Changes between pre 1.0 and 1.0:
Basically, both update-menus and install-menu have been re-written
from scratch.
*************************************
update-menus
*forks to background, waits for dpkg to finish (to get a _correct_
package listing). (This is now only done with dpkgs that don't support
triggers.)
*allows new menuentry format:
needs=text command=/usr/bin/vi section=Apps/Editors title=Vi \
longtitle="The editor that people complain even\
more about than the about weather, vi." \
id=vi sort=aa myfunkyvar=lichtbewolkt
*************************************
install-fvwmgen -> menu-method:
*Change of name (The old name wasn't very good anyway, and
it allows me to more easily change the format of the file).
*Format changed: ${title} is now written as either $title or
print($title) (the latter giving an error if $title is empty).
More about this in /usr/share/doc/menu/html.
*Long lines can be continued on next line with a "\".
(do make sure there are no spaces after the "\")
*in the menu-methods files, tabs, newlines, etc used to need
double \\, like "\\t, \\n". These is needed any more.
(now looks like "\t, \n").
*things like "startmenu=filename" don't work any more (nobody
knew this worked anyway).
*Lot's of new "functions", see README
*Slightly different interpretation of variables:
${section} used to print the last part of the section name, now
it prints the full section in a submenu, or the full section
plus "/"$title in menuentries (or plus "/" $sort ":" $title
if $sort is defined).
${fullsection} has been removed (section replaces this)
$subsection now prints what ${section} would have printed
with menu-0.11.
the id tag isn't needed any more. Now using $sort ":" $title to
determine if two menuentries are the same.
*in script: mainmenu= isn't accepted any more
(never used to work with "compat=gen").
*Now you can actually add icons etc to the submenu entries,
even to the root menus
needs="X11" section="Apps" title="Ap" hotkey=X icon="myiconfile"
