Ratpoison is a simple Window Manager with no fat library
dependencies, no fancy graphics, no window decorations,
and no flashy wank. It is largely modelled after GNU
Screen which has done wonders in virtual terminal market.
All interaction with the window manager is done through
keystrokes. ratpoison has a prefix map to minimize the
key clobbering that cripples EMACS and other quality
pieces of software.

- decreased nice() value in wmsetbg
- applied gnome panel not-covering patch
- added item copy to WPrefs menu editor
- added locale selection code for menu in wmaker.inst
- fixed bug in built-in xpm support
- removed plugin support
- fixed a crash bug in WPrefs menu editor
- added updated single-click patch
- fixed WindozeCycling config in WPrefs
- fixed circulate raise withour WindozeCycling
- added wmagnify utility
- changed behaviour of control/shift double click on titlebar for maximize
- updated getstyle to account for extendspace options
- fixed weird color bug in jpeg loader
- improved and simplified fonts configuration for multibyte languages
- cleaned ParseCommand() and renamed to TokenizeString()
- rewrote menu editor in WPrefs
- fixed circulateraise on non-windoze cycling mode
- fixed bug with incorrect reading of ppm files
- fixed bug with incorrect window placement using automatic placement, while
there were shaded windows on other workspaces
- fixed some buffer overflow issues in WINGs
- fixed bug with WPrefs.app not selecting the menu appearance options after
startup.
- fixed some memory leaks generated by wstrappend()
- fixed code that was dependant on the order of evaluation in wrlib. This
fixed a number of problems, like greyscale jpegs that showed up in red
and possibly the problems with pseudocolor displays.
- made clicks on unfocused windows be effective on focus follow mouse/sloppy
Qt-based configuration utility for bbkeys to replace the simplistic
terminal-based one included.

Provide keyboard shortcuts for X11R6, specifically intended for use with
the Blackbox window manager but usable with any.
Can bind actions such as executing commands, altering the states of windows,
switching workspaces, etc. to arbitrary keys.
Note: since the basic package does not install the qt-based configuration
tool, bbkeys ought to be invoked with the -noqt option unless you also
install the wm/bbkeys-qt package.

using the newest PNG library won't work on system with an older one. To
prevent such problems with precompiled binary packages require at least
"png-1.0.9nb1" in all dependences.
Convert most MESSAGE files to new syntax (${VARIABLE} gets replaced,
not @VARIABLE@, nor @@VARIABLE@@).
By default, substitutions are done for LOCALBASE, PKGNAME, PREFIX,
X11BASE, X11PREFIX; additional patterns can be added via MESSAGE_SUBST.
Clean up some packages while I'm there; add RCS tags to most MESSAGEs.
Remove some uninteresting MESSAGEs.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
