Wimp03.s: check that pollword was in application space was corrupting R3 leading to an address exception (!) on pre Medusa targets
Wimp08.s: compare had erroneously been change to equality check, leading to screwy memory allocation and much instability on 3.50 and 3.60 especially when applications quit

Version 5.23. Not tagged

In Wimp-5_22 change (to not use the bitfield definition as a build switch) the sense got inverted, so would have hardwired text for international versions.

Version 5.23. Not tagged

When matching an icon on the iconbar the window is initially matched correctly, but the "is this the right task" filter step was trying to compare the handle with -1. The result was that you would get the first match for any iconbar icon rather than a match for *your* iconbar icon.
Unrelated: Tiling.s/Iconbar.s add a couple of comments and use symbols instead of magic numbers.
Tested with a quality 3 line BASIC program, no longer returns icon #0 all the time.

Version 5.23. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_23'

Minor fixups as part of univeral !Boot work.
Options no longer ASSERT on International_Help (which is a definition exported by the kernel, rather than a build switch), and instead define a switch which is true for > 3.50.
Non UTF8 supporting case has simple substitutes for Wimp_TextOp.
Legacy_DomainId and LegacyIRQsema no longer cause NULL pointer dereference.
MOVeQ => MOVEQ to placate ObjAsm.

Ursula_RPC version built and used briefly on RISC OS 4.02 host. No other run time testing.

Version 5.22. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_22'

Detail:
  s/Wimp10 - cachetoolspritedata was using two slightly different ColourTrans calls for reading the table size and then filling the table in. This was resulting in the 'generate wide table' flag sometimes being ignored when the table size was checked, resulting in too little memory being allocated and so heap corruption when the table generation call overflowed the end.

  Tested on Pandora
  Fixes "not a heap block" errors when entering desktop


Version 5.21. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_21'

With the introduction of 16bpp/32bpp modes it became possible to request tables from ColourTrans which used > 1 byte per colour, but the Wimp wasn't using this extension. Therefore tool sprites designed in 8bpp or less would be quantised horribly when plotted in a 16bpp or 32bpp mode.
The Wimp now requests and plots with a wide table, and to avoid thrashing ColourTrans so much with the prevalence of individually paletted icon sprites, keeps the table seperately to the icon sprites ones. At worst (in 32bpp) this uses an extra 256x4 bytes of RAM.
Trace.s: Split out the tracing routines from Wimp10 as it was getting a bit big.
Tiling.s: Namespace change for the icons versus tools distinction. Removed some unnecessary PC+8/PC+12 confused NOPs.
Tiling3D.s: Namespace change for the icons versus tools distinction.
Wimp01.s: New set of variables to track the tool translation tables separately. Various jiggling to keep ADRs in range.
Wimp02.s: Namespace change. Remove some double handling in Wimp_SetColourMapping.
Wimp04.s: Namespace change. Made factor rationalisation common to both the icon and tool grinding code. Removed dual use of cachespritedata for both icons and tools. The tintfunc moves to Wimp10. Service_InvalidateCache confusion resolved by adding a new flag to remember that the tools need regenerating rather than just marking the tool list as missing (which subsequently got restored in Tool_SpriteOp without actually doing any palette work.
Wimp10.s: Label tools_area renamed as it was immensely confusing to have that (which was actually holding the RMA allocation of the tool_list) and tool_area (which contains the sprite area) hanging around. Changed references to use tools-only cachetolspritedata routine. Added 'wide' flags to sprite op and colour trans calls. Tool_SpriteOp changed to actually regenerate the colour tables when they're known invalid (previously the tools list pointer was merely restored and no colour tables used). Trace functions extracted. Resolved confusion as to what recache_tools_trans and recache_tools_trans2 should be doing.

Tested with 4bpp "NewLook" sprites in 4bpp/8bpp/16bpp/32bpp and 8bpp smooth greyscaled "Steel" tool sprites in same modes.
Also ran a task window doing repeated Service_InvalidateCache calls while monitoring the RMA for leaks.
Generally navigated around some directories to ensure that inverse icons (during double click) and filer windows (with individually paletted sprites) were being rendered.

Messages updated to be more specific/helpful.
Magic numbers for OS_File swapped to use names from Hdr:HighFSI.

Version 5.15. Not tagged

Therefore, when in ROM, the ROM theme can be inferred. When a different theme is selected by the user in the boot sequence, that is respected.
Restore a lost error message for *ICONSPRITES when the file doesn't exist even after trying all the 11/22/23 suffix and prefixes. This seems to have been lost post RISC OS 3.10 when Sprites22 support was added, but it is an error for the file given to not exist at all (cf. *TOOLSPRITES).
Typos in docs ammended.

Retagged as Wimp-5_14.

RISC OS Select has added reasons 18-27 and this change implements those that map directly to features that already exist (unimplemented ones return an error as before).
One additional reason, 28, permits the reading of the flags collected from the *WimpVisualFlags command so that applications can discover if the cheesy 3D borders are on or not.

Detail:
  s/Wimp, s/Wimp01, s/Wimp02, s/Wimp07, s/Wimp08 - Try using OS_ReadSysInfo 6 to get IRQsema & DomainId locations before falling back on legacy values. Store the pointers in module workspace for speedy access.

Version 5.13. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_13'

Detail:
  s/Wimp03, s/Wimp07 - When saving the VFP context the Wimp now uses lazy context switching where possible, via a combination of the Lazy & AppSpace flags

Version 5.11. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_11'

Detail:
  s/Wimp04 - The checkhandle* routines now checks that the window pointer is word aligned before attempting to load any data from it.
  This prevents alignment faults on ARMv6+, and should result in more accurate sanity checks in general.
Admin:
  Tested on rev C2 beagleboard.

Version 5.10. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_10'

Detail:
  s/Wimp, s/Wimp01, s/Wimp02, s/Wimp03, s/Wimp07 - The Wimp now uses the VFPSupport module to switch VFP contexts when performing task switches.
  Each task begins with the null context active (i.e. no VFP/NEON access). When paging out a task the ID of the active context is saved in the Wimp's per-task workspace. This context is then restored when the task is about to be resumed.
  Context save/restore is performed while the right task's memory is paged in, so it's safe to use with contexts located in application space.

  Tested with Iyonix & Beagle ROM builds.


Version 5.09. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_09'

Detail:
  s/Wimp05 (setcaretcoords_fancy), s/Wimp07 - Fix some dodgy comments that had trailing backslashes, causing the next line of code to be gobbled by objasm and omitted from the compiled code. The code in question has been around for a long time, so I guess a recent objasm change (or the switch from aasm) has caused the dodgy comments to turn malicious. The setcaretcoords_fancy bug was the cause of bug #241 in the ROOL tracker.
  s/Wimp05 (int_set_caret_position) - While testing the #241 fix, I found that opening the filer 'rename' menu, typing text (enough to cause the icon to scroll), and then clicking away to close the menu would cause an infinite abort loop. The cause seemed to be int_set_caret_position mistakenly setting the caret window ptr to 0 instead of nullptr (-1), which would then cause setwindowptrs to die when it tried dereferencing what it thought was a valid pointer. Although initially confused about how this bug has gone unnoticed so far, I've now realised the abort was just down to alignment exceptions being turned on and the code would have "worked" on <=ARMv5.
Admin:
  Tested on rev C2 beagleboard.
  Fixes bug #241.


Version 5.08. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_08'

Detail:
  The "pointer leaving window" code now checks that ptrtask != nullptr before attempting to use it as an offset to the workspace pointer. This is required when alignment exceptions are enabled because nullptr is -1.

Version 5.05. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_05'

  Allow the outline to be plotted over the window tools.
Detail:
  The options available through WimpVisualFlags have been extended with two
  new options that control how the window outline is plotted.

  WimpVisualFlags -WindowOutlineColour <&RRGGBB> -WindowOutlineOver

  WindowOutlineColour defines the colour to be used for the window outline.
  It allows theme designers to choose a window outline colour that fits
  in with a theme's general colour scheme. Default value is black.

  WindowOutlineOver controls if the window outline is plotted over the
  toolicons. It can be used to ensure that there is a window outline
  visible even when the toolicons are borderless. Default value is off.

Version 5.04. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_04'

Detail:
  Previous versions of the Window Manager required toolicons to have pixels
  that were transparent so that the background colour could be used to indicate
  whether a window had input focus or not. This means that new sets of toolicons
  either have to have transparent pixels or lose indication of input focus.
  To remove this limitation the support for toolicons has been extended so
  that a different set of toolicons can be used for the window with the input
  focus.

  The new icons have the prefix 'f' added to their names as follows:
    <toolname>    standard version of toolicon
    p<toolname>   pressed version of toolicon
    f<toolname>   focus version of toolicon
    pf<toolname>  pressed+focus version of toolicon

  Code has been added to ensure that all toolicons are represented.
  This is done in two stages; first the pressed icons are checked and for any
  missing its non-pressed equivalent will be filled in. Next the focus icons
  are checked and for missing ones its non-focus equivalent will be used.

Version 5.03. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_03'

  Fixed corruption of table with characters to be mapped to WimpSymbol.
Detail:
  There was an ALIGN statement missing just above the code for WimpWriteDir

  The table used to map characters to the WimpSymbol font had become corrupted
  which prevented the mapping from working correctly. This resulted in keyboard
  shortcuts disappearing in menus when using fonts that don't have definitions
  for the required characters, in particular the up-arrow representing shift.
