The last desktop and monitor are now deduced from the history.
The stacking order is now independent from the history of the focused
nodes: this prevents hacks on both sides.
All windows are now considered in the stacking algorithm: it prevents
tiled windows from one monitor to appear above the floating windows of
another monitor.
Transfered windows are stacked below the windows of the same kind.
This rewrite is based on a TODO comment for the *stack_refresh*
function of *awesome*:
It might be worth stopping to restack everyone and only stack `c'
relatively to the first matching in the list.
And on the concept of relative stacking (via XDG_CONFIG_WINDOW_SIBLING).
Additionally the `adaptative_raise` setting was removed because it
became obsolete when the choice was made of not raising windows when
focusing via `focus_follows_pointer`.
Windows of type *desktop* are now supported (but not managed).
Example: if one chromium window is opened and a link is opened in
newsbeuter then chromium will steal the input focus (without explicitly
requesting focus via the proper EWMH message).
The new message syntax:
- Provides 10 commands instead of 60.
- Allows multiple actions to be applied in one call.
The client now returns an non zero exit code when a message fails.
The `is_adjacent` function now handles vacant nodes.
When a window is killed, the unmap event is never fired leaving a hole
in the layout. This commit closes that hole by manually calling arrange
after killing.
The fourth argument of `focus_node` was introduced to avoid calling
unneeded functions from `manage_window`: the reason is not good enough
to justify the existence of that extra argument.
The `birth_mode` was not sufficient for properly unrotate the brother of
a removed node. The `birth_rotation` stores the rotation applied to the
brother subtree when the node was inserted.
This should help to enforce that (L + n) - n = L in every possible
cases. Which means that adding a node and removing it should leave the
layout unchanged.
The aforementioned setting, when set, makes the focus movements based on
the distances between the window sides.
The `{prev,next}_leaf` functions were taught not to climb above their
roofs.
