## 2021-01-15 1.5.0
WARNING: Next scheduled release (2021-04-15) will switch the default session root
to $XDG_DATA_HOME ( default on most distributions: ~/.local/share/nsm/ )
With the next release prepare to either
1) Move old sessions to the new root directory (preferred)
2) Symlink "~/NSM Sessions" to the new root directory
3) use the nsmd --session-root commandline argument.

nsmd:
 Command line option --quiet: Suppress messages except warnings and errors
 Protect against orphaned clients or daemons when the server, or even a GUI, crashes.
 Replace cowboy-slang in info-level OSC with descriptive, technical messages.

Legacy-GUI:
 Fix manpage description and usage with the correct executable name
 Fix resizing to very small and back. ( / TheGreatWhiteShark )

Extras:
 This repository now contains extras (libraries, programs, documentation etc.)
 Extras are technically not connected to the main programs of this repository.
 There is no dependency to any "extra" nor any license implications.
 Please read extras/README.md.

 nsm.h was moved to extras/nsm.h
 "extras/pynsm" is now a part of NEW-SM. It was a standalone git repo until now.

## 2020-07-15 1.4.0
Add documentation and manpages.

Legacy-GUI:
 Overhaul look and feel.
 Rewrite labels and buttons with unambiguous descriptions.
 Protect text-input dialog windows from empty strings, like "Add New Client" or "New Session"
 Scale icons, support more icon formats.
 Show all icons and buttons when attaching to a running nsmd session
 Various small fixes.
 Always show correct session name, no matter how the session was loaded or how the GUI was started

nsmd:
 NSM_API_VERSION_MINOR from 0 to 1 (1.0 -> 1.1)
 Repair nsmd to correctly send client data when running headless and a GUI announces later.
 ClientId generation now prevent collision with existing IDs.
 nsmd command line option --load-session to directly load one (Berkelder, Rik)
 Better detection of clients that failed to launch leads to faster session startup (by 5 seconds)
 Users get informed by client-label if an executable is not present on the system or permission denied
 Fixed reply for listing sessions from a plain "Done." to proper reply path with empty string as terminal symbol  "/reply", "/nsm/server/list", ""
 Fix operation reply to last treated client instead to reply to sender (Picot, Mathieu  / houston)
 /nsm/gui/session/name send consistent session name/relative-path pair to the annouced GUI, no matter how the session was loaded.

nsm.h
 :optional-gui: support to nsm.h, for other applications to include and use. (Meyer, Hermann / brummer)
