+3.4.7-pre2:
+ * Updated Czech, Chinese, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish, Brasilian
+ Portuguese, Japanese and Portuguese translations
+ * 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
+ * Speed improvements also for Horizonal and Pyramid gradients
+ * Add new theme options, menu.overlap.x and menu.overlap.y options, that let
+ you independently control the horizontal and vertical position of submenus
+ * Change _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages to not change the current desktop, but
+ 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 now 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 actions so that key presses will not be lost between running the
+ ShowMenu action and the menu appearing
+ * 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
+ * Show an information dialog when there are XML syntax errors in the Openbox
+ configuration files
+
+3.4.6.1:
+ * Updated Clearlooks theme
+ * Add the force="yes/no" option for the per-app settings' <position> tag
+ * Raise and focus modal children and their direct parents together, improved
+ usability with direct modal transient windows
+ * Fix crash when using <raise> for NextWindow and there are no windows
+ to move focus to
+ * Add the <manageDesktops> option in the rc.xml <menu> section, which toggles
+ the "Manage Desktops" section appearing in the combined-client-list-menu
+ * Fix for menu headers showing the wrong text
+ * Fix for the <focusLast> behavior
+ * Treat modal direct children as one window with their parent consistently
+
+3.4.6:
+ * Added Basque translation
+ * Updated French, Vietnamese German, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Portuguese,
+ Brasilian Portuguese, Norwegian, and Finnish translations
+ * New Clearlooks theme, updated by David Barr
+ * Updated the previous Clearlooks theme, and renamed it to Clearlooks-3.4
+ * Allow dialog type windows to go fullscreen (Fixes Kpdf)
+ * Remove the extraneous top border for undecorated windows while maximized
+ * Fixes for keyboard modifiers (Alt-tab dialog getting stuck on screen for
+ some users)
+ * Automatically catch changes to the keyboard map and reconfigure the key
+ bindings on the fly
+ * Fix focus moving incorrectly sometimes with focus under mouse enabled
+ * Make default configuration focus the desktop when you right click
+ * Add the <bar> and <raise> options for all window cycling actions, allowing
+ you to have your target window temporarily raised above all others, and to
+ turn the focus target indicator bar off
+ * Improve the LastDesktop action to not remember desktops you skipped across
+ * 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
+ * Add a <monitor> option for window placement, which gives you the option
+ to place new windows on the active monitor, or the monitor where the mouse
+ is, instead of on any monitor (for xinerama multihead setups)
+ * Add options for placing the window move/resize coordinate popup window in
+ a fixed position on screen, rather than relative to the window being
+ moved or resized
+ * Prevent the dock from auto-hiding completely offscreen if the theme has
+ 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
+ * Add a --config-file command line option, to specify an alternate
+ configuration file path
+
+3.4.5:
+ * Added Hungarian translation
+ * Updated Finnish, Russian, German and French translations
+ * Fixed some very minor memory leaks
+ * Hide the desktop popup when showing the focus popup

+ * Add --exit to exit the currently running openbox instance
+
+3.4.4:
+ * Updated Traditional Chinese translation
+ * Updated Norwegian translation
+ * Fix for MoveToEdge skipping edges sometimes
+ * Let you specify the vertical and horizontal padding independently in themes
+ * Fix so that if you select an omnipresent window on another desktop in the
+ client list menus, it will go to that desktop
+ * Make the GrowToEdge action shrink once there is no more room to grow,
+ 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
+ * Fix race causing omnipresent windows to lose focus when switching desktops
+ very quickly
+ * Don't focus new windows on other desktops if they aren't related to the
+ currently focused window
+ * Add corner resizing areas in the inner client border (Fixes themes such
+ as Onyx)
+ * New focus stealing prevention that is smart and not intrusive and not
+ annoying
+ * Revert a small change in 3.4.3 that caused windows to be placed funny in
+ Smart placement when there was a dock or something on the side of the
+ screen
+ * Show a notification when switching desktops
+ * Fix for delayed focus-follows-mouse interrupting move/resize or menus
+ * Make screen edge warp keep warping without having the move the mouse 1
+ pixel
+ * Fix for resizing terminals in the top/left sides getting a little confused
+ * Fix to keep oldschool (Non-EWMH) fullscreen windows from being moved and
+ resized inside of the struts (Fixes Acroread)
+ * Accept the <command> option for the Restart command, similar to the Execute
+ action
+ * Don't make clicking on dock apps sometimes act like clicking on the root
+ window (Don't propogate button events up)
+ * Fix a bug introduced in 3.4.3 which caused the Windows key as a modifier
+ for bindings to not work properly
+ * Let windows skip across monitors in a Xinerama setup when using MoveToEdge
+ or Shift-arrow in an interactive move
+ * Make move and resize take the dock into account for resistance
+ * Raise new windows when it makes sense, when they aren't being focused
+ * Change default config to use click events for mouse wheel bindings instead
+ of presses
+
+3.4.3:
+ * Add Ukrainian translation
+ * Updated translations:
+ - Japanese, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Estonian, German, Portuguese,
+ Vietnamese, Finnish, Czech, Arabic, Spanish, Swedish, French
+ * Improve focus fallback - don't fallback to windows you can't focus cycle
+ (Alt-Tab) to
+ * Don't show the client border for undecorated windows when keepBorder is on,
+ just the outer border
+ * Some improvements in the smart placement to help it find a place more
+ often. This needs more work still.
+ * Don't focus windows that appear under the mouse in mouse-focus mode unless
+ underMouse is enabled
+ * Don't move focus when the window under the pointer iconifies unless
+ underMouse is enabled
+ * Respect min/max window sizes when a window is fullscreened or maximized.
+ This fixes problems experienced with maximizing vnc windows
+ * Don't XUngrabKeyboard unless we need to
+ * Correct calculations for the menu header width, so that they are not
+ ellisized unnecessarily
+ * Advanced support for partial struts. When you maximize a window it will
+ now only use the struts it needs to. This can greatly improve
+ xinerama functionality.
+ * Fixes for how the dock is placed in certain positions on screen (off by 1
+ errors)
+ * New default bindings:
+ - don't unshade when clicking on the titlebar
+ - raise when unshading with the scrollwheel

+ * Optimize splitvertical gradients - no more malloc/free during render
+ * Let the theme specify all colors for a splitvertical gradient with the new
+ .splitTo theme elements

+ the titlebar.
+ * Don't resist against desklet windows (below layer + skip taskbar)
+ * New actions for dynamically adjusting your desktop workspaces:
+ - AddDesktopLast, RemoveDesktopLast
+ - AddDesktopCurrent, RemoveDestopCurrent
+ * New <center> option for smart placement (default is on)
+ * Fix MoveToCenter in Xinerama (TwinView) setups
+ * Let you lower a window without lowering its children or siblings
+ * Don't set the default Openbox icon on child windows, let them inherit the
+ icon from their parents
+ * Fix Onyx themes - fade out disabled buttons
+ * Don't auto-resize windows to fit on screen if they are UserSpecified
+ Size or Position
+ * Don't activate windows which raise themselves anymore. It was a nice
+ thought, but it caused too much problems
+ * Rewrite of the actions subsystem
+ * Removed deprecated actions:
+ - ShowDesktop, UnshowDesktop (Use ToggleShowDesktop)
+ - ResizeRelativeVert, ResizeRelativeHorz (Use ResizeRelative)
+ * Combined the MoveFromEdge* actions with MoveToEdge* actions, and removed
+ the MoveFromEdge* action names.

+ screen (added the <screenEdgeWarpTime> option for this)
+ * Add actions to add/remove the last desktop in the client list menus
+ * Use startup notification when launching ObConf in the default root menu
+ * Remove the desktop switching dialog, as it confuses people and they don't
+ know how to turn it off to switch desktops instantly. Some other
+ incarnation may return in the future.
+ * Add optional <finalactions> option for NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
+ DirectionalFocus*, and DirectionalTarget* actions
+ * Don't focus new helper windows unless they are alone in their group. This
+ fixes gucharmap
+ * Fancy keyboard window moving:
+ - Shift-arrow will move the window to the next edge
+ - Control-arrow will move the window by only 1 pixel
+ - Arrow will move the window by a larger number of pixels
+ * Fancy keyboard window resizing:
+ - The first arrow will choose an edge to resize (then you can grow or
+ shrink the window on that edge)
+ - Hitting an arrow perpendicular to your selected edge will choose a
+ different edge to resize
+ - Shift-arrow will grow/shrink the window to the next edge
+ - Control arrow will grow/shrink the window by only 1 pixel
+ - Arrow will grow/shrink the window by a larger number of pixel
+ * Timeout when synchronously resizing a window so you can still resize busy
+ or dead application windows
+ * Let you specify keyboard shortcuts in your root menus with _. Such as
+ label="XTe_rm" would make 'r' the shortcut key.
+ * Fixes for placing windows with per-app settings:
+ - you can now place windows relative to any edge of the screen instead of
+ only the top left. (-0 uses the far edge, +0 uses the near edge. You can
+ use --0 and +-0 to specify negative numbers.)
+ - fix bug with windows being placed far off-screen occasionally
+ - allow you to place windows partially outside of the screen
+ - let per-app settings override program-specified positions (but not if it
+ is user-specified)
+ * Add user-specified margins to the configuration file
+ * Fix for transient windows in groups with transient windows of the group
+ transients. That wasn't supposed to be legible. i.e. 2 group transients
+ and 1 direct transient for one of the group transients.
+ * Don't include child/parent windows in tests for being occluded or occluding
+ other windows, since you can't raise/lower above/below them. This fixes
+ the raiselower action for windows which have children.
+ * Reduce the size of the middle gradient in splitvertical gradients. This
+ makes the split harder than it was in 3.4.2
+ * Don't include debian/ dir in releases
+ * Add resize bindings for the edges to the default hardcoded bindings
+ * Fix focus cycle indicator positioning for some windows (i.e. OpenOffice)
+ * Add the MoveResizeTo action. This is very xinerama aware! It also lets
+ you move a window to any edge of any screen.
+ * Make actions that look for edges include the dock's edges (e.g. MoveToEdge)
+ * New preferred option for the Execute action is <command> instead of
+ <execute> but the old one will still work.
+ * Fix for moving windows partially offsceen causing them to jump far away
+ * Fix for windows which are not on any monitor, to keep them on screen
+ partically too
+ * Require libstartupnotification 0.8 in configure (we use stuff that was not
+ around in some earlier versions)
+ * Grab the server when mapping windows to avoid race conditions in other
+ programs (getting MapNotify before you are visible)
+ * Handle case gracefully when ConfigureRequent for restacking specifies
+ a siblig which we aren't managing
+ * Use KeyRelease to run things from Openbox menus, so that the release
+ does not go to the focused window (causing the new window to not get
+ focus)
+ * Add new actions for controlling window decorations:
+ - Decorate, Undecorate
+ * Fix so that the values for per-app settings are not case sensitive
+ * Fix crash with very small windows
+ * Fix resize resistance for windows with aspect ratio limits
+ * Let you resize windows with aspect ratio limits in the vertical directions
+
+3.4.2:
+ * Add ability to set the bevel strength in themes
+ * Fix for focusLast with omnipresent windows
+ * Cache pipe menus while the menus are open
+ * Allow non-interactive directional focus key bindings
+ * Change how nested interactive key bindings work (it stays in the key chain,
+ like chroot, until you end the interactive action)
+ * Fix for gtk apps trying to get focus - mostly nullify focus stealing
+ prevention (Fixes Tilda)
+ * Send ConfigureNotify always on ConfigureRequest (Previous emacs fix
+ makes this possible now)
+ * Fix RelativeResize action for right/bottom edges
+ * Remove SCIM from the default autostart.sh - it has caused problems with
+ some (buggy) panels, such as pypanel
+ * Fix the titlebar changing to non-focused when iconifying a window with
+ animation
+ * Use the new osd theme hints for the dock, rather than the titlebar hints
+ * Fix rare crash when menu is hidden while browsing it
+ * End move/resize more cleanly when focus moves during a move/resize
+ * Don't focus new windows when browsing a menu or moving/resizing a window,
+ just flash the window instead, so that the menu/move/resize doesn't have to
+ cancel.
+
+3.4.1:
+ * Add Vietnamese translation
+ * Add Japanese translation
+ * Keep new transient windows from not getting focus when any related window
+ has focus already
+ * Change behavior of underMouse option - make focus go under the mouse when
+ no window has focus anymore, rather than to the last used window
+ * Make on-screen display dialogs (such as the Alt-Tab dialog) appear on the
+ active monitor when using Xinerama (a.k.a. TwinView)
+ * Fix for window stacking - let you lower sibling transient windows behind
+ eachother
+ * Fix directional focus actions when used without a dialog
+ * Fix race that could prevent ObConf from setting the desktop names correctly
+ * Add new theme options:
+ - window.active.button.toggled.image.color has been split into:
+ - window.active.button.toggled.unpressed.image.color
+ - window.active.button.toggled.pressed.image.color
+ - window.active.button.toggled.hover.image.color

+ - window.active.button.toggled.bg has been split into:
+ - window.active.button.toggled.unpressed.bg
+ - window.active.button.toggled.pressed.bg
+ - window.active.button.toggled.hover.bg
+ - window.inactive.button.toggled.bg has been split into:
+ - window.inactive.button.toggled.unpressed.bg
+ - window.inactive.button.toggled.pressed.bg
+ - window.inactive.button.toggled.hover.bg
+ * Add new Onyx and Onyx-Citrus themes
+ * Updated Mikachu theme using new theme options

+ middle between the upper and lower gradients
+ * Fix another emacs event storm, don't configure the window when it sets its
+ WM_NORMAL_HINTS unless we have to
+ * Fix for focus cycling to helper windows - Don't count dialogs as a sibling,
+ so they don't stop you
+ * Allow the use of negative numbers in per-app settings position to place a
+ window relative to the right/bottom edges of your monitor (taking the
+ struts (panels) into account)
+ * Fix focus moving irrationally when focusLast was off
+
3.4:

+ * Changes to how Shift/Control/CapsLock are used
* Fix focus fallback when windows are not visible (showing the desktop, or
iconic windows)
* Fix bug #3196 - Unable to alt-tab away from full-screen windows
