95 (Resolves request #3762).
96 * Fix for showing Openbox menus with multiple monitors, don't restrict them
97 to the monitor where the mouse is.
98 * Fixed bug #4023 (Allow the user to have multiple keys which perform the
99 same function in Openbox menus/move/resize. E.g. two keys which are
100 both bound to Escape.
101 * Add a new obprop tool, which can be used to read the _OB_ROLE, _OB_NAME,

103 window.
104 * Add _OB_ROLE, _OB_NAME, and _OB_CLASS hints on each window that show the

106 the window when it appears.
107 * Improve Openbox interoperability with gnome-session >= 2.24.
108 * Fixed bug #4040 (Remove desktop hints set by gdm in the openbox-session

112 * Show the desktop pager popup on the primary monitor instead of on all
113 monitors.

122 * Respond to all strut changes, fixes moving/hiding panels.
123 * Fix internal code to focus windows on other desktops correctly (Fixes

125 * Focus correctness fixups for switching desktops.
126 * Fixed bug #4373 (Decoration bug for shaded maximized windows).

138 * Fixed bug #4344 where borders were given to windows that should not have
139 them.
140 * Merge the SessionLogout and Exit actions. They now test if connected to a
141 session manager and ask it to exit if so, or simply kill Openbox if not.
142 * Further tweaks to the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message handling. Use the same
143 logic for focus-stealing as is used when mapping a new window.
144 * Don't go out of our way any more to prevent focus from moving while the
145 keyboard is grabbed.
146 * Fix openbox-gnome-session when using gnome-session > 2.22.
147
148 3.4.8-rc2:
149 * Updated translations: Italian, Croatian, Ukrainian.
150 * When resizing a window while focus cycling with bar=no, the bar no longer
151 reappears.
152 * Correctly handle shaped windows using the ShapeInput kind, this is used
153 by many composited apps to pass through clicks in their transparent areas.
154 * Fix the <monitor> per-app setting.
155 * Avoid using anonymous unions.
156 * Windows that had their decorations removed by per-app settings were still
157 placed as if they still had their decorations.
158 * Fix event handling not to ignore events on a window when they have an unmap
159 event in the queue, if that unmap event doesn't cause the window to be
160 unmanaged.
161 * Show the desktop switch on every monitor in xinerama.
162 * Fix interpretation of struts in xinerama where the screens have different
163 sizes.
164 * Add "next" and "prev" as possible <monitor> targets in the moveto and
165 resizeto actions.
166 * Allow escaping the _ used to mark the shortcut character in menu labels.
167 You can now change the (first) _ in a label to __, this will be displayed
168 as a single underscore. The rest of the _ in the string will be unaffected,
169 so only double the first one.
170 * Only replace ~ with the home directory when it is preceded by whitespace or
171 is at the start of the string, and when it is followed by a space, slash, or
172 the end of the string. This is implemented with GRegex, and so the required
173 glib version has been bumped to 2.14.
174 * Some other small fixes.
175
176 3.4.8-rc1:
177 * Updated translations: Basque, Catalan, Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Russian.
178 * New translations: Danish, Turkish, Lithuanian.
179 * Set the _MOTIF_WM_INFO atom so urxvt uses motif hints for borderless mode.
180 * Properly escape the xml used in session files.
181 * Correct a 64-bit issue related to comparing timestamps.
182 * There is a sneaky sentence right at the end of a big paragraph in the
183 wm-spec document that says windows mapping with _NET_WM_USER_TIME=0 should
184 not be focused initially, honor this request.
185 * When moving a window to another desktop with following on, bring the
186 window's helper windows (for example gimp image windows with the toolbox
187 set to utility window).
188 * Change the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages again, if they originate from the
189 app and the window is on another desktop, just set the demands_attention
190 flag. If the event came from the user (ie pager/panel), then the window
191 is still moved to the current desktop.
192
193 3.4.7.2:
194 * The system I used to generate the dist tarball didn't have the
195 docbook-to-man command so the manpages were empty.
196
197 3.4.7.1:
198 * Not to be outdone by the cairo team, I introduced a bug in the last release
199 which made resizing not give any feedback. This is now fixed.
200
201 3.4.7:
202 * Fully updated Czech, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, German,
203 French, Hungarian, Norwegian, Vietnamese, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish,
204 Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese and Portuguese translations
205 * Partially updated Spanish translation
206 * Add an example of the "force" option for the per-app placement options to
207 the default rc.xml file
208 * Add a new xdg-autostart script. This will eventually end up in the PyXDG
209 distribution hopefully, but it is included in Openbox for now. This script
210 runs things based on the freedesktop.org autostart specification. You can
211 have it run GNOME, KDE, ROX, or XFCE specific things if you want. The
212 new default system-wide autostart.sh script runs it automatically
213 * Update the default menu.xml to include a lot of common apps
214 * Fix white font shadows (negative shadowtint)
215 * Update the autostart.sh to find gnome-settings-daemon correctly, as the
216 GNOME people have moved it to libexec
217 * Fix focus possibly getting stolen when using the Focus action
218 * Drastically speed up rendering of Vertical and SplitVertical gradients
219 * Speed improvements also for Horizonal and Pyramid gradients
220 * Add new theme options, menu.overlap.x and menu.overlap.y options, that let
221 you independently control the horizontal and vertical position of submenus
222 * Change _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages to not change the current desktop, but
223 to bring the window to the current desktop instead. This is the industry
224 standard policy
225 * Use the pretty new openbox.png icon as the default window icon
226 * Allow matching per-application rules to windows by their window type
227 (normal, dialog, splash, etc). The default rc.xml has more details
228 * Add new Openbox-themed prompt windows. Use these prompt windows to ask
229 before killing off windows that aren't responding. This also means we
230 don't need to ping every window constantly forever
231 * Add a new <prompt> option to the Execute action. If this is set to a
232 string, a dialog will be shown with that string in it and "yes"/"no"
233 buttons. The command to be executed will only be run if the user selects
234 "yes" in the dialog
235 * Add a new <prompt> option to the Exit action, which is a boolean (not a
236 string). When true, Openbox will show a dialog confirming if you want to
237 exit. The default is to show the prompt
238 * Reduce Openbox's memory footprint and speed up rendering through the use
239 of a new icon cache, so that Openbox only needs to keep 1 copy of an icon
240 when 100 different windows share it
241 * Make Openbox menus have the "menu type" hint for compositors to see and use
242 * Fix the MoveResizeTo action for negative coords (opposite edges)
243 * Fix key bindings getting lost if multiple bindings at the same level could
244 not be translated (Fixes VMWare causing Openbox keybindings to stop
245 working)
246 * Fix the resize popup box for terminal windows with a base size of 0 (show
247 the right size values for urxvt terminals)
248 * Fix some off-by-one bugs with the edge growing/shrinking code
249 * Add new theme options for menu line separators: menu.separator.color,
250 menu.separator.width, menu.separator.padding.width,
251 menu.separator.padding.height
252 * Add xfce-mcs-manager to the default autostart.sh, and run it automatically
253 when gnome-settings-daemon is not present to have GTK apps inherit settings
254 from the XFCE configuration tools
255 * Make the send-to-desktop menu in the client-menu indicate which is the current
256 desktop for omnipresent windows, and don't close it if just toggling
257 omni-presence when ctrl-clicking
258 * Add a new SessionLogout action that logs out through the session manager,
259 when running Openbox within a session manager such as within an
260 GNOME/Openbox or KDE/Openbox session. The action includes a <prompt>
261 option which is similar to the Exit action's
262 * Add a new gdm-control command that lets you control gdm from within an X
263 session. The gdm-control lets you change GDM's behaviour for when you end
264 the current session. For instance, you can tell GDM to reboot, and
265 then immediately log out of the current session, and the computer will be
266 rebooted
267 * Show an information dialog when an error occurs for Openbox, such as when
268 the Execute action fails or when XML syntax errors are present in the
269 configuration files
270 * When making a window very narrow, don't draw buttons to the right of the title
271 on top of the ones on its left.
272
273 3.4.6.1:
274 * Updated Clearlooks theme
275 * Add the force="yes/no" option for the per-app settings' <position> tag
276 * Raise and focus modal children and their direct parents together, improved
277 usability with direct modal transient windows
278 * Fix crash when using <raise> for NextWindow and there are no windows
279 to move focus to
280 * Add the <manageDesktops> option in the rc.xml <menu> section, which toggles
281 the "Manage Desktops" section appearing in the combined-client-list-menu
282 * Fix for menu headers showing the wrong text
283 * Fix for the <focusLast> behavior
284 * Treat modal direct children as one window with their parent consistently
285
286 3.4.6:
287 * Added Basque translation
288 * Updated French, Vietnamese German, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Portuguese,
289 Brasilian Portuguese, Norwegian, and Finnish translations
290 * New Clearlooks theme, updated by David Barr
291 * Updated the previous Clearlooks theme, and renamed it to Clearlooks-3.4
292 * Allow dialog type windows to go fullscreen (Fixes Kpdf)
293 * Remove the extraneous top border for undecorated windows while maximized
294 * Fixes for keyboard modifiers (Alt-tab dialog getting stuck on screen for
295 some users)
296 * Automatically catch changes to the keyboard map and reconfigure the key
297 bindings on the fly
298 * Fix focus moving incorrectly sometimes with focus under mouse enabled
299 * Make default configuration focus the desktop when you right click
300 * Add the <bar> and <raise> options for all window cycling actions, allowing
301 you to have your target window temporarily raised above all others, and to
302 turn the focus target indicator bar off
303 * Improve the LastDesktop action to not remember desktops you skipped across
304 * Ignore mouse clicks that are made on override-redirect (unmanaged) windows
305 * When opening a menu with a key binding, don't use the key binding to run
306 something in the menu
307 * Add a <monitor> option for window placement, which gives you the option
308 to place new windows on the active monitor, or the monitor where the mouse
309 is, instead of on any monitor (for xinerama multihead setups)
310 * Add options for placing the window move/resize coordinate popup window in
311 a fixed position on screen, rather than relative to the window being
312 moved or resized
313 * Prevent the dock from auto-hiding completely offscreen if the theme has
314 no borders for it
315 * New icon
316 * Fix race condition when running things that want to grab the keyboard
317 (e.g. gnome-panel-control --main-menu)
318 * When dialog windows ask to not appear in the taskbar, still give them focus
319 in normal ways (fixes new GNOME session logout dialogs)
320 * Fix bug with resizing corners on certain parts of the window frame
321 * Ping applications to tell when they are running or have become frozen.
322 Show a [Not Responding] message in the title bar of windows which are
323 frozen.
324 * When closing a window which is [Not Responding], kill the window's process
325 if it is running on the same machine as Openbox. Otherwise, just
326 disconnect
327 the window from the X display. A second attempt to close a [Not
328 Responding]
329 window will kill it forcefully (kill -9).
330 * Fixes for internal timers
331 * Add a <wmclass> option for the execute action's startup-notification. This
332 lets you tell Openbox that the application will map a window with the
333 specified class - for applications that do not support startup-notification
334 natively.
335 * Fix for empty dock taking up space onscreen after a reconfigure
336 * Reduce Openbox's additional memory footprint per-window and per-menu
337 * Faster horizontal gradient rendering
338 * Don't deiconify windows that aren't allowed to be directly iconified on
339 restart (eg toolbars), as they can be iconified by other means
340 * Improve support for fullscreen windows in xinerama (TwinView) and
341 multiple-screen setups
342 * Add a --config-file command line option, to specify an alternate
343 configuration file path
344
345 3.4.5:
346 * Added Hungarian translation
347 * Updated Finnish, Russian, German and French translations
348 * Fixed some very minor memory leaks
349 * Hide the desktop popup when showing the focus popup
350 * Fix a crash when trying to access the More... menu of
351 client-list-combined-menu
352 * Fix the coordinate popup only showing up on the first monitor in xinerama
353 * Add --exit to exit the currently running openbox instance
354
355 3.4.4:
356 * Updated Traditional Chinese translation
357 * Updated Norwegian translation
358 * Fix for MoveToEdge skipping edges sometimes
359 * Let you specify the vertical and horizontal padding independently in themes
360 * Fix so that if you select an omnipresent window on another desktop in the
361 client list menus, it will go to that desktop
362 * Make the GrowToEdge action shrink once there is no more room to grow,
363 similar to in 3.4.2, but shrinking to edges as well
364 * Move the Send To and Layers submenus to the top of the client menu
365 * Fix race causing omnipresent windows to lose focus when switching desktops
366 very quickly
367 * Don't focus new windows on other desktops if they aren't related to the
368 currently focused window
369 * Add corner resizing areas in the inner client border (Fixes themes such
370 as Onyx)
371 * New focus stealing prevention that is smart and not intrusive and not
372 annoying
373 * Revert a small change in 3.4.3 that caused windows to be placed funny in
374 Smart placement when there was a dock or something on the side of the
375 screen
376 * Show a notification when switching desktops
377 * Fix for delayed focus-follows-mouse interrupting move/resize or menus
378 * Make screen edge warp keep warping without having the move the mouse 1
379 pixel
380 * Fix for resizing terminals in the top/left sides getting a little confused
381 * Fix to keep oldschool (Non-EWMH) fullscreen windows from being moved and
382 resized inside of the struts (Fixes Acroread)
383 * Accept the <command> option for the Restart command, similar to the Execute
384 action
385 * Don't make clicking on dock apps sometimes act like clicking on the root
386 window (Don't propogate button events up)
387 * Fix a bug introduced in 3.4.3 which caused the Windows key as a modifier
388 for bindings to not work properly
389 * Let windows skip across monitors in a Xinerama setup when using MoveToEdge
390 or Shift-arrow in an interactive move
391 * Make move and resize take the dock into account for resistance
392 * Raise new windows when it makes sense, when they aren't being focused
393 * Change default config to use click events for mouse wheel bindings instead
394 of presses
395
396 3.4.3:
397 * Add Ukrainian translation
398 * Updated translations:
399 - Japanese, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Estonian, German, Portuguese,
400 Vietnamese, Finnish, Czech, Arabic, Spanish, Swedish, French
401 * Improve focus fallback - don't fallback to windows you can't focus cycle
402 (Alt-Tab) to
403 * Don't show the client border for undecorated windows when keepBorder is on,
404 just the outer border
405 * Some improvements in the smart placement to help it find a place more
406 often. This needs more work still.
407 * Don't focus windows that appear under the mouse in mouse-focus mode unless
408 underMouse is enabled
409 * Don't move focus when the window under the pointer iconifies unless
410 underMouse is enabled
411 * Respect min/max window sizes when a window is fullscreened or maximized.
412 This fixes problems experienced with maximizing vnc windows
413 * Don't XUngrabKeyboard unless we need to
414 * Correct calculations for the menu header width, so that they are not
415 ellisized unnecessarily
416 * Advanced support for partial struts. When you maximize a window it will
417 now only use the struts it needs to. This can greatly improve
418 xinerama functionality.
419 * Fixes for how the dock is placed in certain positions on screen (off by 1
420 errors)
421 * New default bindings:
422 - don't unshade when clicking on the titlebar
423 - raise when unshading with the scrollwheel
424 - lower when shading with the scrollwheel
425 * Don't show the top resize area in the titlebar when a window is shaded

431 the titlebar.
432 * Don't resist against desklet windows (below layer + skip taskbar)
433 * New actions for dynamically adjusting your desktop workspaces:
434 - AddDesktopLast, RemoveDesktopLast
435 - AddDesktopCurrent, RemoveDestopCurrent
436 * New <center> option for smart placement (default is on)
437 * Fix MoveToCenter in Xinerama (TwinView) setups
438 * Let you lower a window without lowering its children or siblings
439 * Don't set the default Openbox icon on child windows, let them inherit the
440 icon from their parents
441 * Fix Onyx themes - fade out disabled buttons
442 * Don't auto-resize windows to fit on screen if they are UserSpecified
443 Size or Position
444 * Don't activate windows which raise themselves anymore. It was a nice
445 thought, but it caused too much problems
446 * Rewrite of the actions subsystem
447 * Removed deprecated actions:
448 - ShowDesktop, UnshowDesktop (Use ToggleShowDesktop)
449 - ResizeRelativeVert, ResizeRelativeHorz (Use ResizeRelative)
450 * Combined the MoveFromEdge* actions with MoveToEdge* actions, and removed
451 the MoveFromEdge* action names.
452 * Switch desktops when moving a window and you drag it to the edge of the
453 screen (added the <screenEdgeWarpTime> option for this)
454 * Add actions to add/remove the last desktop in the client list menus
455 * Use startup notification when launching ObConf in the default root menu
456 * Remove the desktop switching dialog, as it confuses people and they don't
457 know how to turn it off to switch desktops instantly. Some other
458 incarnation may return in the future.
459 * Add optional <finalactions> option for NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
460 DirectionalFocus*, and DirectionalTarget* actions
461 * Don't focus new helper windows unless they are alone in their group. This
462 fixes gucharmap
463 * Fancy keyboard window moving:
464 - Shift-arrow will move the window to the next edge
465 - Control-arrow will move the window by only 1 pixel
466 - Arrow will move the window by a larger number of pixels
467 * Fancy keyboard window resizing:
468 - The first arrow will choose an edge to resize (then you can grow or
469 shrink the window on that edge)
470 - Hitting an arrow perpendicular to your selected edge will choose a
471 different edge to resize
472 - Shift-arrow will grow/shrink the window to the next edge
473 - Control arrow will grow/shrink the window by only 1 pixel
474 - Arrow will grow/shrink the window by a larger number of pixel
475 * Timeout when synchronously resizing a window so you can still resize busy
476 or dead application windows
477 * Let you specify keyboard shortcuts in your root menus with _. Such as
478 label="XTe_rm" would make 'r' the shortcut key.
479 * Fixes for placing windows with per-app settings:
480 - you can now place windows relative to any edge of the screen instead of
481 only the top left. (-0 uses the far edge, +0 uses the near edge. You can
482 use --0 and +-0 to specify negative numbers.)
483 - fix bug with windows being placed far off-screen occasionally
484 - allow you to place windows partially outside of the screen
485 - let per-app settings override program-specified positions (but not if it
486 is user-specified)
487 * Add user-specified margins to the configuration file
488 * Fix for transient windows in groups with transient windows of the group
489 transients. That wasn't supposed to be legible. i.e. 2 group transients
490 and 1 direct transient for one of the group transients.
491 * Don't include child/parent windows in tests for being occluded or occluding
492 other windows, since you can't raise/lower above/below them. This fixes
493 the raiselower action for windows which have children.
494 * Reduce the size of the middle gradient in splitvertical gradients. This
495 makes the split harder than it was in 3.4.2
496 * Don't include debian/ dir in releases
497 * Add resize bindings for the edges to the default hardcoded bindings
498 * Fix focus cycle indicator positioning for some windows (i.e. OpenOffice)
499 * Add the MoveResizeTo action. This is very xinerama aware! It also lets
500 you move a window to any edge of any screen.
501 * Make actions that look for edges include the dock's edges (e.g. MoveToEdge)
502 * New preferred option for the Execute action is <command> instead of
503 <execute> but the old one will still work.
504 * Fix for moving windows partially offsceen causing them to jump far away
505 * Fix for windows which are not on any monitor, to keep them on screen
506 partically too
507 * Require libstartupnotification 0.8 in configure (we use stuff that was not
508 around in some earlier versions)
509 * Grab the server when mapping windows to avoid race conditions in other
510 programs (getting MapNotify before you are visible)
511 * Handle case gracefully when ConfigureRequent for restacking specifies
512 a siblig which we aren't managing
513 * Use KeyRelease to run things from Openbox menus, so that the release
514 does not go to the focused window (causing the new window to not get
515 focus)
516 * Add new actions for controlling window decorations:
517 - Decorate, Undecorate
518 * Fix so that the values for per-app settings are not case sensitive
519 * Fix crash with very small windows
520 * Fix resize resistance for windows with aspect ratio limits
521 * Let you resize windows with aspect ratio limits in the vertical directions
522

524 * Add ability to set the bevel strength in themes
525 * Fix for focusLast with omnipresent windows
526 * Cache pipe menus while the menus are open
527 * Allow non-interactive directional focus key bindings
528 * Change how nested interactive key bindings work (it stays in the key chain,
529 like chroot, until you end the interactive action)
530 * Fix for gtk apps trying to get focus - mostly nullify focus stealing
531 prevention (Fixes Tilda)
532 * Send ConfigureNotify always on ConfigureRequest (Previous emacs fix
533 makes this possible now)
534 * Fix RelativeResize action for right/bottom edges
535 * Remove SCIM from the default autostart.sh - it has caused problems with
536 some (buggy) panels, such as pypanel
537 * Fix the titlebar changing to non-focused when iconifying a window with
538 animation
539 * Use the new osd theme hints for the dock, rather than the titlebar hints
540 * Fix rare crash when menu is hidden while browsing it
541 * End move/resize more cleanly when focus moves during a move/resize
542 * Don't focus new windows when browsing a menu or moving/resizing a window,
543 just flash the window instead, so that the menu/move/resize doesn't have to
544 cancel.
545
546 3.4.1:
547 * Add Vietnamese translation
548 * Add Japanese translation
549 * Keep new transient windows from not getting focus when any related window
550 has focus already
551 * Change behavior of underMouse option - make focus go under the mouse when
552 no window has focus anymore, rather than to the last used window
553 * Make on-screen display dialogs (such as the Alt-Tab dialog) appear on the
554 active monitor when using Xinerama (a.k.a. TwinView)
555 * Fix for window stacking - let you lower sibling transient windows behind
556 eachother
557 * Fix directional focus actions when used without a dialog
558 * Fix race that could prevent ObConf from setting the desktop names correctly
559 * Add new theme options:
560 - window.active.button.toggled.image.color has been split into:

562 - window.active.button.toggled.pressed.image.color
563 - window.active.button.toggled.hover.image.color
564 - window.inactive.button.toggled.image.color has been split into:

566 - window.inactive.button.toggled.pressed.image.color
567 - window.inactive.button.toggled.hover.image.color
568 - window.active.button.toggled.bg has been split into:
569 - window.active.button.toggled.unpressed.bg
570 - window.active.button.toggled.pressed.bg
571 - window.active.button.toggled.hover.bg
572 - window.inactive.button.toggled.bg has been split into:
573 - window.inactive.button.toggled.unpressed.bg

577 * Updated Mikachu theme using new theme options
578 * Improvements to splitvertical gradients - Add a small gradient in the
579 middle between the upper and lower gradients
580 * Fix another emacs event storm, don't configure the window when it sets its
581 WM_NORMAL_HINTS unless we have to
582 * Fix for focus cycling to helper windows - Don't count dialogs as a sibling,
583 so they don't stop you
584 * Allow the use of negative numbers in per-app settings position to place a
585 window relative to the right/bottom edges of your monitor (taking the
586 struts (panels) into account)
587 * Fix focus moving irrationally when focusLast was off

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

649 from stealing focus, and allow new windows to get focus when any relative
650 window is focused
651 * Fixes for frame decorations layout
652 * Fixes for forcing window sizes to fit on the screen. Don't resize windows
653 if they are a user-specified size (USSize) or if they are non-normal
654 windows. (Fix Rox pinboard mapping across multiple monitors)
655 * Centre window icons when they are not square
656 * Fixes for Java windows behaving badly - Java makes all kinds of

679 * When a window has modal children on another desktop and you try to focus
680 it, bring the modal child to the current desktop to focus it instead

705 * Update for Russian translation
706 * Added Dutch translation
707 * Fix for choosing badly sized icons from the window for the window cycling
708 dialog (and other things). (Fixes Pidgin icon)
709 * Open child (transient) windows on the current desktop if they don't have
710 a direct parent, or if the parents are not all on some other desktop.
711 (Fixes Pidgin and Gimp dialogs appearing on the wrong desktop)
712 * Make windows fit within the available space when they are first created,
713 if they are not user-positioned. (Fix xpdf making itself bigger than the
714 space inside the struts, and hiding behind them).
715 * Don't let child (transient) windows steal focus when the situation is
716 ambiguous
717 * Fix bevels and borders display in the titlebar
718 * Set the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW hint properly, when nothing is focused (This

721 missing RevertToParent case)
722 * Fix new frame elements being given 0 sizes for very small windows
723 * Send iconified windows to the bottom of the focus order so you can
724 Alt-Shift-Tab to get back what you just iconified. This makes things more

727 * Stop focus flicker when sending windows to a desktop and following them,
728 and when changing desktops with an omnipresent window focused

731 * Make control key work for menu accelerators like it does for mouse
732 clicking and hitting enter
733 * Add C-A-Up/Down mouse bindings to switch desktops, similar to the

756 position wasn't requested by the user (Fix xpdf and others hiding their
757 titlebar under a panel)
758 * Fix for determining text geometry from Pango
759 * Save the desktop layout and names in the session, and restore them on next
760 log in.
761 * The &lt;desktop&gt; section from the configuration file is only used for
762 defaults, and so is only applied at the start of a new log-in. (Use ObConf
763 1.6.2 to change the config file for these options, and have them set
764 immediately, if you don't use a session manager to save them.)
765 * Fix updating and crashing in the old split client list menu
766 * Translate the default desktop names
767 * Update Taiwanese Chinese translation
768 * Less restrictions of behavior based on window type (Let you maximize

791 * Fix bug stopping panels from moving themselves off-screen to hide

794 because GNOME won't let you replace the window manager in the saved session
795 * Don't restore session state when multiple windows have the same
796 identifiers, because we can't tell them apart then (Firefox/Thunderbird)
797 * Small fixes to build system to make it more reliable
798 * Fix for what manpage files are distributed in the source code, so they
799 will not be pre-built with the wrong info
800 * Fix pkg-config files for compiling things against Openbox libraries
801
802 3.3.990:
803 * Wildcard matching for per-application (per-window) settings. Let you match
804 multiple rules for a window. (Props to Mark Pustjens for code to do this.)
805 * Added startup notification support to the menus and key/mouse bindings
806 with <startupnotify>. It's an option for execute actions.
807 * New combined client menu, accessed with
808 <action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu></action>
809 * No menu titles - instead added separators with labels to be used as menu
810 headers anywhere in menus

812 "All Desktops"
813 * Keyboard shortcuts in menus, by highlighted letter or by the first letter
814 * Menus dont jump around, are always placed on screen
815 * Menus larger than can fit on the screen are broken into a submenu at the
816 bottom titled "More..."
817 * Disabled menu items can be selected now (not used though, of course)
818 * Using ()'s instead of a line separator to signify iconified windows in the
819 client list menus
820 * New Root context for mouse bindings
821 * New "alt-tab" focus switching dialog

826 * Many code paths made significantly faster
827 * Sections of code rewritten to be more reliable, such as session
828 save/restore and input focus handling
829 * Handle the X server's clock going backwards, without locking up. Sometimes
830 the server can still lock up though, it is not recommended to do this!
831 * Better handling of window types such as docks, utility windows, tool bar
832 windows. Clicking to focus these windows is done more intelligently. Dock
833 windows no longer get focus when you click them, so that you don't have
834 focus flickering when you use a dock window with a taskbar.
835 * Better language support through Pango, which is now mandatory, and the
836 code for Pango has been greatly improved and optimized.
837 * Support for windows that use true 32-bit transparency
838 * Resize grips (with mouse binding contexts) for the top, left, and right of
839 the window frame
840 * Smarter about keeping windows on the screen without invading user's
841 capabilities
842 * Add MoveFromEdge* actions corresponding to MoveToEdge* but aligns far
843 edges instead of near edges, so if you have two overlapping windows you
844 can easily put them side by side.
845 * Better choice of mouse cursors for startup notification
846 * Focus stealing prevention
847 * Improve window placement across multiple Xinerama monitors
848 * Support 8-bit truecolor visuals (such as in vncserver)
849 * Better, more friendly support for omnipresent windows
850 * Full support for EWMH 1.4-draft2
851 * Iconify/restore animation !
852 * Improved support for running openbox with multiple screens (non-xinerama)
853 - won't steal focus from other screens, and let you focus a screen by
854 clicking on the desktop (root window).
855 * Support for more cursors through XCursor, means that startup notification
856 can use a pointer+watch cursor if you are using an XCursor theme
857 * Fully maximize terminal windows (and any resized-by-increment window)
858 * Show the hostname of clients running on remote computers in the titlebar
859 * Add <panels> and <desktop> options to NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
860 DirectionalFocusNorth etc..
861 * Synchronize resizing with the application when possible
862 * Smarter subdivision of windows into 9 sections for resizing
863 * Set default icon on windows so applications can agree on an icon
864 * Better support for programs that are on more than one desktop

868 * New BreakChroot action to break out of the current chroot

870 * Improved show-desktop mode. When you open a new window, the old windows
871 are not all restored
872 * Add <allDesktops> option to NextWindow and PreviousWindow. The desktop
873 name will be shown in the focus cycling popup
874 * Dynamically size the window and desktop dialogs. Desktop layouts that
875 aren't horizontal look better in the desktop cycling dialog.
876 * Support for legacy fullscreen applications (that don't use EWMH) such as
877 VLC
878 * Session support for old clients that do not use the session management
879 protocol
880 * Desktop setup is only changed on startup, so as to not overwrite settings
881 from other apps like pagers
882 * Take advantage of ksmserver (KDE Session Manager) features
883 * KDE/Openbox and GNOME/Openbox options for display manager GDM/KDM. Use
884 openbox-gnome-session and openbox-kde-session to run a GNOME or KDE
885 session with Openbox as the window manager.
886 * Titlebar buttons autohide when hiding won't move other buttons (removed
887 the hideDisabled option from config file)
888 * Support user time window hint, which is good for laptops power usage
889 * When legacy windows raise themselves, interpreate as wanting to be
890 activated. Makes Firefox more pleasant.
891 * Don't show handles on windows that cant resize for more extreme visual
892 minimalism
893 * Let you move maximized windows between Xinerama monitors
894 * Improve application awareness of focus, e.g. Kopete and Firefox, so they
895 know when they are or aren't focused, and which window in their
896 application is focused
897 * Improvements in the distributed themes
898 * Add new Clearlooks and Clearlooks-Olive themes by John McKnight
899 * Fonts are no longer loaded from theme. They are loaded from the rc.xml
900 config file. Font shadow settings are still loaded from the theme though.
901 5 fonts to be set: ActiveWindow InactiveWindow, MenuHeader, MenuItem and
902 OnScreenDisplay
903 * Distributed theme names have been renamed with Capitalization
904 * menu.items.activedisabled.text.color
905 * menu.border.color (note that globbing might set these properties when
906 you didnt mean to)
907 * window.active.border.color (note that globbing might set these
908 properties when you didnt mean to)
909 * window.inactive.border.color (note that globbing might set these
910 properties when you didnt mean to)
911 * menu.border.width

995 * Fix a crash in mirrorhorizontal when drawing a surface with width 1.
996
997 3.3:
998 * Add a showDelay option for the dock.
999 * Fixed onscreen-keeping code which broke a bit in -rc2.
1000 * Fix incorrect handling of window properties on 64 bit arches.
1001 * Fix pixelsize being the same as size for pango, now it is correct.
1002 * Fix drawing of icons taller than wide, eg gimp.
1003 * Add a 'mirrorhorizontal' gradient, like horizontal but mirrored in the
1004 center and 'splitvertical' which is like vertical but nonlinear in a fancy
1005 way.
1006 * Translations for de, hr and zh_TW added.
1007 * Add initial per-app settings support.
1008 * Fix some outstanding issues with 64-bit support.
1009 * Add an optional delay for displaying submenus so you can move the mouse
1010 over some entries without flashing each submenu.
1011 * Plug some minor memleaks and fix minor bugs.
1012 * Changed algorithm for downscaling window icons.
1013 * New themes!
1014 * Disable support for libstartup-notification by default, it doesn't seem
1015 to work well.
1016 * Allow disabling of duplicate window numbering by option titleNumber in
1017 theme section.
1018 * Add moverelative and resizerelative actions.
1019 * Option middle for menus that make submenus be centered instead of aligned
1020 by the top edge to the parent entry.
1021 * Fix transient (ie dialog) windows being placed offscreen if the parent
1022 is close to the edge of the screen.
1023
1024 3.3-rc2:
1025 * Fixed some typos and errors in rc.xsd
1026 * Add the noStrut option to the dock (to allow maximizing windows over it),
1027 useful when it is not in the above layer.
1028 * Fix transparent terminals not updating when using ToggleDecor.
1029 * Yet more poking at the onscreen-keeping code, should now do the right
1030 thing always.
1031 * Add an option to hide disabled buttons instead of showing them as disabled.
1032 * Hopefully fixed all the remaining pango issues. The new 1.10 release also
1033 fixes shadows again.
1034 * I think the lib linking in Makefile.am is right now, please tell me if it
1035 isn't.
1036 * Added a finnish translation and some minor updates to others.
1037 * Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
1038 other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
1039
1040 3.3-rc1:
1041 * Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
1042 are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
1043 * Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
1044 breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
1045 here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
1046 to be fixed.
1047 * Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
1048 the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
1049 * Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
1050 * Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
1051 linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
1052 anyway, just move the mouse.
1053 * Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
1054 options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
1055 window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
1056 * Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
1057 I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.
1058 * Bugs 1783, 1812, 1863, 1905, 2005, 1957 fixed.

1062 * Added spanish and swedish translations
1063 * Changed "Unnamed Desktop" to "Desktop n" where n is the actual
1064 number of the desktop
1065 * Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
1066 * the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
1067 tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
1068 anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
1069 edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
1070 * Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
1071 * Added probably too many options and actions
1072 * ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
1073 doesn't save it to the config
1074 * keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
1075 toggleDecorations
1076 * added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
1077 move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
1078 popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
1079 Nonpixel (this is the default).
1080 * Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
1081 edge, note that the default is true
1082 * warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
1083 to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
1084 cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
1085 * Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
1086 change desktops and have followMouse on)
1087 * Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
1088 firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
1089 grid to start in the middle.
1090 * I think that was everything, have fun
1091
1092 3.1:

1094 * Closed bug #1060 (modal unfocused window should be placed above
1095 focused parent)

1100 * Closed bug #1019 (Strange behavior with focus:followMouse and
1101 RaiseLower action)

1103 sprintf)
1104 * Closed bug #1001 (gimp crashes openbox)
1105 * Closed bug #1005 (import -frame leaves windows in a temporary
1106 "on top" state)
1107 * Closed bug #881 (Programs started with X become zombies upon
1108 shutdown.)
1109 * Closed bug #1025 (desktopnext/previous and desktopleft/right dont

1186 default bindings) and selecting the Always on top Layer
1187 * Closed bug #907 (window focus is not properly indicated)
