SPECTRWM_3_5_0

spectrwm 3.5.0 released!

spectrwm 3.5.0

Released on Oct 22, 2023

Includes a bunch of major new features and improvements, such as dock/panel
support, an always mapped window mode, floating workspace layout, transparent
color support, tons of fixes, and more!

Add free window mode.
- free windows are floating windows that are not in a workspace. They remain
  mapped and may be resized, positioned and stacked anywhere. When iconified,
  they appear at the end of the uniconify menu. Note that free windows can be
  stacked above/below workspace windows but must be put into a workspace and
  unfloated to be part of its tiling layout. float_toggle is convenient for
  this purpose.
- Add free_toggle action (default: M-S-grave). Toggle focused window
  between workspace mode and free mode.
- Add focus_free action (default: M-grave). Switch focus to/from windows in
  free mode, if any.
- Add related color and focus mark options.
Improve EWMH (Extended Window Manager Hints) support.
- Add support for docks/panels and desktop managers.
- Add strut support for windows (e.g. panels) to automatically reserve screen
  real estate.
- Add support for applications to initiate move/resize operations.
- Add demands attention support to urgency features to include windows that
  request focus but are denied.
- Add support for below state to keep windows stacked below others.
- Improve _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW handling.
- Fix _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT should update on workspace and region changes.
Improve window stacking.
- Overhaul window stacking for improved reliability and flexibility required
  for new features/fixes. Windows are now stacked as a whole instead of per
  region/workspace.
- Add click_to_raise option (default: 1 (enabled)). Raises stacking
  priority when clicking on a window.
- Add below_toggle action (default: M-S-t). Toggles below state on a
  focused window to keep it below other windows. raise can be used to
  temporarily bring a window above all others.
- Fix raise and always_raise stacking issues.
- Fix follow mode stacking issues.
- Fix stacking order issues.
- Restore stacking order after leaving fullscreen/maximized state.
Workaround application issues related to ICCCM 6.3 button grabs.
- If X Input Extension >= 2.1 is available, handle button bindings with the
  REPLAY flag passively, without grabs. For other button bindings, establish
  grabs on root.
- Otherwise, for compatibility, establish all button binding grabs directly on
  client windows.
Add alpha transparent color support for use with compositing managers. Colors
can now be specified with an alpha component via the format
rbga:rr/gg/bb/aa (values in hex.)
Improve bar fonts.
- Fallback to a "fail-safe" font if the default/user bar_font fails to load.
- Add fallback handling for missing glyphs when using multiple fonts with Xft.
- Add supplementary private-use code points to bar_font_pua.
- Fix $bar_font program variable substitution should not include fallbacks.
Improve window mapping.
- Add maximize_hide_other and fullscreen_hide_other options. When a
  maximized/fullscreen window is focused, hide unrelated windows on the same
  workspace. Useful for transparent windows.
- Fix window mapping issue when handling simultaneous screen changes.
- Improve reliability.
Improve (re)start handling.
- Set intial focus more reliably.
- Focus on fullscreen/maximized windows before main.
- Restore window floating geometry on shutdown.
Improve focus handling.
- Add prior setting to focus_close. When the focused window is closed,
  fallback to the last focused window in the workspace.
- Add focus_prior action. Focus last focused window on workspace.
  (Default binding: M-S-a.)
- Improve previous focus fallback.
- Fix iconified window focus issue.
- Fix input focus fallback.
- Fix setting focus with EWMH should unmaximize other windows.
- Fix move/resize operation should abort on focus loss.
- Fix focus_main issue with iconified/floating windows.
- Fix max layout focus issue when closing transients.
- Fix warp_pointer issues.
Improve focus follow mode.
- Fix handling of ConfigureWindow and EWMH requests.
- Fix workspace switching issues.
Improve status bar.
- Add character sequence for workspace list indicator (+L).
- Add workspace mark options for the workspace indicator (+L).
- Add stack mark options for the stacking indicator (+S).
- Add focus mark options for the focus status indicator (+F).
- Add character sequence for number of windows in workspace (+w) (lowercase).
- Add unfocused options to color bar text and background.
- Add color options for when a window in free mode is focused.
- Fix bar_action piping deadlock issue.
- Fix name_workspace should clear on empty string.
- Fix refresh bar on name_workspace.
- Set WM_CLASS, WM_NAME and _NET_WM_NAME on the bar window.
Add floating workspace layout stacking mode.
- In floating layout, windows are not tiled and may be freely moved around
  and resized.
- Add stack_mark_floating option for the stacking indicator
  (default: '[~]').
- Add layout_floating action (default: unbound). Directly switch to floating
  layout.
- Add floating stack_mode to the layout option.
Improve max layout.
- Allow windows to be unmaximized/floated in max layout.
- Add max_layout_maximize option to configure default maximized state.
- Allow floating windows to remain floating when dragged between regions into
  a max layout workspace.
Improve window handling.
- Add snap behavior when dragging tiled/maximized windows. Prevents
  accidentally floating tiled windows.
- Add snap_range option (default 25). Sets the pixel distance a
  tiled/maximized window must be dragged (with the pointer) to make it
  float and move freely. Set to 0 to unsnap/float immediately.
- Add maximized_unfocus and fullscreen_unfocus options. Configures
  handling of maximized/fullscreen windows that lose focus.
- Add support for ICCCM WM_CHANGE_STATE ClientMessage. Enables applications
  to iconify their own windows.
- Add support for window gravity. Improves floating window positioning by
  applications.
- Disable border on maximized windows when disable_border = always.
- Add window titles to search_win.
- Fix maximize handling.
- Fix handling when a window is lost immediately after ReparentWindow.
- Fix Java workaround.
Improve workspace handling.
- Add workspace_autorotate option. When switching workspaces between regions,
  automatically "rotate" vertical/horizontal layouts based on RandR rotation
  data.
- Add prior_layout action. Switch to the last used layout.
  (Unbound by default.)
- Add optional rotation argument to region option.
- Fix ws cycle actions should skip visible workspaces.
- Add cycle_visible option to the man page and example conf.
Improve debugging.
- Add -d command-line option to enable debug mode. Enables debug mode
  actions and logging to stderr without the need to rebuild with
  -DSWM_DEBUG.

- Add atom name cache to avoid redundant requests/syncs when printing output.
Fix X connection error handling to exit on a failed connection.
Fix build issues.
- Fix compile error when building against musl.
- Fix build with clang 16 on Linux.
Improve OpenBSD pledge(2) support.
