-Changelog for Openbox:
-
-2.0.0:
- * make reconfigure reset the timeout values for
- windows, the slit, and the toolbar, so that a new
- autoRaiseDelay value will take effect without having
- to restart. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * fix for loading the autoRaiseDelay value. (Ben Jansens)
-
-1.2.0:
- * fix off-by-one window resizing bug. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * fix for slit menu not using the correct style when
- the style changed. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * changed the menu from an rcfile option to a command-
- line option. use 'openbox -menu <file>' to select an
- alternate menu. The default menu used is
- ~/.openbox/menu. If the default, or the file you
- specify does not exist, the global menu is tried.
- And if the global menu also does not exist, a
- simple, internal menu is used instead. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * new version of bsetroot ported from blackbox cvs
- with intent to support Eterm/Esetroot. (Sean Perry)
-
- * make bsetroot behave properly with Eterm/Esetroot. (Ben Jansens)

- closes, and focusLastWindow is enabled. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * bsetroot supports transparent applications by

-
-1.0.0:
- * maximizing windows takes the slit into account as
- well as the toolbar when 'Full Maximization' is off (Ben Jansens)
-
- * better handling of the rc file and its configuration
- options. The file is written each time an option in
- the file is changed, instead of being written at
- shutdown. This means that you can edit the file by
- hand while in Openbox, and then choose reconfig or
- restart to have it use the new rc file. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * added a runtime option for hiding the toolbar. (Scott Moynes)
-

- bottom for their size instead for their unshaded
- size. (Ben Jansens)

- hitting the numlock or scroll lock keys. (Scott Moynes)
-
- * window menu is inconsistant in that other menus
- ignore mouse button 2, but it did not, because of
- the maximize option. Now all options in the window
- menu ignore mouse button 2 to be consistant. (Scott Moynes)
-
- * changed the default configuration file from
- ~/.blackboxrc to ~/.openbox/rc. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * ignore fully-maximized windows when smart
- placing windows. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * windows snaps to both sides of the screen's edge,
- i.e. they have double the snapping area, half
- inside and half outside the visible screen. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * a rootCommand per-screen in the rc file which
- will override the rootCommand in styles for that
- screen. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * rolling the mouse wheel on a window's title bar
- will shade/unshade the window. rolling the mouse
- wheel on the root window will change workspaces (John Kennis, Ben Jansens)
-
- * new button press/release code in Window class,
- gives window buttons more consistent behavior. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * custom ordering of windows' titlebar elements
- with a titlebarLayout option added to the
- rc file (MrFab, Ben Jansens)
-
- * when resizing a window in non-opaque mode, fixed
- the drawn rectangle so that it is drawn entirely
- within the bounds of the new window. it used to
- be drawn in the area of the window + 1. (Ben Jansens)
-

- label when it is being edited. The text color
- being used was that of the active window label,
- but the background remained that of the toolbar.
- Changed to use the background of the active
- window label. (Ben Jansens)
-
- * added windowZones to the rc file specifying
- the number of zones to divide a window into for
- alt-drag resizing, and code to resize windows
- with the number of zones specified. (Nicolas Delon, Ben Jansens)

+ * 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

+ * 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

+ 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.

+ 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

+ 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

+ 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

+3.3.1:
+ * Fix panels getting a border with keepBorder turned on.
+ * Fix a crash in mirrorhorizontal when drawing a surface with width 1.
+
+3.3:
+ * Add a showDelay option for the dock.
+ * Fixed onscreen-keeping code which broke a bit in -rc2.
+ * Fix incorrect handling of window properties on 64 bit arches.
+ * Fix pixelsize being the same as size for pango, now it is correct.
+ * Fix drawing of icons taller than wide, eg gimp.
+ * Add a 'mirrorhorizontal' gradient, like horizontal but mirrored in the
+ center and 'splitvertical' which is like vertical but nonlinear in a fancy
+ way.
+ * Translations for de, hr and zh_TW added.
+ * Add initial per-app settings support.
+ * Fix some outstanding issues with 64-bit support.
+ * Add an optional delay for displaying submenus so you can move the mouse
+ over some entries without flashing each submenu.
+ * Plug some minor memleaks and fix minor bugs.
+ * Changed algorithm for downscaling window icons.
+ * New themes!
+ * Disable support for libstartup-notification by default, it doesn't seem
+ to work well.
+ * Allow disabling of duplicate window numbering by option titleNumber in
+ theme section.
+ * Add moverelative and resizerelative actions.
+ * Option middle for menus that make submenus be centered instead of aligned
+ by the top edge to the parent entry.
+ * Fix transient (ie dialog) windows being placed offscreen if the parent
+ is close to the edge of the screen.
+
+3.3-rc2:
+ * Fixed some typos and errors in rc.xsd
+ * Add the noStrut option to the dock (to allow maximizing windows over it),
+ useful when it is not in the above layer.
+ * Fix transparent terminals not updating when using ToggleDecor.
+ * Yet more poking at the onscreen-keeping code, should now do the right
+ thing always.
+ * Add an option to hide disabled buttons instead of showing them as disabled.
+ * Hopefully fixed all the remaining pango issues. The new 1.10 release also
+ fixes shadows again.
+ * I think the lib linking in Makefile.am is right now, please tell me if it
+ isn't.
+ * Added a finnish translation and some minor updates to others.
+ * Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
+ other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
+
+3.3-rc1:
+ * Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
+ are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
+ * Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
+ breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
+ here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
+ to be fixed.
+ * Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
+ the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
+ * Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
+ * Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
+ linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
+ anyway, just move the mouse.
+ * Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
+ options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
+ window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
+ * Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
+ I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.
+ * Bugs 1783, 1812, 1863, 1905, 2005, 1957 fixed.
+ * Some translations added. (ca, no, pl, ru, fr)
+
+3.2:
+ * Added spanish and swedish translations
+ * Changed "Unnamed Desktop" to "Desktop n" where n is the actual
+ number of the desktop
+ * Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
+ * the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
+ tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
+ anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
+ edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
+ * Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
+ * Added probably too many options and actions
+ * ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
+ doesn't save it to the config
+ * keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
+ toggleDecorations
+ * added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
+ move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
+ popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
+ Nonpixel (this is the default).
+ * Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
+ edge, note that the default is true
+ * warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
+ to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
+ cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
+ * Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
+ change desktops and have followMouse on)
+ * Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
+ firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
+ grid to start in the middle.
+ * I think that was everything, have fun
+
