[chaz/openbox] / CHANGELOG
1 3.4.4:
2 * Updated Traditional Chinese translation
3 * Updated Norwegian translation
4 * Fix for MoveToEdge skipping edges sometimes
5 * Let you specify the vertical and horizontal padding independently in themes
6 * Fix so that if you select an omnipresent window on another desktop in the
7 client list menus, it will go to that desktop
8 * Make the GrowToEdge action shrink once there is no more room to grow,
9 similar to in 3.4.2, but shrinking to edges as well
10 * Move the Send To and Layers submenus to the top of the client menu
11 * Fix race causing omnipresent windows to lose focus when switching desktops
12 very quickly
13 * Don't focus new windows on other desktops if they aren't related to the
14 currently focused window
15 * Add corner resizing areas in the inner client border (Fixes themes such
16 as Onyx)
17 * New focus stealing prevention that is smart and not intrusive and not
18 annoying
19 * Revert a small change in 3.4.3 that caused windows to be placed funny in
20 Smart placement when there was a dock or something on the side of the
21 screen
22 * Show a notification when switching desktops
23 * Fix for delayed focus-follows-mouse interrupting move/resize or menus
24 * Make screen edge warp keep warping without having the move the mouse 1
25 pixel
26 * Fix for resizing terminals in the top/left sides getting a little confused
27 * Fix to keep oldschool (Non-EWMH) fullscreen windows from being moved and
28 resized inside of the struts (Fixes Acroread)
29 * Accept the <command> option for the Restart command, similar to the Execute
30 action
31 * Don't make clicking on dock apps sometimes act like clicking on the root
32 window (Don't propogate button events up)
33 * Fix a bug introduced in 3.4.3 which caused the Windows key as a modifier
34 for bindings to not work properly
35 * Let windows skip across monitors in a Xinerama setup when using MoveToEdge
36 or Shift-arrow in an interactive move
37 * Make move and resize take the dock into account for resistance
38 * Raise new windows when it makes sense, when they aren't being focused
39 * Change default config to use click events for mouse wheel bindings instead
40 of presses
41
42 3.4.3:
43 * Add Ukrainian translation
44 * Updated translations:
45 - Japanese, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Estonian, German, Portuguese,
46 Vietnamese, Finnish, Czech, Arabic, Spanish, Swedish, French
47 * Improve focus fallback - don't fallback to windows you can't focus cycle
48 (Alt-Tab) to
49 * Don't show the client border for undecorated windows when keepBorder is on,
50 just the outer border
51 * Some improvements in the smart placement to help it find a place more
52 often. This needs more work still.
53 * Don't focus windows that appear under the mouse in mouse-focus mode unless
54 underMouse is enabled
55 * Don't move focus when the window under the pointer iconifies unless
56 underMouse is enabled
57 * Respect min/max window sizes when a window is fullscreened or maximized.
58 This fixes problems experienced with maximizing vnc windows
59 * Don't XUngrabKeyboard unless we need to
60 * Correct calculations for the menu header width, so that they are not
61 ellisized unnecessarily
62 * Advanced support for partial struts. When you maximize a window it will
63 now only use the struts it needs to. This can greatly improve
64 xinerama functionality.
65 * Fixes for how the dock is placed in certain positions on screen (off by 1
66 errors)
67 * New default bindings:
68 - don't unshade when clicking on the titlebar
69 - raise when unshading with the scrollwheel
70 - lower when shading with the scrollwheel
71 * Don't show the top resize area in the titlebar when a window is shaded
72 * Optimize rendering of window decorations
73 * Optimize splitvertical gradients - no more malloc/free during render
74 * Let the theme specify all colors for a splitvertical gradient with the new
75 .splitTo theme elements
76 * Improve decorations for maximized windows. Don't draw the side borders in
77 the titlebar.
78 * Don't resist against desklet windows (below layer + skip taskbar)
79 * New actions for dynamically adjusting your desktop workspaces:
80 - AddDesktopLast, RemoveDesktopLast
81 - AddDesktopCurrent, RemoveDestopCurrent
82 * New <center> option for smart placement (default is on)
83 * Fix MoveToCenter in Xinerama (TwinView) setups
84 * Let you lower a window without lowering its children or siblings
85 * Don't set the default Openbox icon on child windows, let them inherit the
86 icon from their parents
87 * Fix Onyx themes - fade out disabled buttons
88 * Don't auto-resize windows to fit on screen if they are UserSpecified
89 Size or Position
90 * Don't activate windows which raise themselves anymore. It was a nice
91 thought, but it caused too much problems
92 * Rewrite of the actions subsystem
93 * Removed deprecated actions:
94 - ShowDesktop, UnshowDesktop (Use ToggleShowDesktop)
95 - ResizeRelativeVert, ResizeRelativeHorz (Use ResizeRelative)
96 * Combined the MoveFromEdge* actions with MoveToEdge* actions, and removed
97 the MoveFromEdge* action names.
98 * Switch desktops when moving a window and you drag it to the edge of the
99 screen (added the <screenEdgeWarpTime> option for this)
100 * Add actions to add/remove the last desktop in the client list menus
101 * Use startup notification when launching ObConf in the default root menu
102 * Remove the desktop switching dialog, as it confuses people and they don't
103 know how to turn it off to switch desktops instantly. Some other
104 incarnation may return in the future.
105 * Add optional <finalactions> option for NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
106 DirectionalFocus*, and DirectionalTarget* actions
107 * Don't focus new helper windows unless they are alone in their group. This
108 fixes gucharmap
109 * Fancy keyboard window moving:
110 - Shift-arrow will move the window to the next edge
111 - Control-arrow will move the window by only 1 pixel
112 - Arrow will move the window by a larger number of pixels
113 * Fancy keyboard window resizing:
114 - The first arrow will choose an edge to resize (then you can grow or
115 shrink the window on that edge)
116 - Hitting an arrow perpendicular to your selected edge will choose a
117 different edge to resize
118 - Shift-arrow will grow/shrink the window to the next edge
119 - Control arrow will grow/shrink the window by only 1 pixel
120 - Arrow will grow/shrink the window by a larger number of pixel
121 * Timeout when synchronously resizing a window so you can still resize busy
122 or dead application windows
123 * Let you specify keyboard shortcuts in your root menus with _. Such as
124 label="XTe_rm" would make 'r' the shortcut key.
125 * Fixes for placing windows with per-app settings:
126 - you can now place windows relative to any edge of the screen instead of
127 only the top left. (-0 uses the far edge, +0 uses the near edge. You can
128 use --0 and +-0 to specify negative numbers.)
129 - fix bug with windows being placed far off-screen occasionally
130 - allow you to place windows partially outside of the screen
131 - let per-app settings override program-specified positions (but not if it
132 is user-specified)
133 * Add user-specified margins to the configuration file
134 * Fix for transient windows in groups with transient windows of the group
135 transients. That wasn't supposed to be legible. i.e. 2 group transients
136 and 1 direct transient for one of the group transients.
137 * Don't include child/parent windows in tests for being occluded or occluding
138 other windows, since you can't raise/lower above/below them. This fixes
139 the raiselower action for windows which have children.
140 * Reduce the size of the middle gradient in splitvertical gradients. This
141 makes the split harder than it was in 3.4.2
142 * Don't include debian/ dir in releases
143 * Add resize bindings for the edges to the default hardcoded bindings
144 * Fix focus cycle indicator positioning for some windows (i.e. OpenOffice)
145 * Add the MoveResizeTo action. This is very xinerama aware! It also lets
146 you move a window to any edge of any screen.
147 * Make actions that look for edges include the dock's edges (e.g. MoveToEdge)
148 * New preferred option for the Execute action is <command> instead of
149 <execute> but the old one will still work.
150 * Fix for moving windows partially offsceen causing them to jump far away
151 * Fix for windows which are not on any monitor, to keep them on screen
152 partically too
153 * Require libstartupnotification 0.8 in configure (we use stuff that was not
154 around in some earlier versions)
155 * Grab the server when mapping windows to avoid race conditions in other
156 programs (getting MapNotify before you are visible)
157 * Handle case gracefully when ConfigureRequent for restacking specifies
158 a siblig which we aren't managing
159 * Use KeyRelease to run things from Openbox menus, so that the release
160 does not go to the focused window (causing the new window to not get
161 focus)
162 * Add new actions for controlling window decorations:
163 - Decorate, Undecorate
164 * Fix so that the values for per-app settings are not case sensitive
165 * Fix crash with very small windows
166 * Fix resize resistance for windows with aspect ratio limits
167 * Let you resize windows with aspect ratio limits in the vertical directions
168
169 3.4.2:
170 * Add ability to set the bevel strength in themes
171 * Fix for focusLast with omnipresent windows
172 * Cache pipe menus while the menus are open
173 * Allow non-interactive directional focus key bindings
174 * Change how nested interactive key bindings work (it stays in the key chain,
175 like chroot, until you end the interactive action)
176 * Fix for gtk apps trying to get focus - mostly nullify focus stealing
177 prevention (Fixes Tilda)
178 * Send ConfigureNotify always on ConfigureRequest (Previous emacs fix
179 makes this possible now)
180 * Fix RelativeResize action for right/bottom edges
181 * Remove SCIM from the default autostart.sh - it has caused problems with
182 some (buggy) panels, such as pypanel
183 * Fix the titlebar changing to non-focused when iconifying a window with
184 animation
185 * Use the new osd theme hints for the dock, rather than the titlebar hints
186 * Fix rare crash when menu is hidden while browsing it
187 * End move/resize more cleanly when focus moves during a move/resize
188 * Don't focus new windows when browsing a menu or moving/resizing a window,
189 just flash the window instead, so that the menu/move/resize doesn't have to
190 cancel.
191
192 3.4.1:
193 * Add Vietnamese translation
194 * Add Japanese translation
195 * Keep new transient windows from not getting focus when any related window
196 has focus already
197 * Change behavior of underMouse option - make focus go under the mouse when
198 no window has focus anymore, rather than to the last used window
199 * Make on-screen display dialogs (such as the Alt-Tab dialog) appear on the
200 active monitor when using Xinerama (a.k.a. TwinView)
201 * Fix for window stacking - let you lower sibling transient windows behind
202 eachother
203 * Fix directional focus actions when used without a dialog
204 * Fix race that could prevent ObConf from setting the desktop names correctly
205 * Add new theme options:
206 - window.active.button.toggled.image.color has been split into:
207 - window.active.button.toggled.unpressed.image.color
208 - window.active.button.toggled.pressed.image.color
209 - window.active.button.toggled.hover.image.color
210 - window.inactive.button.toggled.image.color has been split into:
211 - window.inactive.button.toggled.unpressed.image.color
212 - window.inactive.button.toggled.pressed.image.color
213 - window.inactive.button.toggled.hover.image.color
214 - window.active.button.toggled.bg has been split into:
215 - window.active.button.toggled.unpressed.bg
216 - window.active.button.toggled.pressed.bg
217 - window.active.button.toggled.hover.bg
218 - window.inactive.button.toggled.bg has been split into:
219 - window.inactive.button.toggled.unpressed.bg

221 - window.inactive.button.toggled.hover.bg
222 * Add new Onyx and Onyx-Citrus themes
223 * Updated Mikachu theme using new theme options
224 * Improvements to splitvertical gradients - Add a small gradient in the
225 middle between the upper and lower gradients
226 * Fix another emacs event storm, don't configure the window when it sets its
227 WM_NORMAL_HINTS unless we have to
228 * Fix for focus cycling to helper windows - Don't count dialogs as a sibling,
229 so they don't stop you
230 * Allow the use of negative numbers in per-app settings position to place a
231 window relative to the right/bottom edges of your monitor (taking the
232 struts (panels) into account)
233 * Fix focus moving irrationally when focusLast was off
234

250 menu.items.active.disabled for consistency with other elements
251 * Improvements to smart placement - especially with xinerama (Twinview)

254 * Fix for putting child windows (transients) on all desktops
255 * Changes to how Shift/Control/CapsLock are used
256 * Fix focus fallback when windows are not visible (showing the desktop, or

258 * Fix bug #3196 - Unable to alt-tab away from full-screen windows
259 * Fix crash in parsing empty xml fields

292 * Don't raise on clients in the client context in the mouse focus example
293 rc.xml

295 from stealing focus, and allow new windows to get focus when any relative
296 window is focused
297 * Fixes for frame decorations layout
298 * Fixes for forcing window sizes to fit on the screen. Don't resize windows
299 if they are a user-specified size (USSize) or if they are non-normal
300 windows. (Fix Rox pinboard mapping across multiple monitors)
301 * Centre window icons when they are not square

351 * Update for Russian translation
352 * Added Dutch translation
353 * Fix for choosing badly sized icons from the window for the window cycling
354 dialog (and other things). (Fixes Pidgin icon)
355 * Open child (transient) windows on the current desktop if they don't have
356 a direct parent, or if the parents are not all on some other desktop.
357 (Fixes Pidgin and Gimp dialogs appearing on the wrong desktop)
358 * Make windows fit within the available space when they are first created,
359 if they are not user-positioned. (Fix xpdf making itself bigger than the
360 space inside the struts, and hiding behind them).
361 * Don't let child (transient) windows steal focus when the situation is
362 ambiguous
363 * Fix bevels and borders display in the titlebar
364 * Set the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW hint properly, when nothing is focused (This
365 is the proper fix for libwnck pagers.)

367 missing RevertToParent case)
368 * Fix new frame elements being given 0 sizes for very small windows
369 * Send iconified windows to the bottom of the focus order so you can
370 Alt-Shift-Tab to get back what you just iconified. This makes things more
371 predictable.
372 * Show the hostname for remotely run programs in iconified titles
373 * Stop focus flicker when sending windows to a desktop and following them,
374 and when changing desktops with an omnipresent window focused
375 * Empty desktop names in the configuration file are not used, so you can set
376 a name on the second desktop without having to set one on the first
377 * Make control key work for menu accelerators like it does for mouse
378 clicking and hitting enter
379 * Add C-A-Up/Down mouse bindings to switch desktops, similar to the

383 * Don't move mouse focus when the mouse is over the focus cycling dialog
384 * Fixes for positioning of frame decoration elements
385 * Update for Brazilian Portuguese translation

387 can't be resized don't "hide" the resizing contexts)
388 * Updated Italian translation
389 * Added Czech translation
390 * Fix for applications that do weird things with modal windows (Make sure
391 you can focus cycle to them)
392 * Updated Spanish translation
393 * Fix for programs using the old WM-spec, and not setting unused fields to
394 0 in _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages (Rox pinboard)
395 * Fixes for default rc.xml configuration file. Updated comments and comment
396 out the applications section in an xml compatible way.
397 * Update for Portuguese translation

399 * Fix for libwnck with iconify animation (Unmap the parent of the client's
400 window)
401 * Force the top left corner of new windows onto the screen area, if the
402 position wasn't requested by the user (Fix xpdf and others hiding their
403 titlebar under a panel)
404 * Fix for determining text geometry from Pango
405 * Save the desktop layout and names in the session, and restore them on next
406 log in.
407 * The &lt;desktop&gt; section from the configuration file is only used for
408 defaults, and so is only applied at the start of a new log-in. (Use ObConf
409 1.6.2 to change the config file for these options, and have them set
410 immediately, if you don't use a session manager to save them.)
411 * Fix updating and crashing in the old split client list menu
412 * Translate the default desktop names
413 * Update Taiwanese Chinese translation
414 * Less restrictions of behavior based on window type (Let you maximize
415 dialogs and utility windows)
416 * Fix for focus tracking when Press mouse actions are used
417 * Fix bug which let the openbox-*-session scripts take command-line arguments
418 * Better detection of legacy fullscreen windows vs. undercorated windows

433 state (or on restart)
434 * Let you move splash type windows
435 * Fix for window placement using wrong dimensions
436 * Stop xemacs ConfigureNotify storm
437 * Fix bug stopping panels from moving themselves off-screen to hide
438 themselves
439 * Fix for GNOME/Openbox and openbox-gnome-session to use a new session name,
440 because GNOME won't let you replace the window manager in the saved session
441 * Don't restore session state when multiple windows have the same
442 identifiers, because we can't tell them apart then (Firefox/Thunderbird)
443 * Small fixes to build system to make it more reliable
444 * Fix for what manpage files are distributed in the source code, so they
445 will not be pre-built with the wrong info
446 * Fix pkg-config files for compiling things against Openbox libraries
447
448 3.3.990:
449 * Wildcard matching for per-application (per-window) settings. Let you match
450 multiple rules for a window. (Props to Mark Pustjens for code to do this.)
451 * Added startup notification support to the menus and key/mouse bindings
452 with <startupnotify>. It's an option for execute actions.
453 * New combined client menu, accessed with
454 <action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu></action>
455 * No menu titles - instead added separators with labels to be used as menu
456 headers anywhere in menus
457 * Improved client menu - placement, the options in it, and added an icon for
458 "All Desktops"
459 * Keyboard shortcuts in menus, by highlighted letter or by the first letter
460 * Menus dont jump around, are always placed on screen
461 * Menus larger than can fit on the screen are broken into a submenu at the
462 bottom titled "More..."
463 * Disabled menu items can be selected now (not used though, of course)
464 * Using ()'s instead of a line separator to signify iconified windows in the
465 client list menus
466 * New Root context for mouse bindings
467 * New "alt-tab" focus switching dialog
468 * openbox-session command and log-in option which provides the autostart
469 capability.
470 * SCIM support in the default Openbox session launched by the
471 openbox-session command
472 * Many code paths made significantly faster
473 * Sections of code rewritten to be more reliable, such as session
474 save/restore and input focus handling
475 * Handle the X server's clock going backwards, without locking up. Sometimes
476 the server can still lock up though, it is not recommended to do this!
477 * Better handling of window types such as docks, utility windows, tool bar
478 windows. Clicking to focus these windows is done more intelligently. Dock
479 windows no longer get focus when you click them, so that you don't have
480 focus flickering when you use a dock window with a taskbar.
481 * Better language support through Pango, which is now mandatory, and the
482 code for Pango has been greatly improved and optimized.
483 * Support for windows that use true 32-bit transparency
484 * Resize grips (with mouse binding contexts) for the top, left, and right of
485 the window frame
486 * Smarter about keeping windows on the screen without invading user's
487 capabilities
488 * Add MoveFromEdge* actions corresponding to MoveToEdge* but aligns far
489 edges instead of near edges, so if you have two overlapping windows you
490 can easily put them side by side.
491 * Better choice of mouse cursors for startup notification
492 * Focus stealing prevention
493 * Improve window placement across multiple Xinerama monitors
494 * Support 8-bit truecolor visuals (such as in vncserver)
495 * Better, more friendly support for omnipresent windows
496 * Full support for EWMH 1.4-draft2
497 * Iconify/restore animation !
498 * Improved support for running openbox with multiple screens (non-xinerama)
499 - won't steal focus from other screens, and let you focus a screen by
500 clicking on the desktop (root window).
501 * Support for more cursors through XCursor, means that startup notification
502 can use a pointer+watch cursor if you are using an XCursor theme
503 * Fully maximize terminal windows (and any resized-by-increment window)
504 * Show the hostname of clients running on remote computers in the titlebar
505 * Add <panels> and <desktop> options to NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
506 DirectionalFocusNorth etc..
507 * Synchronize resizing with the application when possible
508 * Smarter subdivision of windows into 9 sections for resizing
509 * Set default icon on windows so applications can agree on an icon
510 * Better support for programs that are on more than one desktop
511 (multiple firefox windows for example) - move to the desktop when you're
512 using the application and it opens a window on another desktop.
513 * Chrooted key chains, and key quoting through chroots
514 * New BreakChroot action to break out of the current chroot
515 * New keychains popup, to show where you are in a keychain
516 * Improved show-desktop mode. When you open a new window, the old windows
517 are not all restored
518 * Add <allDesktops> option to NextWindow and PreviousWindow. The desktop
519 name will be shown in the focus cycling popup
520 * Dynamically size the window and desktop dialogs. Desktop layouts that
521 aren't horizontal look better in the desktop cycling dialog.
522 * Support for legacy fullscreen applications (that don't use EWMH) such as
523 VLC
524 * Session support for old clients that do not use the session management
525 protocol
526 * Desktop setup is only changed on startup, so as to not overwrite settings
527 from other apps like pagers
528 * Take advantage of ksmserver (KDE Session Manager) features
529 * KDE/Openbox and GNOME/Openbox options for display manager GDM/KDM. Use
530 openbox-gnome-session and openbox-kde-session to run a GNOME or KDE
531 session with Openbox as the window manager.
532 * Titlebar buttons autohide when hiding won't move other buttons (removed
533 the hideDisabled option from config file)
534 * Support user time window hint, which is good for laptops power usage
535 * When legacy windows raise themselves, interpreate as wanting to be
536 activated. Makes Firefox more pleasant.
537 * Don't show handles on windows that cant resize for more extreme visual
538 minimalism
539 * Let you move maximized windows between Xinerama monitors
540 * Improve application awareness of focus, e.g. Kopete and Firefox, so they
541 know when they are or aren't focused, and which window in their
542 application is focused
543 * Improvements in the distributed themes
544 * Add new Clearlooks and Clearlooks-Olive themes by John McKnight
545 * Fonts are no longer loaded from theme. They are loaded from the rc.xml
546 config file. Font shadow settings are still loaded from the theme though.
547 5 fonts to be set: ActiveWindow InactiveWindow, MenuHeader, MenuItem and
548 OnScreenDisplay
549 * Distributed theme names have been renamed with Capitalization
550 * menu.items.activedisabled.text.color
551 * menu.border.color (note that globbing might set these properties when
552 you didnt mean to)
553 * window.active.border.color (note that globbing might set these
554 properties when you didnt mean to)
555 * window.inactive.border.color (note that globbing might set these
556 properties when you didnt mean to)
557 * menu.border.width
558 * Guarantee that titlebar buttons are even sized, so even sized icons
559 (button masks) will be centered
560 * Default titlebar button icons (as xbms) installed to /usr/share/doc/openbox
561 * New mouse binding contexts Left, Right, TLCorner, TRCorner and Top. These
562 need bindings in config file to be useful. Also new context Bottom which
563 is synonym for Handle.
564 * W is no longer hard coded to Mod4. It is now a shortcut for Super, which
565 is usually bound to Mod4. xmodmap will show your mapping.
566 * The per-app setting <head> has been renamed to <monitor>
567 * Can use "default" for anything in per-app settings
568 * Removed <edges_hit_layers_below> option from config file

639 3.3.1:
640 * Fix panels getting a border with keepBorder turned on.
641 * Fix a crash in mirrorhorizontal when drawing a surface with width 1.
642
643 3.3:
644 * Add a showDelay option for the dock.
645 * Fixed onscreen-keeping code which broke a bit in -rc2.
646 * Fix incorrect handling of window properties on 64 bit arches.
647 * Fix pixelsize being the same as size for pango, now it is correct.
648 * Fix drawing of icons taller than wide, eg gimp.
649 * Add a 'mirrorhorizontal' gradient, like horizontal but mirrored in the
650 center and 'splitvertical' which is like vertical but nonlinear in a fancy
651 way.
652 * Translations for de, hr and zh_TW added.
653 * Add initial per-app settings support.
654 * Fix some outstanding issues with 64-bit support.
655 * Add an optional delay for displaying submenus so you can move the mouse
656 over some entries without flashing each submenu.
657 * Plug some minor memleaks and fix minor bugs.
658 * Changed algorithm for downscaling window icons.
659 * New themes!
660 * Disable support for libstartup-notification by default, it doesn't seem
661 to work well.
662 * Allow disabling of duplicate window numbering by option titleNumber in
663 theme section.
664 * Add moverelative and resizerelative actions.
665 * Option middle for menus that make submenus be centered instead of aligned
666 by the top edge to the parent entry.
667 * Fix transient (ie dialog) windows being placed offscreen if the parent
668 is close to the edge of the screen.
669
670 3.3-rc2:
671 * Fixed some typos and errors in rc.xsd
672 * Add the noStrut option to the dock (to allow maximizing windows over it),
673 useful when it is not in the above layer.
674 * Fix transparent terminals not updating when using ToggleDecor.
675 * Yet more poking at the onscreen-keeping code, should now do the right
676 thing always.
677 * Add an option to hide disabled buttons instead of showing them as disabled.
678 * Hopefully fixed all the remaining pango issues. The new 1.10 release also
679 fixes shadows again.
680 * I think the lib linking in Makefile.am is right now, please tell me if it
681 isn't.
682 * Added a finnish translation and some minor updates to others.
683 * Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
684 other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
685
686 3.3-rc1:
687 * Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
688 are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
689 * Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
690 breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
691 here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
692 to be fixed.
693 * Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
694 the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
695 * Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
696 * Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
697 linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
698 anyway, just move the mouse.
699 * Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
700 options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
701 window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
702 * Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
703 I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.
704 * Bugs 1783, 1812, 1863, 1905, 2005, 1957 fixed.
705 * Some translations added. (ca, no, pl, ru, fr)
706
707 3.2:
708 * Added spanish and swedish translations
709 * Changed "Unnamed Desktop" to "Desktop n" where n is the actual
710 number of the desktop
711 * Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
712 * the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
713 tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
714 anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
715 edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
716 * Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
717 * Added probably too many options and actions
718 * ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
719 doesn't save it to the config
720 * keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
721 toggleDecorations
722 * added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
723 move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
724 popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
725 Nonpixel (this is the default).
726 * Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
727 edge, note that the default is true
728 * warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
729 to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
730 cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
731 * Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
732 change desktops and have followMouse on)
733 * Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
734 firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
735 grid to start in the middle.
736 * I think that was everything, have fun
737
738 3.1:
739 * Added japanese translation (bug #1029)

747 RaiseLower action)
748 * Closed bug #1007 (use g_snprintf in openbox/session.c instead of
749 sprintf)
750 * Closed bug #1001 (gimp crashes openbox)
751 * Closed bug #1005 (import -frame leaves windows in a temporary
752 "on top" state)
753 * Closed bug #881 (Programs started with X become zombies upon
754 shutdown.)
755 * Closed bug #1025 (desktopnext/previous and desktopleft/right dont
756 quite get along)
757

826 * Added intelligence to window cycling and raise/lowering based on

829 side effect that panels which do not set the ABOVE state (most panels
830 curerntly around) will no longer be kept always on top. You can set the
831 ABOVE state yourself by using the client menu (Alt-RightClick in the
832 default bindings) and selecting the Always on top Layer
