Changes for version 0.4 - 1997-07-06

  • second beta release (will probably hold here until Fvwm upgrades)
  • Some demos re-named to support a constant scheme: All demos start with "Perl" so that a single Style class can be applied to them. Those that also use Tk have names that start "PerlTk". This affected pDebug (now PerlDebug) and TkPerlConsole (now PerlTkConsole).
  • Docs cleaned up some.
  • Now package and ship three patches that are relevant to the implementation of this module, in a "patches" directory. Described in the CAVEATS section of X11::Fvwm.3.
  • P_PACKET_PASSALL was a do-nothing option (the nature of split and unpack already controlled the number of parts that a packet was broken down into). It has been removed, and P_ALL_OPTIONS updated.
  • Removed the "Stack Trace" button in Fvwm::Defaults.pm:TkFvwmError(): Duh, it's always called from the same sequence of routines (processPacket, etc.).
