LXLauncher 0.2.3 released.

And yet one more application that got no releases for 3 years. That does not mean it isn’t loved, no, it just got no attention, seems it worked more or less. Or may be not. Anyway, few bugs were fixed and this brought new release. As always, everyone are welcome to find any hidden bugs and report them into the tracker.
New release tarball download link:
lxlauncher-0.2.3.tar.xz – SHA1: dcd681775a8e9aed8814f130abc9d6e77a97a3e5

Changes since previous release 0.2.2 (see git log for details):

  • Fixed building with GTK+ older than 2.24.
  • Fixed bug with empty LXLauncher.
  • Installation: updated files to support new autotools,
  • Changed default distribution tarball format to xz instead of gzip.
  • Updated README file with configuration documentation.
  • Fixed path to background image in the README documentation.
  • Allowed usage of all the found gtkrc files, not just first found one, that was highly incorrect and prevented user to use system setup together with user one, no copy-paste required anymore.
  • Fixed all compilation warnings and added support for new safe menu-cache functions.
  • Got rid of deprecated draw function, cairo is used now.
  • Added a manual page for the application.

LXDE-common 0.5.6 released.

After 3 years of silence in the package which some people think of as LXDE core package (though LXDE does not have one), the little bugfix release happened. Not much of changes, just some updates.
New release tarball download link:
lxde-common-0.5.6.tar.xz – SHA1: 4ce700232870db2601ca21b508e65ecc920a54e0

Changes since previous release 0.5.5 (see git log for details):

  • The “Fullscreen” keybinding in Openbox rc.xml file changed from F11 to Alt+F11, Many applications already have this keybinding bound to own processing so let not interfere with them.
  • Installation: added fix for invalid $sysconfdir in configure in case of $prefix is /usr.
  • Fixed incorrect path to pcmanfm.conf file in startlxde script.
  • Changed location of all configuration files placement from somewhere in system shared data directory to location under system config data directory.
  • Added keybinding for ‘lxpanelctl menu’ on Alt+F1, the same as it is in GNOME and Lubuntu.
  • Added keybinding to launch gnome-screenshot when PrintScreen is pressed.
  • Installation: updated autogen.sh to support automake > 1.11.
  • Changed default distribution tarball format to xz instead of gzip.

Menu-Cache 0.7.0 released.

We are sorry that news come to you late but that’s how it is. Yet in very beginning of this autumn next feature release of library that supports cached access to XDG-compliant desktop menus happened.
New release tarball download link:
menu-cache-0.7.0.tar.xz – SHA1: da29b2dabad0c5fff4d0a9771dff3425038166fa

Changes since previous release 0.6.1 (see git log for details):

  • Added bit of support for multiple supported cache file versions, using CACHE_GEN_VERSION environment variable to the generator. This may be useful in future when 1.2 cache file version will be implemented.
  • The menu-cache-gen libexec binary is rewritten from scratch. No that Red Hat / GNOME code anymore. New menu-cache-gen uses libfm-extra XML manipulation functions therefore it is required now for build.
  • Added a parameter for menu-cached to specify socket path instead of calculating one, that is definitely more safe.
  • Libmenu-cache handles menu-cached failure more gracefully now, don’t tries to restart it so fast that it clones many times.
  • Fixed menu-cached crash after menu-cache-gen failure.
