Jean-Pierre Demailly, demailly@fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr
==============================================================================
Version 3.57 August 22, 2008
- Included patch from Thomas M.Ott <thmo-13@gmx.de> : improvement of
German localization and management of gzip-compressed *.vmf files.
- Corrected minor defects in timezones.vmf
- Fixed somewhat -reformat option.
- Imakefile change : VMF files now installed compressed by default.
Version 3.56 June 22, 2006
- Minor bug fixes (segfault bug in -mostly obsolete?- colorlevel 0)
- added -zoomimage <file> (zoom image file) as new command line option
so as to change the vmf file used in the zoom widget.
Version 3.55 June 18, 2006
- The default clock/map image file is now 'timezones.vmf'
- Added the new vector map file 'countries.vmf' (political boundaries)
- Added some code in readvmf.c for more verbose information
- Added 'zoomwidth' and 'zoomheight' as new options in VMF format
- Completely reworked the explanations on the VMF format file in VMF.txt
- Change default zoom mode to 0 (=no attempt to correct aspect ratio
as default behaviour)
- Corrected minor bug in the mouse tracking procedure for area selection.
- Installing now 'emx' in sunclock's SHAREDIR/bin subdirectory, in order to
avoid possible conflicts with 'emx' from the xrmap package.
Version 3.54 July 29, 2005
- Corrected segfault bug #315462 from Debian bug tracking system
- Improved look of 3D buttons
- xterm or terminal-emulator no longer needed since sunclock now
includes its own utility (emx, a very small emacs clone...)
Version 3.53 November 22, 2004
- All menus now use buttons with a 3D look
- Key shortcut hints have been substantially improved
- New option -image
- VMF format has been slightly enhanced (allows text labels)
- Corrected further GUI bugs
- Command line options -jump and -progress should now work.
Version 3.52 October 9, 2004
- Corrected many small GUI bugs or annoyances. Thanks to Jamie Zawinski
<jwz@jwz.org> for pointing out some of them and for useful advice.
Version 3.51 August 27, 2004
- New release, jumped version number to 3.51 because of substantial
improvements made
- Added support for reading GIF and PNG images :
readgif.c & readpng.c, snarfed from xpaint's rw/ routines.
Sunclock now requires libpng (GIF is read by ad hoc routines)
- Added a .spec file to enable building rpm packages, thanks to
Fran�ois Massonneau <frmas@free.fr>
- Added Polish localization, thanks to Cezary Morga <cezarym@pf.pl>
- improved -setfont option, to take into account language specific
font settings
Version 3.50pre3 August 4, 2004
- Added AM/PM indicator, 12/24 hour in date/time format
(patch by James Turner <turner@blackbear.com>,
** Senior Editor of LinuxWorld Magazine **)
Version 3.50pre2 June 30, 2004
- Improvement of internal file explorer
- Zooming can now be achieved by selecting an area with right mouse button
and/or by static click which still pops up the zoom window as before
- Various updates to Sunclockrc and .vmf files
Version 3.50 was never declared to be released in final form...
so that should have been 3.50pre1, which is quite stable.
Version 3.50pre1, August 13, 2001
- Created "xrmap", derived from Reza Naima's vector map software "rmap".
This allows (or will allow) to build very accurate .vmf maps.
(A much better integration with sunclock should come at some point...)
- Introduced the /tools directory
- Sunclock can now read compressed .vmf.gz files (and uses the zlib
library for that purpose)
- Created the timezones.vmf vector map, showing time zones (and/or nation
boundaries in near future :-)
- Changes in the VMF format to accomodate numerous new possibilities.
- Corrected a long standing bug in readvmf.c
- New -reformat option, useful to reformat .vmf files according to syntax
and standard line width.
Version 3.46, July 5, 2001
- New -screensaver option (that turns sunclock into a screensaver, when
used e.g. with Jamie Zawinski's xscreensaver...)
- New options -randomrootpos -fixedrootpos -rootdx -rootdy which
determine the behaviour of the screensaver functionality
- New option -vmfcolors <list_of_colors> from which one can change
interactively the list of predefined colors in a .vmf file
- Fixes in the behaviour of auxiliary windows under opening or closing
the main maps (iconification/deiconification and so on...)
Version 3.45v2, June 28, 2001
- Severe bug corrected: sunclock-3.45 was segfaulting after any
click on a random point of the map (in solar time mode)
Thanks to David Ronis <ronis@ronispc.chem.mcgill.ca> for
tracking down that bug.
- Another less severe bug fixed: the root window refresh procedure now
works even when the main window is iconified (it is actually
recommended to iconify any window which is to be mapped on the
root window...)
- The background color of the root window on which stars are drawn
can now be chosen at will. For instance
-setcolor "star|yellow" -setcolor "root|grey20"
sets yellow stars on a grey20 sky. This thing also corrects possible
garbage that would otherwise have been drawn in the Pixmap texture.
- Any city which is preselected via the -city <name> option still appears
even if its category is a priori to small to let it being displayed
for the given -sizelimits (suggestion by Fran�ois Massonneau).
- The -addcity option now tolerates the modification of a city (any city
already listed with the same name and coordinates up to 0.5 degree
is replaced from the list - a warning is issued, however - that warning
disappears if the city is first removed with -removecity).
Change suggested by Ted Rolle <ted@acacia.datacomm.com>
Version 3.45, June 27, 2001
- Sunclock can write periodically onto the root window with a specified
frequency (related new option -rootperiod <value>)
- A new animation mode has been introduced to modify the speed of
time evolution (this is handled by a new option -animateperiod <value>).
- The keys G J [ ] ' are used to handle these new features from the
Option window.
- Hong Kong coordinates have been fixed to their correct values,
thanks to Stefan Recksiegel <stefan@post.kek.jp>
- Urban and Option windows no longer have erratic sizes when switching
the map/clock modes, and the Menu window should be correctly refreshed.
- A 5th city category has been introduced (suggestion by F.Massonneau,
<frmas@free.fr>). By default, spotsizes now range from 1 (largest cities)
to 5 (towns or villages), instead of from 4 to 1 (the illogical ordering
has been reversed - users who haven't tweaked their city parameters
shouldn't see the change).
- When a small city is selected (beyond the category of cities normally
displayed on the map), it is now shown, whatever the size is.
- Some XEvent fixes (e.g. in clear bottom strip routine, and when
iconifying/deiconifying windows).
Version 3.44, June 22, 2001
- Sunclock is now able to write the map to the root window, and presents
a starry sky beyond the limits of the map.
- The syntax of color options has changed. A unique option
"-setcolor field|color" can be used instead. This single change reduced
the size of the binary code by 1.5 kB !!
Similarly, options -monochrome, -invertcolors and -fullcolors have been
replaced by a single option -colorlevel <value> (0, 1, 2, 3) [thus there
is a new color level as well, see man page]
- Italian dialogs have been updated, thanks to Alessio F. Bragadini
<alessio@sevenseas.org>
- The code has been cleaned-up a little bit and should consume slightly
less memory, perhaps at the expense of slightly more CPU power.
- Search of city works with respect to city names as well as with
coordinates (when name entry is left empty).
- A lot of minor bug fixes
Version 3.43, June 14, 2001
- Larger data base of cities/coordinates, with level of size
New related options -spotsizes -sizelimits -citycategories -citycheck
(The upshot is that the size of the spot representing a city can change
according to the importance of the city, and that not all cities are
shown if the zoom factor is too small.)
- Bug fixes: segfault occurring when playing around with the urban selector
(only when the clock geometry was set too small...); marked cities still
appeared when opening other windows: this was actually fixed by
suppressing an unneeded flag, thus reducing the memory usage...
- The city search now really works !
- A warning is issued when the user tries to create an already existing city.
- The "Urban widget" is now stretchable.
Version 3.42, June 11, 2001
- New "Urban widget", which allows to easily search, introduce, erase or
modify city locations at runtime
- Change of format for the Sunclockrc and ~/.sunclockrc config files.
They now make use of the new -addcity option to enter (or remove) cities.
*Both* are read (with ~/.sunclockrc being read later, so that it
overrides the system wide Sunclockrc)
- The -position option now allows degrees, minutes, seconds format
- Fixes in option handling (hopefully fixing infamous segfault
crashes when options were activated from the Option widget)
Version 3.41, May 31, 2001
- New fixes for X BadAccess bug with enlightenment (again!)
- New options -bottomline, -nobottomline. By default, no bottom line
appears in the newer version (looks nicer to me!)
- Improvement of the -dock mode; new -undock option. Fixes for the
enlarge '>' command; new related -extrawidth option.
- Synchronization fixes in multi-window context
- Minor bugs corrected: parallel/tropic color setting now works, readvmf
should no longer produce artefacts on the left border when the
magnification factor is larger than 1; speed slightly improved as well.
- The Moon is now shown on the map (although not astronomically very
accurate, probably a few minutes of arc of error...)
Related new options -moon, -nomoon, -objectmode x.
- Sun and Moon coordinates can be shown on the map by typing 'y' once more
Version 3.40, May 14, 2001
- City names and coordinate values can now be shown on the map
by typing 'u' once more
- Bitmaps of city/mark spots are now obtained from explicit data
in bitmaps.h rater than calls to X routines (slower and more rigid)
- Menu options which can take more than 2 values (e.g. 'N') can get
their values rotated in both directions by using lower/upper cases
or clicking with the left/right mouse button.
- Removed the sunclock_help script, replaced by an internal call
- Much improved refresh mechanism for -fullcolors mode. Flickering
should not occur any longer in that mode (still somewhat unavoidable
with obsolete mode -invertcolors)
- Corrected a X BadAccess bug showing up under some window managers
(e.g. enlightenment)
Version 3.38, April 17, 2001
- Added new color and font options
- The man page is installed automatically and is accessible from the GUI
(type key 'h' twice)
- The option handling mechanism has been improved:
the ~/.sunclockrc config file as well as the option widget now accept
several options simultaneously on the same line.
Version 3.37, April 13, 2001
- Added new option -lightgradient
- Corrected and improved somewhat the shading algorithm (while slightly
improving speed as well).
Version 3.36, April 13, 2001
- Code clean-ups and bug fixes. Language and fonts are now runtime
configurable as promised (and without segfaulting !).
- When changing parameters, the XImage is recycled whenever possible.
Version 3.35, April 11, 2001
- A new "Option" widget appears; many command line options can be set
interactively at runtime from the option window.
- The bigendian property is checked at runtime on the X display, not
just at compile time (the older way made sense only if the X display
and X server were both of the same endian nature!)
- Zoom colors are now configurable
- Code clean-ups
- Bug fixes
Version 3.34, March 30, 2001
- Huge improvements in the zoom widget: a black and white map is now used
as a texture for guiding the moves; there is also a switch for
synchronizing or desynchronizing the zoom events.
- Several other new zoom functions (*, &, #, +, -, arrow keys...)
- A lot of minor bug fixes
Version 3.33, March 21, 2001
- New improvements in the zoom widget, following suggestions by Fran�ois
Massonneau <frmas@free.fr> and Ted Rolle <ted@acacia.datacomm.com> :
there is now a special mode allowing to keep control on the aspect
when changing the zoom area location.
- Update of Dutch localization by Henry Verdonschot <henry@procura.nl>
and of Italian localization by Alessio F. Bragadini <alessio@sevenseas.org>
- Bug fixes.
Version 3.32, March 19, 2001
- Fully functional zoom widget; all images are now zoomable in the
range 1 ... 100.00 (this does not always make sense, as most JPEG
images have insufficient resolution for magnifications exceeding 5)
- More efficient moveNightArea algorithm, resulting in a substantial
speed improvement when using keys A, B
- Various clean-ups; new flag flag.update allowing a more elegant
updating process
- Some other minor GUI improvements in menus or events (X Keys now
handled properly...)
- Bug fixes
Version 3.31, March 3, 2001
- Minor GUI improvements: the clock window now also has a menu toolbar,
and the file selector has been slightly improved.
- One or two minor bugs have been fixed (obscure mistake in management of
pointers, when the initial window was closed before the later ones...)
- A new (unfinished) widget appears: the zoom window - please wait for the
next release 3.32 for complete zooming capabilities!
Version 3.30, February 26, 2001
- Extensive support for PseudoColor displays, with private colormaps
being allocated automatically and quantization of colors being performed
when needed
- .jpg and .xpm formats are fully supported, and all images are resizable
Version 3.29, February 12, 2001 (not widely announced)
- Sunclock now reads .jpg image formats in true-color modes
- .jpg images are resizeable
- The internal vector map has been turned into an externally loadable
map (a ".vmf" format)
Version 3.28, January 15, 2001
- Patch in setTZ routine for HP-UX systems (should use putenv(strdup(buf))
instead of putenv(buf)). Suggested by Henry Verdonschot <henry@procura.nl>
- The text output in the bottom strip of the clock is now customizable via
a format string; idea based on a suggestion by Henry Verdonschot
- Dutch localization (Henry Verdonschot again)
- Norwegian localization; made by Johnny Ljunggren <johnny@navtek.no>
- Synchronize (don't synchronize) switch via "!" at runtime.
Version 3.27, December 29, 2000
- New options -dock (initial clock window cannot be resized or closed),
and -updateall (all windows are updated, which, of course, requires
more CPU)
- Fixes multiple window bug found by Fran�ois Massonneau <frmas@free.fr>
Version 3.26, December 22, 2000
- Fixes segfault bug mentioned by Fran�ois Massonneau <frmas@free.fr>
Version 3.25, December 21, 2000
- Simultaneous windows (in arbitrary number...)
All this required a lot of changes in the Sundata structures, which
now carry all information about the status of various maps. This
should make everything much more flexible...
- As a corollary, sunclock should now be dockable
Version 3.22, December 12, 2000 (not released...)
- Fixed incorrect (zero!) distance calculations, minor bug noticed by
Marc Colling (mcol@village.uunet.lu)
Version 3.21, December 4, 2000
- Bug fixes in the window placement routines (as suggested by Roland
Rosenfeld)
- Various improvements in the shading algorithm
Version 3.20, November 24, 2000
- Sunclock includes vector map routines which generate Earth maps on the fly.
- These maps are resizeable, they can generate contours or filled areas
(3 fill/contour options...)
- Sunclock can optionally handle (non resizeable) external pixmaps as well
- Resizing routines for map and clock windows.
- Shading algorithm showing twilight / luminosity
Version 3.13, October 26, 2000.
- The sunclock package now includes a vector map of the Earth (loosely
derived from the xearth package by Kirk Lauritz Johnson). The clock and
map data files are built from there by the `mapgen` utility. This
allows users to select the respective size of the clock and map windows
at compile time (not yet at run time :-( but should come soon...)
- New "night/no night" options
- Coordinates can now appear in decimal degrees or degrees, minutes, seconds
- Various small GUI fixes (window placement again...)
Version 3.12, October 9, 2000.
- Fix for a bug affecting the configuration of language and color settings
through the config file.
Version 3.11, October 8, 2000.
- Italian localization by Alessio Bragadini <alessio@sevenseas.org>
Spanish localization by Pedro Gimeno <pgimeno@iname.com>
- Improved window placement, as suggested by
Pascal Jermini <Pascal.Jermini@epfl.ch>
- Merged patch by Pedro Gimeno, implementing the wm_delete_window
protocol.
- Corrected calculation of solartime, sunrise and sunset, which was
sometimes inaccurate by 10-15 minutes or more.
Notified by Orn E. Hansen <oe.hansen@gamma.telenordia.se>
- Fix in setTZ routine, related to the putenv/setenv duality
Thanks to Roland Rosenfeld <roland@spinnaker.de> for this.
Hopefully this fixes the persistent problems with timezones...
- Merged window-manager icons from the Debian sources.
- New command line options added (-rcfile -language -jump -progress -menu
among others). Time progress and configuration file can now be set
arbitrarily.
- The command line options can now also be set through the configuration
file, and the version number appears in the tips of 'H' option
Suggestions by Fran�ois Massonneau <frmas@free.fr>
Version 3.10, October 3, 2000.
- Interface has been improved and should be substantially easier to use,

calling tzset() before each localtime() call.
Notified by Andy Barlak <andyb@eskimo.com> and
<dicw@kalevanet.sointula.bc.ca> )
Version 3.03, September 5, 2000.
- Corrected local timezone bug (wasn't correctly initialized nor reset)
