ??????
Day changing ? (looks like a pre Y2K bug ;-)
* NEW_ICON code has been completely broken
* HUGE memory leak (try ps -axu when you launch afterstep, then some hours
later)
* Moreover, after applying some new style patches, AS crashes on 3rd Restart
* aspostit
Hidden notes : try to hide / save all notes / Exit
Then reopen : it's not working !!!
Hidden notes is not working : display even unhidden notes !
Raise/Lower sometimes not working
Worst of all : right click root note win can lose focus & never gain it again
* astile & ascascade
Should order the window. Just fast hack from fvwm2 modules ... but don't work
at all !
* replace all forms by script equivalents
o add a _include_share in any dir from ~/GNUstep/L/A/ to include all /usr/share
files to current dir without having to cp them
