Release notes 

AllTray 0.7.3dev is a development and testing release of the AllTray software. New for 0.7.3dev:

 - KDE applications and OpenOffice.org, as well as other shell-script started software now works under AllTray.
 - The Vala requirement (if you modify any of the *.vala files) is now Vala, from git master plus one pending patch that has been submitted to the Vala mailing list (to fix the Posix bindings).
 - “Attach Mode”, which is similar but superior to AllTray 0.70 and prior's “Click Mode”.

Known outstanding issues:

 - Clicking on the window manager's close button for the window is not intercepted by AllTray yet. This functionality, or functionality that is similar to it, is planned for the 0.7.4dev release.

Fixed bugs include at least LP bug numbers: 315707, 356516, 357468, 368274, 382083, 382548; there are more that were fixed in this cycle, but those are the bigger ones and the only ones that were specifically targeted. I'll try to track this better in the future.

 Subprocess support.

 This enables AllTray to support processes spawned from a shell script
 (in other words, we can attach to grandchildren now, instead of just
 our children).

 This doesn't work for OpenOffice.org, because while it is our
 grandchild when it starts, the child dies before the grandchild's
 window appears, and so OOo winds up with a ppid of 1, which defeats us
 trying to attach to it. The workaround is to use attach mode to
 attach to it once it's already running.

2009-05-31 Michael B. Trausch <email address hidden>

 * src/Makefile.am:

 Fix the build system to make it more efficient.

 This change uses the SOURCES_BUILT variable which is special to
 automake to process the Vala files differently and more efficiently.
 Things should only be rebuilt when needed now, and Vala sources will
 only be built once instead of some strange arbitrary number of times
 by make.

 * configure.ac:
 * src/Application.vala:
 * src/unix_process.c:
 * src/unix_process/linux_process_info.c:

 Enabled Linux-specific PPID/name retrieval code.

 When starting up, we have to sometimes look for processes that we did
 not expect to have to look for and get information on their process
 ID, parent process ID, and program name.

 The code that permits this to happen is enabled now, and used by
 Application.vala. This has the unfortunate effect of increasing our
 dependency set over and above POSIX a little bit, and this is not good
 because we lose portability. As soon as possible, implementations to
 do what we're doing for Linux need to be done for other UNIX-like
 systems that AllTray can reasonably run on (e.g., systems that GNOME
 runs on), such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris...

 MonoDevelop can now be run under AllTray. Unfortunately, it doesn't
 seem that way for OpenOffice.org, though there may be a way to handle
 that situation (where the shell script dies before the program
 actually opens any windows, is what it looks like).

2009-05-31 Michael B. Trausch <email address hidden>

 * src/Makefile.am:

 It builds, it builds!

 * src/Process.vala:

 Fix compiler warning (unreachable code). My stupid mistake.

2009-05-31 Michael B. Trausch <email address hidden>

 * vapi/unix_process.vapi:
 * src/Application.vala:
 * src/Makefile.am:

 Tie-in the process helper.

 This hooks in the unix_process code as the ProcessInfo object in
 AllTray, which can get process information on known platforms.

2009-05-30 Michael B. Trausch <email address hidden>

 * src/unix_process:
 * src/unix_process.c:
 * src/unix_process.h:
 * src/unix_process/linux_process_info.c:
 * src/Makefile.am:

 Added files to handle getting process information.

 This patch provides the code to get process information for arbitrary
 processes on various UNIX and UNIX-like systems. For the moment, only
 the GNU/Linux operating system is actually supported, and this code
 has not yet been wired into Application.vala for use.

 I don't have any other UNIX or UNIX-like systems to implement this on,
 so implementations for FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, and your
 favorite UNIX or UNIX-like system near you are appreciated.

 to attach AllTray to a running process by stating which process
 (by PID), say "alltray -p XXX", where XXX is the process ID.

 See the man page for info.

2009-04-08 Michael B. Trausch <email address hidden>

 * src/AllTray.vala:

 attach-to-process (-p, --process) now works; applications
 such as Thunderbird can be started by doing:

 thunderbird & sleep 5; alltray --process $(pgrep thunderbird-bin)

 Also, this means that AllTray can attach to a process given
 its PID, so long as it obeys the specs.
