Changes since 1.4.8
* Incompatible changes
** command `compat' and the various def* compat commands were removed
** `msgwait', `rudeness', `startupmessage', `warp' are now variables
The msgwait, rudeness, startup_message and warp commands will stay
around for a few releases. Upgrade your config file now!
* Feature/misc changes
** XRandR support
ratpoison now uses XRandR to detect screens additions/removals at
runtime. The Xinerama support has been removed.
** the focus* commands can be used to navigate across screens
** window completion match by substring, case-insensitive
** new variable `framemsgwait'
Timeout (in seconds) for the `Current frame' message window.
If set to -1, no message is shown.
** better `select' error handling
** the command `set' with no argument dumps a list of all variables/values
** unknown commands are now logged as warnings to stdout too
Should help debugging a config file.
** various cleanups and minor bugfixes
* Packaging changes
** ratpoison now depends on libXrandr instead of libXinerama
** ratpoison doesn't link against libhistory by default any more
Use ./configure --enable-history to force the use of said library.
** no ChangeLog file
Please use the git repository instead. Savannah offers a web interface.
** no more timestamps in compiled code
Should help reproducible builds.

pulling in a bunch of tool dependencies just to generate such.

- Various DESTDIR fixes (especially around the default-config
Makefile)
- fvwm-perllib pod2man fixes.
- FvwmIconMan no longer triggers a warning about bad size hints
in the fvwm core.
- VMware windows do not disapper when switching between
fullscreen and normal state.
- Fix (de)installation with the configure options
--program-prefix, --program-suffix and
--program-transform-name.
- Remove further references to obsolete modules from man page(s).

dependency.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in stable release 2.6.7 (06-Mar-2016)
* New fvwm features:
- A new default configuration which is available when fvwm
doesn't detect a configuration file to load.
- A new conitional command "Desk n" can restrict matching
windows to a specific desk.
- A new conditional command "Screen n" to restrict matching
windows on a given Xinerama screen.
- New expansion variable "w.screen" to ascertain the Xineram
screen number a window is on.
- New command "InfoStoreClear" to remove all items in the
InfoStore.
* Removed features:
- The old and unmaintained debian/and rpm/ directories have
been remmoved; use the maintainers' copies where available.
- VMS support has been removed.
- GTK1.x support has been removed.
- GNOME-specific window hints (pre-EWMH) have been removed.
- Some fvwm modules have been removed:
- FvwmDragWell (no replacement)
- FvwmGTK (no replacement)
- FvwmSave (no replacement)
- FvwmSaveDesk (no replacement)
- FvwmScroll (no replacement)

ChangeButton command.
* fvwm-menu-desktop updated:
- Renamed default menu to XDGMenu and changed the name
of the FvwmForm to FvwmForm-XDGMenu-Config to not conflict
with someone already using FvwmMenu.
- fvwm-menu-desktop will now load defaults from the
FvwmForm-XDGMenu-Config data file.
- Improved dynamic menus by regenerating them on-the-fly.
- Added new options: --regen-cmd, --dynamic, and more.
* Bug fixes:
- A bug introduced in 2.6.6 could cause applications with
negative coordinates to be placed at strange positions. This
affected for example acroread when switching to fullscreen
mode. This has been fixed.
- FvwmButtons "Silent" option for dynamic ChangeButton commands
no longer loops infinitely.
Changes in stable release 2.6.6 (15-Mar-2016)
* New fvwm features:
- Support for Russian from Ivan Gayevskiy.
- EnvMatch supports infostore variables.
- The option "forget" to the Maximize command allows to
unmaximize a window without changing its size and position.
- Windows shaded to a corner (NW, NE, SW, SE) are reduced to a
small square.
- New option "!raise" to the WarpToWindow command.
- The new extended variables $[wa.x], $[wa.y], $[wa.width],
$[wa.height] can be used to get the geometry of the EWMH
working area, and $[dwa.x], $[dwa.y], $[dwa.width],
$[dwa.height] can be used to get the geometry of the EWMH
dynamic working area.
- The Resize commands accept "wa" or "da" as a suffix of the
width or height value. If present, the value is a percentage
of the width or height of the EWMH working area or the EWMH
dynamic working area.
- Fvwm is much more resilient against applications that flood the
window manager with repeated events.
* New module features:
- FvwmForm supports separator lines.
- New FvwmIconMan options:
IconAndSelectButton
IconAndSelectColorset
* Bug fixes:
- Provide a wrapper for the deprecation of XKeycodeToKeysym and
use XkbKeycodeToKeysym() where appropriate.
- fvwm-menu-desktop is re-written and provides better support of
the XDG menu specification.
- Fix fvwm-menu-desktop keyError bug. Use "others" if no desktop
environment found.
- FvwmIconMan had problems displaying the hilight colour on some
systems (64 bit issue?).
- Globally active windows cannot take the focus if the style
forbids programs to take focus themselves (style
!FPFocusByProgram).
- Windows no longer jump from one position to the other which
could happen in some cases with SnapAttraction. Windows now
snap to the closest window (or screen edge).
- Removing bindings had several strange side effects that are
fixed now (removing too many bindings; old bindings showing up
again after another is removed; possibly other effects).
- Windows sometimes did not get expose events (i.e. did not
redraw properly) if they were uncovered by moving a window
above them. This has been fixed.
- FvwmConsole now causes much less network traffic.
- Suppress bogus events sent to the modules when a window is
resized with the mouse.
- Properly handle the has_ref_window_moved flag for ResizeMove and
ResizeMoveMaximize.
- Removed some unnecessary redraws in FvwmPager.
- The option "NoDeskLimitY" option of the GotoPage command did
not work.
- Negative coordinates in the "rectangle" option to the Menu
commend did not work correctly. This has been fixed.
- Removes a slight graphics problem whith the ResizeMaximize
command being invoked from a window button menu.
- When an attempt to reparent a client window (i.e. decorate
it) fails, fvwm no longer throws away all events but only the
events for that window.
- The ChangeButton command of FvwmButtons used to strip
whitespace from the beginning and end of button titles and
image paths. This is no longer done.
Coma is a minimalistic X11 Window Manager.
It has 2 framing modes: default, large. Only one can be active at a given
time and is specified at startup time:
- Default means it will split up your screen into columns just large enough
to fit 80 column xterms.
- Large means it will calculate the frames based on 161 column xterms (so
one can use tmux and split it to get 80 columns in each pane).

Awesome v4.3 is the third release of the 4.x API. It comes after one and
a half years of little fixes and improvements. Awesome v4.2 was very
stable thanks to everybody's effort to unit test everything. Given no
major bug warranted a new release, this one adds a few large features
while preserving full compatibility with existing user configurations.
Some highlights:
- Better DPI handling
- Extendable awful.rules providers and better awful.spawn functions
- A brand new keygrabber API
- A new GTK color palette based theme
- Widgets improvements
