* Better support of non ISO-8859-1 window and icon titles.
* Bug fixes
Apart from fixing a number of minor or rare problems, it addresses
slow opaque window movement and resizing that was not encountered in
the 2.2.x releases. If you do not use opaque window movement or resizing
and did not encounter any of the bugs described below you do not need
to upgrade. System administrators are strongly encouraged to move to
2.4.6 from any earlier 2.4.x release.
New features:
-------------
* New style BackingStoreWindowDefault which is the default
now. Fvwm no longer disables backing store on windows by
default. This may help with some applications that do not redraw
properly.
* Reduced the time in which fvwm attempts to grab the pointer.
Bug fixes:
----------
* Fixed minor problems in popping sub menus up and down.
* Fixed moving windows between pages with the keyboard.

head setup.

windows.

fast.

* Fixed a crash with the UseStyle style in combination with
HilightBack.

* Fixed pixmap background of FvwmButtons behind buttons with only
text.

illegal icon.
* Fixed a configure problem with libstroke-0.5.1.
* Fixed bug that sometimes caused unnecessary redraws when a style
was changed.
* Fixed crash when something like "$[$v]" appeared in a command.
* Fixed parsing of conditions with more than one comma.

earlier 2.4.x release to 2.4.4.

circumstances.

New instruction Key for key bindings. New command SendToModule ScriptName
SendString.
* Command "Silent" when precedes "Key", "Mouse" and "PointerKey"
disables warning messages.

Highlights:
-----------
** A new "Theme" module called FvwmTheme and "colour sets"
including 8 kinds of gradients and pixmap support controlling
the appearance of borders, title bars, frames, 3D shadows,
menus and modules.
** GNOME compliance.
GNOME hints can be turned on and off for individual windows.
** Mouse stroke support.
You will need the libstroke library, found at
http://www.etla.net/~willey/projects/libstroke/
** Much more flexibility and control in menu definition and menu
styles including dynamically generated menus and some menu
generating scripts.
** Almost all commands, including Key, Mouse and Style, take
effect immediately. The Recapture command is no longer needed

concept of layers. See the fvwm2 man page for details.
