+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

+ * 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

+ resized inside of the struts (Fixes Acroread)

+ of presses
+

+ 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,
* 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
