[Wsmanager-devel] Seed of 0.5.1 :)

[Richard W. <rj...@ca...>]

OK Desktop Managher developers. Prepare to knacker your machines!

I've rolled most of the pending patches (including crash-related ones) into a 
new minor release, 0.5.1. Link to dmg below. Can you just have a play and 
chack I haven't totally screwed something up that will stop this being a 
release before I upload it to SourceForge/actually tell anyone.

Note that there are still loads of features people want but I thought it was 
important to get a bug-fix release out for 0.5.0.

Desktop Manager 0.5.1 Changelog:

 * Can now optionally display current desktop's name on desktop.
 * Mouse pointer warping is configurable.
 * Mouse pointer can not optionally move to centre of screen on 
   desktop switch.
 * Desktop pager can auto-hide (note there are still one or two 
   rendering bugs with this).
 * Can also open URLs with Command-Option-R.
 * Some memory-usage optimisations, still the possiblitiy of memory-leaks 
   in crusty old code, an audit of this code will be needed soon.
 * Preferences are sync-ed to disk immediately on a change -- this 
   protects preferences against crashes, etc.
 * Hot-key implementation now uses Keyboard Layout Services API -- this 
   means that foreign keyboards should have better support (I hope).
 * Skin can be reset to default via preferences dialogue.
 * Icon display in Desktop Pager is optional.
 * Optionally display desktop name in Desktop Pager.
 * Crash related to adding/removing desktops when status bar pager displayed
   is now fixed (developer whacks himself with big book of Objective-C memory
   management clue). [ Kevin Ballard <kevin --at-- wpi.edu.remove> ]
