| | 3 | * Version 2.6 (5 Apr 2004) |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | This is mostly a bug fix release, to get the latest set of fixes out |
| | 6 | the door. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | ** Distutils is now used to build and install plwm. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | ** We now require Python 2.0 or later. Python 1.5 is no longer supported. |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | ** Mike Meyer (mwm@mired.org) is now administering PLWM. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | ** New mixin: mixer.py. |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | This is a new mixin for controlling the audio mixer. Currently, it |
| | 17 | only supports "rexima", but it should be easy to extend to "aumix" |
| | 18 | etc. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | ** Menu screen mixin is now configurable. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | The menu screen mixin has been extended to use menu_font, |
| | 23 | menu_foreground, menu_background, menu_bordercolor, and |
| | 24 | menu_borderwidth when it draws menus on the screen. The default is |
| | 25 | 9x15Bold, black, white, black and 3. menu_seconds is the number of |
| | 26 | seconds the menu will be onscreen before it vanishes of it's own |
| | 27 | accord. The default value is 0, which means to stay until a selection |
| | 28 | is made or the menu is cancelled. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | ** Message screen mixin is now configurable. |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | The message screen mixin can now be configured with message_font, |
| | 33 | message_foreground, message_background, message_bordercolor and |
| | 34 | message_borderwidth. message_seconds controls how long the message is |
| | 35 | displayed for, with a default value of 5 seconds. |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | ** Screen.system now allows i/o redirection. |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | The Screen.system method now takes an extra argument, redirect. This |
| | 40 | argument should either be a single integer between 0 and 2 inclusive, |
| | 41 | or a tuple of such integers. These fd's are redirected to pipes, and |
| | 42 | the resulting pipes are returned as a three-tuple. Supplying redirect |
| | 43 | implies that the command will be run in the background. |
