- Add --write-pid-path to write process ID to a file, to help
determining compton's process ID when -b is used.
- Add a few extra targets to query through D-Bus opts_get (version, pid,
etc.) and through win_get, primarily for debugging.
- Add helper macros likely(), unlikely(), cmalloc(), ccalloc(),
crealloc().
- Change w->opacity_set to opacity_t. Determine display_repr in
session_init(), etc.
- Add on-the-fly VSync option modification via D-Bus, as requested by
kunitoki (#80). Expose parse_vsync(), create vsync_init() and
ensure_glx_context().
- Change default value of ps->drm_fd to -1.
- Update Makefile. Change the install/uninstall rules and add doc
installation, requested by hasufell in #85.
- Mark window not damaged in map_win(). It helps in reducing flickering
with inverted window color, but I'm not completely sure if it's safe.
- Avoid modifying w->invert_color when window is unmapped.
- Update documentation. Thanks to hasufell for pointing out.
- Fix a bug that root window is not repainted on wallpaper change unless
an Expose X event is received. Seemingly, if there's no mapped window
on a screen, X will not send an Expose event when the wallpaper
changes. Thanks to baskerville for reporting.
- Fix a X Pixmap leak when there's no existing wallpaper pixmap found.
- Fix a bug in mstrncpy() that null character is not added to the end of
the copied string.
- Make VSYNC_STRS public, for use in src/dbus.c. Adjust the type of
WINTYPES array. Add NUM_VSYNC.
- Add more targets for various D-Bus methods. Add "bad_target" D-Bus
error. Improve error handling. Add more helper functions to append
arguments to a D-Bus message. Add Introspect method to D-Bus
introspection reply.
- Add public declarations of things in the new condition format code to
common.h. Move definitions of some inline functions from compton.h to
common.h. Make some functions public. Move wid_get_prop_adv() to
compton.c. The primary code files of the new format src/c2.{c,h} will
be published when ready.
- Add support for dumping version string in Makefile (make version), to
make snapshot generation easier.
- Add repeated inclusion protection to common.h.
- Update documentation.
- Use gsed instead of sed in dbus-examples/cdbus-driver.sh if possible,
as some BSD systems does not come with GNU sed by default. Thanks to
DaChiChang for reporting.
- Code clean-up. Small type changes in register_cm() to silence
warnings. Quit on failure in parse_vsync(). Apply stricter checks in
force_repaint().
- Add D-Bus support. Currently 7 methods are available: "reset" (same as
SIGUSR1), "list_win" (list the windows compton manages), "win_get"
(get a property of the window), "win_set" (set a property of the
window), "find_win" (find window based on client window / focus),
"opts_get" (get the value of a compton option), and "opts_set" (set
the value of a compton option), together with 4 signals: "win_added",
"win_destroyed", "win_mapped", "win_unmapped".
- D-Bus support depends on libdbus.
- As there are many items and my time is tight, no much tests are done.
Bugs to be expected.
- Create a new header file `common.h` that contains shared content.
- Fix some bugs in timeout handling.
- Update file headers in all source files.
- Re-enable --unredir-if-possible on multi-screen set-ups, as the user
could turn if off manually anyway.
- Check if the window is mapped in `repair_win()`.
- Add ps->track_atom_lst and its handlers, to prepare for the new
condition format.
- Known issue 1: "win_get", "win_set", "opts_get", "opts_set" support a
very limited number of targets only. New ones will be added gradually.
- Known issue 2: Accidental drop of D-Bus connection is not handled.
- Known issue 3: Introspection does not reveal all available methods,
because some methods have unpredictable prototypes. Still hesitating
about what to do...
- Known issue 4: Error handling is not finished yet. Compton does not
always reply with the correct error message (but it does print out the
correct error message, usually).
