See TODO, README, README.pam, and ChangeLog
wdm-1.28 -- Mar 27 2005
- problem with xdmcp not working properly if there's
ipv6 network packet was fixed
(thanks to Jennifer Elaan <[email protected]>)
- welsh translation added (by Kevin Donnelly <[email protected]>)
- several file-descriptor leaks were fixed
wdm-1.27 -- Feb 28 2004
- french translation added (by Mathieu Roy <[email protected]>)
- SELinux support added (by Tom Vogt <[email protected]>)
- some FreeBSD compatibility issue fixed
- some minor bugs fixed
- ExitLogin item removed from menu in wdmLogin by default.
to reenable it use --enable-exitlogin
wdm-1.26 -- Sep 18 2003
- more options in wdmLogin-config file
- development of wdmPrefs and wdmChooser programs
started.
- en locale is now different from C locale. [that trick
allowed to remove last compile-time warning]
- wdm now compiles with -Wall -Werror. :)
- install target of Makefile.in fixed
- daemon mode works again
- fixed problem with wdm not reacting to signals sent
to process with pid written to pid file.
- spanish translation added
(by Manolo Padron Martinez <[email protected]>)
- czech translation added
(by Vladimir Nadvornik <[email protected]>)
- parts of code dealing with streams (-DSTREAMSCONN)
DECnet (-DDNETCONN) and Chaos was completely removed
from wdm sources. More unused code will be removed later
- xdm source tree removed from wdm tarball.
- fixed problem with pam (same as in kdm)
wdm-1.25 -- Jun 06 2003
- removed call to wstrndup function, that appeared only
in post 0.80.1 cvs snapshots.
- fixed bug in Makefile.in, that caused generation of .mo files
even without msgfmt program.
- added workaround for bug in libfontconfig, which caused wdmLogin
to crash.
- added geometry option for wdmLogin. It was placed in wdmLogin-config
file. see INSTALL for more info.
- added support for antialiaesed fonts. New options was placed
in wdmLogin-config file.
Note two new options for configure script: --with-fakeroot and
--enable-aafont.
If you enable antialiased fonts, then expect first run to be very
long. That's because fontconfig will build cache of fonts.
wdm-1.24 -- Jun 01 2003
- pixmaps have been moved to /usr/share/pixmaps/wdm by default.
You can always specify other locations with --with-gfxdir option
to configure script (patch by Julio Merino <[email protected]>)

all messages from wdm to syslog or to file.
- option to select on which display login panel will appear
when using xinerama
(with help from Carlos Torres <[email protected]>).
- configure.ac rewritten. It may stop working on some systems.
Report me if you have such system. All graphics format
detection code removed. wdm never uses this libraries directly
only via libwraster.
- added basic support for xcursor_themes (for XFree86 4.3.0,
see description of wdmCursorTheme resource in wdm man page).
- translations fixed. now all "... failed" messages displayed
correctly.
wdm-1.23 -- Mar 31 2003
- ChangeLog is now generated from repository history.
Old ChangeLog is saved as ChangeLog.old.
- man page fixed. There was references to xdm everywhere. :)
- default help message translated.
- started process of separation wdmLogin configuration file
from wdm configuration file.
- lots of internal improvements in wdmLogin.
- german translation added
(by Michael Buesch <[email protected]>)
- fixes for animations in wdmLogin
(by Michael Buesch <[email protected]>)
There's traces of ongoing development like libwdm. It's not
used now in any sources, but will be used in some of future
versions.
wdm-1.22.1 -- Feb 20 2003
There was a bug. I forgot to change pam service name
from xdm to wdm. This release fixes it.
wdm-1.22 -- Feb 09 2003
- xdm-base upgraded to xdm from XFree86-4.2.1.
- wdmLogin translated to russian and japanese.
Now, what will be in next releases:
- compatibility with ancient versions of WINGs
will be dropped.
- configuration files will be changed to PropList
format (If you want to arue, mail me or chat with me at
#wdm on irc.ornet.ru, or #windowmaker on irc.freenode.net)
- wdm <-> wdmLogin protocol will be changed to implement
better PAM support.
wdm-1.21 -- Jan 07 2003
- development started again. This release collects almost
all patches I can find on net. If you have more patches
please send them.
- directories rearranged, build system rewritten (see
README.voins for explanations).
- everything is ready to start migration to newer xdm base.
wdm-1.20 -- Feb 29 2000
- a problem which forbid for some wdm's resources to be set
differently for multiple displays was corrected.
- a problem with incorrect user permissions being set on
devices (e.g. mixer) was corrected by replacing some
xdm-3.3.2 code with xdm-3.3.6. I think all the xdm stuff
definitely should be updated to the latest version.
- a problem with random wdm hangs under at least FreeBSD
was corrected.
- more detailed installation instructions are given for
Linux systems. Feel free to send anything useful for other systems.
- some messages weren't centered one to each other on the login panel,
this looked ugly.
wdm-1.19 -- Sep 21 1999
- a security problem was present when using the default
username and password: they were passed in clear on wdmLogin's
command line whenever wdm launched wdmLogin. Now wdm reads them
as before, but uses them internally instead of passing them
to wdmLogin which passed them back to wdm: it was stupid
and was a big security hole, so it's corrected now. ENJOY.
- a Makefile problem caused wdm-login to not be created at all.
This problem was only noticed by new users. It works fine now.
wdm-1.18 -- Sep 16 1999
- a problem about login name length was corrected
- a default username / default password can now be
set in wdm-config. USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION AND
WITH A VERY RESTRICTED ACCOUNT (e.g. no shell, etc...)
ELSE YOU COULD VERY WELL OPEN A HUGE SECURITY HOLE TO
ANYONE WHO HAS A PHYSICAL ACCESS TO THE MACHINE.
AND DON'T FORGET TO: chmod 600 wdm-config
chown root.root wdm-config
wdm-1.17 -- Sep 8 1999
- user environnement settings in /etc/login.conf now
propagate correctly to the client session.
- some modifications were done to compile for Irix.
- a problem about libz and libpng when configuring
was corrected.
- some cleanups to the source trees and the code.
wdm-1.16 -- Jul 7 1999
- GFX_LIB_PATH and GFX_INC_PATH now
are set correctly in configure.
wdm-1.15 -- Jul 6 1999
- the pixmaps weren't installed anymore,
now it's corrected.
- wdm's Xsession didn't load X resources
before running ~user/.xsession but after.
- a mailing list was set up (see README)
wdm-1.14 -- Jul 1 1999
- the warning when compiling TestLogin.c is gone
- cosmetic changes to the doc
- the primary site from 1.1 and above becomes:
http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/WindowMaker/wdm/
wdm-1.13 -- Jun 30 1999
- the tab key now moves from username to password and back
- the debian patches to allow MD5 passwords have been incorporated
wdm-1.12 -- Jun 18 1999
- the configure script seems to be corrected now
wdm-1.11 -- Jun 18 1999
- the login panel now has the focus
wdm-1.1 -- Jun 11 1999
- modified the sources to work with WindowMaker 0.60
- fixed a buffer overflow bug in Login.c
- added the support for None in the window managers list
to allow only NoChange to be displayed
- added the support for external help file to be displayed in
the help panel
- modified the manpages accordingly
wdm-1.0 -- Sep 13 1998
- added support for GIF (both libgif and libungif)
- add check for libtiff34 as well as libtiff
- "RollUp" animation finalized as diagonal
- wdm Xresourses now cleaned up when Xsession is started
- to simlify configuration/installation on FreeBSD, -lXt is
now included (will not hurt even if it is not used)
- bugfixes
- configuration changes to make it easier to install and run
wdm on different systems
- minor changes in the "look" of the login and help panels to
make them a bit more symetrical.
wdm-0.90 -- beta eight, pre Rel 1.0, Sep 06 1998
- wdmReconfig for rpm install auto update of Xclients and wdm-config
- adjust Login panel's "look" to make it more symetrical
- new "rollup" .. diagonal
- many changes to ./configure to make it more system independent
- added --with-local for using /usr/local/{bin,include,lib}
appropriately
- made --enable-debug handle WINGs debug also
- more into in INSTALL
- some bugfixes
wdm-0.18 -- beta seven -- Aug 29 1998
- new look for the panel ... both "flatter" and 3d as well.
- help now uses a scrolled view for the text and a single button
is used to open and close the help panel.
- many changes to configure for different systems
- bugfixes
- new ./configure options --with-winmgr to specify arbitrary
windowmanager
- new wdmAnimations Xresource to enable/disable shake and rollup
animations
- changed wdmBg Xresource so that if it is missing of has the value
none, then the background is not set (the user can still set it via
other means)
- chooser is no longer compiled by wdm .. it was not installed
anyway.
wdm-0.12 -- beta six -- Aug 24 1998
- ./configure will now look for a number of window managers and
use the found path in Xclients. It also build WMLIST based on
the found window managers. This can continue to be overriden by
the --with-wmlist=<...> option.
- added Xsession.XFree86 example.
- INSTALL and README so that INSTALL now contains the
configuration and installation information
- ./configure --with-wmlist=<...> can be used to specify
a list of optional window managers which the user can specify.
The list is placed into wdm-config. The default (if
not specified is wmaker:afterstep
- ./configure --with-Logo=<...> can be used to specify
alternate file (from .../wdm/pixmaps directory) to be
used as the Logo.
- The Logo will now try to keep the aspect ratio the same
as the original image. Smaller images are not resized.
The resulting image is centered in the Logo area.
- some configure parameters changed to lower case:
--with-wdmdir=, --with-defuserpath= and
--withsystempath=
wdm 0.11 - Aug 20 1998 Gene Czarcinski
- fifth public beta ... first release next
- more porting stuff so this can be compiled on other systems
- updated Login so it will work with both WINGs 980730
(WindowMaker 0.18.1b) and WINGs 980722 (WindowMaker 0.17.5)
- When compiled with WINGs 980730, the Password Text Entry area
uses the new "Secure" mode which displays better
- The default distributed mode for the wdmVeryify xresources is
true -- this requires entering a valid username/password
when performing Reboot/Halt/ExitLogin.
