XForms 1.2.4

• lib/forms.c: an object that isn't visible could become the focus object, which was an insidious bug :-(
• Lots of minor corrections
• lib/input.c: some more corrections.
• lib/input.c: Attempt to fix bugs and inconsistencies reported by Lucas Sköldqvist.
• lib.bitmaps/colorwheel.xpm: number of colors reduced since this bitmap alone was resposible for over a third of the size of the tar ball.
• lib/goodie_colchooser.c: new goodie for picking arbitrary colors interactively added.
• lib/positioner.c: major changes: range of values can now be controlled via a validation function. New functions for setting both alues at once and getting the current boundary settings. Drawing now is done differently (instead of XOR current background is stored and redrawn). Mouse is hidden while over positioner and active.
• lib/positioner.c: step values are now also factored in when a new x- or y-value gets set by the user.
• lib/spinner.c: Bug in handling of FL_FLOAT_SPINNER fixed.
• lib/xyplot.c: fl_set_xyplot_mouse_buttons() and fl_get_xyplot_mouse_buttons() added and clean-up of code to fix memory leaks.
• lib/slider.c: Function for selecting mouse buttons added.
• lib/input.c: Validator for dates improved+
• lib/input.c: Further bug fixes and code simplifications
• lib/input.c: Bugs found by Lucas Sköldqvist in input objects (hopefully) fixed.
• lib/fonts.c: Bug in font caching code, found by "Sunny", that could result in crashes fixed.
• Some minor fixes for object label alignment
• */Makefile.am: Removed '-Wl,--no-undefined' since this linker flag is not available everywhere
• lib/flinternal.h: Removed stupid definition of variables - thanks go to André Ludwig for noticing the problem.
• lib/objects.c: Another attempt at speeding-up redraws
• lib/objects.c: Speed-up for redraws
• lib/menu.c: Fix by Lothar Esser added for bug in menu handling.

XForms 1.2.3

This release fixes a bug in the xyplot widget.

XForms 1.2.2

This release fixes an issue with newer versions of Gnone, resulting in programs exiting prematurely.

XForms 1.2.1

Due to fixes for a newly detected bug in the xyplot widget and issues with support for very old programs (using a different coordinate system) a new release has been published.

XForms 1.2.0

Version 1.2.0 is a new stable release of the XForms library. While development has been concentrated on removal of bugs also a number of new features and improvements have been added. The documentation has also been updated.

Note: release numbers will in the future allow to distinguish stable and development versions, with even release numbers for stable and odd numbers for development versions (i.e. xforms-1.2.x is a stable release while xforms-1.3.y is a development release in preparation for a future 1.4.0 stable release).

XForms 1.0.93sp1

A new stable release is out! It's mostly about bug fixes and improvements of the documentation. (Yes, there also was shortly a 1.0.93 release but one more bug was found and removed, and now it's 1.0.93sp1;-)

XForms 1.0.92sp2

Another bug was found in the latest release and has been fixed, thus there's another "service pack" release 1.0.92sp2.

XForms 1.0.92sp1

Unfortunately, there were still two bugs in the fdesign program of the new 1.0.92 release which were only found after the official release. Both bugs have been fixed in the "service pack" release 1.0.92sp1.

XForms 1.0.92

Here is the new release 1.0.92. While an important aspect was the removal of bugs also some new object types have been added. And the documentation is now again available in a format that allows to change it. Here's a short list of the most important changes:

• The documentation has been rewritten in texi format (which can be easily converted to PDF, HTML or info format) and is now part of the XForms sources.
• Changes in the way objects the user interacted with are returned to the user program - it is now possible to determine what the circumstances were and it also works with composite objects.
• Rewrite of part of the browser object class.
• A new object class, called "spinner", was added.
• New implementation of popups (and, with them, new menu and choice objects, named 'nmenu' and 'select' objects).
• Programs that link against libforms now don't have to be linked against libX11 and libXpm explicitely anymore.
• Improvements in the way fdesign reads in .fd files (better and more precise error messages).
• Many more pre-defined colors are available.
• Lots of bugs got fixed in the library, fdesign and fd2ps.

XForms 1.0.91

I am happy to finally announce the release of XForms 1.0.91. Hopefully this is another step on the somewhat longer than expected road to XForms 1.1.0. The new release is mostly a maintainance release with the emphasis on removal of bugs, code clean-up and getting it more in line with the description in the documentation. So only a very small amount of new features were added. Here is a list of new features (see the files New_Features.txt for a more detailed description and ChangeLog for a complete list of all changes):

V1.0.91 November 22, 2008

• The default "look" of objects has been changed, mostly by reducing the default border width.
• New function for determining the border width of an object
• New function for determining the gravity setting of an object
• New function for determining the resize properties of an object
• New functions that allows to set and query which mouse buttons a button reacts to - this can now also be set via fdesign
• New goodie function for showing a message box
• New goodie function for showing an alert box
• New function that allows to switch off the title of a menu
• New function that allows to determine the sizes the window manager puts aroung a form's window
• New function that allows to determine if a form's window is iconified
• Creation and dealing with menus has been changed to allow callback functions, deletion of menu entries etc.
• The option '-debug' has been changed to '-fldebug'
• New option '-flhelp' has been added
