Now that modeline are supported, they will affect the content of
version. This commits only adds the new information. `--version` has
to be the last command line argument and the modeline isn't parsed
yet.
Another commit will make sure --version parses the modeline and
finishes to process the command line arguments in case it isn't
last. Please note that luarocks also affects data points such as
the LGI version. It should be smarter and check if `rc.lua` has
`require("luarocks")`. This commit does *not* do it.
The API level concept is something used by other projects such as
Android and iOS to allow deprecated features to be removed and the
bahavior to be altered without breaking compability with existing
code.
The same will apply to AwesomeWM. The current API level is "4" and
as long as config use this, no deprecation or bahavior change will
be exposed. If the user sets it to an higher value or we release
the next major version and new users start to use the, then current,
default config, they will use the new API level.
The the far future, if ever, we could fork the entire Lua libraries
to support legacy APIs. This would only require to keep the core
API support for those legacy calls. In the meantime, `gears.debug`
will use this to manage the deprecation and some conditional code
will be added as a last resort attempt to preserve behavior
compatibility while moving forward with breaking changes.
This commit add an optional `--screen off` command to initialize Lua
without first adding the screens. This is inconvinient for most users
since it restrict the APIs that are usable out of the box.
However, this allows AwesomeWM to work independently from the hardware.
This means that when a screen is unplugged, it is the Lua code that will
remove the screen instead of CAPI pulling the carpet from under. It also
allows to ignore some screen areas before the screen is ever created.
Combined, it makes it possible to work with screens even when they are
physically disconnected. Finally, it will allow for an awful.rules like
API to control how screens are created.
All in all, some people need this for their setup and some people might
want to do it anyway for fine grained and/or dynamaic multi-screen
setups.
This commit also adds 4 new signals to `capi` to be able to
execute code at specific points during the initialization. The commit
improves naughty error notifications to work even if problems occurs
before the screens are added.
Note that AwesomeWM will exit if no screens are created. While it would
be easy to just call `refresh_screen();` after unsetting the magic
variable, doing so would have corner cases. Better be harsher and
prevent the user from shooting themselves in the foot from not reading
the f****** manual. Code introduced in future commits will take care
of automatically calling fake_screen in the event nothing is created.
Fixes#1382
This library allows to get a human-readable string describing X11
requests, events, and errors. We now use this library to pretty-print
X11 errors if we get any.
To test this code, I added the following two lines to AwesomeWM so that
X11 errors are generated:
xcb_set_input_focus(globalconf.connection, 42, 42, 42);
xcb_randr_set_output_primary(globalconf.connection,
globalconf.screen->root, 42);
Output without xcb-errors:
X error: request=SetInputFocus (major 42, minor 0), error=BadValue (2)
X error: request=(null) (major 140, minor 30), error=(null) (147)
Output with xcb-errors:
X error: request=SetInputFocus (major 42, minor 0), error=Value (2)
X error: request=RandR-SetOutputPrimary (major 140, minor 30), error=RandR-BadOutput (147)

Instead of updating the keyboard state at the end of the current main
loop iteration, this now uses a GLib idle source with a very low
priority. This increases the chance of batching multiple refreshes
together. Also, this means that awesome_refresh() does less work.

When the keyboard layout is modified via xmodmap, each single "change"
(line of input to xmodmap) causes an "the keyboard configuration
changed"-event to be sent. Awesome reacted to each of these events by
reloading the keyboard layout. Thus, awesome reloaded the keyboard
layout a lot and appeared to freeze.
Fix this by asynchronously update the keyboard state: When such an event
comes in, instead of reloading things immediately, we set a flag which
makes us update the state at the end of the main loop iteration. This
means that many events still cause only a single (or at least few)
re-quering of the layout. Thus, a lot of time is saved.
This commit removes the argument to the (undocumented!) signal
xkb::group_changed. Previously, the argument was the active group
number. Since this argument was unused and I'm lazy, I just removed it.
The alternative would be that it might be visible to Lua that some "the
active group changed"-events are dropped.

At the beginning of every main loop iteration, we check for new events
from the X11 server. However, it's theoretically possible that during a
main loop iteration new events arrive and are read by libxcb into its
internal buffer. This would mean that the fd connected to the X11 server
is not readable and thus we do not wake up to handle these events.
Handle this by checking for pending events before calling poll(). If a
new events appears, we set the timeout for poll() to zero and will then
handle the new event in the following iteration of the main loop.

Daniel sees a short flicker of his wallpaper when he closes a client.
This happens because the window is destroyed immediately, but other
clients are re-arranged only shortly later. In the mean time, the X
server updates the display and repaints the root window (= wallpaper
becomes visible).
Work around this by delaying the destruction of frame windows to the end
of the current main loop iteration. This means that we first update the
position of all other windows and later destroy the window that was
actually closed.

There are some situations where we do things that can make the mouse pointer
enter another window. We do not want to react to these "self inflicted" mouse
enter and leave events, because they aren't "real" (= generated by the user).
Before this commit, this is done by going through all windows and toggling the
"please send us enter and leave events"-bit on them. This becomes slower when
many windows are visible and floods the server with requests.
This commit changes this to a constant-time logic. Each event contains the
sequence number of the last request that the X11 server handled. Thus, we just
remember the right sequence numbers and ignore any events that comes in whose
sequence number falls into the ignored range.
In detail, we keep a list of "begin" and "end" sequence numbers and ignore any
enter and leave events that fall in this range. If we get any event with a
sequence number higher than "end", we remove this pair from the list, since it
is no longer needed.
To generate these pairs, we use a GrabServer request in
client_ignore_enterleave_events(). This gives us a sequence number and makes
sure that nothing else besides us can cause events. The server is ours! In
client_restore_enterleave_events(), we first do a NoOperation request to
generate the sequence number for the end of the pair and then do UngrabServer.
Any event that is generated after UngrabServer will have at least the sequence
number of the UngrabServer request and thus no longer fails between begin and
end.

This function needs the event numbers for events from some extensions. These are
assigned dynamically by the server. Right now, this is done by having a bunch of
static variables that are initialized when needed.
Refactor this to have a function event_init() instead that sets variable in
globalconf (where all of our state should be saved). Also, a preprocessor macro
is introduced to handle event dispatch which also looks a bit nicer.

Whenever client.focus == nil, we set the input focus to the root window to
express "nothing has the input focus". However, thanks to the way X11 input
works, this means that whatever is under the mouse cursor gets keyboard input
events. This can easily be reproduced with urxvt and some small addition to the
config to unfocus things.
This commit changes things. Instead of focusing the root window, we create a
special "no focus" window that gets focused if we want nothing to have the
focus.

This adds a global variable that tracks the drawable that is currently under the
mouse cursor. This new variable is then used so that we get consistent behavior
for enter/leave signals. Such signals are now also generated when a MotionNotify
event tells us that the pointer is now in a different titlebar.
Before this, it was possible that we did not generate a leave event on a
titlebar since the LeaveNotify contains the cursor position after the leave and
we did not manage to figure out which titlebar was left.

Everything that needs the lua_State should create a local variable like this:
lua_State *L = globalconf_get_lua_State();
This ensures that the compiler warns if there are two variables with name "L" in
scope. The idea here is that it should become harder to accidentally use the
global lua state instead of the state of the current state.
While writing this commit, I found another place that gets its wrong: Reading
client.focus from a coroutine was broken, since it was returning the result on
the main thread instead of the current one.

This commits adds awesome.register_xproperty(). This allows lua code to register
arbitrary X11 properties with awesome which will then watch these properties.
Whenever such a property is changed on a client or drawin, we will emit the

Thanks to Michael Stapelberg, there is now a xcb-only port of libXcursor which
does everything we need. This patch switches awesome over to that new library.
Since the only reason for using XOpenDisplay() instead of xcb_connect() was so
that we can use libXcursor, we can get back to that older state again. This

awesome has fewer dependencies, because we were already depending on glib before
and now no longer need glib.

bindings for lua. This means that lua code can add all kinds of event sources to
the main loop (timeouts, fd watchers, SIGCHLD watchers, ....). Yay
