647.0. "CDE.next WIP kit?" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (John McNulty) Tue May 13 1997 05:46

Folks,

Are there any plans to release a CDE.next "Work In Progress" kit for us
to try out, or will we have to wait for the first Steel IFT release?

Regards,

John

647.2CDE_Next not in SteelUNXA::PARLOCKWed May 14 1997 15:457
For resource and other reasons, CDE_Next was dropped from the
Steel release deliverables. Steel will ship with the CDE 1.0
code base (same as in 4.x) with some minor enhancements such as
a new CDE setup utility and a workspace manager.

No CDE.next .. Bummer!

I was really looking forward to trying out DtSearch too.  

The new workspace manager sounds good though.  Is this a virtual
desktop ala fvwm?  What about an MB2 windows list?

Yes, very similar. We've implemented the windows list feature but
decided to not do what fvwm calls the "pager" graphical view of all
your workspaces. Why? The usual time and resource issues. Perhaps
in a future release. You access the functional spec at
http://www.unx.dec.com/cde/docs/gwm_fs.html if you want more detail.
