version 0.1 to 0.2, it explains the main changes required to wayv.conf
23/04/2001
==========
- added CHANGES to record what improvements are made between the stable
releases of wayV
- updated INSTALL, HOWTO-wayv-keymap, overview.txt, roadmap.txt,
wayv.conf
21/04/2001
==========
- updated AUTHORS, NEWS, BUGS, trained-gestures.jpg
- bugfix in setup.c:parseSetup() so it doesn't seg fault as easily (yet
again its the rubbish parser)
- setup.c:readSetup() ammeded so version is NULL, helps detect if the
configuration file isn't right
19/04/2001
==========
- got rid of misc.*:parseArgs() - its too late to be putting that into
version 0.2
- ammended configure.in, src/Makefile.am and defines.h to use SETUPPATH
so the configuration file is looked for in the right place
- setup.c:parseSetup(), parseInclude() report clearer error messages if
they have problems finding the appropiate files
- changed setup.c:parseSetup() to figure out the right path to the
keymap (it'll be rewritten for the next version)
- removed cannot find file error message from backend.c and updated to
be a little more flexiable with the passed in parameter
- DEFAULT.wkey is now installed in the same default directory as wayv.conf
17/04/2001
==========
- found a bug there zombie processes where created by the user feedback
- added process.*:setupSignals() to manage the signal hanlders required
by wayV. It only useful for SIGCHLD at the moment but in later versions
that'll change
- move the signal setup from process.c:performAction() to backend.c
- created misc.*:parseArgs() and the struct MARGS to parse the commandline
parameters passed to wayV
16/04/2001
==========
- rename wayv.key to DEFAULT.wkey, decided all wayV keymaps should end
in .wkey
- created doc/HOWTO-wayv-keymap to explain using and creating the new
keymaps
- renamed setup.*:getSpaceText() to getDelimText() and ammended it to
to work with parameter passed token (must rewrite the parser)
- update process.c:performAction() to send keypress' correctly, including
composite key press' - means key press stuff is done and dusted for
version 0.2
- updated display.c:setupPointer() to properly setup what input events
to receive
- clearly I was delusional when I wrote the original event handling
and pointer grabbing but I've fixed it therefore backend.c should be
faster
14/04/2001
==========
- changed the layout of backend.c so its a little more optimised
- finally decided how to approach keypress emulation - after reading
the code for xev, xscribble and gtkeyboard
- added Include {} to configuration, extended setup.*:readSetup(),
parseSetup()
- created setup.*:processInclude() to parse the various include files,
at this stage it only does keymaps
- completely rewrote display.*:sendKey() to use the user configurable
keymaps
- created a basic keymap, its the file called wayv.key and is used by
wayv.conf
- ammended process.c:performAction() to manage sending keypress'

22/03/2001
==========
- got rid of mouse.* and moved its one function to display.*, renaming
it to display.c:setupPointer()

- coded display.*:sendKey() to use a static array for special characters
(and it might make localisation easier later on?)

==========
- renamed display.*:sendKeyPress() to display.*:sendKey() and developed
inital code to manage special characters
18/03/2001
==========

and updated configure.in to use it
- removed wayv.jcc (Code Crusader IDE project file)
- seriously improved the build setup, now properly checks for X libs

- bug fix in process.c:createCmdLine(), memory over run
- updated TODO with a lot of future possibilities
13/03/2001
==========
- fixed input window bug in backend.c where other mouse presses could
be used to draw
- updated most of the *.c files, reduced the history information on

header style going forward. I'll writing a code HACKING document for
the 0.2 release
12/03/2001
==========

user feedback
- updated backend.c to use the config feedback setup
- updated backend.c to handle the delays associated with feedback
cleanly, i.e. fork off another instance of wayV to close the
windows - later on it'll do fades, etc.
- added 2 new keys to the wayv.conf Pretty configuration structure.
"feedback" which turns on or off the display of what action was
matched (not fully working yet) and "wait" which specifies in
milli-seconds how long the feedback should be displayed

which does PDA with Simon's vectoring (sense of direction)
03/08/2000 (Simon P Hart)
==========
- added direction based recognition
(badly called vectors - it ignores distance and so should be changed)
it works seperately to the pda recognition, then improves the score of
a match if the directions match.
- made input grid enarge for short side of (almost) straight lines so that
the almost straight line can be distinguished from a 45 degree line

been silly and had forgotten to use freeMat() - instead I was using
free() - duh!

match gestures - this is a new technique which I came up with
13/06/2000
