<title>Evolution of the Intrinsics</title>

<para>
The interfaces described by this specification have undergone several
sets of revisions in the course of adoption as an X Consortium
standard specification.  Having now been adopted by the Consortium as
a standard part of the X Window System, it is expected that this and
future revisions will retain
backward compatibility in the sense that fully conforming
implementations of these specifications may be produced that provide
source compatibility with widgets and applications written to
previous Consortium standard revisions.
</para>

<para>
The Intrinsics do not place any special requirement on widget
programmers to retain source or binary compatibility for their widgets
as they evolve, but several conventions have been established to
assist those developers who want to provide such compatibility.
</para>

<para>
In particular, widget programmers may wish to conform to the convention
described in <xref linkend='Class_Extension_Records' /> when defining class extension records.
</para>
<sect1 id="Determining_Specification_Revision_Level">
<title>Determining Specification Revision Level</title>
<para>
Widget and application developers who wish to maintain a common source
pool that will build properly with implementations of the Intrinsics
at different revision levels of these specifications but that take
advantage of newer features added in later revisions may use the
symbolic macro
<function>XtSpecificationRelease</function>.
</para>
<literallayout >
#define XtSpecificationRelease 6
</literallayout>
<para>
As the symbol
<function>XtSpecificationRelease</function>
was new to Release 4, widgets and
applications desiring to build against earlier implementations should
test for the presence of this symbol and assume only Release 3
interfaces if the definition is not present.
</para>
</sect1>

<sect1 id="Release_to_Release_Compatibility">
<title>Release 3 to Release 4 Compatibility</title>
<para>
At the data structure level, Release 4 retains binary compatibility
with Release 3 (the first X Consortium standard release) for all data
structures except
<function>WMShellPart,</function>
<function>TopLevelShellPart</function>,
and
<function>TransientShellPart</function>.
Release 4 changed the argument type to most procedures that now take
arguments of type
<function>XtPointer</function>
and structure members that are now of type
<function>XtPointer</function>
in order to avoid potential ANSI C conformance problems.  It is
expected that most implementations will be binary compatible with the
previous definition.
</para>

<para>
Two fields in
<function>CoreClassPart</function>
were changed from
<function>Boolean</function>
to
<function>XtEnum</function>
to allow implementations additional freedom in specifying the
representations of each.  This change should require no source
modification.
</para>
<sect2 id="Additional_Arguments">
<title>Additional Arguments</title>
<para>
Arguments were added to the procedure definitions for
<xref linkend='XtInitProc' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
<xref linkend='XtSetValuesFunc' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
and
<xref linkend='XtEventHandler' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
to provide more information and to
allow event handlers to abort further dispatching of the current event
(caution is advised!).  The added arguments to
<xref linkend='XtInitProc' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
and
<xref linkend='XtSetValuesFunc' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
make the initialize_hook and set_values_hook methods
obsolete, but the hooks have been retained for those widgets that used
them in Release 3.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="set_values_almost_Procedures">
<title>set_values_almost Procedures</title>
<para>
The use of the arguments by a set_values_almost procedure was poorly
described in Release 3 and was inconsistent with other conventions.
</para>

<para>
The current specification for the manner in which a set_values_almost
procedure returns information to the Intrinsics is not compatible with
the Release 3 specification, and all widget implementations should
verify that any set_values_almost procedures conform to the current
interface.
</para>

<para>
No known implementation of the Intrinsics correctly implemented the
Release 3 interface, so it is expected that the impact of this
specification change is small.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="Query_Geometry">
<title>Query Geometry</title>
<para>
A composite widget layout routine that calls
<xref linkend='XtQueryGeometry' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
is now expected to store the complete new geometry in the intended structure;
previously the specification said ``store the changes it intends to
make''.  Only by storing the complete geometry does the child have
any way to know what other parts of the geometry may still be
flexible.  Existing widgets should not be affected by this, except
to take advantage of the new information.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="unrealizeCallback_Callback_List">
<title>unrealizeCallback Callback List</title>
<para>
In order to provide a mechanism for widgets to be notified when they
become unrealized through a call to
<xref linkend='XtUnrealizeWidget' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
the callback
list name ``unrealizeCallback'' has been defined by the Intrinsics.  A
widget class that requires notification on unrealize may declare a
callback list resource by this name.  No class is required to declare
this resource, but any class that did so in a prior revision may find
it necessary to modify the resource name if it does not wish to use the new
semantics.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="Subclasses_of_WMShell">
<title>Subclasses of WMShell</title>
<para>
The formal adoption of the <emphasis remap='I'>Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual.</emphasis> as
an X Consortium standard has meant the addition of four fields to
<function>WMShellPart</function>
and one field to
<function>TopLevelShellPart</function>.
In deference to some
widget libraries that had developed their own additional conventions
to provide binary compatibility, these five new fields were added at
the end of the respective data structures.
</para>

<para>
To provide more convenience for TransientShells, a field was added
to the previously empty
<function>TransientShellPart</function>.
On some architectures the size of the part structure will not
have changed as a result of this.
</para>

<para>
Any widget implementation whose class is a subclass of
TopLevelShell
or
TransientShell
must at minimum be
recompiled with the new data structure declarations.  Because
<function>WMShellPart</function>
no longer contains a contiguous
<function>XSizeHints</function>
data structure,
a subclass that expected to do a single structure assignment of an
<function>XSizeHints</function>
structure to the <emphasis remap='I'>size_hints</emphasis> field of
<function>WMShellPart</function>
must be revised, though the old fields remain at the same positions within
<function>WMShellPart</function>.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="Resource_Type_Converters">
<title>Resource Type Converters</title>
<para>
A new interface declaration for resource type converters was defined
to provide more information to converters, to support conversion
cache cleanup with resource reference counting, and to allow
additional procedures to be declared to free resources.  The old
interfaces remain (in the compatibility section), and a new set of
procedures was defined that work only with the new type converter
interface.
</para>

<para>
In the now obsolete old type converter interface, converters are
reminded that they must return the size of the converted value as well
as its address.  The example indicated this, but the description of
<xref linkend='XtConverter' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
was incomplete.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="KeySym_Case_Conversion_Procedure">
<title>KeySym Case Conversion Procedure</title>
<para>
The specification for the
<xref linkend='XtCaseProc' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
function type has been changed
to match the Release 3 implementation, which included necessary
additional information required by the function (a pointer to the
display connection), and corrects the argument type of the source
KeySym parameter.  No known implementation of the Intrinsics
implemented the previously documented interface.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="Nonwidget_Objects_2">
<title>Nonwidget Objects</title>
<para>
Formal support for nonwidget objects is new to Release 4.  A
prototype implementation was latent in at least one Release 3
implementation of the Intrinsics, but the specification has changed
somewhat.  The most significant change is the requirement for a
composite widget to declare the
<function>CompositeClassExtension</function>
record with the <emphasis remap='I'>accepts_objects</emphasis> field set to
<function>True</function>
in order to permit a client to create a nonwidget child.
</para>

<para>
The addition of this extension field ensures that composite widgets
written under Release 3 will not encounter unexpected errors if an
application attempts to create a nonwidget child.  In Release 4 there
is no requirement that all composite widgets implement the extra
functionality required to manage windowless children, so the
<emphasis remap='I'>accepts_objects</emphasis> field allows a composite widget to declare that it
is not prepared to do so.
</para>
</sect2>
</sect1>

<sect1 id="Release_to_Release_Compatibility_2">
<title>Release 4 to Release 5 Compatibility</title>
<para>
At the data structure level, Release 5 retains complete binary
compatibility with Release 4.  The specification of the
<function>ObjectPart</function>,
<function>RectObjPart</function>,
<function>CorePart</function>,
<function>CompositePart</function>,
<function>ShellPart</function>,
<function>WMShellPart</function>,
<function>TopLevelShellPart</function>,
and
<function>ApplicationShellPart</function>
instance records was made less strict to permit implementations to
add internal fields to these structures.  Any implementation that
chooses to do so would, of course, force a recompilation.
The Xlib specification for
<function>XrmValue</function>
and
<function>XrmOptionDescRec</function>
was updated to use a new type,
<function>XPointer</function>,
for the <emphasis remap='I'>addr</emphasis> and <emphasis remap='I'>value</emphasis> fields, respectively, to avoid
ANSI C conformance problems.  The definition of
<function>XPointer</function>
is binary compatible with the previous implementation.
</para>
<sect2 id="baseTranslations_Resource">
<title>baseTranslations Resource</title>
<para>
A new pseudo-resource, XtNbaseTranslations, was defined to permit
application developers to specify translation tables in application
defaults files while still giving end users the ability to augment
or override individual event sequences.  This change will affect
only those applications that wish to take advantage of the new
functionality or those widgets that may have previously defined
a resource named ``baseTranslations''.
</para>

<para>
Applications wishing to take advantage of the new functionality
would change their application defaults file, e.g., from
<literallayout >
        app.widget.translations: <emphasis remap='I'>value</emphasis>
to
        app.widget.baseTranslations: <emphasis remap='I'>value</emphasis>
</literallayout>
If it is important to the application to preserve complete
compatibility of the defaults file between different versions
of the application running under Release 4 and Release 5,
the full translations can be replicated in both the ``translations''
and the ``baseTranslations'' resource.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="Resource_File_Search_Path">
<title>Resource File Search Path</title>
<para>
The current specification allows implementations greater flexibility
in defining the directory structure used to hold the application class
and per-user application defaults files.  Previous specifications
required the substitution strings to appear in the default path in a
certain order, preventing sites from collecting all the files for
a specific application together in one directory.  The Release 5
specification allows the default path to specify the substitution
strings in any order within a single path entry.  Users will need to
pay close attention to the documentation for the specific
implementation to know where to find these files and how to specify
their own
<emphasis role='strong'>XFILESEARCHPATH</emphasis>
and
<emphasis role='strong'>XUSERFILESEARCHPATH</emphasis>
values when overriding the system defaults.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="Customization_Resource">
<title>Customization Resource</title>
<para>
<xref linkend='XtResolvePathname' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
supports a new substitution string, %C, for specifying separate
application class resource files according to arbitrary user-specified
categories.  The primary motivation for this addition was separate
monochrome and color application class defaults files.  The
substitution value is obtained by querying the current resource
database for the application resource name ``customization'', class
``Customization''.  Any application that previously used this
resource name and class will need to be aware of the possibly
conflicting semantics.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="Per_Screen_Resource_Database">
<title>Per-Screen Resource Database</title>
<para>
To allow a user to specify separate preferences for each screen of a
display, a per-screen resource specification string has been added and
multiple resource databases are created; one for each screen.  This
will affect any application that modified the (formerly unique)
resource database associated with the display subsequent to the Intrinsics
database initialization.  Such applications will need to be aware
of the particular screen on which each shell widget is to be created.
</para>

<para>
Although the wording of the specification changed substantially in the
description of the process by which the resource database(s) is
initialized, the net effect is the same as in prior releases with the
exception of the added per-screen resource specification and the new
customization substitution string in
<xref linkend='XtResolvePathname' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="Internationalization_of_Applications">
<title>Internationalization of Applications</title>
<para>
Internationalization as defined by ANSI is a technology that
allows support of an application in a single locale.  In
adding support for internationalization to the Intrinsics
the restrictions of this model have been followed.
In particular, the new Intrinsics interfaces are designed not to
preclude an application from using other alternatives.
For this reason, no Intrinsics routine makes a call to establish the
locale.   However, a convenience routine to establish the
locale at initialize time has been provided, in the form
of a default procedure that must be explicitly installed
if the application desires ANSI C locale behavior.
</para>

<para>
As many objects in X, particularly resource databases, now inherit
the global locale when they are created, applications wishing to use
the ANSI C locale model should use the new function
<function>XtSetLanguageProc</function>
to do so.
</para>

<para>
The internationalization additions also define event filters
as a part of the Xlib Input Method specifications.  The
Intrinsics enable the use of event filters through additions to
<xref linkend='XtDispatchEvent' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
Applications that may not be dispatching all events through
<xref linkend='XtDispatchEvent' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
should be reviewed in the context of this new input method mechanism.
</para>

<para>
In order to permit internationalization of error messages, the name
and path of the error database file are now allowed to be
implementation-dependent.
No adequate standard mechanism has yet been suggested to
allow the Intrinsics to locate the database from localization information
supplied by the client.
</para>

<para>
The previous specification for the syntax of the language string
specified by
<function>xnlLanguage</function>
has been dropped to avoid potential conflicts with other standards.
The language string syntax is now implementation-defined.
The example syntax cited is consistent with the previous
specification.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="Permanently_Allocated_Strings">
<title>Permanently Allocated Strings</title>
<para>
In order to permit additional memory savings, an Xlib interface was
added to allow the resource manager to avoid copying certain string
constants.  The Intrinsics specification was updated to explicitly require
the Object <emphasis remap='I'>class_name</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>resource_name</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>resource_class</emphasis>,
<emphasis remap='I'>resource_type</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>default_type</emphasis> in resource tables, Core <emphasis remap='I'>actions</emphasis>
<emphasis remap='I'>string</emphasis> field, and Constraint <emphasis remap='I'>resource_name</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>resource_class</emphasis>,
<emphasis remap='I'>resource_type</emphasis>, and <emphasis remap='I'>default_type</emphasis> resource fields to be
permanently allocated.  This explicit requirement is expected to
affect only applications that may create and destroy classes
on the fly.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="Arguments_to_Existing_Functions">
<title>Arguments to Existing Functions</title>

<xref linkend='XtOpenDisplay' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
<xref linkend='XtDisplayInitialize' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
and
<xref linkend='XtInitialize' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
were changed from

annoying typecasting in ANSI C environments.

</sect2>
</sect1>

<sect1 id="Release_to_Release_Compatibility_3">
<title>Release 5 to Release 6 Compatibility</title>
<para>
At the data structure level, Release 6 retains binary compatibility
with Release 5 for all data structures except
<function>WMShellPart</function>.
Three resources were added to the specification.
The known implementations had unused space in the data structure,
therefore on some architectures and implementations,
the size of the part structure will not have changed as a result of this.
</para>
<sect2 id="Widget_Internals">
<title>Widget Internals</title>
<para>
Two new widget methods for instance allocation and deallocation were added
to the Object class.  These new methods
allow widgets to be treated as C++ objects in the C++ environment
when an appropriate allocation method is specified or inherited
by the widget class.
</para>

<para>
The textual descriptions of the processes of widget creation and
widget destruction have been edited to provide clarification to widget
writers.  Widgets writers may have reason to rely on the specific order of
the stages of widget creation and destruction; with that motivation,
the specification now more exactly describes the process.
</para>

<para>
As a convenience, an interface to locate a widget class extension
record on a linked list,
<xref linkend='XtGetClassExtension' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
has been added.
</para>

<para>
A new option to allow bundled changes to the managed set of a Composite
widget is introduced in the Composite class extension record.
Widgets that define a change_managed procedure that can accommodate
additions and deletions to the managed set of children in a single
invocation should set allows_change_managed_set to <function>True</function> in the
extension record.
</para>

<para>
The wording of the process followed by
<xref linkend='XtUnmanageChildren' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
has changed slightly to better handle changes to the managed set
during phase 2 destroy processing.
</para>

<para>
A new exposure event compression flag,
<function>XtExposeNoRegion</function>,
was added.  Many widgets specify exposure compression, but either
ignore the actual damage region passed to the core expose procedure or
use only the cumulative bounding box data available in the event.
Widgets with expose procedures that do not make use of exact
exposure region information can indicate that the Intrinsics need not
compute the region.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="General_Application_Development">
<title>General Application Development</title>
<para>
<xref linkend='XtOpenApplication' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
is a new convenience procedure to initialize the toolkit, create an
application context, open an X display connection, and create the
root of the widget instance tree.  It is identical to the interface
it replaces,
<xref linkend='XtAppInitialize' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
in all respects except that it takes an additional argument specifying
the widget class of the root shell to create.
This interface is now the recommended one so that clients may easily
become session participants.
The old convenience procedures appear in the compatibility section.
</para>

<para>
The toolkit initialization function
<xref linkend='XtToolkitInitialize' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
may be called multiple times without penalty.
</para>

<para>
In order to optimize changes in geometry to a set of geometry-managed
children, a new interface,
<xref linkend='XtChangeManagedSet' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,

<sect2 id="Communication_with_Window_and_Session_Managers">
<title>Communication with Window and Session Managers</title>
<para>
The revision of the <emphasis remap='I'>Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual.</emphasis> as an X Consortium standard has resulted
in the addition of three fields to the specification of
<function>WMShellPart</function>.
These are <emphasis remap='I'>urgency</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>client_leader</emphasis>, and <emphasis remap='I'>window_role</emphasis>.
</para>

<para>
The adoption of the <emphasis remap='I'>X Session Management Protocol</emphasis> as an X Consortium
standard has resulted in the addition of a new shell widget,
<function>SessionShell</function>,
and an accompanying subclass verification interface,
<function>XtIsSessionShell</function>.
This widget provides support for communication between an application
and a session manager, as well as a window manager.
In order to preserve compatibility with existing subclasses of
<function>ApplicationShell</function>,
the
<function>ApplicationShell</function>
was subclassed to create the new widget class.
The session protocol requires a modal response to certain checkpointing
operations by participating applications.  The
<function>SessionShell</function>
structures
the application's notification of and responses to messages from the session
manager by use of various callback lists and by use of the new interfaces
<xref linkend='XtSessionGetToken' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
and
<xref linkend='XtSessionReturnToken' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
There is also a new command line argument, -xtsessionID, which facilitates
the session manager in restarting applications based on the Intrinsics.
</para>

<para>
The resource name and class strings defined by the Intrinsics shell
widgets in
<function>&lt;X11/Shell.h&gt;</function>
are now listed in Appendix E.  The addition of a new symbol
for the
<function>WMShell</function>
<emphasis remap='I'>wait_for_wm</emphasis> resource was made to bring the external symbol
and the string it represents into agreement.  The actual resource name
string in
<function>WMShell</function>
has not changed.
The resource representation type of the XtNwinGravity resource of the
<function>WMShell</function>
was changed to XtRGravity in order to register a type
converter so that window gravity resource values could be specified by name.
</para>

A clarification to the specification was made to indicate that geometry
requests may include current values along with the requested changes.

<sect2 id="Event_Management_2">
<title>Event Management</title>
<para>
In Release 6, support is provided for registering selectors
and event handlers for events generated by X protocol extensions
and for dispatching those events to the appropriate widget.
The new event handler registration interfaces are
<xref linkend='XtInsertEventTypeHandler' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
and
<xref linkend='XtRemoveEventTypeHandler' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
Since the mechanism to indicate selection of extension events is specific
to the extension being used, the Intrinsics introduces
<xref linkend='XtRegisterExtensionSelector' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
which allows the application to select for the events of interest.
In order to change the dispatching algorithm to accommodate extension events
as well as core X protocol events,
the Intrinsics event dispatcher may now be replaced or enveloped
by the application with
<xref linkend='XtSetEventDispatcher' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
The dispatcher may wish to call
<xref linkend='XtGetKeyboardFocusWidget' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
to determine the widget with the current Intrinsics keyboard focus.
A dispatcher, after determining the destination widget, may use
<xref linkend='XtDispatchEventToWidget' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
to cause the event to be dispatched to the event handlers registered
by a specific widget.
</para>

<para>
To permit the dispatching of events
for nonwidget drawables, such as pixmaps that are not associated
with a widget's window,
<xref linkend='XtRegisterDrawable' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
and
<xref linkend='XtUnregisterDrawable' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
have been added to the library.  A related update was made to
the description of
<xref linkend='XtWindowToWidget' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.

then the default key translator will
use the first keysym if Shift and/or ShiftLock is on and will
use the second keysym if neither is on.  Otherwise, it will
ignore NumLock and apply the normal protocol semantics.

<para>
The targets of selection requests may be parameterized, as described
by the revised <emphasis remap='I'>Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual.</emphasis>.
When such requests are made,
<xref linkend='XtSetSelectionParameters' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
is used by the requestor to specify the target parameters and
<xref linkend='XtGetSelectionParameters' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
is used by the selection owner to retrieve the parameters.
When a parameterized target is specified in the context of a bundled

are used to envelop the assembly of the request.
When the parameters themselves are the names of properties,
the Intrinsics provides support for the economical use of property atom names;

The hook callbacks permit the external agent to register interest
in groups or classes of toolkit activity and to be notified of the
type and details of the activity as it occurs.  The new interfaces
related to this effort are
