146 * Only replace ~ with the home directory when it is preceded by whitespace or
147 is at the start of the string, and when it is followed by a space, slash, or

161 * When moving a window to another desktop with following on, bring the
162 window's helper windows (for example gimp image windows with the toolbox
163 set to utility window).
164 * Change the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages again, if they originate from the
165 app and the window is on another desktop, just set the demands_attention
166 flag. If the event came from the user (ie pager/panel), then the window
167 is still moved to the current desktop.
170 * The system I used to generate the dist tarball didn't have the
171 docbook-to-man command so the manpages were empty.
174 * Not to be outdone by the cairo team, I introduced a bug in the last release
175 which made resizing not give any feedback. This is now fixed.

182 * Add an example of the "force" option for the per-app placement options to
183 the default rc.xml file
184 * Add a new xdg-autostart script. This will eventually end up in the PyXDG
185 distribution hopefully, but it is included in Openbox for now. This script
186 runs things based on the freedesktop.org autostart specification. You can
187 have it run GNOME, KDE, ROX, or XFCE specific things if you want. The
188 new default system-wide autostart.sh script runs it automatically
189 * Update the default menu.xml to include a lot of common apps
190 * Fix white font shadows (negative shadowtint)

199 to bring the window to the current desktop instead. This is the industry
201 * Use the pretty new openbox.png icon as the default window icon
202 * Allow matching per-application rules to windows by their window type
203 (normal, dialog, splash, etc). The default rc.xml has more details
204 * Add new Openbox-themed prompt windows. Use these prompt windows to ask
205 before killing off windows that aren't responding. This also means we
206 don't need to ping every window constantly forever
207 * Add a new <prompt> option to the Execute action. If this is set to a
208 string, a dialog will be shown with that string in it and "yes"/"no"
209 buttons. The command to be executed will only be run if the user selects
211 * Add a new <prompt> option to the Exit action, which is a boolean (not a
212 string). When true, Openbox will show a dialog confirming if you want to
213 exit. The default is to show the prompt
214 * Reduce Openbox's memory footprint and speed up rendering through the use
215 of a new icon cache, so that Openbox only needs to keep 1 copy of an icon
216 when 100 different windows share it
217 * Make Openbox menus have the "menu type" hint for compositors to see and use
218 * Fix the MoveResizeTo action for negative coords (opposite edges)

225 * Add new theme options for menu line separators: menu.separator.color,
226 menu.separator.width, menu.separator.padding.width,
227 menu.separator.padding.height

229 when gnome-settings-daemon is not present to have GTK apps inherit settings
230 from the XFCE configuration tools
231 * Make the send-to-desktop menu in the client-menu indicate which is the current
232 desktop for omnipresent windows, and don't close it if just toggling
233 omni-presence when ctrl-clicking
234 * Add a new SessionLogout action that logs out through the session manager,
235 when running Openbox within a session manager such as within an
236 GNOME/Openbox or KDE/Openbox session. The action includes a <prompt>
237 option which is similar to the Exit action's
238 * Add a new gdm-control command that lets you control gdm from within an X
239 session. The gdm-control lets you change GDM's behaviour for when you end
240 the current session. For instance, you can tell GDM to reboot, and
241 then immediately log out of the current session, and the computer will be
243 * Show an information dialog when an error occurs for Openbox, such as when
244 the Execute action fails or when XML syntax errors are present in the

259 * Fix for the <focusLast> behavior
260 * Treat modal direct children as one window with their parent consistently

280 * Ignore mouse clicks that are made on override-redirect (unmanaged) windows
281 * When opening a menu with a key binding, don't use the key binding to run
282 something in the menu

284 to place new windows on the active monitor, or the monitor where the mouse
285 is, instead of on any monitor (for xinerama multihead setups)
286 * Add options for placing the window move/resize coordinate popup window in

295 in normal ways (fixes new GNOME session logout dialogs)
296 * Fix bug with resizing corners on certain parts of the window frame
297 * Ping applications to tell when they are running or have become frozen.
298 Show a [Not Responding] message in the title bar of windows which are
300 * When closing a window which is [Not Responding], kill the window's process
301 if it is running on the same machine as Openbox. Otherwise, just
303 the window from the X display. A second attempt to close a [Not
305 window will kill it forcefully (kill -9).
306 * Fixes for internal timers
307 * Add a <wmclass> option for the execute action's startup-notification. This
308 lets you tell Openbox that the application will map a window with the

311 * Fix for empty dock taking up space onscreen after a reconfigure
312 * Reduce Openbox's additional memory footprint per-window and per-menu
313 * Faster horizontal gradient rendering

379 * Don't show the client border for undecorated windows when keepBorder is on,
380 just the outer border

384 underMouse is enabled
385 * Don't move focus when the window under the pointer iconifies unless

389 * Don't XUngrabKeyboard unless we need to
390 * Correct calculations for the menu header width, so that they are not
391 ellisized unnecessarily

423 * Removed deprecated actions:
424 - ShowDesktop, UnshowDesktop (Use ToggleShowDesktop)

430 * Add actions to add/remove the last desktop in the client list menus
431 * Use startup notification when launching ObConf in the default root menu
432 * Remove the desktop switching dialog, as it confuses people and they don't

434 incarnation may return in the future.
435 * Add optional <finalactions> option for NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
436 DirectionalFocus*, and DirectionalTarget* actions
437 * Don't focus new helper windows unless they are alone in their group. This
439 * Fancy keyboard window moving:
440 - Shift-arrow will move the window to the next edge
441 - Control-arrow will move the window by only 1 pixel
442 - Arrow will move the window by a larger number of pixels
443 * Fancy keyboard window resizing:
444 - The first arrow will choose an edge to resize (then you can grow or
445 shrink the window on that edge)
446 - Hitting an arrow perpendicular to your selected edge will choose a
447 different edge to resize
448 - Shift-arrow will grow/shrink the window to the next edge
449 - Control arrow will grow/shrink the window by only 1 pixel
450 - Arrow will grow/shrink the window by a larger number of pixel
451 * Timeout when synchronously resizing a window so you can still resize busy
452 or dead application windows
453 * Let you specify keyboard shortcuts in your root menus with _. Such as
454 label="XTe_rm" would make 'r' the shortcut key.
455 * Fixes for placing windows with per-app settings:
456 - you can now place windows relative to any edge of the screen instead of
457 only the top left. (-0 uses the far edge, +0 uses the near edge. You can

466 and 1 direct transient for one of the group transients.
467 * Don't include child/parent windows in tests for being occluded or occluding
468 other windows, since you can't raise/lower above/below them. This fixes
469 the raiselower action for windows which have children.
470 * Reduce the size of the middle gradient in splitvertical gradients. This
471 makes the split harder than it was in 3.4.2
472 * Don't include debian/ dir in releases
473 * Add resize bindings for the edges to the default hardcoded bindings
474 * Fix focus cycle indicator positioning for some windows (i.e. OpenOffice)

476 you move a window to any edge of any screen.
477 * Make actions that look for edges include the dock's edges (e.g. MoveToEdge)
478 * New preferred option for the Execute action is <command> instead of

486 programs (getting MapNotify before you are visible)
487 * Handle case gracefully when ConfigureRequent for restacking specifies
488 a siblig which we aren't managing
489 * Use KeyRelease to run things from Openbox menus, so that the release

857 from other apps like pagers
858 * Take advantage of ksmserver (KDE Session Manager) features
859 * KDE/Openbox and GNOME/Openbox options for display manager GDM/KDM. Use
860 openbox-gnome-session and openbox-kde-session to run a GNOME or KDE
861 session with Openbox as the window manager.
862 * Titlebar buttons autohide when hiding won't move other buttons (removed
863 the hideDisabled option from config file)
864 * Support user time window hint, which is good for laptops power usage

869 * Let you move maximized windows between Xinerama monitors
870 * Improve application awareness of focus, e.g. Kopete and Firefox, so they

995 * Option middle for menus that make submenus be centered instead of aligned
996 by the top edge to the parent entry.
997 * Fix transient (ie dialog) windows being placed offscreen if the parent
998 is close to the edge of the screen.
1001 * Fixed some typos and errors in rc.xsd
1002 * Add the noStrut option to the dock (to allow maximizing windows over it),
1003 useful when it is not in the above layer.
1004 * Fix transparent terminals not updating when using ToggleDecor.
1005 * Yet more poking at the onscreen-keeping code, should now do the right
1007 * Add an option to hide disabled buttons instead of showing them as disabled.
1008 * Hopefully fixed all the remaining pango issues. The new 1.10 release also
1009 fixes shadows again.
1010 * I think the lib linking in Makefile.am is right now, please tell me if it
1012 * Added a finnish translation and some minor updates to others.
1013 * Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
1014 other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
1017 * Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
1018 are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
1019 * Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
1020 breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
1021 here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
1023 * Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
1024 the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
1025 * Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
1026 * Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
1027 linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
1028 anyway, just move the mouse.
1029 * Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
1030 options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
1031 window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
1032 * Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
1033 I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.
1034 * Bugs 1783, 1812, 1863, 1905, 2005, 1957 fixed.
1035 * Some translations added. (ca, no, pl, ru, fr)
1038 * Added spanish and swedish translations
1039 * Changed "Unnamed Desktop" to "Desktop n" where n is the actual
1040 number of the desktop
1041 * Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
1042 * the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
1043 tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
1044 anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
1045 edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
1046 * Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
1047 * Added probably too many options and actions
1048 * ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
1049 doesn't save it to the config
1050 * keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
1052 * added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
1053 move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
1054 popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
1055 Nonpixel (this is the default).
1056 * Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
1057 edge, note that the default is true
1058 * warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
1059 to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
1060 cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
1061 * Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
1062 change desktops and have followMouse on)
1063 * Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
1064 firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
1065 grid to start in the middle.
1066 * I think that was everything, have fun
1069 * Added japanese translation (bug #1029)

1159 side effect that panels which do not set the ABOVE state (most panels
1160 curerntly around) will no longer be kept always on top. You can set the
