Rewrite README and CHANGES into asciidoc.
Previously these were in multimarkdown. While we went straight to
asciidoc for the manual, these files require much less careful
formatting, so markdown seemed more appropriate. However, they still
wanted things like definition lists and some other minor stuff that plain
markdown doesn't pull off so well, so the multimarkdown dialect was
chosen.
However, mmd has proven a little fragile over the years. And the
markdown world is so wildly fragmented, and everyone looks at a .md file
and says "Oh, that must be processable by my own particular incompatible
local dialect", which means anywhere other than our Makefile trying to
render the files wound up squirrely anyway.
The README is pretty trivially and cleanly asciidoc-able. CHANGES is
somewhat less so. We wind up with a lot more noise in it from the
heavier markup of asciidoc, so it doesn't read quite as well as plain
text anymore. It's probably not too hard to simplify it down to the
common subset of markdown. But that would leave it as the _only_ bit of
processed markdown in the tree anymore, so I went ahead and adoc-ified it
just to be more consistent. So now all our built docs are asciidoc.
(n.b. there are a few README.md's in other places through the tree
that aren't touched, but they're very much ".txt that happens to look
md-ish and may process as that", so what the heck. We have no code
for or intention of actually building them into any output formats.)

=== Backward-Incompatible Changes And Removed Features
13
14
* Support for `VirtualScreens` has been removed. This was an early
13
15
attempt to allow some manual configuration of multiple monitors, but
14
16
carried with it a lot of caveats and strange behaviors. The current
15
17
automatic RANDR and manual `MonitorLayout` features are a replacement
16
18
for anywhere this ever really worked.

1. `ctwm`'s captive mode support has been removed. This includes the
20
* ``ctwm``'s captive mode support has been removed. This includes the
19
21
`--window` and `--name` command line arguments, and the
20
22
`f.adoptwindow` and `f.hypermove` functions. Be sure to remove any
21
23
references to those functions from your config file.

* Support for `WindowBox` has been removed, along with the

`f.fittocontent` function related to it.

28
* The minimum cmake version has been bumped to 3.6. This is available
27
29
in standard packages back to CentOS 6, and we appear to have actually
28
30
been using syntax requiring 3.5 for a while unknowingly anyway.

* Support for understanding multi-monitor layouts as something other
33
35
than a single giant rectangle added. The RANDR X extension is used
34
36
for determining how your monitors are laid out. The various
35
`f.\*zoom` functions now zoom on the monitor the window is currently
36
on, and new `f.x\*zoom` functions are added to zoom across your entire
37
`f.*zoom` functions now zoom on the monitor the window is currently
38
on, and new `f.x*zoom` functions are added to zoom across your entire

* Added `MonitorLayout {}` config var for overriding the layout of
42
44
multiple monitors. In normal cases with multiple monitors and a
43
45
modern X server, this is unnecessary. It's useful if the X server
44
46
doesn't support RANDR (_e.g._, older servers), or if the info it
47

otherwise be (_e.g._, treat an ultra-wide display as 2 separate
48
50
monitors).

* The EWMH `_NET_FRAME_EXTENTS` property is now set on windows when we
51
53
take control of them. This should fix clients mispositioning other
52

* Running `--cfgchk` without an available X server will now work. Some
64
66
errors may only be discovered when it can talk to X (things relating
65

93
94
* Perform various manipulations and overrides of `WM_HINTS` property
93
95
when it gets reset during runtime, like we do when initially adopting
94
96
the window. The most visible effect of this was in windows that don't
95
97
give a focus hint (which we override to give focus), but then reset
96
98
`WM_HINTS` later and still don't give us a hint, where we wound up not
97

re-overriding previously. Reported for `xvile` by Wayne Cuddy.

123
* The EWMH `_NET_WM_NAME` property is now supported, and used for the
122
124
window name in place of the ICCCM `WM_NAME` when set. By default, we
123
125
also accept `UTF8_STRING` encoded `WM_NAME` as a result of this
124

change; see below for var to restore historical strictness.

128
130
comments as above apply to the encodings.

* Support has been added for `CTWM_WM_NAME` and `CTWM_WM_ICON_NAME`
131
133
properties, which will override any window/icon names otherwise
132
134
specified. This may be useful for applications that set unhelpful
133

names themselves, or for manually adjusting labelling. These

1. When no icon name is set for a window, we've always used the window
141
* When no icon name is set for a window, we've always used the window
140
142
name for the icon name as well. But that only happened the first time
141
143
the window name is set; after that, the icon name is stuck at the
142
144
first name. It now updates along with the window name, if no icon
143
145
name is set.
144
146
145
1. All icon manager windows will now have the `TwmIconManager` class set
147
* All icon manager windows will now have the `TwmIconManager` class set
146
148
on them, so they can be addressed en mass by other config like
147
149
`NoTitle` by that class name.

* Added `DontNameDecorations` config option to disable setting names on
152
154
the X windows we create for window decoration (added in 4.0.0). These
153
155
have been reported to confuse `xwit`, and might do the same for other
154
156
tools that don't expect to find them on non-end-app windows. Reported
155

by Frank Steiner.

* When multiple X Screens are used, the OTP code didn't recognize the

* Fix some edge cases where we'd fight other apps' focus handling. When
181
183
an application moved focus itself to an unrelated (in X terms) window,
182
184
our processing would often race and re-move the focus to the root
183
185
ourselves. This was visible with e.g. sub-windows in Firefox for
184

context menu and urlbar dropdown, which would flash on and then

disappear.

189
* When creating a new transient window of an existing full-screen
188
190
window, the OTP stacking may cause it to be stuck below the main
189
191
window due to the special handling of full-screen focused windows in
190

* Systems with the ctfconvert/ctfmerge tools available will now use them

### Build System Change
230
=== Build System Change
229
231
230
232
The old `imake` build system has been replaced by a new structure using
231
`cmake`. This makes [cmake](https://cmake.org/) a requirement to build
233
`cmake`. This makes https://cmake.org/[cmake] a requirement to build
232
234
ctwm. See the `README.md` file for how to run it.
233
235
234
236
A fallback minimal build system is available in the `minibuild/`
237
239
strongly preferred. But it should suffice to get a runnable binary if
238
240
all else fails.
239
241
240
### Platform Support
242
=== Platform Support
241
243
242
244
Support for many non-current platforms has been dropped. In particular,
243
245
remnants of special-case VMS support have been removed. Many old and now
245
247
without support for C99 and mid-2000's POSIX are increasingly less likely
246
248
to work.

252
* Argument parsing has been rewritten to use `getopt_long()`. All
251

`-long` options are now `--long` instead. `-version`, `-info`,
252
254
`-cfgchk`, and `-display` are still accepted if they're the first
253
255
option given, to make it easier for scripts to simultaneously support
254

before/after versions; this shim will be removed in a later version.

1. Support for the SDSC imconv library, and the IMCONV options related to

* Support for the SDSC imconv library, and the IMCONV options related to

it, has been removed. The last release is almost 20 years old, and

* The USE_SIGNALS code to use signal-driven animations has been removed.
261

documented anywhere but in the code and a comment in this file.

* The old-style title button action specifications (without an `=` in
267
269
them) deprecated since 3.8 are no longer supported. Just replacing
268
270
the "`:`" with "`= :`" should suffice to make it work right in 3.8+.
269
271
If you need to share configs with older versions, you'll have to
270

by odd quirks of the code. The parsing has been made stricter, so
309

only the documented `vgrav hgrav` ordering is accepted now.
