[MPlayer-users] FVWM-Crystal 3.1.7 is out

[Dominique Michel]

OK, I post it here too because FVWM-Crystal implement contrils for
media players, including the AlsaPlayer and MPlayer.

http://fvwm-crystal.sourceforge.net/

Finally, we get a new FVWM-Crystal release. 

So many bug fixes and improvements have been done, that even if it is
still much to do, I made this 3.1.7 release.

Version 3.1.7
------------- 
A long wanted release that provide both new features and bug fixes.

- Font and Font Size preferences. That's a big change!

- Full rewrite and debugging of the different maximize functions,
  including the full-screened mode. Fullscreen have been extended with
  a Disapear function, which give us one of the best feature of the
  Amiga OS, the ability to flow trough the full-screened applications
  and the workbench (dekstop). 
  See that as another way to cycle trough desktop space. A new Minimize
  is includded as well. It will reduce the window size.

 - The Amiga recipe is almost fully rewritten. It provide a double top
   bar that is more AmigaOS like (mac users will like it too). The
   notification area is moved near the media button. The swallowing of
   the trayer application is fixed. The buttons at the bottom are now
   in a range, with the possibility to show only some of them.

-  NumLock Fix for the focus policies. The NumLonk interferences on the
   Amiga, FVWM-Crystal with raise and MSWindow focus policy styles
   should be history now.

- New Wing-Commander recipe by Peter McConnell. Nice and functional. 

- New Fullscreen recipe. A work in progress but still usable, if you
  like to have nothing but a big diamond on your desk.

- A lot of style loading order fixes. The FvwmForm and FvwmIdent
  windows doesn't need anymore a restart to be readable.

 - A few new colorsets and windows decorations. 

- The mixer controls are moved into an unique file.

- Music controls in 2 parts, 1 file for the common functions of the
  players, and one file per player for their specific functions.

- Media preferences moved to the media button or menu.

- Unified media button with recipes that support it. (That change
  nothing for the user, that's just an experimentation for button
  implementation into the recipes)

- The MPlayer control use now dvdnav. DVB support and capture of
  MPEG sources have been added. Capture use the standard MPlayer "c"
  key.

- Some environment variables, including some preferences, have
  been converted to the new InfoStore FVWM variables. FVWM-Crystal
  will check the user preferences and convert them when needed at
  startup. Still a lot more to do here.

- FVWM versions older than 2.6.5 are not supported any more.

- Launch of Info browser using xemacs, tkinfo or pinfo from the
   developer menu.

- Fixed the icon generation of fvwm-crystal.generate-menu. Some of the
  icons was producing libpng warnings at stderr.

- Dropped habak support, which produced X BadValue Errors at restart,
  in favor of feh. As feh is huge, hsetroot is now the first available
  choice. For a complete list of the changes, please read the ChangeLog
  file. 

And yes, I forget stuffs. So, read the README and INSTALL file as well.
