xwininfo is a command-line utility to print information about windows on an
X server. Various information is displayed depending on which options are
selected.
The major new feature of this release is the rewrite to use libxcb instead
of libX11, batching requests for information to reduce waiting on round-trips
in gathering the client information from the X server. Testing over a
high-latency connection from California to China and back resulted in an
improvement from 8 minutes to 45 seconds to output the complete window tree
via xwininfo -root -all of a GNOME desktop session with 114 windows.
This release thus libxcb to build, (though it still requires some libX11
headers as well). It also requires a minimum xproto version of 7.0.17.
Should anyone need to maintain the libX11 version, a 1.0.x branch can be
created in git from the 1.0.5 release base as needed.
This release also adds support for reporting some EMWH window manager hints,
including UTF-8 localized window names from the _NET_WM_NAME property.
(This version does not correctly display names for windows with the WM_NAME
property set using the COMPOUND_TEXT encoding. Most current desktops &
toolkits will set the _NET_WM_NAME, which is used in preference to WM_NAME
if it is set.)
