Previously, it was monkey-patching the input layout object. This will
allow to replace the laoyut at runtime. For example, switching from
`fixed.horizontal` to a grid when the number of client gets too large.
It was previously monkey-patching the input layout object into
the final tasklist.
This is a breaking change, but affects undocumented behaviors. By
doing this, it becomes possible to expose the properties in the
public API. This, in turn, allows to document them. Right now,
the documentation is very vague on some behaviors.
They currently fit the general concept of a `request::` in the sense
that they are not property related and have "request handlers".
The commit also add deprecation for signals.
The reason for this fits within the larger standardization project.
Non-namespaced signals will eventually be renamed. This has started
a long time ago.
What is old is new again. Once upon a time, there was a `startup`
parameter to the `manage` signal. It is now back in the form of
a context.
Finally, this commit removes the `manage` section of `rc.lua`. It no
longer did anything worthy of being in the config. Each of its
important parts have been moved out over the years and the last
remaining bit is always required anyway. The code has been moved
to `client.lua`.
Previously, it would use the "real" args passed to the constructor.
It was a bad decision since:
* It doesn't allow the tag/tasklist to add properties internally
* It forces the widget to be created with a constructor rather than
the alternate declarative syntax
* It doesn't allow a tag/tasklist to be part of a widget_template
Technically this is a behavior change, but I doubt anybody will notice
given it is a dark and little documented corner of the API. Chances are
nobody have been using this API for years.
This decision was taken out of necessity. While adding more style
elements to `awful.widget.common` isn't something I want, there is
little else to do here. The problem is that popup based lists only
have size constraints in one direction. So without a way to limit
the icon size, it will take 9999 pixels.
The current taglist/tasklist allow filter function to remove elements
from the list. However they don't allow sorting or additional entries
to be listed.
This commit introduced such a concept. It will later be used by the
layoutlist where it becomes more relevant since layouts are used created
"objects".
style.disable_task_name and beautiful.tasklist_disable_task_name. Suppresses display of a given client's name, but preserves the setting of tasklist_plain_task_name
Before 4.0, maximizing could only be done in 2 operations.
4.0 add an unified way, but kept doing 2 operations. The old
Lua EWMH code to serialize the 2 operations was dropped when
the codepath was simplified and replaced by a generic version
in awful.placement. However this version never implemented
combining multiple mementos into 1.
This commit unify the maximize C code, drop the ugly macro
template and actually fixes a couple more issues that were
caused because request::geometry was sent twice.
It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.
