Window Maker 50.2 released.

[Tesla Coil <tescoil@rtpro.net>]

I saw at Computerfest that several of you use Window Maker.
This is Dan Pascu's announce of 52.0, less the change log entry,
available at http://www.windowmaker.org/src/ChangeLog
I have included the NEWS entries--they aren't on the site quite yet.

One item of note is that the old theme style is no longer supported.
The changeover could be very easily handled with a script.  I just
got the news, so haven't written one up yet ...

---------------------------------------------------------
A new version of Window Maker (0.52.0), is released and waiting to be
downloaded from windowmaker.org.

Attached are the ChangeLog and NEWS files, to give you a glance of what
changed.

One important change in the way Window Maker is distributed, was the
removal of the themes included in the distribution.
They were moved in a separate package, together with the icons included
in the old WindowMaker-data.tar.gz, which was removed.
The new data pack is named WindowMaker-extra-<version_number>.tar.gz
Look for the biggest version number available.

Also the old theme format is no longer supported. You need to update
your themes.

Another thing is the removal of the clip code, because I decided to
stop developing. Since Alfredo do not use it, nor like it it was easy
for us to agree on that code removal.

All the rest of the news you can read below.

Have fun,

Dan

NEWS for veteran Window Maker users
-----------------------------------

--- 0.51.2

Appearance Editing in WPrefs
----------------------------
Added Appearance/Texture editing capability in WPrefs. Workspace background
selection is not yet finished.

Themes
------
Removed all themes from the source tree, and moved them in a separate package.
You can download the new package from the same place as this package:
ftp://ftp.windowmaker.org/pub/beta/srcs/
Look after WindowMaker-extra-<version-number>.tar.gz
Also WindowMaker-extra pack include the old WindowMaker-data.tar.gz which only
contained icons.
There is also a WindowMaker-extra.readme which will tell you where should this
extra package untar-ed.

Full Screen Maximization
------------------------
The FullMaximize window attribute will allow the window to
be maximized to the full size of the screen (ignoring anything
like titlebar, resizebar, dock, panels etc). It should be usefull
for programs that must use the whole screen, like games or things
like presentation programs.

get-wraster-flags script change
-------------------------------
The name of the options passed to get-wraster-flags changed, to allow a better
name compatibility with the naming conventions used by other software.
The name change was as follows:
--lflags was changed in --ldflags
To allow backward compatibility, with already written software, the old
--lflags option is still recognized, but you are encouraged to move the the
new --ldflags.

Clip removal
------------
Due to Dan's (who owned the clip copyright) decision to retire, and because
I don't like or use it, I decided to remove the clip.
