Releases: lcarsde/lcarswm
23.2
23.1
This release features comes with a slight redesign of the UI. It also handles windows that are transient for root as special windows. This includes for instance on-screen-keyboards. There is now also a mode button to switch between normal and maximized mode using mouse or touch. Therefor the adjustments for pure touchscreen use are now complete. (Checkout the onscreen keyboard onboard together with the lcarsde color theme.)
Additionally, there was a huge reconstruction under the hood in order to handle dependencies between the window manager parts a bit easier. Also the launching for the automatically started applications has been adjusted. Both of these changes fix a lot of the crashes during startup.
The formerly used autostart file is now ignored. If you used that, you need to create desktop-files for the started applications instead.
Finally, the DEB-files are now built for Ubuntu 22.04.
Checkout the changelog for details and enjoy the new release.
Version 22.1
I'm happy to announce a new version of lcarswm! What's in it?
The two most important changes are these:
- The autostart file is deprecated! It will still work, but the right way to go is now *.dektop files in /etc/xdg/autostart and ~/.config/autostart. The newest versions of the lcarsde tool applications already bring their desktop files with them.
- There is an experimental build for aarch64. This should allow to build for Raspberry PI 4 (given enough memory). There is no feedback on that yet, so if you try it, please let us now if it works or whether there are any issues.
The rest is bug fixes, an update to Kotlin 1.6.0 and logging to standard out. Check the changelog for details.
Enjoy the new lcarswm!
Version 21.3
Version 21.3 of lcarswm is here. The following things have changed since the last version:
- Feature: Windows can now be from monitor to monitor using the mouse
- Feature: There are new actions window-move-next and window-move-previous as alternatives to the existing up / down actions
- Change of behavior: monitors are now internally ordered according to their y and x position in order to move them easier between monitors using the keyboard based move actions
- Bug fix: the cursor is correctly initialized on startup
- Bug fix: The corners of the drawn frame are now anti-aliased
- Internal: Update to Kotlin 1.5.10
Enjoy the new lcarswm release!
Version 21.2
Version 21.2 of lcarswm is here. This is mostly a fix version, making lcarswm a lot more stable and fun to use. The few but important changes are:
- Some Linuxes don't have a /usr/lib folder but instead use /usr/lib64. The build process will now also consider these directories.
- A bug has been fixed that caused empty windows to appear.
- Forward window toggling behaves now as it usually does everywhere else
- Backward window toggling has been added, using the default key combination: Alt+Shift+Tab
Enjoy this new lcarswm release!
lcarswm 21.1
Release 21.1 of lcarswm is a bug fix release that fixes a memory leak. Aside from that the default autostart has been adjusted to the new status-bar application.
Have fun :D
lcarswm 20.3
Release 20.3 of lcarswm is here :D
There's added support for a status bar and it's running on Kotlin 1.4.*. Is that all? Well, for the lcarswm there are mostly some internal changes bus not much, we cleaned up a little, but the major things happened around the window manager. Python sources got extracted to their own repositories and lcarsde is now there as well, woohoo.
Check out the Changelog for all the changes.
