| 1 | Version 0.7, 2001-02-12 |
|---|
| 2 | ----------------------- |
|---|
| 3 | * Applied patch from Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@mandrakesoft.com>. This |
|---|
| 4 | fixes some problems related to glibc and setuid apps. |
|---|
| 5 | |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | Version 0.6, 2001-02-12 |
|---|
| 8 | ----------------------- |
|---|
| 9 | * Applied patch from George <jirka@5z.com>: Some sanity checks, |
|---|
| 10 | checks for Xsync, and more. |
|---|
| 11 | |

|---|
| 13 | Version 0.5, 2001-01-31 |
|---|
| 14 | ----------------------- |
|---|
| 15 | * Applied patch from George <jirka@5z.com>: xalf-capplet now |
|---|
| 16 | correctly sets up "invisible window" as default. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | Version 0.4, 2000-06-18 |
|---|
| 20 | ----------------------- |
|---|
| 21 | * Added GNOME Control Center capplet. |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | * New indicator: Animated star, by Martin Engel <m.engel@ndh.net>. |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | Version 0.3, 2000-06-01 |
|---|
| 27 | ----------------------- |
|---|
| 28 | * Added option --title |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | * If LD_PRELOAD is already set upon Xalf start, it is appended. This |
|---|
| 31 | means that Xalf now should work well even if LD_PRELOAD is |
|---|
| 32 | needed for other purposes. |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | Not all systems support this. Probably, it only works on systems |
|---|
| 35 | running a recent version of ld-linux.so. |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | * New hourglass splashscreen, thanks to Tuomas Kuosmanen |
|---|
| 38 | <tigert@gimp.org>. |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | * XALF_LAUNCH_ID is removed from started applications environment, |
|---|
| 41 | eg. should be invisible. |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | Version 0.2, 2000-04-14 |
|---|
| 45 | ----------------------- |
|---|
| 46 | * Total code rewrite. |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | * Overloads XMapWindow instead of XCreateWindow. |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | * Uses a environment variable called XALF_LAUNCH_PID with the pid of |
|---|
| 51 | the tracking xalf process. XMapWindow, when called, sends an signal |
|---|
| 52 | to this process. |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | * Optionally uses "mappingmode" instead of the LD_PRELOAD approach. In |
|---|
| 55 | this mode MapNotify events are detected. In this mode, it's not |
|---|
| 56 | possible to distinguish between created windows. This mode is useful |
|---|
| 57 | for applications requiring exclusive control over the LD_PRELOAD |
|---|
| 58 | variable, such as StarOffice 5.1. |
|---|
| 59 | |
|---|
| 60 | * Uses GNU getopt for option parsing. |
|---|
| 61 | |
|---|
| 62 | * Check if unsetenv() is available. Use putenv() if it doesn't |
|---|
| 63 | exist. |
|---|
| 64 | |
|---|
| 65 | * Launch timeout. |
|---|
| 66 | |
|---|
| 67 | * Build system uses Automake, Autoconf and Libtool. |
|---|
| 68 | |
|---|
| 69 | * Three different indicators available: invisible window, |
|---|
| 70 | splashscreen and mouse cursor change. |
|---|
| 71 | |
|---|
| 72 | * Detects if launched application is setuid/setgid, and automatically |
|---|
| 73 | use --mappingmode if this is the case. |
|---|
| 74 | |
|---|
| 75 | * Detects if LD_PRELOAD is already set, and automatically |
|---|
| 76 | use --mappingmode if this is the case. |
|---|
| 77 | |
|---|
| 78 | * Detects if libxalflaunch.so if available, and automatically use |
|---|
| 79 | --mappingmode if the library is not available. |
|---|
| 80 | |
|---|
| 81 | * Catches SIGTERM, SIGINT and SIGQUIT signals, and restores changed |
|---|
| 82 | cursor upon these signals. |
