[ann] [clfswm-announce] CLFSWM wiki opened
by Philippe Brochard 24 Feb '08

24 Feb '08

Hi all, I've set up a wiki about CLFSWM here: http://hocwp.free.fr/clfswm-wiki/ Feel free to enhance it, share your ideas or your feeling about clfswm. There is a page for free discution if you find it more convenient than the mailing list. PS: Also, the devel mailing list is the prefered way to discuss about CLFSWM in general. Have fun, Philippe -- Philippe Brochard <pbrochard(a)common-lisp.net> http://hocwp.free.fr _______________________________________________ clfswm-announce mailing list clfswm-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfswm-announce

[ann] [clfswm-announce] Let's go for the next CLFSWM version
by Philippe Brochard 24 Feb '08

24 Feb '08

Hi all, As I said in the last mail, I've done a lot of rework on CLFSWM to change its internal structure. Now the code is much simple and there is no more needs for the pager. If you look at the code and want to walk throw the group tree, don't crash your head on a recurcif algorithm. You can simply use the with-all-* macros. Here are some examples: -------------------------------------------------- ;; Walk throw all childs (with-all-childs (*root-group* child) (typecase child (xlib:window (print (xlib:wm-name child))) (group (print (group-number child))))) ;; Walk throw all groups (with-all-group (*root-group* group) (print (group-number group))) ;; Walk throw all windows (with-all-windows (*root-group* window) (print (wm-name xlib:window))) ;; Walk throw all childs - First form is applied on windows and the ;; second on groups (with-all-groups-windows (*root-group* child) (print (xlib:wm-name child)) (print (group-number child))) -------------------------------------------------- Also there is less keybinding, just press 'm' in the second mode to open a menu. All is not already there (like pack, resize, the mouse...) but I use this version already so there is nothing that prevent to have it in the CVS.

[ann] [clfswm-announce] Major update of clfswm
by Philippe Brochard 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi all, After some exchange with Cyrille Thouvenin I started to rewrite some parts of clfswm. The main major change is that there is no more references to workspaces, all is a group. There is a root group and there childs. A child can be a group or an application window. Here is the old data structure: -------------------------------------------------- (defstruct workspace number group-list) (defstruct group x y width height window-list fullscreenp) (defparameter *workspace-list* nil) -------------------------------------------------- Here is the new one: -------------------------------------------------- (defclass group name number x y w h layout window gc child ...) -simplified- (defparameter *root-group* nil "Root of the root - ie the root group") (defparameter *current-root* nil "The current fullscreen maximized child") (defparameter *current-child* nil "The current child with the focus") -------------------------------------------------- Now using clfswm is like walking throw a tree of groups and windows. Here is the current keybinding to navigate throw this tree: Alt-Tab: circulate throw childs of *current-child* if it is a group. Alt-Left/Right: circulate throw brother childs (ie: this is like workspaces) Alt-Up: select the first child. Alt-Down: select the father of *current-child* Alt-Enter: Make the current selected child the current root (ie maximize it) Alt+Shift-Enter: Make the father of current root the current root (ie unmaximize the current child) There is no workspace but the same effect is obtened by circulating throw brothers childs. The advantages: - you can have workspace in any level. - there is no need for the pager: _you_are_in_the_pager_!!! You can find some screenshots here for a better idea: http://common-lisp.net/project/clfswm/temp/ Others changes are: * group/window coordinates are in float number between 0 (left) and 1 (right) so we can zoom them. Each group have its own window. * each group can have its own layout: no-layout: groups have there size, windows are maximized in the father group maximize-layout: groups and windows are maximized tile-layout: groups and windows are tiled tile-left/right/...: tile like in larswm/dwm... ... and so on - it's very easy to add a new layout. * a group is named so you can tell where you want to map a new window. * Each time a new window is created each group can do something with it (nothing, absorbe this window, copy this window, open a new group and map the window in it, open it in the group named toto... This is a more general process than the previous control-o (open next window in a new workspace)) * Chained key binding. Key binding are grouped by action and there is a little window to present possibles choices (there is no more a lot of keys to remember). * Currently I'm trying to have a different focus policy by groups (I don't know if I'll integrate this by default). Ouf, here it is :) It's a great change but the code is more simple (for example there is no more duplicated code with the second mode and the pager because there is no more pager :) I'll commited all this changes. So don't be too surprised by the new cvs content!

[ann] [rdnzl-announce] New release 0.12.0 plus DLL 0.7.0 (Was: Rdnzl Problem)

I've now released a new version which hopefully fixes this. Thanks for your help and thanks to Michael for discovering the bug. A simple test for callbacks is now included in the examples folder. As I already announced, the new DLL and the updated C++ code are based on Visual Studio 2005 now. Please test! _______________________________________________ rdnzl-announce mailing list rdnzl-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rdnzl-announce

Should also hopefully fix the other problem you reported. I've chosen to always reply "Not Found" now as I think we don't have to give the bad guys hints about our directory structure by sometimes (in the case of folders) saying "Bad Request".

[ann] [drakma-announce] New release 0.11.4 (Was: misleading error message)

That's not entirely correct - you have to check for the CAR, not for the CDR. But I've now uploaded a version which hopefully has better error messages for cases like this one (and others as well).

[ann] [objective-cl-announce] Objective-CL 0.1.1
by Matthias Andreas Benkard 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hi, Objective-CL 0.1.1 has been released today. Quick download: http://matthias.benkard.de/objective-cl/releases/objective-cl-0.1.1.tar.gz * What's new? ** CLOS integration Even though work on supporting the definition of new classes is still ongoing, Objective-CL now correctly maps Objective-C classes to CLOS classes. Objective-C metaclasses are likewise mapped to CLOS metaclasses. Class and metaclass naming follows the convention introduced by Clozure CL. For instance, NSMutableDictionary's CLOS name is NS:NS-MUTABLE-DICTIONARY, while its metaclass' name is NS:+NS-MUTABLE-DICTIONARY. There is one wart left in the mapping: +NS-OBJECT's metaclass is a fake metaclass called ++NS-OBJECT. As far as I can tell, +NS-OBJECT's metaclass ought to be +NS-OBJECT itself, which the CLOS MOP apparently makes impossible (CHANGE-CLASS of metaobjects is not allowed). ** Clozure CL compatibility Clozure CL used to complain about not being able to externalise pointer wrappers (such as instances of the classes ID and SELECTOR). This has been fixed by providing a method on MAKE-LOAD-FORM for these classes. ** GNU CLISP compatibility Objective-C wrapper object finalisation now takes care of removing finalised wrappers from the global caching hash tables. This makes CLISP happy. Therefore, it has stopped crashing upon trying to run the test suite. So, what happened to 0.1.0? Well, the short answer is, I tagged a development version 0.1.0 without running the unit tests first. After I had realised what I had done, it was too late: I had already pushed the tag to the repository. As I didn't want anyone to suffer repository corruption, I decided to simply make the next release version 0.1.1. The tag is still there, of course, so if you're extremely curious about what 0.1.0 would have looked like had it been released, feel free to take a look. It's not that pretty a sight, though. ;) Have fun, Matthias _______________________________________________ objective-cl-announce mailing list objective-cl-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/objective-cl-announce
