Fvamw-crystal-3.6.6 is out !
This is a bug fix and new features release:
-
Fix libreofficce icons styles.
-
New addons/Xdefaults.no_transparency and Xresources.no_transparency files;
they add support for non transparent terminals.
-
Fix the size of the desktop manager (Icons on dekstop).
The widget was too big verticaly, which could be an issue when configured to display a lot of icons.
-
Add complete EWMH support for the size and the placement of the desktop manager.
This fix collision with the magic button bar of the Custom recipe.
I never constated such collision, but it was possible in theory.
Anyway, this should be fixed now and this support, plus the geometry fix, make the visual to lock better.

Enjoy!

Version 3.7.6
This release is a new features and major bug fixes release.
- It introduce universal physical constants of the universe into FVWM-Crystal and is therefore dedicated to the One that made it possible, Pr. Marc Henry, and that release is named Universe.
It is 2 new settings into the Speed Music Menu for alsaplayer and mplayer:
A 432 and A 429.62. Most songs song are tuned at A=440 Hz, and they will detune it to A=432 Hz (because folks use it) or A=429.62 Hz. That last diapason was calculated by Prof. Marc Henry and Sylvain Bridoux. The A4 = 429.62 Hz value is based on the universal physical constants of our universe and on the mass of the water molecule H²O, the most abondant molecule in the universe and our bodies. See “Symmetry, Music and Water”:

The fixes includes fixes for the desktop icons (Preferences → Desktop Manager - FVWM-Crystal) after Restart, confused button when Show Partition was off, and not showing partitions when the user have no access rights on them.
The Exit menu was reworked to support systemctl (systemd), logind (gentoo version for openrc) and pm-utils.
On some distributions (Debian sid, Ubuntu,…), hibernation may fail to works when Secure Boot is enabled in the bios, but that issue concern the kernel (WIP) and is out of the scope of FVWM-Crystal.
Internals: The Exec accelerators was reworked to be in sync with current systems and should be faster to maintain on the long run.
A lot of other fixes. See ChangeLog for the details.
