Software-update: AfterStep 2.2.8

AfterStep is een desktopomgeving voor Unix-achtige besturingssystemen en is oorspronkelijk gebaseerd op de look & feel van NeXTStep. Het wordt ontwikkeld met als uitgangspunt de gebruiker een strakke en elegante desktopomgeving te bieden die makkelijk aan te passen is en weinig systeemresources verbruikt. De ontwikkelaars hebben onlangs versie 2.2.8 de deur uitgedaan. De volledige lijst met veranderingen is op de mailing lijst na te lezen, de bijbehorende aankondiging ziet er als volgt uit:

AfterStep 2.2.8 Release Announcement

Major bug fixes this go-around:

• ASDocGen recursion fixed - the BSDs were especially affected by this.
• Man pages don't have spaces in the names now - was causing build issues on some distros.
• Fixed the broken "Restart Session" occurring on some distros/builds.
• Added bugs.afterprojects.org to the "About AfterStep" menu; we now have a consolidated place for tracking issues and getting status updates.
• GTK dialog listings are now alphabetized; ASWallpaper ("Picture Manager") is much easier to use now that the files are ordered.
• Short-lived windows are ignored when saving to workspace_state; AfterStep modules now stay where they're supposed to.
• Rxvt-Unicode added to ExecInTerm listing.
• Implemented possibility to define exact size of the virtual desktop, which may not be exact multiply of the screen size.
• Automatic detection and execution of text editors and web browsers in term if they require it.
• Added functionality to ascompose to allow for constantly updating display of stuff; command line should be:
  script.sh | ascompose -I --endless --click-timeout 0 -q -f -;
• Implemented functionality to setup slicing of frame sides and titlebar elements.
• Added functionality to ascompose to set XROOTPMAP property while changing root background.
• Added UnderPointer placement type to center window under mouse pointer on map.
• Added BlurSize option to MyStyles for blurring of transparent background. Use like so: BlurSize 10x20 will set horizontal blur to 10 pixels and vertical to 20.
• Many, many more bug-fixes, tweaks, repairs, optimizations, improvements, additions, enhancements, etc.
