- Update to Version 0.19
+ Bug Fixes
* don't throw an exception if $XAUTHFILE / ~/.Xauthority is missing
* fix authentication work-around for SSH forwarding under Python 3
* improve $DISPLAY handling: support optional protocol prefix, and
correctly handle `unix:0.0` as `:0.0`
- Update to Version 0.18
+ Bug Fixes
* fix Python 3 buffer abstraction
* fix interrupted select handling for Python 3.3/3.4
* fix Unix socket support when only an abstract address is available
- Update to Version 0.17
+ Bug Fixes
* fix Xauth handling when using Python 2 and DISPLAY contains a remote IP
* fix String16 request field handling when using Python 3
* fix RECORD extension and example when using Python 3
* fix handling of properties: use byte strings for all X11 8-bits
strings, as not all of them are text properties (the window
getters/setters for wm_name, wm_icon_name, wm_class, and
wm_client_machine still return/expect Unicode strings)
+ API Changes
* Core:
> new window getter/setter for text properties: get_full_text_property
and change_text_property; with automatic conversion to/from Unicode
when the property type encoding is supported (STRING and UTF8_STRING)
* Composite extension:
> support for GetOverlayWindow request
- Update to Version 0.16
+ Licensing
* The project is now licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License
v2.1 or later (see the LICENSE file for details).
+ Compatibility
* Support for Python versions older than 2.7 has been dropped. Support for
Python 3 (3.3, 3.4 and 3.5) has been added. Note that Python-Xlib now
depends on the six package (>=1.10) for combined Python 2 / 3 support.
+ API Changes
* With the change of license, and no way to contact the original author of
the SHAPE extension, the code had to be rewritten from scratch. This
resulted in a few minor API changes (see examples/shapewin.py).
* Partial support for the SECURITY. XInput, and XFIXES extensions has been
added.
+ Bug Fixes
* fix RECORD extension
* fixed OS X socket path
* fix handling of generic events
* fix handling of KeymapNotify events
* several fixes for the RandR extension
- Update to Version 0.15rc1
+ Composite extension
* Support for the composite extension, used to implement a composition
manager (added for plcm work in plwm).
+ XF86 special function keysyms
* Keysym definitions for special function keys found on modern
keyboards, e.g. raise and lower volume, start specific applications,
etc. Have a look in Xlib/keysymdef/xf86.py to see what there are and
experiment with xev to see what your keyboard generates. These
definitions aren't brought in by default, so you must do this after
importing Xlib.XK:
* Xlib.XK.load_keysym_group('xf86')
+ RANDR extension
* The RANDR extension complements XINERAMA as a way of getting data about the
physical screens making up a virtual screen in X. An example of usage can
be found in examples/xrandr.py.
