= 2006-09-30
* Included 1.1.0 release of Ruby-IXP.
= 2006-09-29
* Fixed bug in toggle_maximize method (in rc.rb) due
to accessing a nonexistent file in IXP file system.
Thanks to Christian von Mueffling for reporting this bug.
* Fixed problem with reading
index (Wmii::Client#index) of
currently selected client.
* Wmii.find_client now accepts a variable number of places to be searched.
= 2006-09-28
* Added number_view_buttons method (in rc.rb) which numbers
the view buttons displayed on the bar, from left to right.
= 2006-09-27
* Included two main concurrency fixes for Ruby-IXP.
= 2006-09-24
* Added two-stage event handling,
to minimize the number of events
missed while processing an event.
= 2006-09-23
* Fixed event & status bar loop. It was forgotten when I transitioned
to the new Ixp::Node#method_missing behavior on 2006-09-22.
Thanks to Fredrik Ternerot for reporting this bug.
* When selecting views based on their first letter: if more than one
view matches, then they are cycled (adapted from Fredrik Ternerot).
* Added focus_view_matching method in rc.rb.
* Fixed errors that occurred when the tile and
diamond arrangements were applied to empty views.
= 2006-09-22
* Ixp::Node#method_missing now only dereferences files. Also,
the ! notation has been removed, as you can see below.

>> Wmii.fs.bar.status.data!
=> #<Ixp::Node:0xb7b377e4 @path="/bar/status/data!">
= 2006-09-21
* Fix some forgotten changes from show_menu() returning *nil*.
* Exception error message (xmessage) now lets you restart *wmiirc*.
* Updated event loop to generate less 9P traffic.
= 2006-09-20
* Included code from upcoming Ruby-IXP 1.1.0 release.
* Ixp::Node#method_missing now only dereferences a node
if the method is suffixed with an exclamation mark.
* show_menu now returns *nil* if nothing was chosen.
* Updated event loop for {wmii-3.1's /event overload bug
fix}[http://wmii.de/pipermail/wmii/2006-September/002718.html].
* Added explicit termination of already running instances
in *wmiirc* via Process.kill and `ps`, instead of using
/event as a means of coordinating said task.
= 2006-09-19
* Included Ruby-IXP 1.0.3 release.
* Added Ixp::Node#open method to reduce 9P traffic.
* Added ability to fetch a sub-node
via Ixp::Node#method_missing, while
not dereferencing it (reading its
contents if it is a file), by adding
an exclamation to the file name.
For example, consider the following output in *wmiish*.
>> Wmii.fs.bar.status.data
=> "Tue Sep 19 10:50:41 PDT 2006 | 0.30 0.43 0.29 | 1.7G 98% /home"
>> Wmii.fs.bar.status.data!
=> #<Ixp::Node:0xb7bf1f18 @path="/bar/status/data">
* *wmiirc* no longer automatically resumes from error. Instead,
it throws you a terminal and shows you the error details so
you have a chance to fix it and restart *wmiirc* yourself.
= 2006-09-18
* Included Ruby-IXP 1.0.2 release.
= 2006-09-17
* Added Wmii::View#empty? and Wmii::Area#empty? methods.
* change_tag_from_menu now returns the chosen tag.
* Included Ruby-IXP 1.0.1 release.
= 2006-09-16
* Fixed toggling of maximization
of currently focused client,
via toggle_maximize in rc.rb.
Thanks to Fredrik Ternerot for reporting this bug.
= 2006-09-15
* Added Wmii.get_view and Wmii.get_client
methods, to further minimize hard-coded
IXP file system paths. This will make it
easier to upgrade to wmii-4 later on.
* Fixed ruby-ixp to be internally buffered for Ixp#read.
* Event loop now uses Ixp#read instead of *wmiir*.
* Already running configurations now correctly
exit when another instance starts up.
= 2006-09-14
* Added ability to swap current client with the
currently focused client in any other column.
= 2006-09-13
* Reverted to *wmiir* for event loop, because
Ixp#read isn't internally buffered!
* Changed Wmii::View#each to Wmii::View#each_column because
floating area isn't a column (it doesn't have /mode file).
* Added shortcuts for setting layouts of all columns in current view.
* Added shortcuts for selection of current column.
* Fixed ability to terminate multiple clients.
= 2006-09-12
* Event loop now uses Ixp#read instead of *wmiir*.
* Already running configurations now correctly
exit when another instance starts up.
* Added Wmii::View#diamond! -- a diamond-shaped automated client arrangement.
* Added Wmii::Area#length= for setting number of clients in a column.
= 2006-09-11
* Added exception logging and recovery mechanism.
* wmiirc is now split into a loader
file (wmiirc) and a configuration
file (wmiirc-config.rb), just
like in the ruby-wmii project.
* IXPException' are no longer hidden away inside Ixp.
* Moved support for destructive area-operations
from Wmii#with_selection into Array#each so
that it is generally available.
= 2006-09-10
* Added wmiish--an interactive Ruby shell for controlling wmii.
* Lots of major refactoring in Ixp and Wmii.
* Moved utility methods from wmiirc into rc.rb.
= 2006-09-09
* Cleaned up IXP abstraction... now
multiple levels of method_missing
works, and so does self[sub_path]
* Wmii#with_selection now supports destructive area-operations.
* Update for compliance with new unique-client-id in filesystem patch.
= 2006-08-31
* Added facility which sends the selection
to temporary view or switches back again.
= 2006-08-30
* Add Wmii#with_selection method for operating on all clients in selection.
