Whim 2399 is available.
''March 4, 2008'' There is now a ''Whim2'' that is an experimental release that uses a custom Xvfb-based X server for fast alpha transparency, and unique abilities that you simply won't find with similar window managers.  A tarball of binaries built in Ubuntu 7.0.4 (compatible with libc-2.5.so) is available here: http://whim.linuxsys.net/files/Whim2-1147.tar.bz2 --> http://whim.linuxsys.net/files/Whim-2399.tar.bz2

A special thanks to Elliot for noticing a bug in configure notify handling, and notifying me of it.
(blank line)
This has:
    * bug fixes for configure notify handling (introduced in the last release).  The test suite wasn't working quite right, and I didn't notice.  The configure notify handling should be improved in general now.  The bug was introduced in pwm.so.  This fixes some behavior with the grid layout too.
    * objstructure bug fix for the trace code (reference counting was needed for each trace structure).  In hindsight, I should probably reimplement some of the callbacks to work this way too.
    * a little dead code removal.

Enjoy!  --George

(blank line)
This is a bug fix release.
(blank line)
This has:
    * a minor bug fix for the window management extension that Whim uses
    * applet framework error reporting has been improved, and the protocol for the control line was improved
    * the sheet applet will save your notes on exit, rather than assuming that the timeout has occurred recently enough to not lose data
    * the place layout had a minor bug fixed that caused problems on restart
    * the ConfigureRequest handler in a path is now grabbing the server until the request has been responded to.  This seems to generally avoid some problems, but when limiting the size with constraints some toolkits/apps respond strangely at times.  Ultimately the races that seem to be in some apps will have to be worked around differently. The solution is complicated by Tk doing idle management to layout windows.

This has bug fixes for the initial grid layout with the new taskbar code.
(blank line)
This also fixes the initial focus issue with the "give focus to new windows" option.
(blank line)
The startup spinning window feature that shows up with whimcompmgr2 has been removed.  It was annoying on startup.  Now just the destroyed windows have that (flushing) effect.
(blank line)
Future plans include:
   * Merging Steve's satellite.kit into Whim.

This has a new binary clock applet (work in progress) by a user.
(blank line)
It also has taskbars by default that can't be covered, due to some window hierarchy changes, and builtin taskbar code, so the taskbar applet isn't needed anymore.
(blank line)
Whimcompmgr2 had some bugs fixed too (redraw issues are fixed now).

Whim 2318 is now available.
(blank line)
http://whim.linuxsys.net/files/Whim-2318.tar.bz2
(blank line)
This is a bug fix release.  There aren't any new features, just refinements.
(blank line)
   * Whimcompmgr2 should be more stable, and work better.  Assuming you have a video driver/card that supports it adequately.
(blank line)
Items for a future release include:
(blank line)
   * Making the taskbar size and space be considered when maximizing a window.  It was this way in older releases, but due to some rototilling, and redesign it needs to be rethought.
   * Figuring out a solution for some apps that respond negatively when they don't get the size they want, especially with the grid layout pattern.
   * Making whimcompmgr faster by using WHIMCOMPMGR_IGNORE properly, as whimcompmgr2 does.  Whimcompmgr2 is for OpenGL only, so it doesn't suite everyone.

A new 2284 developer preview is available.
(blank line)
http://whim.linuxsys.net/files/Whim-2284.tar.bz2
(blank line)
   * whimcompmgr2 (now based on OpenGL and GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap)
   * spinning windows (when using whimcompmgr2)
   * fast alpha transparency
   * scaling (if desired)
   * WHIMCOMPMGR_IGNORE handling is now correct; which boosts performance
