+ Google Chrome).
+ * Make openbox-session to respect the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable.

+ unmanaged.
+ * Show the desktop switch on every monitor in xinerama.
+ * Fix interpretation of struts in xinerama where the screens have different
+ sizes.
+ * Add "next" and "prev" as possible <monitor> targets in the moveto and
+ resizeto actions.
+ * Allow escaping the _ used to mark the shortcut character in menu labels.
+ You can now change the (first) _ in a label to __, this will be displayed
+ as a single underscore. The rest of the _ in the string will be unaffected,
+ so only double the first one.
+ * Only replace ~ with the home directory when it is preceded by whitespace or
+ is at the start of the string, and when it is followed by a space, slash, or
+ the end of the string. This is implemented with GRegex, and so the required
+ glib version has been bumped to 2.14.

+
+3.4.8-rc1:
+ * Updated translations: Basque, Catalan, Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Russian.

+ * Correct a 64-bit issue related to comparing timestamps.
+ * There is a sneaky sentence right at the end of a big paragraph in the
+ wm-spec document that says windows mapping with _NET_WM_USER_TIME=0 should
+ not be focused initially, honor this request.
+ * When moving a window to another desktop with following on, bring the
+ window's helper windows (for example gimp image windows with the toolbox
+ set to utility window).
+ * Change the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages again, if they originate from the
+ app and the window is on another desktop, just set the demands_attention
+ flag. If the event came from the user (ie pager/panel), then the window
+ is still moved to the current desktop.
+
+3.4.7.2:
+ * The system I used to generate the dist tarball didn't have the
+ docbook-to-man command so the manpages were empty.
+
+3.4.7.1:
+ * Not to be outdone by the cairo team, I introduced a bug in the last release
+ which made resizing not give any feedback. This is now fixed.
+
+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

+ 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.

+ bindings on the fly
+ * Fix focus moving incorrectly sometimes with focus under mouse enabled

+ * 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

+ a fixed position on screen, rather than relative to the window being
+ moved or resized

+ 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

+ similar to in 3.4.2, but shrinking to edges as well
+ * Move the Send To and Layers submenus to the top of the client menu
