2008-09-12 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: reword sentence about characters allowed in key names to avoid some ambiguity. Patch by Simon McVittie 2008-03-04 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: bump version to 1.1-draft, so we can publish it. See http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14097 2007-09-10 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: fix Icon key in example: it was using the .png extension for an icon name. Which is wrong :-) 2007-07-27 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: don't say that the files are encoded as lines of 8-bit characters, which is wrong for UTF-8. Use something a bit better proposed by Matthias Clasen Bug #11417. 2007-05-30 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: s/DESKTOP_LAUNCH_ID/DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID/ Thanks to Dan Winship for catching this. Bug #11081. 2007-04-28 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: scanf behavior is locale-dependent, and the numeric type shouldn't be. Specify that the value is a floating point number as recognized by scanf in the C locale. Thanks to Dan Winship for catching this. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-April/009732.html 2007-04-28 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: clarify description for the TryExec key. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009556.html 2007-04-28 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: change "the $PATH" to "the $PATH environment variable". http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009552.html 2007-04-28 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: improve the description of the Comment key. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009440.html 2007-04-28 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: a desktop file of type Application should always have an Exec key. Same for Link Type and URL key. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009437.html 2007-04-28 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: desktop files of type Directory have a .directory extension right now (at least in GNOME), but according to the spec, this is wrong. The patch fixes this. Also, it removes a small part of text explaining the name of a desktop file describing a directory. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009437.html 2007-04-28 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml:clarify a bit the text about keys that only makes sense in a specific context. Also, state that the keys should not be used outside of this context. For example, the URL key should not be present if the type is not Link. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009437.html 2007-04-28 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: small typo http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009437.html 2007-04-28 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: this changes the type of the version from numeric to string. It's needed if we consider the possibility that there are some desktop entry files out there using 0.9.x as a value for this key. The change doesn't break anything. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009437.html 2007-04-28 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: UnmountIcon is a localestring key. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009437.html 2007-04-28 Vincent Untz * desktop-entry-spec.xml: clarify that lists should always end with a semicolon, even if there's only one value. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009437.html 2007-02-06 Waldo Bastian * Clearify that %U may result in either local paths or file: URLs * Deprecate %d, %n, %D and %N. They aren't usable on Gnome and you can do the same with dirname and basename in a script. * Clearify that %f, %u, %F or %U should only be used once. * Clearify that these codes should be ignored if there is no file to open. * Forbid the use of field codes in quoted arguments. * Clearify that %F and %U should only be used as a stand alone argument. * Bumped version to 1.0 2006-10-30 Waldo Bastian * Remove equal sign from reserved characters in Exec args * Add backslash to list of reserved characters in Exec args 2006-10-04 Waldo Bastian * Deprecate %v, it is FSDevice specific 2006-08-30 Waldo Bastian * list FSDevice type as KDE specific * refer to Icon Theme Specification 2006-08-22 Waldo Bastian * clarification of Exec key * correction of StartupWMClass, clarify StartupNotify (Lubos Lunak) * deprecate SortOrder and FilePattern key (Vincent Untz) * remove section on "MIME Type caching" from spec (Vincent Untz) * groups and keys must be unique (Vincent Untz) See http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2006-August/008446.html 2006-05-28 Vincent Untz * cleanup of text and some reorg for clearity * move all of the legacy-mixed encoding stuff to the appendix * deprecate the Swallow* keys * improve definition of group headers * reorder the list of standard keys so they are sorted by type See http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2006-May/008131.html Tue Jul 13 18:04:11 2004 Jonathan Blandford * desktop-entry-spec.xml: Update the MIME description to make it more relevent. 2004-04-19 Mark McLoughlin Pointed out by Ville Skyttä * desktop-entry-spec.xml: fix minor typo. 2004-04-18 Mark McLoughlin Patch from Ville Skyttä * desktop-entry-spec.xml: editorial changes, fixes for typos and general cleanups. Mon Jul 7 18:26:14 2003 Owen Taylor * destop-entry-spec.sgml: Merge changes by Havoc Pennington that had been made in web module: 2002/04/20: add changes posted to xdg-list a while back Sat Aug 24 17:00:48 2002 Owen Taylor * desktop-entry-spec.sgml: In legacy-mixed table, fix duplicate pt entry, language code for Armenian. Make explicit that language-country locale tags can match a single language in the table. (Pablo Saratxaga) Tue Mar 13 12:37:03 2001 Owen Taylor * 0.9.3 * Reworked the description of encoding handling for Legacy-Mixed for clarity and added a bit more details on how encoding-matching should be done.
