Hi all;
Yesterday I uploaded matchbox-0.1.8, xkbd-0.7.1 and
mb-themes-0.2.1 into unstable. Heres the info;
Matchbox 0.1.8
Matchbox is an X11 window manager specifically designed for handheld /
touchscreen devices.
The release features the following improvements;
o Many bug fixes to layout, flicker etc.
o Basic support for windows changing type 'on the fly'.
o Navigation now adjusts if only one main window open.
o New doc app 'minisys' added -a dockable, 'toolbarable', system
cpu/mem monitor.
o Debian build scripts. Built Debs pass Lintian and are available at
http://handhelds.org/~mallum/downloadables ( arm & i326 available)
o Documentation - see http://handhelds.org/~mallum/matchbox .
Please report typo's !
For the next version, I plan on adding 'detachable, floating'
toolbars, improved dock and better window type changing handling.
mb-themes 0.1.2
An extra themes package for matchbox. This release contains one new
theme - 'rage', basically ripped off the sawfish 'gorilla/rage' theme.
Xkbd 0.7.1
Xkbd is a highly configurable on screen 'soft' keyboard for X11.
New features include;
o The core of xkbd now exists as a shared lib, so it can be easily
'embedded' into other apps ( such a screen locker, simple xdm type
app ). This is quite experimental at this time, but seems quite
solid.
o Dropped support of '-o' switch. No more override redirect windows.
o Improved layout engine.
o New fitaly layout ( Thanks go to Toykeeper ).
o New config options for key repeat rate, slide
sensitivity. Unfortunately yet to be documented :(
o Build now uses autoconf / automake
Screenshots of all of the above are available at;
