cwm github update

Unread post by DebianJoe » Thu Dec 12, 2013 4:03 pm

So, the repo at https://github.com/chneukirchen/cwm was updated yesterday. It looks to be all code-cleaning and movements into XClass struct mods. There are a few places where longs replaced ints (I'm assuming there must have been an error due to overflow...but that's just a guess.)

The new version builds and works fine as far as I have been able to see.

"All clear to update local source!"

Ok, to revisit this. cwm moved from 5.1 to 5.5 earlier this year. The current build from Christian Neukirchen is working (as per the updates in October). I had a transitional branch from the CVS where windows that were hidden would not return although the process remained alive.

Just rebuilt for my new (lol, "new" as in Pentium M, 2GB RAM) daily driver. No visible issues so far.

The final reasoning for the changes and all updates can be read in the included README, and assuming that you're using keycodes instead of keysyms, then you may see some breakage due to your config.

Edit: no changes SHOULD affect the current linuxbbq cwm/.cwmrc github files.
