Aloha all; Just thought I let you all know I nearing the release of version 0.2 of matchbox and I've been putting 'Preview' ipkg releases into my downloadables directory [1], There basically daily CVS builds with debug turned on - they'll spool lots of info to your terminal, which is useful for me if you get a crash. Id really appreciate people hammering these and seeing if they can crash matchbox or make it do something wierd. If people could also keep an eye on memory usage ( particularly in the actual Xserver ), Im using window background to draw the titlebar directly onto which greatly reduces flicker - but im not sure how X handles memory allocation for this. Improvement in these previews include; - dock alignment improved, apps can now align right ( pass -r to included dock apps ). - windows can now be transient for root ( always visible dialogs ) - xterms now open quickly - minivol ( docked volume app) added - minisys added ( docked cpu/mem monitor) - miniapm fixed and now pretty - minitime improved - monolaunch no longer needs window name ( experimental ) - double click on window title collapses it. - Too big dock apps now resized to fit in dock - Dialogs allowed to resize themselves now - Much better dialog handling ( using window_group properties ) - new miniwave dockapp ( dockable wavelan monitor ) - hopefully a lot less flicker on window titles.... - LOTS of bug fixes ... before 0.2 is released I'll need to update the matchbox docs and I'll probably split the dock apps into a separate package.
