HISTORY (5731B)

---

 = 2006-09-30
 
 * Included 1.1.0 release of Ruby-IXP.
 
 
 = 2006-09-29
 
 * Fixed bug in toggle_maximize method (in rc.rb) due
   to accessing a nonexistent file in IXP file system.
 
   Thanks to Christian von Mueffling for reporting this bug.
 
 * Fixed problem with reading
   index (Wmii::Client#index) of
   currently selected client.
 
 * Wmii.find_client now accepts a variable number of places to be searched.
 
 
 = 2006-09-28
 
 * Added number_view_buttons method (in rc.rb) which numbers
   the view buttons displayed on the bar, from left to right.
 
 
 = 2006-09-27
 
 * Included two main concurrency fixes for Ruby-IXP.
 
 
 = 2006-09-24
 
 * Added two-stage event handling,
   to minimize the number of events
   missed while processing an event.
 
 
 = 2006-09-23
 
 * Fixed event & status bar loop. It was forgotten when I transitioned
   to the new Ixp::Node#method_missing behavior on 2006-09-22.
 
   Thanks to Fredrik Ternerot for reporting this bug.
 
 * When selecting views based on their first letter: if more than one
   view matches, then they are cycled (adapted from Fredrik Ternerot).
 
 * Added focus_view_matching method in rc.rb.
 
 * Fixed errors that occurred when the tile and
   diamond arrangements were applied to empty views.
 
 
 = 2006-09-22
 
 * Ixp::Node#method_missing now only dereferences files. Also,
   the ! notation has been removed, as you can see below.
 
     >> Wmii.fs.bar.status
     => #<Ixp::Node:0xb7b5940c @path="/bar/status">
     >> Wmii.fs.bar.status.read
     => ["colors", "data"]
     >> Wmii.fs.bar.status.data
     => "Fri Sep 22 18:46:11 PDT 2006 | 0.06 0.10 0.08 | 531M 100% /home"
     >> Wmii.fs.bar.status.data!
     => #<Ixp::Node:0xb7b377e4 @path="/bar/status/data!">
 
 
 = 2006-09-21
 
 * Fix some forgotten changes from show_menu() returning *nil*.
 
 * Exception error message (xmessage) now lets you restart *wmiirc*.
 
 * Updated event loop to generate less 9P traffic.
 
 
 = 2006-09-20
 
 * Included code from upcoming Ruby-IXP 1.1.0 release.
 
 * Ixp::Node#method_missing now only dereferences a node
   if the method is suffixed with an exclamation mark.
 
 * show_menu now returns *nil* if nothing was chosen.
 
 * Updated event loop for {wmii-3.1's /event overload bug
   fix}[http://wmii.de/pipermail/wmii/2006-September/002718.html].
 
 * Added explicit termination of already running instances
   in *wmiirc* via Process.kill and `ps`, instead of using
   /event as a means of coordinating said task.
 
 
 = 2006-09-19
 
 * Included Ruby-IXP 1.0.3 release.
 
 * Added Ixp::Node#open method to reduce 9P traffic.
 
 * Added ability to fetch a sub-node
   via Ixp::Node#method_missing, while
   not dereferencing it (reading its
   contents if it is a file), by adding
   an exclamation to the file name.
 
   For example, consider the following output in *wmiish*.
 
     >> Wmii.fs.bar.status.data
     => "Tue Sep 19 10:50:41 PDT 2006 | 0.30 0.43 0.29 | 1.7G 98% /home"
     >> Wmii.fs.bar.status.data!
     => #<Ixp::Node:0xb7bf1f18 @path="/bar/status/data">
 
 * *wmiirc* no longer automatically resumes from error. Instead,
   it throws you a terminal and shows you the error details so
   you have a chance to fix it and restart *wmiirc* yourself.
 
 
 = 2006-09-18
 
 * Included Ruby-IXP 1.0.2 release.
 
 
 = 2006-09-17
 
 * Added Wmii::View#empty? and Wmii::Area#empty? methods.
 
 * change_tag_from_menu now returns the chosen tag.
 
 * Included Ruby-IXP 1.0.1 release.
 
 
 = 2006-09-16
 
 * Fixed toggling of maximization
   of currently focused client,
   via toggle_maximize in rc.rb.
 
   Thanks to Fredrik Ternerot for reporting this bug.
 
 
 = 2006-09-15
 
 * Added Wmii.get_view and Wmii.get_client
   methods, to further minimize hard-coded
   IXP file system paths. This will make it
   easier to upgrade to wmii-4 later on.
 
 * Fixed ruby-ixp to be internally buffered for Ixp#read.
 
 * Event loop now uses Ixp#read instead of *wmiir*.
 
 * Already running configurations now correctly
   exit when another instance starts up.
 
 
 = 2006-09-14
 
 * Added ability to swap current client with the
   currently focused client in any other column.
 
 
 = 2006-09-13
 
 * Reverted to *wmiir* for event loop, because
   Ixp#read isn't internally buffered!
 
 * Changed Wmii::View#each to Wmii::View#each_column because
   floating area isn't a column (it doesn't have /mode file).
 
 * Added shortcuts for setting layouts of all columns in current view.
 
 * Added shortcuts for selection of current column.
 
 * Fixed ability to terminate multiple clients.
 
 
 = 2006-09-12
 
 * Event loop now uses Ixp#read instead of *wmiir*.
 
   * Already running configurations now correctly
     exit when another instance starts up.
 
 * Added Wmii::View#diamond! -- a diamond-shaped automated client arrangement.
 
 * Added Wmii::Area#length= for setting number of clients in a column.
 
 
 = 2006-09-11
 
 * Added exception logging and recovery mechanism.
 
   * wmiirc is now split into a loader
     file (wmiirc) and a configuration
     file (wmiirc-config.rb), just
     like in the ruby-wmii project.
 
 * IXPException' are no longer hidden away inside Ixp.
 
 * Moved support for destructive area-operations
   from Wmii#with_selection into Array#each so
   that it is generally available.
 
 
 = 2006-09-10
 
 * Added wmiish--an interactive Ruby shell for controlling wmii.
 
 * Lots of major refactoring in Ixp and Wmii.
   * Moved utility methods from wmiirc into rc.rb.
 
 
 = 2006-09-09
 
 * Cleaned up IXP abstraction... now
   multiple levels of method_missing
   works, and so does self[sub_path]
 
 * Wmii#with_selection now supports destructive area-operations.
 
 * Update for compliance with new unique-client-id in filesystem patch.
 
 
 = 2006-08-31
 
 * Added facility which sends the selection
   to temporary view or switches back again.
 
 
 = 2006-08-30
 
 * Add Wmii#with_selection method for operating on all clients in selection.
