This is a port of OpenBSD's excellent cwm[0] to Linux and other
Unices.
cwm is a window manager for X11 which contains many features that
concentrate on the efficiency and transparency of window
management. cwm also aims to maintain the simplest and most
pleasant aesthetic.
2014-03-13 22:19:19 +04:00
This port requires pkg-config, Xft, Xinerama and Xrandr. The included Makefile
2014-03-14 19:43:40 +04:00
should work with both GNU make and BSD make. It has been built successfully on
OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OS X 10.9 and Linux.

2014-04-13: Second public release 5.5 of portable cwm.
User visible changes (for a full list including smaller bug fixes, see
http://www.openbsd.org/plus.html ff.)
Changes made between OpenBSD 5.1 and 5.2
* Fixed cwm(1) atom (WM_PROTOCOLS) style handing; closing a window will no
longer close entire application if the client supports CLIENT_PROTO_DELETE.
* Re-implement atom handing for more consistent separation of cwm(1) and
Extended Window Manager Hints.
* cwm(1) better integrated into the freedesktop.org Window Manager
Specification Project.
Changes made between OpenBSD 5.2 and 5.3
* Set the initial cwm(1) group to "1".
* Added cwm(1) per-group vert/horiz tiling support with new bind commands
"vtile" and "htile."
* Made cwm(1) screen font an Xft(3) font.
* Specific last match for autogroup in cwmrc(5).
* Tab completion support for cwm(1) menus.
* Allow cwm(1) clients to be resized from a max state.
* Multibyte input to cwm(1) menu code now possible.
Changes made between OpenBSD 5.3 and 5.4
* Added support for mouse based group {,r}cycle to cwmrc(5).
* Allow mouse button4 and button5 in cwmrc(5).
* Made cwm(1) check for, and honour, CWStackMode and CWSibling change requests
during a ConfigureRequest event.
* Honour PATH search order for cwm(1)'s exec.
Changes made between OpenBSD 5.5 and 5.4
* Only set the cwm(1) urgency flag if the client is not active.
* Allow the cwm(1) config parser continue parsing even after encountering an
error.
* cwm(1) now follows the EWMH spec: if the cardinal returned is 0xFFFFFFFF (-1)
then the window should appear on all desktops.
* Made cwm(1) supply a more useful title for windows launched via the ssh(1)
command menu ("[ssh] ").
* Allowed cwm(1) to accept _NET_WM_DESKTOP and _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP
ClientMessage.
* Implemented cwm(1) support for _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN hint, with keybinding
changes: CM-f "fullscreen", CM-m "maximize".
* Instead of using the work area, use the Xinerama area for cwm(1) snap
calculations.
* Save-set when cwm(1) is re-exec'ing so as to not lose State on our hidden
clients.
* Added cwmrc(5) support for XUrgency and matching
_NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION ewmh hint, with configurable urgencyborder.
* Prepend the group shortcut in the cwm(1) client search menu;
prepend shortcut in unhide menu.
* If not hidden during an UnmapNotify event, cwm(1) will now un-manage the
client.
* Like "gap", made cwm(1) "snapdist" per-screen.
* Removed cwmrc(5) option to bind a key by keycode with brackets, which never
worked. Users should be using keysym names not keycodes.
* Re-added cwm(1) support for WM_TAKE_FOCUS. Solves keyboard input focus loss
for java apps.
* For cwm(1) clients that support WM_TAKE_FOCUS in their WM_PROTOCOLS property,
send a ClientMessage event.
2015-01-24 20:31:20 +03:00
2015-01-24: Third public release 5.6 of portable cwm.
* Support building on FreeBSD and OS X.
* Support for sticky windows (_NET_WM_STATE_STICKY).
* Internal cleanups and bug fixes.
