Release 0.6.2 (2007-10-18 Danny Baumann <dannybaumann@web.de>)
==============================================================
Stable release.
Support for automatically starting one decorator per screen.
Various stacking problem fixes.
Fixes for various focus issues.
Minor other bug fixes.
Release 0.6.0 (2007-10-01 Danny Baumann <dannybaumann@web.de>)
==============================================================
Third stable release of Compiz.
Improved focus stealing prevention.
Improved dynamic desktop resizing support.
Added button action configuration options to gtk-window-decorator.
Added UTF-8 window title support to kde-window-decorator.
Various bug fixes and improvements.
... and more, check the NEWS file.
3.4.7:
* Fully updated Czech, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, German,
French, Hungarian, Norwegian, Vietnamese, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish,
Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese and Portuguese translations
* Partially updated Spanish translation
* Add an example of the "force" option for the per-app placement options to
the default rc.xml file
* Add a new xdg-autostart script. This will eventually end up in the PyXDG
distribution hopefully, but it is included in Openbox for now. This script
runs things based on the freedesktop.org autostart specification. You can
have it run GNOME, KDE, ROX, or XFCE specific things if you want. The
new default system-wide autostart.sh script runs it automatically
* Update the default menu.xml to include a lot of common apps
* Fix white font shadows (negative shadowtint)
* Update the autostart.sh to find gnome-settings-daemon correctly, as the
GNOME people have moved it to libexec
* Fix focus possibly getting stolen when using the Focus action
* Drastically speed up rendering of Vertical and SplitVertical gradients
* Speed improvements also for Horizonal and Pyramid gradients
* Add new theme options, menu.overlap.x and menu.overlap.y options, that let
you independently control the horizontal and vertical position of submenus
* Change _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages to not change the current desktop, but
to bring the window to the current desktop instead. This is the industry
standard policy
* Use the pretty new openbox.png icon as the default window icon
* Allow matching per-application rules to windows by their window type
(normal, dialog, splash, etc). The default rc.xml has more details
* Add new Openbox-themed prompt windows. Use these prompt windows to ask
before killing off windows that aren't responding. This also means we
don't need to ping every window constantly forever
* Add a new <prompt> option to the Execute action. If this is set to a
string, a dialog will be shown with that string in it and "yes"/"no"
buttons. The command to be executed will only be run if the user selects
"yes" in the dialog
* Add a new <prompt> option to the Exit action, which is a boolean (not a
string). When true, Openbox will show a dialog confirming if you want to
exit. The default is to show the prompt
* Reduce Openbox's memory footprint and speed up rendering through the use
of a new icon cache, so that Openbox only needs to keep 1 copy of an icon
when 100 different windows share it
* Make Openbox menus have the "menu type" hint for compositors to see and use
* Fix the MoveResizeTo action for negative coords (opposite edges)
* Fix key bindings getting lost if multiple bindings at the same level could
not be translated (Fixes VMWare causing Openbox keybindings to stop
working)
* Fix the resize popup box for terminal windows with a base size of 0 (show
the right size values for urxvt terminals)
* Fix some off-by-one bugs with the edge growing/shrinking code
* Add new theme options for menu line separators: menu.separator.color,
menu.separator.width, menu.separator.padding.width,
menu.separator.padding.height
* Add xfce-mcs-manager to the default autostart.sh, and run it automatically
when gnome-settings-daemon is not present to have GTK apps inherit settings
from the XFCE configuration tools
* Make the send-to-desktop menu in the client-menu indicate which is the current
desktop for omnipresent windows, and don't close it if just toggling
omni-presence when ctrl-clicking
* Add a new SessionLogout action that logs out through the session manager,
when running Openbox within a session manager such as within an
GNOME/Openbox or KDE/Openbox session. The action includes a <prompt>
option which is similar to the Exit action's
* Add a new gdm-control command that lets you control gdm from within an X
session. The gdm-control lets you change GDM's behaviour for when you end
the current session. For instance, you can tell GDM to reboot, and
then immediately log out of the current session, and the computer will be
rebooted
* Show an information dialog when an error occurs for Openbox, such as when
the Execute action fails or when XML syntax errors are present in the
configuration files
* When making a window very narrow, don't draw buttons to the right of the title
on top of the ones on its left.
3.4.6.1:
* Updated Clearlooks theme
* Add the force="yes/no" option for the per-app settings' <position> tag
* Raise and focus modal children and their direct parents together, improved
usability with direct modal transient windows
* Fix crash when using <raise> for NextWindow and there are no windows
to move focus to
* Add the <manageDesktops> option in the rc.xml <menu> section, which toggles
the "Manage Desktops" section appearing in the combined-client-list-menu
* Fix for menu headers showing the wrong text
* Fix for the <focusLast> behavior
* Treat modal direct children as one window with their parent consistently
3.4.6:
* Added Basque translation
* Updated French, Vietnamese German, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Portuguese,
Brasilian Portuguese, Norwegian, and Finnish translations
* New Clearlooks theme, updated by David Barr
* Updated the previous Clearlooks theme, and renamed it to Clearlooks-3.4
* Allow dialog type windows to go fullscreen (Fixes Kpdf)
* Remove the extraneous top border for undecorated windows while maximized
* Fixes for keyboard modifiers (Alt-tab dialog getting stuck on screen for
some users)
* Automatically catch changes to the keyboard map and reconfigure the key
bindings on the fly
* Fix focus moving incorrectly sometimes with focus under mouse enabled
* Make default configuration focus the desktop when you right click
* Add the <bar> and <raise> options for all window cycling actions, allowing
you to have your target window temporarily raised above all others, and to
turn the focus target indicator bar off
* Improve the LastDesktop action to not remember desktops you skipped across
* Ignore mouse clicks that are made on override-redirect (unmanaged) windows
* When opening a menu with a key binding, don't use the key binding to run
something in the menu
* Add a <monitor> option for window placement, which gives you the option
to place new windows on the active monitor, or the monitor where the mouse
is, instead of on any monitor (for xinerama multihead setups)
* Add options for placing the window move/resize coordinate popup window in
a fixed position on screen, rather than relative to the window being
moved or resized
* Prevent the dock from auto-hiding completely offscreen if the theme has
no borders for it
* New icon
* Fix race condition when running things that want to grab the keyboard
(e.g. gnome-panel-control --main-menu)
* When dialog windows ask to not appear in the taskbar, still give them focus
in normal ways (fixes new GNOME session logout dialogs)
* Fix bug with resizing corners on certain parts of the window frame
* Ping applications to tell when they are running or have become frozen.
Show a [Not Responding] message in the title bar of windows which are
frozen.
* When closing a window which is [Not Responding], kill the window's process
if it is running on the same machine as Openbox. Otherwise, just
disconnect
the window from the X display. A second attempt to close a [Not
Responding]
window will kill it forcefully (kill -9).
* Fixes for internal timers
* Add a <wmclass> option for the execute action's startup-notification. This
lets you tell Openbox that the application will map a window with the
specified class - for applications that do not support startup-notification
natively.
* Fix for empty dock taking up space onscreen after a reconfigure
* Reduce Openbox's additional memory footprint per-window and per-menu
* Faster horizontal gradient rendering
* Don't deiconify windows that aren't allowed to be directly iconified on
restart (eg toolbars), as they can be iconified by other means
* Improve support for fullscreen windows in xinerama (TwinView) and
multiple-screen setups
* Add a --config-file command line option, to specify an alternate
configuration file path
* Changes since 1.4.2
** key event handling
top level key bindings are grabbed "asynchronously" instead of
"synchronously." This should eliminate the freezes some people have
experienced in previous versions.
strategy is to leave alone the install targets sprinkled all over
the Makefiles and instead to two thigns:
(1) Define new INST_* variants of BINDIR, ETCDIR, MODULEDIR, etc.
that are the "final" installation locations, and thus may be
hardcoded into the program.
(2) Modify the definitions of BINDIR, ETCDIR, MODULEDIR, etc. to
point to $(DESTDIR)$(INST_*). These variables can be used in
the _install targets without any changes.
* New features:
- Handle the STATE_ADD command of the EWMH _NET_WM_STATE
message from version 1.3 of the EWMH spec.

- Fixed a memory leak in multibyte codepage code.
- Ignore the EWMH staysontop and staysonbottom hints if the
EWMHIgnoreStackingOrderHints style is used.
- Fixed a sporadic crash when the root background set by gnome,
fvwm-root, esetroot etc. changes and a root transparent
colour set is used.
- Fixed spradic crash in modules with root transparent
background from colour sets.
- Fixed a possible crash if the last active module fails.

- QT applications no longer lose focus when menu is active
- Corrected window placement in xinerama/dualhead when using
centered/centered-on-parent

WMII_TERM have changed. If you're using them in custom scripts you'll need to
change them to "eval $WMII_MENU" instead of just "$WMII_MENU"

Changes for version 1.04:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/94378
Succinctly, the #define for EXTRA in parse.c needs to be (at least) 12,
Changes for version 1.03:
Botched some prototypes. 1.02 wouldn't compile.
Changes:
* src/main.c (xvsprintf): limit memory allocation
to 200K when vsnprintf return -1. (i.e. on pre-1999
systems not distinguising fatal errors and too small
buffer).
* src/manage.c (get_res_name, get_res_class): remove
(update_window_name): call get_class_hints directly to avoid it
being called two times.
* src/manage.c (get_wmname): always try XmbTextPropertyToTextList
first to also support UTF-8 window titles when encoded as XA_STRING
* src/main.c (clean_up): call free_user_commands, free_groups only
after free_window_stuff
* src/window.c (free_window_stuff): remove windows from group lists
* src/action.h (free_user_commands): new prototype
* src/action.c (set_var_free,user_command_free,free_user_commands):
new functions
* src/manage.c (get_wmname): free buffer to close memory hole
* src/actions.c (cmd_windows): free buffer to close memory hole
* src/main.c (init_defaults): only load the backup font when the
default font fails.
* src/main.c (init_defaults): if the default font fails, use the
backup font.
* src/conf.h (BACKUP_FONT): new define
* src/input.c (update_modifier_map): don't map both super and
hyper to the same modifier slot.
* src/split.c (set_active_frame): call switch_frame hook
(show_frame_indicator): only show frame indicator
(set_active_frame): new arg force_indicator. all callers updated.

(bar_y): likewise
* src/actions.c (init_set_vars): add barinpadding
(set_barinpadding): new function
* src/globals.h: new global rp_switch_screen_hook
* src/frame.c (frame_read): fix bug to never set dedicated
* New features:
- Disabled paging during interactive resize operations by
default (see 2.5.20) as it is annoying to many people.
- New style command options:
EdgeMoveResistance
EdgeMoveDelay
EdgeResizeDelay
SnapGrid
SnapAttraction
that replace the now obsolete commands EdgeResistance,
SnapGrid and SnapAttraction. The EdgeResistance command has
a new syntax with only one argument.
- New command MenuCloseAndExec for menu bindinngs that can be
used to trigger certain commands from a menu without an
associated item. For example, with
Key F1 MTI[]-_ A MenuCloseAndExec Menu RootMenu

F1.
* Bug Fixes:
- Sometimes a window jumped by half the screen's size when
moving with the mouse and hitting the border of the desktop.

- Clicking on a menu title did not close the menu by default.
- Temporary files in FvwmPerl overwrote each other.
via tech-pkg. PKGREVISION++
Fixed MESSAGE, since there is no "install-user" target. It had been
there in the original version of the package. I didn't find it likely
that end-users would use pkgsrc for installing a single configuration
file, so I removed that.
4.6
This release contains sanitized aspect ratio handling, a simplified
tagging concept, an improved tiling algorithm, and several code
cleanups.
4.4
This release provides a totally new layout plugin structure and a
lot of code polishing.
4.3
This release contains certain major bugfixes, especially regarding
banning/unbanning client windows.
4.1
The status bar can now be toggled on the fly. Several bugs were
fixed and a lot of code polishing was undertaken.
awesome is a tiling window manager initialy based on a dwm code rewriting.
It's extremely fast, small, dynamic and awesome.
Packaged by adam.hoka@gmail.com.
The holder of the Ion3(tm) trademark and copyright demands that
this package must be kept up-to-date at all times. We cannot comply
with such demands, especially considering that pkgsrc has
"stable branches".
(If anyone cares about this package, I suggest we maintain it in
pkgsrc-wip instead.)
News in 1.0.0:
* New default style: bloe
* New styles:
ostrich zimek_darkblue, zimek_green, zimek_bisque,
carp, arch, bora_black, bora_blue, bora_green, green_tea, bloe
* Fixed shape handling, now shaped corners have border.
* Allow negative numbers in command "Workspace"
* Added utility fluxbox-remote
* Allows script access to most fluxbox commands;
Support must be turned on in the init file with
session.screen.allowRemoteActions; the syntax is, e.g.,
fluxbox-remote "CustomMenu ~/.fluxbox/custommenu"
* Added keycommands :AddWorkspace and :RemoveLastWorkspace
* Added some missing Open Office entries and window managers,
plus some other minor changes in fluxbox-generate_menu
* Updated languages:
sv_SE, zh_CN, de_*, es_ES, es_AR, en_US, en_GB, pt_*
fi_FI, fr_FR, ru_RU
And a lot of bugfixes, please review the Changelog file for more info.
* configure.in: version 1.3.1 - This version is to let people know
that Sawfish is being revived by the community, and we are awaiting
patches to be submitted for incoming 1.3.2 release
* fixed possible buffer overflow in src/fonts.c (Yoshiaki Kasahara)
1.3.1 also has many updated translations and doc fixes.
<philip@freebsd.org>.
Release notes:
This release features a few minor fixes. If no major problems are
discovered, this is likely to be the last "rc" release before the
first and hopefully final "stable" release.
ChangeLog:
o Binding guards weren't being used

SelectionNotify too. This seems to fix Xterm's paste
slowness.

* Fix for MoveToEdge skipping edges sometimes
* Let you specify the vertical and horizontal padding independently in themes
* Fix so that if you select an omnipresent window on another desktop in the
client list menus, it will go to that desktop

Smart placement when there was a dock or something on the side of the
screen

While here, I've added my FreeBSD "local distfiles" to the MASTER_SITES to keep
the package fetchable when the distfile disappears upstream when a new version
is released and before I get a chance to update the package.
3.4.3:
* Add Ukrainian translation
* Updated translations:
- Japanese, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Estonian, German, Portuguese,
Vietnamese, Finnish, Czech, Arabic, Spanish, Swedish, French
* Improve focus fallback - don't fallback to windows you can't focus cycle
(Alt-Tab) to
* Don't show the client border for undecorated windows when keepBorder is on,
just the outer border
* Some improvements in the smart placement to help it find a place more
often. This needs more work still.
* Don't focus windows that appear under the mouse in mouse-focus mode unless
underMouse is enabled
* Don't move focus when the window under the pointer iconifies unless
underMouse is enabled
* Respect min/max window sizes when a window is fullscreened or maximized.
This fixes problems experienced with maximizing vnc windows
* Don't XUngrabKeyboard unless we need to
* Correct calculations for the menu header width, so that they are not
ellisized unnecessarily
* Advanced support for partial struts. When you maximize a window it will
now only use the struts it needs to. This can greatly improve
xinerama functionality.
* Fixes for how the dock is placed in certain positions on screen (off by 1
errors)
* New default bindings:
- don't unshade when clicking on the titlebar
- raise when unshading with the scrollwheel
- lower when shading with the scrollwheel
* Don't show the top resize area in the titlebar when a window is shaded
* Optimize rendering of window decorations
* Optimize splitvertical gradients - no more malloc/free during render
* Let the theme specify all colors for a splitvertical gradient with the new
.splitTo theme elements
* Improve decorations for maximized windows. Don't draw the side borders in
the titlebar.
* Don't resist against desklet windows (below layer + skip taskbar)
* New actions for dynamically adjusting your desktop workspaces:
- AddDesktopLast, RemoveDesktopLast
- AddDesktopCurrent, RemoveDestopCurrent
* New <center> option for smart placement (default is on)
* Fix MoveToCenter in Xinerama (TwinView) setups
* Let you lower a window without lowering its children or siblings
* Don't set the default Openbox icon on child windows, let them inherit the
icon from their parents
* Fix Onyx themes - fade out disabled buttons
* Don't auto-resize windows to fit on screen if they are UserSpecified
Size or Position
* Don't activate windows which raise themselves anymore. It was a nice
thought, but it caused too much problems
* Rewrite of the actions subsystem
* Removed deprecated actions:
- ShowDesktop, UnshowDesktop (Use ToggleShowDesktop)
- ResizeRelativeVert, ResizeRelativeHorz (Use ResizeRelative)
* Combined the MoveFromEdge* actions with MoveToEdge* actions, and removed
the MoveFromEdge* action names.
* Switch desktops when moving a window and you drag it to the edge of the
screen (added the <screenEdgeWarpTime> option for this)
* Add actions to add/remove the last desktop in the client list menus
* Use startup notification when launching ObConf in the default root menu
* Remove the desktop switching dialog, as it confuses people and they don't
know how to turn it off to switch desktops instantly. Some other
incarnation may return in the future.
* Add optional <finalactions> option for NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
DirectionalFocus*, and DirectionalTarget* actions
* Don't focus new helper windows unless they are alone in their group. This
fixes gucharmap
* Fancy keyboard window moving:
- Shift-arrow will move the window to the next edge
- Control-arrow will move the window by only 1 pixel
- Arrow will move the window by a larger number of pixels
* Fancy keyboard window resizing:
- The first arrow will choose an edge to resize (then you can grow or
shrink the window on that edge)
- Hitting an arrow perpendicular to your selected edge will choose a
different edge to resize
- Shift-arrow will grow/shrink the window to the next edge
- Control arrow will grow/shrink the window by only 1 pixel
- Arrow will grow/shrink the window by a larger number of pixel
* Timeout when synchronously resizing a window so you can still resize busy
or dead application windows
* Let you specify keyboard shortcuts in your root menus with _. Such as
label="XTe_rm" would make 'r' the shortcut key.
* Fixes for placing windows with per-app settings:
- you can now place windows relative to any edge of the screen instead of
only the top left. (-0 uses the far edge, +0 uses the near edge. You can
use --0 and +-0 to specify negative numbers.)
- fix bug with windows being placed far off-screen occasionally
- allow you to place windows partially outside of the screen
- let per-app settings override program-specified positions (but not if it
is user-specified)
* Add user-specified margins to the configuration file
* Fix for transient windows in groups with transient windows of the group
transients. That wasn't supposed to be legible. i.e. 2 group transients
and 1 direct transient for one of the group transients.
* Don't include child/parent windows in tests for being occluded or occluding
other windows, since you can't raise/lower above/below them. This fixes
the raiselower action for windows which have children.
* Reduce the size of the middle gradient in splitvertical gradients. This
makes the split harder than it was in 3.4.2
* Don't include debian/ dir in releases
* Add resize bindings for the edges to the default hardcoded bindings
* Fix focus cycle indicator positioning for some windows (i.e. OpenOffice)
* Add the MoveResizeTo action. This is very xinerama aware! It also lets
you move a window to any edge of any screen.
* Make actions that look for edges include the dock's edges (e.g. MoveToEdge)
* New preferred option for the Execute action is <command> instead of
<execute> but the old one will still work.
* Fix for moving windows partially offsceen causing them to jump far away
* Fix for windows which are not on any monitor, to keep them on screen
partically too
* Require libstartupnotification 0.8 in configure (we use stuff that was not
around in some earlier versions)
* Grab the server when mapping windows to avoid race conditions in other
programs (getting MapNotify before you are visible)
* Handle case gracefully when ConfigureRequent for restacking specifies
a siblig which we aren't managing
* Use KeyRelease to run things from Openbox menus, so that the release
does not go to the focused window (causing the new window to not get
focus)
* Add new actions for controlling window decorations:
- Decorate, Undecorate
* Fix so that the values for per-app settings are not case sensitive
* Fix crash with very small windows
* Fix resize resistance for windows with aspect ratio limits
* Let you resize windows with aspect ratio limits in the vertical directions
It does not use threads, but some dynamically loaded plugins link
against libraries which are linked against libpthread (for no good
technical reason either, but I don't like to maintain patches for all).
- Fix pagers when enabling after initially being disabled
- Remove unused backup-....cfg stuf
- Fix fallback textclass
- Don't crash if trying to start when no theme is found. Add missing
newline.
- Fix parsing title, name, and class matches in windowmatches.cfg
- Remove trailing dash in release version string
- Enable setting imlib2 image cache size
- Eliminate some remainders from Window re-wrapping done a while back
OBPager is a lightweight pager applet or dockapp. It requires a netwm
compatible window manager such as OpenBox. OBPager shows windows in active
virtual desktops and allows the user to switch desktops by clicking on the
pager dockapp.
Twm is the classic Tom's Window Manager for the X Window System. It
provides titlebars, shaped windows, several forms of icon management,
user-defined macro functions, click-to-type and pointer-driven keyboard
focus, and user-specified key and pointer button bindings.

space inside the struts, and hiding behind them).
* Don't let child (transient) windows steal focus when the situation is
ambiguous
* Fix bevels and borders display in the titlebar

is the proper fix for libwnck pagers.)
* Fallback focus immediately during iconify animation in all cases (was
missing RevertToParent case)
* Fix new frame elements being given 0 sizes for very small windows

Alt-Shift-Tab to get back what you just iconified. This makes things more
predictable.
* Show the hostname for remotely run programs in iconified titles
* Stop focus flicker when sending windows to a desktop and following them,
and when changing desktops with an omnipresent window focused

C-A-Left/Right/Up/Down keyboard bindings
3.3.992:
* Don't move mouse focus when the mouse is over the focus cycling dialog
* Fixes for positioning of frame decoration elements
* Update for Brazilian Portuguese translation
* Improvements in how decorations respond for maximized windows. (If they
can't be resized don't "hide" the resizing contexts)
* Updated Italian translation
* Added Czech translation
* Fix for applications that do weird things with modal windows (Make sure
you can focus cycle to them)
* Updated Spanish translation
* Fix for programs using the old WM-spec, and not setting unused fields to
0 in _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages (Rox pinboard)
* Fixes for default rc.xml configuration file. Updated comments and comment
out the applications section in an xml compatible way.
* Update for Portuguese translation
* Fix support for window gravity (eg xterm -geometry -0+0)
* Fix for libwnck with iconify animation (Unmap the parent of the client's
window)
* Force the top left corner of new windows onto the screen area, if the
position wasn't requested by the user (Fix xpdf and others hiding their
titlebar under a panel)
* Fix for determining text geometry from Pango
* Save the desktop layout and names in the session, and restore them on next
log in.
* The <desktop> section from the configuration file is only used for
defaults, and so is only applied at the start of a new log-in. (Use ObConf
1.6.2 to change the config file for these options, and have them set
immediately, if you don't use a session manager to save them.)
* Fix updating and crashing in the old split client list menu
* Translate the default desktop names
* Update Taiwanese Chinese translation
* Less restrictions of behavior based on window type (Let you maximize
dialogs and utility windows)
* Fix for focus tracking when Press mouse actions are used

that the user has maximized

* Added Brazilian Portuguese translation
* Added a rough Italian translation
* Added Estonian translation
* Update Polish translation
* Make focus stealing prevention a little less intrusive, especially with
default config

* Don't reload the session and reapply it when restarting
* Fix for losing the original size of a window that mapped with maximized
state (or on restart)
* Let you move splash type windows
* Fix for window placement using wrong dimensions
* Stop xemacs ConfigureNotify storm
* Fix bug stopping panels from moving themselves off-screen to hide
themselves
* Fix for GNOME/Openbox and openbox-gnome-session to use a new session name,
because GNOME won't let you replace the window manager in the saved session
* Don't restore session state when multiple windows have the same
identifiers, because we can't tell them apart then (Firefox/Thunderbird)
* Small fixes to build system to make it more reliable
* Fix for what manpage files are distributed in the source code, so they
will not be pre-built with the wrong info
* Fix pkg-config files for compiling things against Openbox libraries
3.3.990:
* Wildcard matching for per-application (per-window) settings. Let you match
multiple rules for a window. (Props to Mark Pustjens for code to do this.)
* Added startup notification support to the menus and key/mouse bindings
with <startupnotify>. It's an option for execute actions.
* New combined client menu, accessed with
<action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu></action>
* No menu titles - instead added separators with labels to be used as menu
headers anywhere in menus
* Improved client menu - placement, the options in it, and added an icon for
"All Desktops"
* Keyboard shortcuts in menus, by highlighted letter or by the first letter
* Menus dont jump around, are always placed on screen
* Menus larger than can fit on the screen are broken into a submenu at the
bottom titled "More..."
* Disabled menu items can be selected now (not used though, of course)
* Using ()'s instead of a line separator to signify iconified windows in the
client list menus
* New Root context for mouse bindings
* New "alt-tab" focus switching dialog
* openbox-session command and log-in option which provides the autostart
capability.
* SCIM support in the default Openbox session launched by the
openbox-session command
* Many code paths made significantly faster
* Sections of code rewritten to be more reliable, such as session
save/restore and input focus handling
* Handle the X server's clock going backwards, without locking up. Sometimes
the server can still lock up though, it is not recommended to do this!
* Better handling of window types such as docks, utility windows, tool bar
windows. Clicking to focus these windows is done more intelligently. Dock
windows no longer get focus when you click them, so that you don't have
focus flickering when you use a dock window with a taskbar.
* Better language support through Pango, which is now mandatory, and the
code for Pango has been greatly improved and optimized.
* Support for windows that use true 32-bit transparency
* Resize grips (with mouse binding contexts) for the top, left, and right of
the window frame
* Smarter about keeping windows on the screen without invading user's
capabilities
* Add MoveFromEdge* actions corresponding to MoveToEdge* but aligns far
edges instead of near edges, so if you have two overlapping windows you
can easily put them side by side.
* Better choice of mouse cursors for startup notification
* Focus stealing prevention
* Improve window placement across multiple Xinerama monitors
* Support 8-bit truecolor visuals (such as in vncserver)
* Better, more friendly support for omnipresent windows
* Full support for EWMH 1.4-draft2
* Iconify/restore animation !
* Improved support for running openbox with multiple screens (non-xinerama)
- won't steal focus from other screens, and let you focus a screen by
clicking on the desktop (root window).
* Support for more cursors through XCursor, means that startup notification
can use a pointer+watch cursor if you are using an XCursor theme
* Fully maximize terminal windows (and any resized-by-increment window)
* Show the hostname of clients running on remote computers in the titlebar
* Add <panels> and <desktop> options to NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
DirectionalFocusNorth etc..
* Synchronize resizing with the application when possible
* Smarter subdivision of windows into 9 sections for resizing
* Set default icon on windows so applications can agree on an icon
* Better support for programs that are on more than one desktop
(multiple firefox windows for example) - move to the desktop when you're
using the application and it opens a window on another desktop.
* Chrooted key chains, and key quoting through chroots
* New BreakChroot action to break out of the current chroot
* New keychains popup, to show where you are in a keychain
* Improved show-desktop mode. When you open a new window, the old windows
are not all restored
* Add <allDesktops> option to NextWindow and PreviousWindow. The desktop
name will be shown in the focus cycling popup
* Dynamically size the window and desktop dialogs. Desktop layouts that
aren't horizontal look better in the desktop cycling dialog.
* Support for legacy fullscreen applications (that don't use EWMH) such as
VLC
* Session support for old clients that do not use the session management
protocol
* Desktop setup is only changed on startup, so as to not overwrite settings
from other apps like pagers
* Take advantage of ksmserver (KDE Session Manager) features

openbox-gnome-session and openbox-kde-session to run a GNOME or KDE
session with Openbox as the window manager.
* Titlebar buttons autohide when hiding won't move other buttons (removed
the hideDisabled option from config file)
* Support user time window hint, which is good for laptops power usage
* When legacy windows raise themselves, interpreate as wanting to be
activated. Makes Firefox more pleasant.
* Don't show handles on windows that cant resize for more extreme visual
minimalism
* Let you move maximized windows between Xinerama monitors
* Improve application awareness of focus, e.g. Kopete and Firefox, so they
know when they are or aren't focused, and which window in their
application is focused
* Improvements in the distributed themes
* Add new Clearlooks and Clearlooks-Olive themes by John McKnight
* Fonts are no longer loaded from theme. They are loaded from the rc.xml
config file. Font shadow settings are still loaded from the theme though.
5 fonts to be set: ActiveWindow InactiveWindow, MenuHeader, MenuItem and
OnScreenDisplay
* Distributed theme names have been renamed with Capitalization
* menu.items.activedisabled.text.color
* menu.border.color (note that globbing might set these properties when
you didnt mean to)
* window.active.border.color (note that globbing might set these
properties when you didnt mean to)
* window.inactive.border.color (note that globbing might set these
properties when you didnt mean to)
* menu.border.width
* Guarantee that titlebar buttons are even sized, so even sized icons
(button masks) will be centered
* Default titlebar button icons (as xbms) installed to /usr/share/doc/openbox
* New mouse binding contexts Left, Right, TLCorner, TRCorner and Top. These
need bindings in config file to be useful. Also new context Bottom which
is synonym for Handle.
* W is no longer hard coded to Mod4. It is now a shortcut for Super, which
is usually bound to Mod4. xmodmap will show your mapping.
* The per-app setting <head> has been renamed to <monitor>
* Can use "default" for anything in per-app settings
* Removed <edges_hit_layers_below> option from config file
