|
||
per-screen. (Elijah) [#142198]
|
||

|
||
32-bit. This caused major slowdowns with Composite

||
- Fix the modifier key breakage introduced by an Xorg
|
||
change. (Soeren) [#151554]

|
||
focused, start alt tabbing with that window instead of the one
|
||
after it (Elijah) [#156251]
|
||
- Don't lower newly mapped windows when they're denied focus if they
|
||
are transients of the focused window. Instead, defocus the

||
currently focused window (Elijah) [#151996]
|

2.8.4
|

==
|
||
|
||
This release features a number of bug fixes, and also the disabling of
|
||
the focus-stealing-prevention code (we're entering hard code freeze in
|
||
Gnome so it's too late to fix the remaining issues, especially since
|
||
it requires several patches to modules other than Metacity).
|
||
|
||
Thanks to Havoc Pennington, Soeren Sandmann, Elijah Newren, and Rich
|
||
Wareham for fixes in this release
|
||
|

Fixes

||
* track the last_xor_rect, for wireframe painting (Havoc)
|
||
* Move wireframe code before grab is released to prevent endless
|
||
loops with fullscreen windows. (Soeren)
|
||
* Make dialogs that Metacity shows follow focus-stealing-prevention
|
||
conventions. (Elijah; part of #149028)
|
||
* add render extension check to the display, don't build the
|
||
compositing manager by default, use an ARGB visual when available
|
||
for the window frame (Rich Wareham; various tweaks added later by
|
||
Havoc)
|
||
* move the have_xrender variable initialization up in the file since
|
||
it can be set as part of composite check (Havoc)
|
||
* make argb stuff compile, add some code from xcompmgr (Havoc)
|
||
* fix an assertion failure that would occur after increasing the
|
||
number of workspaces; fix stacking order when a window is denied
|
||
focus (Elijah; #150615)
|
||
* disable some compositor code that wasn't working, don't grab the
|
||
server during repaint, various set_background fixes and
|
||
refactoring (Havoc)
