JWM v1.5 is out!

[Alienx]

Along with the usual bug fixes, this version should be much faster than v1.4.


JWM v1.5 <> 20060312

* Fixed an issue with menu includes.
* Made it so TrayButton can do more things. "exec:" for running programs, "showdesktop" to minimize all windows on the desktop, and "root" (the default) to show the root menu.
* Added support for UTF-8.
* Added support for resizing of swallowed clients (lior2b).
* Now "keycode" can be specified instead of "key" for key bindings allowing the use of keys which don't have a key symbol.
* Swallow items now resize to 1 pixel if the client dies.
* Support for right-to-left text using FriBidi.
* Much faster color allocation.
* Client requested resizes are now constrained.
* Added "popup" attribute for TrayButton.
* The clock now resizes itself as needed.
* Fixed window maximization with tray autohide.
* Fixed tray autohide with menus.
* Added "enabled" and "delay" PopupStyle attributes.
* Fixed a bug in the way shape events are handled.
* Caps lock and num lock are no ignored with key bindings.

I currently work on a "minimize all" button for Enlightenment 16.
It is somewhat tricky, because E16 has virtual Desktops, and I want to minimize just the windows on the visible screen. (2 Desktops 800x600 have common coordinates 1600x600 for example)
To avoid black borders on the Icon-thumbnails, they also must be moved inside the screen completely, if they overlap. But it seems to work, just some more tweaking needed until next weekend.

I think that Jwm-button is a very nice feature.
I think, helpfull would be also "<" and ">" -buttons, to cycle through all opened windows (raise the next one with every click).
