Python-xlib

============

Bug Fixes
---------

- fix use under Windows Subsystem for Linux: when DISPLAY does not
specify a protocol, and the implicit Unix socket connection fails,
fallback to TCP (mimicking XCB's behavior).

Misc
----

- don't bundle a copy of texi2html to build the HTML documentation,
but use the currently installed version instead.

---

============

Bug Fixes
---------

- fix unclosed file in Xauth implementation
- fix support for `Window.set_wm_transient_for`
- fix support for `Drawable.put_image` / `Drawable.get_image`
- use ASCII for decoding strings in Python 3 (same as Python 2)
- fix Python 3 warnings about `array.tostring()` (deprecated)

Misc
----

Improve response processing performance: reduce the number of
`socket.recv` calls needed to receive a full response.

---

============

Bug Fixes
---------

- don't throw an exception if `$XAUTHFILE` / `~/.Xauthority` is missing
- fix authentication work-around for SSH forwarding under Python 3
- improve `$DISPLAY` handling: support optional protocol prefix, and
correctly handle `unix:0.0` as `:0.0`

---

============

Bug Fixes
---------

- fix Python 3 buffer abstraction
- fix interrupted select handling for Python 3.3/3.4
- fix Unix socket support when only an abstract address is available

---

============

Bug Fixes
---------

- fix Xauth handling when using Python 2 and DISPLAY contains a remote IP
- fix String16 request field handling when using Python 3
- fix RECORD extension and example when using Python 3
- fix handling of properties: use byte strings for all X11 8-bits
strings, as not all of them are text properties (the window
getters/setters for `wm_name`, `wm_icon_name`, `wm_class`, and
`wm_client_machine` still return/expect Unicode strings)

API Changes
-----------

Core:

- new window getter/setter for text properties: `get_full_text_property`
and `change_text_property`; with automatic conversion to/from Unicode
when the property type encoding is supported (`STRING` and
`UTF8_STRING`)

Composite extension:

- support for `GetOverlayWindow` request

============

Licensing
---------

The project is now licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License
v2.1 or later (see the LICENSE file for details).

Compatibility
-------------

Support for Python versions older than 2.7 has been dropped. Support for
Python 3 (3.3, 3.4 and 3.5) has been added. Note that Python-Xlib now
depends on the six package (>=1.10) for combined Python 2 / 3 support.

API Changes
-----------

With the change of license, and no way to contact the original author of
the SHAPE extension, the code had to be rewritten from scratch. This
resulted in a few minor API changes (see [examples/shapewin.py](examples/shapewin.py)).

Partial support for the SECURITY. XInput, and XFIXES extensions has been
added.

Bug Fixes
---------

- fix RECORD extension
- fixed OS X socket path
- fix handling of generic events
- fix handling of KeymapNotify events
- several fixes for the RandR extension
