| 1 | 20080720: |
|---|
| 2 | * Add 'getmouselocation' which ouputs the coordinate of the mouse cursor and |
|---|
| 3 | the screen number the mouse is on. |
|---|
| 4 | * Add 'getactivewindow' which uses NETWM to query the active window; this is |
|---|
| 5 | often more reliable than 'getwindowfocus' assuming your window manager |
|---|
| 6 | supports it |
|---|
| 7 | * Fix typos in the documentationn. |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | 20080716: |
|---|
| 10 | * Fix return codes in xdo_keysequence() and other functions |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | 20080606: |
|---|
| 13 | * Correctly report an error if xdotool is invoked with an invalid command. |
|---|
| 14 | * Fix invalid error code reporting from 'windowraise' |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | 20080603: |
|---|
| 17 | * Daniel Kahn Gillmor reported a problem with return codes from xdotool. All |
|---|
| 18 | commands return proper exit status now (0 == success, nonzero == error) |
|---|
| 19 | * I tested on 3 window managers: Gnome2 2.20.0, OpenBox 3.4, ion-3rc-20070608 |
|---|
| 20 | - Gnome and OpenBox pass all tests. |
|---|
| 21 | - ion-3 fails on any desktop-related methods (ion-3 lacks the support). |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | 20080601: |
|---|
| 24 | * Add new commands: |
|---|
| 25 | - windowactivate: Activate a window. If the window is on another desktop, we |
|---|
| 26 | will switch to that desktop and then activate the window. |
|---|
| 27 | - set_num_desktops number: Changes the number of desktops or workspaces. |
|---|
| 28 | - get_num_desktops: Output the current number of desktops. |
|---|
| 29 | - set_desktop desktop_number: Change the current view to the specified |
|---|
| 30 | desktop. |
|---|
| 31 | - get_desktop: Output the current desktop in view. |
|---|
| 32 | - set_desktop_for_window window_id desktop_number: Move a window to a |
|---|
| 33 | different desktop. |
|---|
| 34 | - get_desktop_for_window window_id: Output the desktop currently containing |
|---|
| 35 | the given window. |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | windowactivate tested and confirmed working in: ion-3 and Gnome2 (metacity) |
|---|
| 38 | The rest of the new commands have only been tested in Gnome2. They do not |
|---|
| 39 | work in ion-3 due to lacking support for EWMH in ion. |
|---|
| 40 | * Rewrote the man page in perlpod format. |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | 20080521: |
|---|
| 43 | * Import patches from keynav's xdotool branch (From Lukas Mai) which make |
|---|
| 44 | xdotool compile happily when building with -Wall and -pedantic (and others) |
|---|
| 45 | * Finally convert to using Window type for (hopefully) everything instead of |
|---|
| 46 | incorrectly typecasting Window to int sometimes. |
|---|
| 47 | * Confirmed that the one (but mostly useless) test passes. |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | 20071230: |
|---|
| 50 | * Manpage contribution by Daniel Kahn Gillmor |
|---|
| 51 | * Add COPYRIGHT from svn to the distributed package. |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | 20070903: |
|---|
| 54 | * Add xdo_mousemove_relative for relative mouse movements |
|---|
| 55 | * Add xdolib.sh. This is a script library to help with features xdo does not |
|---|
| 56 | explicitly implement, such as querying window attributes, or fetching the |
|---|
| 57 | root window id. An example which uses this is: examples/move_window_away.sh |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | 20070812: |
|---|
| 60 | * Magnus Boman contributed keysequence_{up,down} adding new commands to |
|---|
| 61 | xdotool: keyup and keydown. These take the same arguments as 'key' but only |
|---|
| 62 | send keyup or keydown events. |
|---|
| 63 | * Lee Pumphret contributed getwindowfocus, which tells you the window id of |
|---|
| 64 | the window currently holding focus. |
|---|
| 65 | * Removed 'Makefile.no-pkg-config' because the original Makefile now knows |
|---|
| 66 | how to build for both cases: with and without pkg-config. |
|---|
| 67 | |
|---|
| 68 | 20070722: |
|---|
| 69 | * Compiles without warnings when using gcc -Wall now |
|---|
| 70 | * Fixed false error reporting due to some functions missing return statements |
|---|
| 71 | |
|---|
| 72 | 20070713: |
|---|
| 73 | * Add flag SIZE_USEHINTS to xdo_window_setsize |
|---|
| 74 | * Add flag --usehints to xdotool windowsize |
|---|
| 75 | |
|---|
| 76 | Increments are used often in terminals that say "my font is 5 by 7 pixels, so |
|---|
| 77 | resize by that increment". So, you can use this to set a terminal to be 80x24 |
|---|
| 78 | characters instead of pixels. Verified by resizing xterm and gnome-terminal |
|---|
| 79 | (with menus enabled). |
|---|
| 80 | |
|---|
| 81 | 20070712: |
|---|
| 82 | Added new search options to 'xdotool search' |
|---|
| 83 | --onlyvisible shows only visible windows in the results |
|---|
| 84 | --title causes only the window title to be matched |
|---|
| 85 | --name causes the window name to be matched |
|---|
| 86 | --class causes the window class to be matched |
|---|
| 87 | |
|---|
| 88 | For information on names and classes, check out the xprop tool. |
|---|
| 89 | For example, for an xterm you will see this in the xprop output: |
|---|
| 90 | WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xterm", "XTerm" |
|---|
| 91 | "xterm" is the name, "XTerm" is the class. Don't ask me what the differences |
|---|
| 92 | are supposed to be. ;) |
