Change logs for tickr source package in Quantal

  • tickr (0.6.4-1~ubuntu12.10.1) quantal-backports; urgency=low
    
      * No-change backport to quantal (LP: #1184373)
    
    tickr (0.6.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * In pref windows, some setting changes (like 'read n items per feed')
        need the stream to be reloaded, so now we use:
          current_feed();
        instead of:
          update_pixmap_from_opened_stream();
    
      * Fix 'quick feed picker (selected feeds) closes when pointer leaves
        win area' and implement it as a setting.
    
      * In pref window, disabling screen limits updates win_y and win_w
        limits on the fly.
    
      * Max options number now set to 128.
    
      * Pref win changes:
        - remove 'system' colors buttons
        - increase gtk table row spacings
    
      * If gradient bg set, compute text shadow color no longer from
        bg_color but from gradient.
    
      * Quick feed picker (selected feeds) closes when pointer leaves win
        area. Plus: quick feed picker opened *also* by Ctrl + mouse
        right-click.
    
      * Complete RSS 1.0 support (Closes: #688099) and fix/rewrite a few
        things in feed parser code.
    
      * In tickr_feedparser.c: ending '\n' removed when adding string to
        XML_DUMP (left when adding string to XML_DUMP_EXTRA).
    
      * Replace update_win_dims() with update_win_dims_and_loc() so that if
        ticker location happens to be wrong, it's always and quickly reset.
    
      * Add RSS 1.0 (RDF) support.
    
      * In tickr_main.c / main(), change:
          gtk_widget_show_all(env->win);
          update_win_dims();
          gtk_main();
        to:
          gtk_widget_show_all(env->win);
          gtk_widget_set_size_request(env->win, 1, 1);
          gtk_window_resize(GTK_WINDOW(env->win), 1, 1);
          gtk_main();
        to try to get rid of "ghost" square window at startup (but is this
        fully effective ?)
        Also change:
          gtk_widget_set_size_request(env->win, 0, 0)
        to:
          gtk_widget_set_size_request(env->win, 1, 1)
        in update_win_dims().
    
      * In feed picker - multiple selection mode: start reading selection
        with highlighted feed - more exactly url in entry (if any) / first
        one otherwise.
    
      * Remove (useless ?) app version number from exported OPML feed list
        title.
    
      * Only a little editor issue - some editors get confused (geany colors
        get confused) by things like:
          THIS_IS_A_#DEFINE"____string____"
        so now we put a space in between, like this:
          THIS_IS_A_#DEFINE "____string____"
    
      * If win_w = 0, win_w = detected screen width (same as 'full width'
        but from command line).
    
      * Fix xml namespaces issue in tickr_feedparser.c, when, for instance,
        'media:title' exists along with 'title' and we then get 'title'
        twice. Now, we make sure no extra namespace is used before comparing
        strings with 'title', 'description', etc.
    
      * Fix stupid bug in format_resource() 'translate html entities' when
        '&' alone is detected (ie without a following ';'). Also fix
        'translating' numerical entities with leading '0' in value string.
    
      * New option 'disablescreenlimits' which allows win_y and win_w to be
        greater than screen dimensions.
    
      * A few default settings changed.
    
      * Gradient bg.
    
    tickr (0.6.3-1) experimental; urgency=low
    
      * Fix messy update_everything() function and add new
        update_pixmap_from_opened_stream() function, used in tickr_mainc.c
        and tickr_prefwin.c.
    
      * All *string* values are now saved inclosed in a pair of " or '.
        (This avoid getting trailing whitespaces removed by some editors,
        and other weird things like that.) When read, enclosing " or ' are
        removed, so backward compatibility is preserved.
    
      * install-on-win32 script renamed build-on-win32 (for accuracy sake.)
    
      * Fix some confusion about win_transparency in tickr_param.c.
        Actually, double value from 0.1 to 1.0 inside program / int value
        from 1 to 10 inside config file or as command line argument.
    
      * Fix settings import doing nothing (regression bug).
    
      * In show_resource_info(), fix URL link and GTK label.
    
      * Move and set:
          #define N_STR_MAX		8
          #define STR_MAXLEN	FILE_NAME_MAXLEN	(128 previously)
        and remove duplicates.
    
      * In tickr_feedpicker.c, add:
          if (IS_FLIST(flist_bak))
            (  f_list_free_all(flist_bak);  )
        to fix: list crash (f_list_free_all(): Invalid node in list) after
        adding a feed to an empty list (when clicking OK).
    
      * Rename (#define RESOURCE_DUMP) APP_CMD"-resrc-dump" ->
        APP_CMD"-resrc-dump.xml" (because it *is* an XML file.)
    
      * Little changes in big_error() text.

  • tickr (0.6.3-1~ubuntu12.10.1) quantal-backports; urgency=low
    
      * No-change backport to quantal (LP: #1128947)
    
    tickr (0.6.3-1) experimental; urgency=low
    
      * Fix messy update_everything() function and add new

  • tickr (0.6.2-1) experimental; urgency=low
    
    
      * Non standard feed rank support in OPML file.
    
      * Add new optional 'feed re-ordering by user' feature.
    
      * Add in libetm-0.4.4/str_mem.c/h: (int) str_is_num(const char *) and
        (int) str_is_blank(const char *).
    
      * In feed picker win, 'enter' in (rank_/url_)entry launches 'add/upd'
        (GTK_RESPONSE_ADD) instead of 'ok (single)' (GTK_RESPONSE_SINGLE).
    
      * Question at program start-up about new feed list format conversion:
        if version = 0.6.2 and feed list exists and feed list backup doesn't
        exist, create backup and convert to new format.
    
      * In tickr_feedpicker.c: fix 'cancel' action.
    
      * New func FList *f_list_clone(FList *) in tickr_list/c/h.
    
      * Use GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL_CLOSE only.
    
      * In compute_surface_and_win(), remove:
          if (prm->icon_in_taskbar == 'n')
            gtk_window_deiconify(GTK_WINDOW(env->win));
        from update_win_dims() (why was it there?) to fix 'tickr keeps
        stealing focus' bug. Also replace params_have_been_changed() with
        win_params_have_been_changed(). (LP: #900759, #951452, #1017107)
    
      * Fix (regression bug) segfault which occurs when opening text file
        and attempting to 'format_resource()' 'not-generated-if-resource-is-
        file' XML_DUMP_EXTRA file.
    
      * Libetm version 0.4.3 -> 0.4.4 (see below.)
    
      * Add get_appdata-dir_w() in libetm-0.4.4:win32_specific.c and
        get_appdata_dir_utf8() in tickr_resource.c to fix non-ascii (for
        instance cyrillic) user name in app data dir issue on win32.
        Also remove seemingly useless g_win32_locale_filename_from_utf8()
        stuff on win32.
    
      * If 'item title' and 'item description' both unchecked in pref win,
        warn about 'pointless' setup and ask for confirmation before saving
        config.
    
      * Add new TickerEnv member (int) mouse_x_in_drwa used to continuously
        tracks (guess what?) mouse x position. Now we have:
        - tooltips with descriptions when ticker displays only titles
        and
        - tooltips with titles when ticker displays only descriptions.
    
      * Add fp_extra stuff in tickr_feedparser.c to get item titles /
        descriptions (in tooltips and others) when they are no displayed.
    
      * Remove tmp files when exiting tickr_resource.c:format_resource().
    
      * Add env->c_surf test in shift2left_callback(). (LP: #1011316)

  • tickr (0.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Add: 'quick setup' thing (in tickr_quicksetup.c) which is launched
        at program startup if config file doesn't exist.
    
      * Little improvements in layout of 'feed picker win' and 'preferences
        win'.
    
      * Fix a segfault that happens when trying to export params and no
        config file exists yet.
    
      * Make several windows that should not be resized by user, unresizable.
    
      * Fix Launchpad bug #1007346: When 'window always-on-top' is disabled,
        'visible on all user desktops' stops working.
    
      * If mouse wheel scrolling applies to speed (or feed), then Ctrl +
        mouse wheel scrolling applies to feed (or speed.)
    
      * No real code changes in libetm, only in comments, so no need for a
        new version number.
    
      * Update tickr_helptext.c and tickr.1 (man page.)
    
      * Add new cli option 'no-ui' (similar to 'instance-id') used by new
        IF_UI_ALLOWED macro and remove all #if USE_GUI occurences.
    
      * In tickr_list.c, free listfname before using it. Fixed by swapping 2
        lines:
          warning(FALSE, 4, "Can't save URL list ", listfname, ...);
          l_str_free(listfname);
    
      * Use/add #define
          FONT_MAXLEN		68
          ARBITRARY_TASKBAR_HEIGHT	25
        to replace a few 'magic' numeric values.
    
      * Rename: rss_title/description(_delimiter) ->
          item_title/description(_delimiter)
        then add new param: feed_title(_delimiter). Now we have:
        feed title / item title / item description.
    
      * Use table in resource properties window.
    
      * Fix a bug in f_list_load_from_file() in tickr_list.c which
        uncorrectly retrieves any feed title string containing TITLE_TAG_CHAR
        when TITLE_TAG_CHAR has not been removed from string first, for
        instance: 'NYT > World' -> ' World'.
    
      * New param: disable left-click.
    
      * Add 'check for updates' feature.
    
      * Launch 'import OPML file' if feed list doesn't exist.
    
      * Remove code changing get_params()->disable_popups value in
          START/END_PAUSE_TICKER_WHILE_OPENING
        macros which prevents this setting to be saved and add
          START/END_PAUSE_TICKER_ENABLE_POPUPS_WHILE_OPENING
        new macros. Which ones to use depends on context.
    
      * Move:
          #ifdef G_OS_WIN32
          extern FILE	*stdout_fp, *stderr_fp;
          #endif
        from *.c into tickr.h.
    
      * Default always-on-top setting changed to 'n' (so that tickr is not
        intrusive by default.)

  • tickr (0.6.0-2) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Complete quick_feed_picker() stuff in tickr_quickfeedpicker.c.
    
      * Swap win32 log files every hour to prevent generating huge ones.
        Finally fix an old bug on win32.
    
      * Several little improvements/fixes in tickr_feedpicker.c.
    
      * New type FList (feed doubly-linked list) and associated functions
        f_list_*() in tickr_list.c. Will replace confusing: char url_array[] /
        char *p_url[] / char **p_url stuff in: tickr_main.c, tickr_feedpicker.c,
        tickr_opml.c and tickr_resource.c.
    
      * Renaming 2 src files:
        - tickr_rss.c -> tickr_feedparser.c
        - tickr_rsswin.c -> tickr_feedpicker.c
    
      * Add new func: win_with_progress_bar() (in tickr_otherwins.c) and use
        it in feed list import thing (in tickr_opml.c) instead of
        not-spinning-as-expected win_with_spinner().
    
      * When opening the feed picker dialog, highlight and scroll to current
        feed, plus several extra fixes and tweaks (in tickr_rsswin.c.)
    
      * Add new func: highlight_and_go_to_row() (in tickr_quickfeedpicker.c.)
    
      * Add new func: get_feed_index_in_selection() (in tickr_resource.c.)
    
      * Add new module and func: tickr_quickfeedpicker.c: quick_feed_picker().
    
      * Add new func: question_win_at().
    
      * Move 'Import/Export Preferences' from 'File' to 'Edit' in menu layout.
    
      * Check/improve tickr_socket.c code and move typedefs, prototypes,
        error codes, ... for tickr_socket.c into tickr_socket.h for
        modularity sake.
    
      * Pause tickr (on mouse-over AND) when popup menu is opened.
    
      * Change big_error() function (and prototype in libetm-0-4.3) to
        handle variable number of args / change warning() the same way.
    
      * Add new func: try_str_to_utf8() in tickr_rss.c
        -> try to fix string when utf-8 validation fails.
    
      * Add new func: remove_trailing_whitespaces_from_str(char *) in
        libetm-0.4.3/str_mem.c.
    
      * Change SEND_RECV_TIMEOUT to SEND_RECV_TIMEOUT_SEC and
        SEND_RECV_TIMEOUT_USEC.
    
      * Change main window title:
        'app name and version num  |  feed title / file name'
        ->
        'feed title / file name  |  app name and version num'
    
      * In libetm-0.4.3:
        - Compile with win32_specific.c only on win32 (fix empty unit
          warning.)
        - get_libetm_version() (function name modified.)
    
      * Fix a typo in debian/control Build-Depends:
        'debhelper (>= 7.O.50~)' instead of 'debhelper (>= 7.0.50~)'
        which only shows up when trying to build for Lucid.
    
      * Split tickr_http.c into tickr_http.c and tickr_socket.c.
    
      * libetm-0.4.2 -> libetm-0.4.3:
        Replace KB, MB, GB, TB with KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB.
