Take maintainership
* Changes since 1.4.0-beta2
** meta takes a key argument
This can be used to stuff keys.
* Changes since 1.4.0-beta1
** RATPOISON environment variable
RATPOISON is set to the location of the ratpoison binary. This is
useful for scripts.
* Changes since 1.3.0
** command arguments can be wrapped in double quotes.
To include a space in a command argument, wrap the argument with ".
** New command undefinekey
not passing a 3rd argument to definekey and bind no longer unbind the
key. You must use undefinekey and unbind now.
** ratpoison -c prints errors to stderr
You can now capture errors and output seperately depending on whether
its printed to stderr or stdout.
** the mouse warp feature is now turned off by default
to turn it back on, run 'warp on'.
** version now displays the date and time
** new command, sselect
sselect lets you jump to an X11 screen by number.
** configure script warns about missing history lib
Rather than error out, now, ratpoison will just be built without history.
** new commands ratwarp, ratrelwarp, and ratclick
** more new commands
inext, iprev, iother, cnext, cprev, cother, prompt, dedicate,
describekey, focusprev, sdump, sfdump.
** yet two more new commands: putsel, getsel
putsel puts the specified text into the X11 selection so other clients
can yank it. getsel returns the current selection.
Most noticeable changes (there's more than one year worth of them,
anyway):
* Potentially blocking status meters are now in a separate ion-statusd
program. Please write your additional status meters that do not monitor
the state of Ion itself for ion-statusd (and contribute them in the
Ion3 scripts repository at http://iki.fi/tuomov/repos/ion-scripts-3/).
For help on writing such status meters, see e.g. source for statusd_load
in ext_statusbar/ion-statusd.
* Line editor now supports history search; Control+Up/Down only scrolls
through history entries with matching initial part.
* Arbitrary winprop matching criteria is supported. Lua scripts have
access to X properties.
* So-called "placeholders". With the help of these the positions of
full-screen windows are remembered in their original frames, and don't
just get inserted after currently active window when returning from
full-screen mode. Under a session manager placeholders are also used
to remember the original order of windows.
* Experimental auto-show-completions support, which is also on by default
now. In this mode the Tab key can be used to cycle forward through the
completions, and Shift+Tab backwards. Modify the settings seen in the
new mod_query.lua to get normal Tab-completion, or change the completion
delay.

anymore.
Ok by jlam, wiz.

Info window movement made a bit more sensible.
Don't remove clients from within error handler, instead flag for
removal.
While removing client, only reparent to root if window is withdrawn
or window manager is shutting down (fixes xpdf-in-firefox bug).
Window close key with shift held will XKillClient().
LD: Replace logic to decide if we have a shaped window (cribbed from
fvwm-2.5.10).
LD: Warp mouse pointer to a visible point in shaped windows.
