1. Use <stdbool.h> if it is available but keep a compatibility shim in
shared/defines.h in case it is not.
2. Unbreak the circular header dependencies (mostly):
2a. client.c and client.h may NOT depend on 'struct Menu'. Use a void pointer
and casts instead.
2b. Separate the data type definitions in client.h and screen.h from
function prototypes which may require other data structures. This makes
header dependencies much more easy to maintain. Usually the data types
should have been moved to their own files but I (mmdolze) chose to
separate them using different header guards.
2c. Remove many now unused header includes.
Apply (old BSD-) style on menuscreens.c.
- explicitely declare void arguments
- make a few string args const
* better support for shorter displays in server screen
* make target to create top level tag file
- Now using priority classes internally and in protocol
- Converting (depreciated) priorty numbers to the classes BACKGROUND,
INFO and FOREGROUND
- Added menu_goto command (only works when menu not active)
- Moved and altered code to create, destroy and manipulate clients, screens
and widgets in an OO-like manner.
- Moved command execution code to a commands directory, splitting commands to
what subject they are concerned.
- Menus are temporary disabled while working on new menu structure.
Depending on how the server sets the backlight it controls the clients
(if OPEN then the clients have individual control). If the client is set to
open (inherited from the server) then each screen has backlight control.
serial port side. Also fixed problems with ioperm on the parallel port
side.
Added --waittime option to the server to specify how long the server
should leave a screen up before changing to the next screen.
as argument introducers. in 0.4-pre10, these were changed
from foo to -foo and this broke many clients. This change
should fix that and be backward/forward compatible.
+ Added a noop function to the protocol. This is useful for writing
shell script clients of LCDproc.
+ Changed the shared sock_send_string function to NOT send the
ending NUL ('\0') byte with the string. This was confusing
in Perl clients which saw NUL's as the first character of
each reply. WARNING: The LCDPROC client depended on this
behavior, your client may too. Use the newline instead.
See the code in clients/lcdproc/main.c (look for "switch(buf[i])")
to see one way to handle this. This should allow new clients
to connect to old servers and vice-versa.
+ Messed with include structure in .c files. It should no longer
be necessary to specify ../.. to get to shared code headers.
Also, since we are using automake, the global config.h can be
found with just #include "config.h" as it's location is included
in a -I to the compilers. As a result "make distcheck" now works.
Passed *every* piece of source in this project through indent. I'm setting
things up with ctags soon and am actually going to *gasp* use a nice
programming environment to continue development in. :)
