40 config file option, under the "menu" section.
41 * Fixed bug #4464 (Typo in openbox-gnome-session script).

102 session manager and ask it to exit if so, or simply kill Openbox if not.
103 * Further tweaks to the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message handling. Use the same
104 logic for focus-stealing as is used when mapping a new window.
105 * Don't go out of our way any more to prevent focus from moving while the

125 * Add "next" and "prev" as possible <monitor> targets in the moveto and
127 * Allow escaping the _ used to mark the shortcut character in menu labels.

129 as a single underscore. The rest of the _ in the string will be unaffected,
130 so only double the first one.
131 * Only replace ~ with the home directory when it is preceded by whitespace or
132 is at the start of the string, and when it is followed by a space, slash, or
133 the end of the string. This is implemented with GRegex, and so the required

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

166 * Partially updated Spanish translation
167 * Add an example of the "force" option for the per-app placement options to
168 the default rc.xml file
169 * Add a new xdg-autostart script. This will eventually end up in the PyXDG
170 distribution hopefully, but it is included in Openbox for now. This script
171 runs things based on the freedesktop.org autostart specification. You can
172 have it run GNOME, KDE, ROX, or XFCE specific things if you want. The
173 new default system-wide autostart.sh script runs it automatically
174 * Update the default menu.xml to include a lot of common apps
175 * Fix white font shadows (negative shadowtint)
176 * Update the autostart.sh to find gnome-settings-daemon correctly, as the

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

209 * Fix some off-by-one bugs with the edge growing/shrinking code
210 * Add new theme options for menu line separators: menu.separator.color,
211 menu.separator.width, menu.separator.padding.width,
212 menu.separator.padding.height
213 * Add xfce-mcs-manager to the default autostart.sh, and run it automatically
214 when gnome-settings-daemon is not present to have GTK apps inherit settings
215 from the XFCE configuration tools
216 * Make the send-to-desktop menu in the client-menu indicate which is the current
217 desktop for omnipresent windows, and don't close it if just toggling
218 omni-presence when ctrl-clicking
219 * Add a new SessionLogout action that logs out through the session manager,
220 when running Openbox within a session manager such as within an
221 GNOME/Openbox or KDE/Openbox session. The action includes a <prompt>
222 option which is similar to the Exit action's
223 * Add a new gdm-control command that lets you control gdm from within an X
224 session. The gdm-control lets you change GDM's behaviour for when you end
225 the current session. For instance, you can tell GDM to reboot, and
226 then immediately log out of the current session, and the computer will be
228 * Show an information dialog when an error occurs for Openbox, such as when
229 the Execute action fails or when XML syntax errors are present in the

232 on top of the ones on its left.
235 * Updated Clearlooks theme

242 the "Manage Desktops" section appearing in the combined-client-list-menu
243 * Fix for menu headers showing the wrong text
244 * Fix for the <focusLast> behavior
245 * Treat modal direct children as one window with their parent consistently

264 * Improve the LastDesktop action to not remember desktops you skipped across
265 * Ignore mouse clicks that are made on override-redirect (unmanaged) windows
266 * When opening a menu with a key binding, don't use the key binding to run
267 something in the menu

269 to place new windows on the active monitor, or the monitor where the mouse
270 is, instead of on any monitor (for xinerama multihead setups)
271 * Add options for placing the window move/resize coordinate popup window in
272 a fixed position on screen, rather than relative to the window being

280 in normal ways (fixes new GNOME session logout dialogs)
281 * Fix bug with resizing corners on certain parts of the window frame
282 * Ping applications to tell when they are running or have become frozen.
283 Show a [Not Responding] message in the title bar of windows which are
285 * When closing a window which is [Not Responding], kill the window's process
286 if it is running on the same machine as Openbox. Otherwise, just
288 the window from the X display. A second attempt to close a [Not
290 window will kill it forcefully (kill -9).
291 * Fixes for internal timers
292 * Add a <wmclass> option for the execute action's startup-notification. This
293 lets you tell Openbox that the application will map a window with the
294 specified class - for applications that do not support startup-notification
296 * Fix for empty dock taking up space onscreen after a reconfigure
297 * Reduce Openbox's additional memory footprint per-window and per-menu
298 * Faster horizontal gradient rendering

321 * Fix so that if you select an omnipresent window on another desktop in the
322 client list menus, it will go to that desktop
323 * Make the GrowToEdge action shrink once there is no more room to grow,

364 * Don't show the client border for undecorated windows when keepBorder is on,
365 just the outer border
366 * Some improvements in the smart placement to help it find a place more
367 often. This needs more work still.
368 * Don't focus windows that appear under the mouse in mouse-focus mode unless
369 underMouse is enabled
370 * Don't move focus when the window under the pointer iconifies unless
371 underMouse is enabled
372 * Respect min/max window sizes when a window is fullscreened or maximized.
373 This fixes problems experienced with maximizing vnc windows
374 * Don't XUngrabKeyboard unless we need to
375 * Correct calculations for the menu header width, so that they are not
376 ellisized unnecessarily
377 * Advanced support for partial struts. When you maximize a window it will

402 * Fix Onyx themes - fade out disabled buttons
403 * Don't auto-resize windows to fit on screen if they are UserSpecified
405 * Don't activate windows which raise themselves anymore. It was a nice
406 thought, but it caused too much problems
407 * Rewrite of the actions subsystem
408 * Removed deprecated actions:
409 - ShowDesktop, UnshowDesktop (Use ToggleShowDesktop)

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

419 incarnation may return in the future.
420 * Add optional <finalactions> option for NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
421 DirectionalFocus*, and DirectionalTarget* actions
422 * Don't focus new helper windows unless they are alone in their group. This
424 * Fancy keyboard window moving:
425 - Shift-arrow will move the window to the next edge
426 - Control-arrow will move the window by only 1 pixel
427 - Arrow will move the window by a larger number of pixels
428 * Fancy keyboard window resizing:
429 - The first arrow will choose an edge to resize (then you can grow or
430 shrink the window on that edge)
431 - Hitting an arrow perpendicular to your selected edge will choose a
432 different edge to resize
433 - Shift-arrow will grow/shrink the window to the next edge
434 - Control arrow will grow/shrink the window by only 1 pixel
435 - Arrow will grow/shrink the window by a larger number of pixel
436 * Timeout when synchronously resizing a window so you can still resize busy
437 or dead application windows
438 * Let you specify keyboard shortcuts in your root menus with _. Such as
439 label="XTe_rm" would make 'r' the shortcut key.
440 * Fixes for placing windows with per-app settings:
441 - you can now place windows relative to any edge of the screen instead of
442 only the top left. (-0 uses the far edge, +0 uses the near edge. You can
443 use --0 and +-0 to specify negative numbers.)
444 - fix bug with windows being placed far off-screen occasionally

449 * Fix for transient windows in groups with transient windows of the group

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

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

465 * Fix for moving windows partially offsceen causing them to jump far away
466 * Fix for windows which are not on any monitor, to keep them on screen
468 * Require libstartupnotification 0.8 in configure (we use stuff that was not

471 programs (getting MapNotify before you are visible)
472 * Handle case gracefully when ConfigureRequent for restacking specifies
473 a siblig which we aren't managing
474 * Use KeyRelease to run things from Openbox menus, so that the release
475 does not go to the focused window (causing the new window to not get

491 * Fix for gtk apps trying to get focus - mostly nullify focus stealing
492 prevention (Fixes Tilda)
493 * Send ConfigureNotify always on ConfigureRequest (Previous emacs fix
494 makes this possible now)
495 * Fix RelativeResize action for right/bottom edges
496 * Remove SCIM from the default autostart.sh - it has caused problems with
497 some (buggy) panels, such as pypanel
498 * Fix the titlebar changing to non-focused when iconifying a window with
500 * Use the new osd theme hints for the dock, rather than the titlebar hints
501 * Fix rare crash when menu is hidden while browsing it

720 * Save the desktop layout and names in the session, and restore them on next

839 * Session support for old clients that do not use the session management
841 * Desktop setup is only changed on startup, so as to not overwrite settings
842 from other apps like pagers
843 * Take advantage of ksmserver (KDE Session Manager) features
844 * KDE/Openbox and GNOME/Openbox options for display manager GDM/KDM. Use
845 openbox-gnome-session and openbox-kde-session to run a GNOME or KDE
846 session with Openbox as the window manager.
847 * Titlebar buttons autohide when hiding won't move other buttons (removed
848 the hideDisabled option from config file)
849 * Support user time window hint, which is good for laptops power usage

852 * Don't show handles on windows that cant resize for more extreme visual
854 * Let you move maximized windows between Xinerama monitors
855 * Improve application awareness of focus, e.g. Kopete and Firefox, so they

998 * Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
999 other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
1002 * Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
1003 are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
1004 * Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
1005 breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
1006 here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
1008 * Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
1009 the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
1010 * Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
1011 * Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
1012 linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
1013 anyway, just move the mouse.
1014 * Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
1015 options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
1016 window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
1017 * Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
1018 I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.
1019 * Bugs 1783, 1812, 1863, 1905, 2005, 1957 fixed.
1020 * Some translations added. (ca, no, pl, ru, fr)
1023 * Added spanish and swedish translations
1024 * Changed "Unnamed Desktop" to "Desktop n" where n is the actual
1025 number of the desktop
1026 * Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
1027 * the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
1028 tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
1029 anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
1030 edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
1031 * Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
1032 * Added probably too many options and actions
1033 * ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
1034 doesn't save it to the config
1035 * keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
1037 * added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
1038 move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
1039 popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
1040 Nonpixel (this is the default).
1041 * Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
1042 edge, note that the default is true
1043 * warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
1044 to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
1045 cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
1046 * Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
1047 change desktops and have followMouse on)
1048 * Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
1049 firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
1050 grid to start in the middle.
1051 * I think that was everything, have fun
