As usual, this is a maintenance release, aimed at bug-fixing;
no new features are being added to the 4.0 branch.
The main purpose of this release is compatibility with recent GTK+
releases along with other fixes.
_wasn't_ there (i.e., me not looking correctly). The documentation was
in share/doc/icewm/html, which is perfectly acceptable (a package can
organize documentation however it wants inside its doc directory).
No revision bump since it was bumped just some minutes ago.
- Disable i18n under NetBSD < 2.0. It doesn't let icewm run (even when
pkgsrc's libiconv is used). If anybody has a better way to really
solve the problem...). Fixes PR pkg/23979 by syn at sceen.net.
- While here, move HTML documentation out of share/doc/html.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in development release 2.5.8 (31-Oct-2003)
* New prefix command KeepRc.
* Renamed the Cond command to TestRc, and the On command to Test.
Removed the CondCase command. Use "KeepRc TestRc" instead.

levels to break out of. Break now has a return code of -2
("Break").
* Directions can be abbreviated with -, _, [, ], <, >, v or ^ like
in key or mouse bindings.
* New extended variable $[func.context].
* New Style option MoveByProgramMethod. Tries to autodetect
whether application windows are moved honouring the ICCCM or not
(default). The method can be overridden manually if the
detection does not work.
* fvwm supports tear off menus. See the "Tear Off Menus" section
in the man page or press Backspace on any menu to try them out.
* fvwm now handles what Unicode calls "combining characters" (i.e.
marks drawn on top of other characters).
* New commands WindowStyle and DestroyWindowStyle for individual
(per window) styles.
* The conditions !Current... and !Layer now work as expected.
* Added a nice autohide script to the FAQ.
* FvwmAnimate now supports dynamical commands "pause", "play",
"push", "pop" and "reset" to manipulate the playing state.

The WMI Team is proud to announce the long awaited wmi-8 release which comes
with many improvements, code refactorings and bug fixes.
Note: If you're user of gcc-2.95 make sure to add:
bar.buttons=no
to your $HOME/.wmi/common.conf file in order to get WMI up and running.
Changes:
========
+ select-client action for monitor-wide fast focussing of clients
+ cycle-frame action readded for cycling frames
+ toggle-frames action added for toggling frames
(older raise-all-frames has been removed)
+ cycle-group action added for group based cycling
- cycle-prev/next removed
+ attach-all-clients action implemented which attaches all detached
clients to the current workspace
+ changed tab colorization of unfocussed clients of the active group
to a different default than unfocussed clients of inactive groups
+ dynamic border width configuration for frames and clients
+ toggle-border(s) actions for toggling the border on the fly
+ new stacking order remebering of all WMI objects (clients,
frames, groups, workspaces) implemented
+ unfocussed-groups.mode option for common.conf implemented (this
option has two modes (show/hide) which is used for default hiding
other (unfocussed) groups
+ toggle-unfocussed-groups action which toggles the visibility of
unfocussed groups implemented
+ lock implemented using lock.password common.conf property
+ sticky group (monitor-wide) implemented with new actions
+ sticky-client action implemented which makes a client sticky
+ unsticky-client action implemented which resets a sticky client
to normal floating state
+ added frame.buttons option to common.conf for frame button visibility
+ applied Marcin Pawliks control keys patch for input mode
+ applied Markus Lindorfers patch for Solaris support
+ implemented Xft support
+ implemented new shortcut handling with abstract syntax
{extern,intern,chain}..keys=[+::]*+
+ implemented new option 'default.client-mode' to common.conf
which sets the default mode for unknown apps.
+ wmiremote -p pretty prints current key bindungs of running WMI
session as ASCII art to the terminal
+ implemented mouse-wheel based workspace and group cycling
+ eliminated various compiler warnings (mostly unserious ones)
+ destroy-action for self-defined chain and extern actions implemented
+ implemented select-frames action
- removed autowarping the pointer
+ drastic code size optimizations (removed useless inlines,
made unsigned to explicit unsigned int, etc.)
+ renamed toggle-frames to toggle-focus-mode
+ renamed toggle-client-state to toggle-client-mode
+ new default key bindings only using alt+<...>, shift+alt+<...> and
ctrl+alt+<...>
- removed detachAllButton from floatbar (consistency reasons)
- removed all left frame buttons
+ close button now scales better by big fonts (only 3 pixel center)
+ toggle-focus-mode button in floatbar now gives feedback about
active mode like (overlapping=floating/non-overlapping=maximized)
+ implemented bigger tolerance for diagonal resize pointer
+ new slot behavior for NeXTish dockapps (gkrellm experimental)
removed slot.width and slot.justification, fast invocation menu
not implemented yet, cause this should be done externally
- removed autoraising of grouped clients if a floating client
is attached/focussed
+ ICCCM overwork (should solve most known BUGs)
+ focus clients through click into client area with alt key pressed
+ written welcome section in wmi(1) manual page for newbies
+ pop up manual page wmi(1) within xterm when wmi is started first
+ moved actions detail description to actions.conf file
Changes:
* Changed default install program to install-sh.
* Removed 'exec' from /bin/sh call to execute command so that more
complex commands can be entered.
* Merged dock kde systray support patch.
* Fixed couple XFree calls in dock module.
* WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS handling fixes. (Does something still use
this/bother supporting indexed colour models at all?)
* Fixed stippled tab font when -i18n was not set.
* Only kill active grab when esc is pressed, not released.
* Oops, there was an off-by-one bug in _NET_VIRTUAL_ROOTS setting.
* Fixed bug (reported by Eugene Wong) where resizing the top of
a window would cause it to jump up several pixels. The height of
the titlebar was not being considered when calculating mouse
motion in reshaping_motionnotify().
* Modified manage() to avoid autoplacing windows during
initialisation.
* Applied patch from Elliott that gives focus to new windows in
click-to-focus mode.
* Changed the buttonpress code in disp.c to ignore scroll wheel
"clicks".
* Modified Client_Remove so that, in click-to-focus mode, it
refocuses on the most sensible window (either the top window,
or the window that the closing window was a transient for).
* Attempted to fix the edit placement bug by adding titleHeight()
to the supplied X coordinate during a ConfigureRequest event,
and not attempting to fix clients that don't supply a border
width during a configure request.
* Fixed fullscreen-mode bug where galeon windows appeared to jump
up and to the left after the first click.
really have big information value for those who don't know neither B nor C.
s/minimalistic/minimalist/ in DESCR, the former is not really an english word.
WMI is a new window manager for X11, which combines the best features of
LarsWM, Ion, TrsWM, evilwm and ratpoison into one window manager.
WMI is new: it is developed from scratch wit h C++ without any ancient code
and design dependencies to antiquated window managers.
WMI is minimalistic: it has no build- or runtime dependencies except the C++
Standard Template Library (STL) and the X11 Library (XLib).
WMI is highly customizable: it is designed with keyboard users in mind. Each
action (e.g. resizing the frame, creating a new workspace, launching an app,
note that WMI provides hundreds of actions) can be bind to a shortcut. So say
good-bye to the rodent :)

the desktop
* Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
* The fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints

firstdesk. For example, you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
grid to start in the middle.
Note that this won't build until a buildlink3 bug is fixed. This is not a
regression, as it was already in a non-building state. Please do not file
any PRs regarding this issue.
This is a maintenance release, aimed at bug-fixing; no new features
are being added to the 4.0 branch.
The main purpose of this release is compatibility with the recent GTK+ 2.4.x
release along with other fixes.
