@heading 1.13.0 "Bolero"
@itemize @bullet

@item Bug Fixes
@itemize @minus
@item Improved KDE integration. Prevent Plasma and KRunner windows to be tiled. [Christopher Bratusek]

@end itemize
@item Build and Installation
@itemize @minus
@item Make build reproducible [Bernhard M. Wiedemann]
@itemize x
@item allow overriding @code{build-info} build time, hostname and username.
@item avoid recreating theme tarball for every single file (the old code was
erroneously recreating theme tarballs for each file contained thus calling
@code{tar} over 200 times to create 8 tarballs)
@item make @code{DOC} file reproducibly
@item other improvements to make builds reproducible
@end itemize

@item Explicitely check for @code{rep} binary, not just @code{librep-dev}. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item First check for @code{libgtk2.0-dev} then for @code{rep-gtk-dev}. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Only create session file directories for GNOME 2, KDE 4 or KDE 5 if actually
requested by user. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Makefile.in @code{distclean} target no longer utilizes debian/rules, no
longer removes finalized RPM spec file or Gentoo ebuild. [Christopher Bratusek]
@end itemize

@item Miscellaneous Changes
@itemize @minus
@item Various minor changes to the Makefiles, mostly replacing @code{gitlcean} target with
@code{distclean} target and adding @code{.PHONY} section. Also move theme tarball creation
into @code{all} target, rather than @code{install} target. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Move several modules from @code{sawfish.wm.prg} into the Sawfish Extras package
@itemize +
@item @code{diodon}
@item @code{fehlstart}
@item @code{idesk}
@item @code{nm-applet}

@item Filter out @code{Trayer} in @code{cabinet}. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Update Lumina integration. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Simplify Frame-Style README parsing. [OpenBSD patch]

@item Update Japanese translation. [Takeshi Hamasaki]

@heading 1.12.0 "The Hidden Village"
@itemize @bullet

@item Bug Fixes
@itemize @minus
@item Fixed that a focus change by pointer motion was ignored after x-cycle. [Teika Kazura]

@item Focus-mode @code{enter-exit} now ignores @code{pointer-out} event. Fixing flickering bugs with widgets like GtkComboBox, GtkCompletion or Firefox' URL-Bar. [Teika Kazura]

@item Fixed that @code{edge-flip-delay} did not work as expected. Before this fix the edge-action would always be actived when the cursor hit the edge, and @code{edge-flip-delay} would only delay the actual action. Leaving the edge before @code{edge-flip-delay} ended, would not stop the action. Now @code{edge-flip-delay} properly works when the cursor leaves the edge before @code{edge-flip-delay} ended, the action will not be executed as expected. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Better detection of transient windows during tiling [Jose A. Ortega Ruiz]
@end itemize

@item Build and Installation
@itemize @minus
@item When building Sawfish while an instance of it is running, a sawfish-managed @code{conky} instance does no longer get killed. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Fix @code{libtool} version check in @code{autogen.sh}. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Remove @code{gitclean} Makefile target, improve @code{distclean} target. [Christopher Bratusek]
@end itemize

@item New Features
@itemize @minus
@item The Tiling functions now use @code{calculate-workarea} to not overlap @code{_NET_WM_STRUT} windows like panels and others. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Let @code{window-icon-image} use @code{NET_WM_ICON} to get 16x16 icon. Also add a size-parameter in case a different one is desired. [hans1024]

@item Allow passing of extra (custom) arguments to compton. [Joshua Moller-Mara]
@end itemize

@item Miscellaneous Changes
@itemize @minus
@item Add @code{lumina-window-matchers} for better interaction of Lumina and Compton. Also filter Lumina out from @code{cabinet}. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Add double buffering of frame parts to reduce flickering while redraw of frames. [hans1024]

@item Properly filter out @code{conky} from @code{cabinet}. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Added session integration for KDE5, @code{--with-kde5session} configure flag, updated @code{sawfish.wm.integration.kde}, sawfish-kde5-session package for Debian GNU/Linux [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Restructured session file installation. Removed @code{--with-xdmsession} configure flag, the bare Sawfish session is installed always. For the remaining there's now an configure option each: @code{--with-matesession} (MATE), @code{--with-luminasession} (Lumina) and @code{--with-xfcesession} (XFCE). [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Properly uninstall all session related files upon @code{make uninstall} [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Update @code{config.sub}, @code{config.guess} and @code{install-sh} to 2016-04 [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Fix FSF address across all files [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Fix code spellings [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Rename @code{configure.in} to @code{configure.ac} [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Make build reproducible (Debian patch) [Jose M. Calhariz]

@item Honour @code{SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH} for build.h when building Debian packages (Debian patch) [Alexis Bienvenüe]

@item Add @code{Keyword} entry to @code{sawfish.desktop} (Debian patch) [Jose M. Calhariz]

@item Do not remove @code{wallpaper.jlc} compiled lisp file. It used to break Wallpaper Setter, thus it was removed. But with fixes since the first release of the Wallpaper Setter this is no longer the case, thus  the compiled file does not need to be removed anymore. (Debian patch) [Jose M. Calhariz]

@heading 1.11 "Apollo"
@itemize @bullet

@item Bug Fixes

@item Fix handling symbol-type defcustoms in sawfish-xgettext, preventing generation of new sawfish.pot. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Fixed that @code{Open Home} was shown in the root menu even if @code{filemanager-program} was unset. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item In SawfishConfig @code{x-terminal-emulator} was used to access the Sawfish info-file. For better compat with non-Debian-distributions, use @code{xterm} instead. Note that the Sawfish variable @code{xterm-program} is not accessible from SawfishConfig. [Christopher Bratusek]
@end itemize

@item New Features
@itemize @minus

@item Session scripts with xdm (and compatible) integration. [fuchur] [Christopher Bratusek]
@itemize x

@item @code{sawfish-mate-session}/@code{Sawfish/MATE} start Sawfish and then initialize MATE session.

@item @code{sawfish-kde4-session}/@code{Sawfish/KDE4} start Sawfish and then initialize KDE4 session. [note: it's still possible to select Sawfish from System Settings > Default Applications and starting KDE4 normally using Sawfish in favour of KWin]

@item @code{sawfish-xfce-session}/@code{Sawfish/XFCE} start Sawfish and then initialize XFCE session.

@item @code{sawfish-lumina-session}/@code{Sawfish/Lumina} start Sawfish and then initialize Lumina session. Also add Lumina integration module.

@item Other desktop environments:
@itemize +

@item GNOME2: set the GConf key @code{/desktop/gnome/session/required-components/windowmanager} to @code{sawfish} and start a new session.

@item LXDE: in lxsession-default-apps replace @code{openbox} with @code{sawfish}.

@item Razor Qt: in the razor configuration center > default applications enter @code{sawfish} in the corresponding field.

@item Other: no other desktop environments are officially supported as of now.
@end itemize

@item Note for Debian users: the official Sawfish Debian GNU/Linux packages for amd64/i386/armhf distributed at http://apt.nanolx.org/ now have three more packages built from the Sawfish source:
@itemize +

@item @code{sawfish-kde4-session}: install above mentioned KDE4 integration and (install if not already) kde-core (metapackage for minimal KDE4 desktop)

@item @code{sawfish-mate-session}: install above mentioned MATE integration and (install if not already) mate-desktop-environment-core (metapackage for minimal MATE desktop)

@end itemize
@end itemize

@item @code{CTWM} like interactive window placement. Previously pressing any button while interactively placing a window would place it. @code{Sawfish} now mimics @code{CTWM}s behaviour: pressing button 1 will just place the window, button 2 will allow dragging to resize the window and place it when the button releases, button 3 will place the window and attempt to fill it to the screen bottom. [Maxime Soulé]

@item New EdgeActions for when moving windows. [Christopher Bratusek]
@itemize x

@item @code{kill} Kill a window when moved to the given edge

@item @code{iconify} Iconify a window when moved to the given edge

@item @code{move-window-workspace} Move window to the workspace in the direction of moving against the edge
@end itemize

@item Separate left/right and top/bottom edges in SawfishConfig, allowing for individual actions on each edge. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Add @code{send-window-to-next-head} and @code{send-window-to-previous-head} functions for moving windows across heads. [fuchur]

@item Add @code{toggle-window-fixed-size} for toggling fixed-size on windows, also used in lock-button @code{Button3-Off}. [fuchur]

@item Add ability to move tabs around in the titlebar. [fuchur]

@item Add @code{run-application} by Sergey I. Sharybin, with several improvements and better integration into Sawfish. Also add 'Run Application' entry at the bottom of the root menu. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Add @code{sawfish.wm.prg.nm-applet}, simple auto-starter for the @code{Network Manager Applet}. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Add @code{sawfish.wm.prg.diodon}, simple auto-starter for the @code{Diodon Clipboard Manager}. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Add @code{sawfish.wm.prg.conky}, simple auto-starter for the @code{Conky System Monitor}, that allows for custom command line options to be passed. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Add @code{sawfish.wm.prg.idesk}, simple auto-starter for the @code{Idesk Desktop Icon Manager}. [Christopher Bratusek]
@end itemize

@item Miscellaneous Changes
@itemize @minus

@item Majorly improved start-up speed of StyleTab theme by locking the re-coloring of images until all configuration is loaded, so that re-coloring is only done once upon start. [fuchur]

@item In @code{sawfish.wm.prg.compton} delay compton start by 3 seconds to prevent heavy screen flickering. [fuchur]

@item Partially revert focus changes introduced in Sawfish 1.6.0 [fuchur], auto-apply window-matchers for Plasma when KDE4 is detected running, for proper user experience. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Improve @code{cabinet} window-switcher. Code-cleanup, bug fixes, blacklisting applications (mostly panels, pagers) and icon for missing window-icons. [fuchur]

@item Enable @code{shade-hover} and @code{auto-raise} in SawfishConfig, utilize them in tabbed-windowing. [fuchur]

@item Add @code{marked-cursor-shape} defcustom (used when marking windows for tabbing). [fuchur]

@item Improve icon size in StyleTab, add @code{Flat} style. Also improve speed and decrease memory usage by mirroring images [fuchur]

@item Use @code{menulibre} instead of @code{alacarte} in XFCE and MATE integration by default [fuchur]

@item Do not let @code{xfce-session} save the session (by adding @code{-f} flag in XFCE integration) [fuchur]

@item Add @code{Open Terminal} and @code{Open Browser} to the root menu (if @code{xterm-program} or @code{browser-program} are set) [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Rename @code{toggle-fixed-position} to @code{toggle-window-fixed-position} to match naming spec. [Christopher Bratusek]

@heading 1.10 "Soundtropolis"
@itemize @bullet

@item Updated or New dependencies
@itemize @minus
@item PangoX: no longer required
@end itemize

@item Bug Fixes
@itemize @minus
@item Always rebuild the list of marked windows in tabs when closing a marked window. [fuchur]

@item In @code{sawfish-config} fix the @code{make-choice-item} to properly support settings for
the @code{Crux} theme. [Vedat Hallac]

@item Only allow a window to be tabbed, if the parent window's framestyle has support for tabs.
(Note that in Sawfish different windows can have different framestyles) [fuchur]

@item @code{window-ops-menu} was still calling @code{resize-window-to-dimension} that didn't exist
anymore since Sawfish 1.7. Use @code{resize-window-prompt} instead. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Make "Sawfish Rootmenu" label an insensitive menu-item, so that clicking it while the root-menu
pops up doesn't make the menu disappear immediately. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item In SawfishConfig you can select different cursor shapes for different buttons. Some of the
definitions have been wrong and could crash Sawfish when choosing them. This is fixed now. [fuchur]

@item When a windows @code{max-width} or @code{max-height} would exceed 32767 (X11's maximum) it would
result in odd window-behaviour (for example: no maximization button), this is fixed by capping the value
at 32767. Originally reported with Firefox and Thunderbird 17.0 [Michael Panteleit]

@item Fixed grabbing key-bindings in SawfishConfig. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Fixed non-working @code{$height-content} and @code{$width-content} in the mxflat theme [Robert Zenz]

@item Fixed remembering all window properties after switching workspaces [fuchur]
@end itemize

@item New Features
@itemize @minus
@item Tiling. [Jose A. Ortega Ruiz] [Christopher Bratusek]
here are still minor hickups, but both @code{tall-tile}
and @code{col-tile} are working (see also @file{lisp/sawfish/wm/tile/readme.org}):

@code{tall-tile}: one big (master) window on the left, small windows on the right

@code{col-tile}: tile windows as columns (recommended for multi-head configurations)

@lisp

	   "C-F11" 'next-tiling)
@end lisp

@item Added full compton integration (including autostarting compton with Sawfish).
Compton is a fork of xcompmgr with many bug fixes and many improvements compared to
the original.

Using @code{sawfish-config} it is also possible to change most compton options directly
from within Sawfish. [fuchur]

@item Make @code{focus-when-mapped} window-matcher chooseable from 'never 'maybe and
'always. 'never is suggested for KDE users to be applied to Plasma in order to prevent
notification popups to take focus from currently active window (and possibly losing
keyboard input) [fuchur]

@item Completeley revised @code{resize-window-prompt}. Now display window's name and old width
(respectively old height) when prompt for new values. Shows an information, if one of the given
values is not actually a number. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item External Application modules. Those modules allow handling, setting-up and starting external
applications during a sawfish session. See @file{doc/AUTOSTART} for additional notes on them.
@itemize ++
@item @code{trayer} module. Handles a @code{trayer} (a system-tray) instance during a sawfish session.
[Christopher Bratusek]

@item @code{xmobar} module. Handles a @code{xmobar} (an on-screen, very flexible bar, monitoring
whatever you like) instance during a sawfish session. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item @code{xmodmap} module. Allows reading @file{~/.Xmodmap} on startup of Sawfish. Useful only if
using Sawfish standalone without a session-manager that already does this. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item @code{xsettingsd} module. Handles a @code{xsettingsd} (a daemon implementing XSettings to provide GTK+2
application with information like what theme to use))instance during a sawfish session. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item @code{xgamma} module. Allows changing display's gamma settings on startup of Sawfish. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item @code{fehlstart} module. Handles a @code{fehlstart} (a simple, but yet flexible application launcher)
instance during a sawfish session. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item @code{pancake} module. Handles a @code{pancake} (a simple desktop panel with pager, window-list,
taskbar, tray) instance during a sawfish session [Christopher Bratusek]
@end itemize

@item Added @code{force-tab} window-matcher, forcing a window to be tabbed. [fuchur]

@item Added @code{window-type} window-matcher. This allows you to change the @code{_NET_WM_TYPE} of a window.
Specifications explicitly state that the client (Sawfish in this case) is not allowed to do so. Still, we provide
this ability in case of bogus applications and testing purposes, it is neither desired nor required for normal work. [fuchur]

@item Added @code{tab-group-windows-hook}, triggered when changing or creating a tabgroup, returning all windows
contained in the current tabgroup. [fuchur]

@end itemize
@item Removed Features
@itemize @minus
@item Removed @code{sawfish.wm.ext.expose} in favour of much more advanced tiling-functions. [Christopher Bratusek]
@end itemize

@item Miscellaneous Changes
@itemize @minus
@item Updated @code{Elberg-tabbed} and @code{gradient-tabbed} for tab-system as of Sawfish 1.9.1 [fuchur]

@item Wallpaper setter now has an option for setting wallpaper on startup. Image widget is now more robust.
[Christopher Bratusek]

@item Improved default keymap for @code{titlebar} and @code{tabbar}. [fuchur]

@item Revived @code{decorate-transients}, @code{menus-include-shortcuts} and @code{customize-show-symbols} defcustoms.
These options are now adjustable from @code{sawfish-config} again. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Give the @code{root-window} the property @code{'WINDOW_MANAGER} on startup with value @code{sawfish}.
[Christopher Bratusek]

@item Updated @code{ru} and @code{pt_BR} translations via transifex.

@itemize @bullet

@item Bug Fixes
@itemize @minus
@item @code{dimension} window-matcher does now properly restore the window's size [Robert Zenz]

@item When destroying a window marked for tabbing, before tabbing was done, tabbing didn't
work anymore until Sawfish restarted. This is fixed now. [fuchur]

@item In @file{Makedefs.in} source @code{$(repexecdir)/rules.mk} as first, so that @code{--prefix}
and co. from @code{configure} won't get overwritten. [Allin Cottrell]

@item In @code{tabs} some minor issues have been fixed, like correct @code{raise} or @code{sticky}
tabs, and some issue with @code{move-resize} tabs. [fuchur]

@item Only allow '_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL to be marked as a tabbed window. [fuchur]
@end itemize
@item New Features
@itemize @minus
@item In tabbed-windowing it is now possible to add a whole tab-group to another tab-group, or a
single window. By default the keybinding is @code{C-Button2-Off}. [fuchur]

@item Tabs now support @code{viewport-sticky} and @code{workspace-sticky}. [fuchur]

@item Tabs now support coloring the window-title in a different color, for windows, which are
marked for tabbing. Currently only @code{StyleTab} uses this feature. [fuchur]
@end itemize
@item Miscellaneous Changes
@itemize @minus
@item In razor-qt integration module add @code{About Razor-Qt} help entry [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Replace @code{gdk_pixbuf_unref} by @code{g_object_unref} [Togan Muftuoglu]

@item Fix the address of FSF in all relevant files [Togan Muftuoglu]

@item Change cursor shape when working with tabs [fuchur]

@item Removed @code{sawfish.wm.util.marks}, now implemented in @code{sawfish.wm.tabs.tab}. [fuchur]

@item Fix debian packaging scripts for Debian/Unstable, update install-sh to 2011-01-19.21,
also remove NEWS and config.h.in upon @code{make gitclean}.[Christopher Bratusek]

@item Bug Fixes
@itemize @minus

@item When cursor-warping was enabled and user switched to a shaded window,
the cursor warped to the position of the unshaded window. This is fixed now.
[Christopher Bratusek]

@item When switching between tabbed themes from SawfishConfig, it could happens
that there were @code{gaps} in the frame. This is fixed now. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item In SawfishConfig one could only grab key-bindings, but not mouse- or mixed
mouse-key-bindings. This is fixed now. (Move mouse 20 pixels to grab a @code{Move} event).
[Christopher Bratusek]

@item SawfishConfig became useless when Sawfish restarted. This is now worked-around
by simply restarting SawfishConfig when Sawfish does. A new @code{before-restart-hook}
has been added for this purpose. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item In EdgeActions @code{HotSpot}, @code{HotMove} and @code{EdgeFlip}, it was
possible to trigger the same event multiple times at a time. This is fixed now.
[Jeremy Hankins]

@item Fixed a bug in apps-menu, failing to generate the menu, if a desktop-file contains
both Categories and the (errorneous) Category key, or only the later. [Matthew Love]

@item Fixed a bug in window-manager selection handling. Set all fields of the client
message event. This prevents bugs, where Sawfish sometimes isn't able to replace another
window-manager or acquiring the screen if no other WM is running. [Timo Korvola]

@item When making X request, we might receive and @code{select} will stuck. This is fixed now
[Michal Maruska]

@item Avoid calling Xmap for gone windows. [Michal Maruska]

@item Fixed a possible segmentation fault in @code{leave_notify} [Michal Maruska]

@item In SawfishConfig the @code{choice} widget didn't work when the choices were
numerical values. This is fixed now. [Christopher Bratusek]
@end itemize
@item Sawfish-MMC [Michal Maruska]

Sawfish-MMC was a fork of Sawfish active, while the original Sawfish was inactive
(2004-2007). Next follows a list of changes merged from Sawfish-MMC.
@itemize @minus

@item Only apply property changes if window as @code{refresh} property.

@item In the pixmap-cache append pixmaps to the age list, rather than prepending.

@item Extend @code{pixmap-cache-control} to reset and return more informations.

@item @code{pixmap-cache-images} returns all images in cache.

@item When initializing Sawfish, try to initialize XKB, too.

@item Misc: Drop unused @code{prog_name} from @file{display.c}. Call @code{XAddToSaveSet}
from a better position in the code. Mar @code{mapped_not_override_p} static. Simplified
@code{property_notify}.
@end itemize
@item EdgeAction changes [Christopher Bratusek]
@itemize @minus

@item New EdgeActions:
@itemize x

@item @code{HotMove}. Calls an EdgeAction when dragging a window over the edge.

@item @code{Expose}. Simple expose (one-shot tiling) EdgeAction (can also be used stand-alone).
Original code by Mark Triggs.

@item @code{Expand}. Drag a window over the edge and it expand to the half-screen size.

@item @code{Show-Desktop}. Toggles between @code{show-desktop} and @code{hide-desktop}.

@item @code{Maximize}. Just for competitive reasons choosable from configurator.
@end itemize

@item @code{before-edge-action-hook} and @code{after-edge-action-hook}. While
@code{enter-flipper-hook} and @code{leave-flipper-hook} simply respond to the mouse
entering or leaving the flipper-window, the new hooks respond only when an EdgeAction
was invoked. The two hooks pass the invoked EdgeAction, activated edge and a boolean
@code{while-moving} value to the child-function (in that order).

@item Simplified, more robust EdgeFlip (flip-viewport and flip-workspace are now split).

@item Improved logic of blocking an action while another is already running. On one hand,
see `Bug Fixes' above, on the other hand it's now ensured that we dont' activate an edge
twice when dragging a window over it or when the pointer hits the edge via mouse-trapping.

@item New @code{move-window-to-corner} and @code{move-window-to-edge} helpers.

@item Updated EdgeAction documentation
@end itemize
@item SawfishConfig changes [Christopher Bratusek]
@itemize @minus

@item Updated and Improved widgets in SawfishConfig:
@itemize x

@item @code{file}. The file(-chooser) widget now uses GtkFileChooserButton in
favour of the ancient GtkFileSelectionDialog. The GtkEntry and GtkVBox used as
helpers became useless and are removed.

@item @code{font}. The font(-chooser) widget now uses GtkFontChooserButton in
favour of the ancient GtkFontSelectionDialog. The GtkEntry used as helper became
useless and is removed.

@item @code{choice}, @code{symbol}, @code{keymap}, @code{frame-style}. Those widgets
now use GtkComboBoxText in favour of ancient GtkCombo/GtkComboEntry.

@item @code{scheme-boolean}. This widget is now properly implemented.

Old: two checkboxes. First for activating setting, second for choosing yes or no.
New: only one checkbox, yes or no as usual, shows minus when unset.

@item @code{number}. The number-widget now has a @code{stepping} property, allowing
to change the increment of a button-press on the spin-button.
@end itemize

@item New widgets in SawfishConfig:
@itemize x

@item @code{range}. The range widget represents an integer with a given range.
Basically it uses a GtkScale instead of a GtkSpinButton, which results in a
better user-experience for those values.

@item @code{image}. The image widget contains a preview and image-selector.
The file-browser openend is setup to display previews, too. Original code by
Lucas Pandolfo.
@end itemize

@item Removed widgets in SawfishConfig:
@itemize x

@item @code{program}. Just an alias to @code{file}.

@item All @code{gtk-only} widgets. Since Sawfish 1.5.0 those have been dummies,
we don't use @code{libgnome}, @code{libgnomeui} or @code{libgnomecanvas} anymore anyway.
@end itemize

@item New buttons. SawfishConfig now offers buttons to access Wiki, Help,
ResourceFile and About. Additionally there's now a file-chooser for installing
themes from @code{*.tar.*} files.

@item Widgets that depend on an disabled setting are now hidden instead of greyed-out.

@item Merged sawfish.cfg.widgets into sawfish.gtk.widgets. Old widgets aren't loaded
anymore, even if present from an old installation.

@item All defcustoms do now have a property to change the position of the label.
To change it, append on of the following to the doc-string: \\left \\right \\top \\bottom.

Example:

@lisp
(defcustom test-var 'eclipse
  "This is just a test with label on top. \\top"
  :type (choice eclipse crosshair none)
  :group appearance)
@end lisp

Of course that only works, if the label is a GtkLabel widget on it's own.

@item Theme/Theming changes [Christopher Bratusek]
@itemize @minus

=== spoiler ===
: StyleTab in Sawfish 1.9 add lots of new fancyness for the price of being slow.
So if you experience a long startup-time of Sawfish, it's a feature, not a bug. :
== /spoiler ===

@item StyleTab changes [fuchur]:
@itemize x

@item The theme is now fully re-colorable. You can choose different colors for
each button and the frame. Furthermore you can choose how much to dimm inactive
frames (compared to active).

@item Majorly improved the grouping of options in StyleTab.

@item Added corners to frames (allowing resize with mouse at window-corners).

@item Available styles: Default (former Dark), WixDa (former Silver), Reduce,
Smoothly and Glass (New).

@item Added hash-tables for images.
@end itemize

@item New themes:
@itemize x

@item Candido
@item Zami-like
@end itemize

@item Improved themes:
@itemize x

@item Gradient has been replaced by Gradient-tabbed.
@end itemize

@item Removed themes [still available from Wiki]:
@itemize x

@item get-S-tabbed
@item brushed-metal
@item simple
@item smaker
@item mono
@item gtk
@end itemize

@item New theme-related configuration-options [theme independent]:
@itemize x

@item Added an option to control the titlebar text position. If a theme
draws something additional in the titlebar (eg. StyleTab draws an icon),
refer to the functions @code{update-title-x-offsets}, @code{update-title-y-offsets}.

@item Added an option to control the cursor-shape when hovering frame-buttons.

@item Added an option to change the font, depending on the window state.
@end itemize

@item Moved definitons for @code{previous-workspace-button} and @code{next-workspace-button}
from StyleTab into Sawfish.
@end itemize
@item New Features
@itemize @minus

@item Added @code{cabinet} application-switcher. @code{cabinet} is an advanced application
switcher for Sawfish. For more information please visit: http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Cabinet
[Wang HongQin]

@item Added @code{tab-group} window-matcher. It allows window to be auto-tabbed together, if
they got the same @code{tab-group} property [fuchur]

@item Added @code{single-window-mode}. Basically this feature is known from OS-X, though it's
implemented in a more strict way. The @code{single-window-mode} window should get all of the users
attention.

This is ensured by auto-iconifying any up-popping window, which is not in the same
group. To additionally not annoy the user this is done without animation. Avoided or ignored
windows are lowered. When @code{single-window-mode} is quit, the opposite happens.

Also @code{single-window-mode} hooks into unmap-notify-hook to check whether the user wants to
stop @code{single-window-mode} (by either closing or iconifying the window). Besides each
workspace can hold it's own @code{single-window-mode}.

@item Added @code{mouse-trap} feature. It provides a method for moving the mouse to any place of
the screen by zooming with just a few keystrokes. The mouse is warped to the center of the screen
screen and a outline is drawn dividing the screen in 4 squares (like trapping the mouse on it).
[Fernando Carmano Varo] [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Added @code{shade-stack} feature. It provides an alternative to @code{iconify-window}.
Instead of iconifying a window or minizing it to a tray, the windows get shaded and sorted in
a stack starting from the top-left corner (the number of columns can be changed). Combined with
auto-unshade this offers - possibly - a better way of interacting with windows which aren't
required at the moment. Original code by Luke Gorrie. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Integrated settings for selecting wallpaper using an external command (eg: hsetroot).
Applying settings to GNOME2 or XFCE4 is also supported. Original code by Lucas Pandolfo.
[Christopher Bratusek]

@item Added @code{toggle-desktop} function. Toggles between @code{show-desktop} and
@code{hide-desktop} - always logically correct. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Improved desktop-integration modules [Christopher Bratusek]
@itemize x

@item KDE integration: added entries for user-switch, hibernate, suspend, lock-screen, menu-editor.

@item XFCE integration: added entries for hibernate, suspend, lock-screen, menu-editor.

@item GNOME integration: added entry for lock-screen, menu-editor.

@item MATE integration: full integration module for MATE Desktop has been added.

@item Razor-Qt integration: full integration module for Razor-Qt has been added.

@item LXDE integration: basic integration module for LXDE has been added.

@item The fallback poweroff-menu now uses SSD @code{Sawfish-Session-Dialog}, a companion to Sawfish,
by default. Support for logout and lockdown has been added. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Added a @code{filemanager} launcher. If set the Sawfish root-menu will show an @code{Open Home}
entry. The KDE, GNOME, MATE, XFCE and LXDE integration modules will set the program accordingly, unless
it's already user-defined.

@itemize @bullet

@item Incompatible changes
@itemize @minus
@item Infinite-desktop and edge-flip needs updates.

Open the configurator -> ``Edge Actions''. Changes will be easy. (Set
4 pull-downs, and you're done mostly. ``Infinite-desktop'' is renamed to
``viewport-drag''.) For more options, see ``Edge Actions'' below.

If your @file{~/.sawfish/rc} opens related modules, delete those references.
These modules are renamed, and you don't have to manually load them any
more.

@item Renamed functions [Teika kazura]
@itemize
@item Popup of operations-menu on a window, renamed from @code{popup-window-menu} to @code{popup-window-ops-menu} (both the function and command). Old names are still available.
@item Renamed window rename, from @code{rename-window-func} to @code{rename-window}. (Old name is still avialable.) The function @code{rename-window-interactive} is deleted. Use @code{(call-command 'rename-window)} instead.
@end itemize

Even if the old names still remain, it is highly recommended to update.

@item Syntax-change in @code{jump-or-exec} [Christopher Bratusek]

The previous @code{class} and @code{onfocused} parameters are now
keys, and pass them as ``#:match-class t/nil'' or ``#:onfocused
value''. Note that @code{match-class} is @emph{boolean}; To pass a
class, set @code{#:match-class t} and pass the class name to the
argument @code{regex}. (@pxref{Application Invocation})

@item Apps-menu options @code{apps-menu-show-all} is deleted. See below for more.

@item User option @code{focus-ignore-pointer-events} is deleted. [Teika kazura]@*
In fact, it's for internal use, and should not have been a user option. Use your favorite focus mode instead.

@item Animation related modules are renamed [Teika kazura]

All are collected under @file{sawfish/wm/animation}. @code{window-anim.jl} -> @code{setup.jl}, @code{outline.jl} -> @code{main.jl}, @code{util/window-outline.jl} -> @code{modes.jl}.

@item Build and Installation
@itemize @minus

@item Fixed installation for non-root users [Stefano Sabatini]

Previously when installing to a private directory as an ordinary user, the installation failed, because some files
were forced to be installed in /usr. This is fixed now.

@item Session files installation [Christopher Bratusek]

Now you can choose which session files (default: all) to install with these configure-options:

@itemize *
@item @code{--with/out-kde4session}: enable or disable the installation of session files for KDE4.
@item @code{--with/out-gnome2session}: enable or disable the installation of session files for GNOME2.
@item @code{--with/out-xdmsession}: enable or disable the installation of session files for XDM (or other display-managers).

@item Poweroff-menu fix [Teika Kazura, Christopher Bratusek]

In Sawfish-1.7.0, poweroff related items in the popup menu couldn't be
invoked, if run without any desktop environment. Fixed it.

@item Correctly build SawfishPager [Christopher Bratusek]

It is ensured that SawfishPager builds correctly, by improving @file{sawfish.pc} file.

@item At focus in/out, correctly reports the mode [Timo Korvola]

When @code{focus-in-hook} / @code{focus-out-hook} are called,
Sawfish wrongly reported a focus change during a grab as
``ungrabbed''. Now it's reported as @code{while-grabbed}.

@item Window cycle among groups [Teika Kazura]

Some windows were skipped in window cycles among groups. This is fixed.

@item No more crash at loading wrong theme code [Teika Kazura]

From Sawfish-1.7.0, Sawfish used to crash when a theme with wrong code
is loaded, but it's fixed. It's not complete, and for example some
mxflat options make Sawfish crash.

@item Cancellation of @code{call-command} [Teika kazura]

It used to print an error message when you cancel an interactive call of
@code{call-command} with the escape key, but it doesn't any more.

@item KDE *.desktop files location [Teika Kazura]

Previously, user's change of the variable @code{kde-desktop-directories} was ignored, but this is fixed.
@end itemize
@item New Features
@itemize @minus

@item Edge Actions [Christopher Bratusek]

``Edge Actions'' is a centralized way to invoke an action when the
mouse pointer hits a screen-edge. It includes former ``edge-flip'' and
``infinite-desktop'' (now renamed to ``viewport-drag''), and a new
feature ``hot-spot''.

Edge-flip and viewport-drag can be configured from the
configurator ``Edge Actions'' group. Options are easy to
understand.

``Hot-spot'' lets you assign an action to each screen-edge and
-corner. An action has to be a lisp function, and can be set in
@file{~/.sawfish/rc}, like this:

@lisp
(defvar-setq top-left-corner-function
  (lambda () (display-message "hello world")))
@end lisp

Hot-spot variable names consist of position (e.g. top-left or bottom) + ``edge''/''corner'' + ``function''.

Other related changes are:
@itemize *
@item Viewport-drag and edge-flip (of course hot-spot, too) can be chosen per direction, top-bottom and left-right. It's also possible to enable / disable dragging of a window for each of them.
@item It means a window can be dragged during viewport-drag, which was not possible.
@item There're two delay timers now, for edge-flip and hot-spot.
@end itemize

Internal changes:
@itemize *
@item Codes are found in @code{sawfish.wm.edge.*}. You don't have to import them for ordinary use.
@item Low-level functions now have API in @code{sawfish.wm.edge.util} written in Lisp.
@end itemize

@item Replace running window manager with Sawfish [Timo Korvola]@*
New command line option @code{--replace} is added. With it, Sawfish
will replace the currently running window manager. It's
done by ``manager selection'' defined in ICCCM secs 2.8 and 4.3.

@item Toggle-Or-Exec wrapper added to Jump-Or-Exec [Christopher Bratusek]

@code{toggle-or-exec} is similar to jump-or-exec, but turns windows
into quake-like drop-down/pop-up-windows. That means, when you have
the toggle-window focused and press its keybinding again, it will be
hidden.

See the file @file{jump-or-exec.jl} for more detailed examples.

@item @code{iconify-on-leave} window-matcher [Christopher Bratusek]

This new window-matcher is a companion to @code{toggle-or-exec}. When
a window matched loses the focus, it gets hidden. Use this together
with @code{toggle-or-exec} for greater toggle-window experience.

@item Error printing during initialization [Teika Kazura]

When an error occurs during initialization, and if you don't customize
the option @code{error-handler}, then the error is reported to both
the screen and standard-error. After Sawfish starts, it's printed to
the standard-error only.

@item New function @code{report-commands} [Teika kazura]@*
It returns the list of all commands. (@pxref{Operations on Commands}).
@end itemize
@item Misc Changes
@itemize @minus

@item Tabs and themes [fuchur]

A new, tab-capable, highly configurable theme ``StyleTab'' is added. It
allows the tab-bar to appear in top, left, right, and bottom. Use a
new window rule @code{title-position} for it. ``StyleTab'' is now the
default theme.

Many improvements in tab system are done. For example, stickiness change
on a window applies to all other windows in the same tab group, though
maybe not yet complete. (Please tell us things you noticed.)

When you used a tab capable theme (Elberg-Tabbed or Get-S-Tabbed), you
had to manually adjust positions by pixel, but it's not necessary any
more.

When a lot of windows are open, they should now be more responsive.

@item Application menu is fully customizable [Matthew Love]

With the new option @code{apps-menu-filter}, you can fully customize
the application menu. For the full description, see @xref{Applications
Menu}.

It replaces former options like @code{apps-menu-show-all} or
@code{apps-menu-ignore-no-display}.

@item Per-window animation mode [Teika kazura]

From the configurator ``Window Rules'' you can set the animation
mode when iconified. (@pxref{Animating Windows})

@item Behavior modification at focus-in [Harald van Dijk]

In order to support ``gnome2-globalmenu'', the reaction policy to
@code{XFocusInEvent} is slightly modified. Sawfish doesn't emit
@code{_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW} if it's done by (un)grabbing the pointer.

@item Revised @code{get-window-by-*} functions [Christopher Bratusek]

For the details, see @xref{Window Attributes}, and @xref{Getting Windows}.
@itemize *
@item Added functions @code{window-role} and @code{get-window-by-role} (return NET_WM_ROLE)
@item Deleted @code{get-window-by-name-re} and @code{get-window-by-class-re}. Use instead @code{get-window-by-name} or @code{get-window-by-class} with the new boolean option @code{#:regex}. (The old name is still supported.)
@item added @code{#:icon} switch to @code{get-window-by-name} to get a window via NET_WM_ICON_NAME (can be used with #:regex switch, too)

@item Commands to resize a window [Christopher Bratusek, Teika kazura]

Four new commands to resize a window where you can specify
the size by pixels are there. You're either prompted to type in
the new size, or you can preset it in the configurator.

For the new command @code{resize-window-to-preset-size}, first you
specify a size in the configurator. The focused window will be resized
to that preset size on invocation. There're also commands to change
only one of the height and width.

@code{resize-window-prompt} prompts you to enter the new size.
@end itemize

@item Window-operation menu improvements [Christopher Bratusek]

@itemize +
@item The window-operation menu now honours window rules better.
For example, if you have a window with @code{fixed-size} flag, the
window-operations menu-entry @code{Resize} becomes unclickable.
@item The entries for moving and copying windows to another workspace are
now bundled in the new @code{Workspace} sub-menu.
@end itemize

@item Translation related changes [Teika Kazura]
@itemize +
@item Added translator instructions in @file{po/README} file.
@item Before you run @file{po/make-pot} to generate @file{sawfish.pot}, you
now have to do @code{make all} at the top directory. Previously it was
possible to produce wrong @file{sawfish.pot}.
@item Translation updates: Spanish [gnome-es team], German [gnome-de team],
Simplified-Chinese [gnome-zh_CN team, Wang Lei], Norwegian/bokmål [gnome-no
team] French [gnome-fr team], Czech [gnome-cs team] and Slovenian [gnome-sl team].
@item Updated @file{sawfish.pot} and subsequently all @file{*.po}. Banished some bogus items in @file{sawfish.pot}.

@item Prompt API change [Jeremy Hankins]

If you have code which utilizes prompt, it is affected. When you
call the function @code{prompt}, directly pass helper functions
as function arguments. They used to be set as global variables.

This change is straightforward, so it's not difficult to update your
code. See @code{sawfish.wm.util.prompt} for details.

@item Mouse-button support state

Sawfish claimed to support mouse-buttons 1 - 9, but it is known that
drag of buttons 6 - 8 may not work. The button 9 doesn't work at all,
so we withdraw it.

@item Functions @code{maybe-raise-window} and @code{maybe-lower-window} are
now obsolete. [Teika Kazura]

Replace them with @code{raise-window*} and @code{lower-window*} defined
in @code{sawfish.wm.util.stacking}. Only difference is that the obsolete
version supports a feature of Nautilus (GNOME file manager) which was

@item Bug Fixes
@itemize @minus
@item Maximized windows wrongly covering other windows on startup [Jeremy Hankins]

Sometimes maximized windows would overlap ``avoided'' windows (e.g.,
the gnome-panel, or a trayer) on startup. Sawfish now defers
maximization until the initialization is complete, preventing this
problem.

@item Viewport initialization bugfix [Jeremy Hankins]

Under certain circumstances viewport slots were wrongly shifted when
Sawfish was restarted, ending up with some windows outside of the
virtual desktop. This has been fixed.

@item Keyboard-layout switching support [Teika Kazura]

Previously, when you switched the keyboard-layout, or more correctly
the keyboard-``group'' (which is mainly for multilinguals) keyboard-
and mouse-bindings got messed-up.

Now, this can be prevented by invoking Sawfish with the new
commandline-option @code{--5-buttons}. It is assumed that modifiers
are common among keyboard groups.

More precisely, what's supported is switching by @code{ISO_Next_Group}
or similar, bound to a key (for example ctrl + alt). It appears as
``option'' in X keyboard configuration, like ``grp:ctrl_alt_toggle''.
If you use some utility to switch the layout and it confuses Sawfish
keybindings, please restart Sawfish.

With that commandline-option, you won't be able to bind Sawfish
commands to mouse buttons 6 - 8. This may be fixed in future.

@item Atom handling fix on 32-bit architecture (Java fix). [Teika Kazura]

Function @code{x-atom-name} now accepts all 32 bits. Previously only
30 bits were treated if the architecture was 32-bit. 64-bit systems
hadn't had this bug.

It used to cause ``Bad argument'' error, most notably on Java
applications. (In theory, an atom is set by X server, not a client.
But Java applications seem to be affected often by this bug.)

@item Applications menu bugfix [Matthew Love]

Correct alphabetic ordering of menu-entries is done. Previously they
were sorted [A-Z][a-z] (first all upper- then all loser-case entries).

Also the function for detecting the language has been improved. It
now better follows the freedesktop.org specification.

@item Edge-flip and infinite-desktop now work after screen-resolution change. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Sawfish now starts up correctly when receiving a session-id or
session-prefix from GNOME-Session [Clinton Ebadi, Christopher Bratusek]

@item Draft animator bugfix. [Christopher Bratusek]

The ``draft'' animator had two issues: on one hand the drawn numbers
were always black (therefore possibly invisible), on the other hand
those numbers weren't erased from the screen. Both have been
fixed. Internally, it's done by the new @code{x-draw-text} function
described below.

@item Resurrection of two variables [Teika Kazura]

User options @code{workspace-boundary-mode} and
@code{workspace-send-boundary-mode} couldn't be set from the
configurator, but this is fixed.

@item Command @code{xterm} fix [Teika kazura]@*
It couldn't be invoked as a key binging if the optional ``command''
argument was unset by the configurator, i.e. an empty string.
@end itemize

@item New Features
@itemize @minus
@item Desktop-environment integration [Christopher Bratusek]

Support for XFCE integration was added. It's just like GNOME/KDE4 integration:
it sets @code{xterm-program} and @code{browser-program} (unless already
set by user), and adds XFCE logout/help/customization menu-entries to
the Sawfish root-menu.

Improvements: All menu-entries for GNOME/KDE4 do now have
accelerators. Entries for invoking @code{gnome-control-center} or KDE
@code{systemsettings} have been added. The KDE4 detection has been
improved. See also the item ``Applications menu improvements'' below.

A new variable @code{desktop-environment} tells which desktop
environment is running (@pxref{External Applications}).

@item Applications menu improvements [Matthew Love]

Applications menu now looks more like that of GNOME / KDE / XFCE if
one is running. (further improvements are planned)

The user option @code{apps-menu-ignore-no-display} is now gone
and replaced by @code{apps-menu-show-all}. [Note: After Sawfish-1.8.0,
this option is superseded by @code{apps-menu-filter}.]

If @code{apps-menu-show-all} is @code{nil} (default), the menu
looks much like that of GNOME / KDE / Xfce, by hiding some
applications. If it's @code{t}, then all installed applications are
shown. An intermediate option, the symbol @code{maybe} is possible, as
described below.

Technically, fields @code{NotShowIn} and @code{OnlyShowIn} in files
@file{/usr/share/applications/*.desktop} tell under which
desktop environment that application wants to be shown. If
@code{apps-menu-show-all} is @code{nil} or @code{maybe}, they are
respected.

Items with field @code{Hidden} or @code{NoDisplay} are usually not to
be shown. They are respected if @code{apps-menu-show-all} is @code{nil}.

The KDE specific directory is now searched, too while menu generation.

@item New window rules [Christopher Bratusek]

@itemize
@item @code{fixed-size}: this disables resizing, or more precisely,
functions @code{resize-window-interactively}, @code{halve-window-size}
and @code{double-window-size}. (Maximization is still possible.  Use
@code{never-maximize} to prevent maximization.)

@item @code{never-delete}: this disables closing. Only interactive
closing is prevented, and you can delete windows with
@code{never-delete} property from a lisp program.
@end itemize

@item Update of emacs major mode @file{sawfish.el} [Teika kazura]

It is now distributed with Sawfish window manager. Improvements are:

@itemize
@item Evaluation used to choke when it encountered @code{#f} or @code{#t}. This is fixed.
@item Highlighting of the keywords like @code{define} works again.
@item @code{describe-function} have been broken, but it works again.
@item In @code{describe-variable}, the value of the variable is pretty-printed.
@item @code{sawfish-load-symbols} can be called interactively to update the cached symbols.
@item Better introductory part.
@end itemize

@item New frame-parts @code{border-width} and @code{border-color}
[Alexey I. Froloff]

A ``border'' of a window surrounds the window and all other frame
parts. (@pxref{Frame Part Definition})

@item New commandline-option @code{--5-buttons}@*
See the item ``Keyboard-layout switching support'' above.

@item @code{x-draw-text} function [Christopher Bratusek]

It is similar to @code{x-draw-string}. Generally, if you use a
@code{display-message} like message, call @code{x-draw-string}.
If you want to draw on the screen directly use @code{x-draw-text}
(@pxref{X Drawing}.)
@end itemize

@item Translation updates

Updated translations since 1.6.0 are Danish (da), British English
(en_GB), German (de), Spanish (es), Slovenian (sl), and Swedish (sv).

All translation files are now in UTF-8. Changed languages are Galician
(gl), Italian (it), Romanian (ro), and Turkish (tr). The rest were
already UTF-8. [Teika Kazura]

@item Miscellaneous Changes
@itemize @minus
@item More error and backtrace printing [Teika Kazura]

Due to librep >= 0.91.0, the backtrace is printed by default when an
error was signaled. It is printed for sawfish-client, too, but it's
sent to Sawfish's standard error, not to sawfish-client's, sorry.

Phrase ``Sawfish error:'' is prepended to error messages which are
printed to standard error.

Sawfish-pager's errors are printed to Sawfish's output. More
precisely, when you connected to Sawfish as a server asynchronously,
then the error was not printed. But now it is printed, to Sawfish's
output. (In contrast, a client which connects synchronously receives
the error message itself.)

@item Pointer warping in window cycling [Teika Kazura]

In window cycling, some unnecessary pointer warping is avoided.
Previously, the necessity of a warp was judged by the geometry before
the raise was done. Now the updated one is used.

@item Configurator changes (user visible parts) [Christopher Bratusek]

Icon is now provided. (If it doesn't show up, first run @code{gtk-update-icon-cache}.)

If you run the configurator but the Sawfish window manager is not
running, then an alert window is displayed before abortion. [Teika
Kazura, Christopher Bratusek]

Two obsolete features are deleted. One is the command line option
@code{--socket-id}, which was for ``capplets'', part of very early
GNOME 2.x. The other is the command line option @code{--single-level}
which has been broken.

@item Doc improvements

FAQ items, on how to hide the mouse-pointer, and on application execution.@*
Manuals (1) describe all options. KEYBINDINGS file was revised

Newly described functions are: @code{grab-keymap} and @code{ungrab-keymap}
(@pxref{Keymaps}), @code{x-raise-window} and @code{x-lower-window}
(@pxref{Raising and Lowering Windows}), @code{frame-state-mutex}
(@pxref{Frame Functions}).

@item Root-Menu improvements [Christopher Bratusek]

All menu-entries do now have accelerators. Labels for help entries have
been improved.

@c sawfish.gtk can be thought as configurator internals.
@item Configurator internals [Christopher Bratusek]

The module @code{widget-test} is deleted. It provided testing function
of widgets in modules @code{sawfish.gtk.*}. But allegedly it is broken
and crashed Sawfish.

@code{widget-dialog.jl} was merged into @code{simple-dialog.jl}

Previously the functions @code{remove-newlines} and
@code{beautify-symbol-name} were defined in several modules, with the
same contents. Now they are defined (only once) in a new module
@code{sawfish.cfg.utils}.

The @code{stock-button} function was defined in Sawfish, but now it's
replaced by directly using @code{gtk-button-new-from-stock}. Same for the
@code{about-dialog} function, replaced (in version 1.6.0) by @code{gtk-about-dialog}.

@file{/usr/bin/sawfish-config} is now minimal, moving most of it's
content to @code{sawfish.cfg.shell} [Teika Kazura]

@item Module @code{3d-hack} is deleted. [Christopher Bratusek]

The @code{3d-hack} module was an animation demo, not a feature. It
provided two functions similar to @code{glxgears}, rendered in 2d.
If you want it, it can be downloaded from the Sawfish Wiki, from the
page ``3d-hack''.

@code{iconify}. In addition, new tabs gain those properties from their
parent window.
@end itemize
@item New command @code{display-window-position} [Teika kazura]

User chooses a window by cursor and click, and it prints its position
and size in a popup. Also available as a function, defined in
@code{sawfish.wm.util.display-wininfo}.

@item New function @code{window-pid} [Teika kazura]

It returns the process ID of a window. (@pxref{Window Attributes}

@item Window instance name is now accessible [Teika kazura]

Technically, the window class consists of ``instance'' and ``class'',
but only the latter was returned previously by the function
@code{window-class}. Now with the new optional argument, the instance
is returned too. (@pxref{Window Attributes})

@item Customizable lisp directory [Teika kazura]

User can add lisp directories to be read with the environmental
variable @code{SAWFISH_USER_LISP_DIR}. Its value is directories
separated by colon, like @code{PATH}, and prepended to
@code{load-path}. If not set, @file{~/.sawfish/lisp} is assumed.
For example, if you define a module @code{sawfish.wm.super-hack}, then
it can be read from @file{~/.sawfish/lisp/sawfish/wm/super-hack.jl}.

User can override system lisp files, too. For example, if there is
@file{~/.sawfish/lisp/sawfish/wm/windows.jl}, then it defines
@code{sawfish.wm.windows}, instead of the installed one. (But this can
easily break your Sawfish startup.) In fact, it was possible for some
lisp files, but now it's guaranteed for all files.

@item Other Changes

@item Info improvements [Teika kazura]
@itemize +

@item ``Windows'' chapter is partly revised. Function @code{display-window}
is documented. Difference between @code{window-wants-input-p} and
@code{window-really-wants-input-p} is described. Short description on
the root window.

@item In past few versions we made more changes which were not described in
the news, including clarification in viewport, workspace and event,
and window matching lisp functions.

@item Added a faq item on multi-head and workspace.

@item Edition number and the date of last change are dropped from the info.
We now edit the info often, so they are not so much meaningful.
@end itemize

@c The reason that this item is not categorized as ``bugfix'' is that
@c 1. Lock-button, or more precisely 'fixed-position' property
@c    lacks precise definition. It forbids moving, but resizing
@c    is allowed. It also affects window placement, too.
@c 2. Currently doc of window-state-change-hook is wrong, but
@c    correction takes long.
@item Pressing the lock-button does the state-change of the window
accordingly. [Fuchur]@*
No theme shipped with Sawfish does have the lock-button yet, though.

@item Application menu is more robust now.  [Matthew Love, Christopher Bratusek]

Application menu, introduced in 1.6.0, made Sawfish crash if
@file{*.desktop} file had a malformed key value (say ; as first
character or # somewhere inside), or it was unreadable. It is fixed.

@item Minor fix of window placement by direction [Teika kazura]

When the window placement mode is for example @code{east} and the window
is wider than the screen, then the window was put wrongly. It is fixed.
@end itemize

@item New features
@itemize @minus
@item New command @code{maximize-discard} [Teika kazura]

The command @code{maximize-discard} stops a maximized window to be
treated as maximized any more, so that you can move and resize the
window.

The functinon @code{maximize-discard} has existed, and now it's
exported.

@item New command @code{jump-or-exec} [Christopher Bratusek]

The user uploaded module ``jump-or-exec'' has been merged. It
provides @code{jump-or-exec}, a command which may be used to focus a
window, or if it does not exist, start the application.

Unlike the original version this one also supports matching a window
by its class (returned by @code{window-class} function), which makes
it more flexible for applications like music player or browsers, which
tend to change their WM_NAME relatively often.

For usage, see @file{lisp/sawfish/wm/commands/jump-or-exec.jl} file.

@item Removed requirements: LibAudioFile and ESounD
@item Mouse buttons 6 - 9 support is now optional

(This item is no longer valid from 1.7.0.)  Support for 6 - 9 mouse
buttons is now optional. X.Org/XFree86 headers only define up to 5
buttons, and we use a working but somewhat hackish workaround for
getting buttons 6 - 9 which is suspected to cause some problems with
modifiers. Support for them is enabled by default. If you want to
disable it, add the following flag to configure:

@code{--without-nine-mousebuttons}
@c Well, ``code'' gives ugly (back)quote, but otherwise the first hyphen is dropped.

If you drop it, then you can't use mouse button 8 to, for example,
drag windows.

@item Installation directory change

Directory @file{libexec} is not used anymore for library files
installation. Instead, they go into @file{lib} by default.
@end itemize

@item Incompatible user visible changes:
@itemize @minus

@item Configurator's binary, @code{sawfish-ui}, is renamed to @code{sawfish-config} [Christopher Bratusek]

Its window class is changed to @code{sawfish-configurator} /
@code{Sawfish-Configurator}, too. The lisp module is renamed from
@code{sawfish.ui} to @code{sawfish.cfg}.

@item Infinite Desktop boundary behavior and option

In @code{infinite-desktop}, the option to specify the boundary
behavior has changed. If @code{viewport-boundary-mode} is
@code{dynamic}, then you can go as far as you like. Otherwise, it
stops at the workspace boundary of which size is specified by
@code{viewport-dimensions}. Now the latter is the default. See also
``dynamic viewport'' described below.

The previous variable, @code{infinite-desktop.stop-at-workspace-borders},
which is used for this purpose, no longer exists.

@item User config file changes

In Sawfish < 1.6, @code{sawfish.wm.defaults} is loaded by default,
only if the @file{~/.sawfishrc} lacks. Now, it is always read, so you
don't have to @code{require} it. It sets up GNOME or KDE support if
found running, and does load the error-handling module.

Since Sawfish 1.5 @code{~/.sawmillrc} is no longer a valid configuration-
file. From this version on, Sawfish will rename @code{~/.sawmillrc} to
@code{~/.sawfishrc}, if the former does exist on your system, but the
latter doesn't.

@item In configurator, the "Matched Windows" group has been renamed to "Window Rules"

@item Sound support has changed. [Christopher Bratusek]

Sawfish used to rely on ESounD and LibAudioFile to play sound, but we
dropped that. If you want sound, set the variable @code{play-sample-program}
to the path of the program capable of playing *.wav file. You can set the
variable from the Configurator, too. By default `paplay' is being used.

You can't set any arguments to pass from this variable. If you want to
give arguments or redirect output, write a wrapper
program. (@pxref{FAQ}, ``Sound support'' section.)

@item GNOME integration updates [Christopher Bratusek]

GNOME support is trimmed down. All we offer now is as follows:

If GNOME runs, in @code{session} submenu under Sawfish root menu,
logout and shutdown from GNOME are added. Don't remove @code{quit} and
@code{restart} from menu now. GNOME help is available in menu.

Unless set by user, gnome-terminal.wrapper and gnome-www-browser are used for
user options @code{xterm-program} and @code{browser-program}.

Most of dropped GNOME integrationcode is ancient, mainly for 1.x and
early 2.x. Files @file{lisp/sawfish/wm/commands/gnome.jl} and
@file{lisp/sawfish/wm/state/gnome.jl} are deleted.

GNOME-Detection has been updated for recent versions. [Alexey I. Froloff]

@item xterm and browser changes

Module @code{sawfish.wm.commands.xterm} is renamed to
@code{sawfish.wm.commands.launcher}. Option @code{xterm-args} is
dropped. If you use it, simply append its value to @code{xterm-program}.

Customization-group is changed from @code{misc} to @code{External
Applications}.

The functinon @code{display-url} is renamed to @code{browser}, now
defined in the module cited above. Variable @code{display-url-command} is
renamed to @code{browser-program}.

@item Sawfish pager

If you've been using Sawfish-pager, then you have to recompile it,
due to library files location change.

@item Deletion of @code{user-level} property

(This affects almost none.) There has been a defcustom property
@code{user-level}. It has been deprecated for years, and it's
now deleted.
@end itemize

@item Bugs fixed:
@itemize @minus

@item Prevents crashes for quick window destructions, especially under high load

There have been crashes if a window is destroyed soon after its creation.
It happens in @code{add_window} function, and the cause is guessed to be
garbage collection following window destruction before the object access.

Now most parts of @code{add_window} are protected from garbage
collection with @code{rep_PUSHGC} / @code{rep_POPGC}. It also prevents
@code{add_window_hook} from being called with uninitialised argument.
[Timo Korvola, Janek Kozicki]

@item Random window disapperance prevention

There're reports of sudden, random window disapperance, under Xinerama
and some other drivers. It is partly prevented, but not completely, as
this may also be caused by other libraries or buggy video drivers.

Now in error_handler() in src/display.c, when a window sends request_code
12 (X_ConfigureWindow), don't auto-assume it to be unmapped. [Janek
Kozicki]

@end itemize
@item New features:
@itemize @minus

@item New application menu [Matthew Love, Timo Korvola]

Sawfish now generates application menu automatically, by reading
@file{/usr/share/applications/*.desktop} files. If you manually set
@code{apps-menu}, then it won't be. If you like to have both your
own applications menu and auto the generated one, then refer back to
@code{user-apps-menu} rather than @code{apps-menu}. In addition you can
use the variable @code{desktop-directory} to specify a different directory
to look for *.desktop files, or a set of directories, if desired.

Root, and Window-Operations menus are revamped, too. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Added options to change the font color of window title, independent of the theme in use [Matthew Love, Christopher Bratusek, Timo Korvola]

Internally, a new function @code{remove-frame-part-value} which allows to change/remove values from frame-parts is used. [Timo Korvola]

@item Sawfish does now support theme-tarballs compressed with XZ (aka LZMA2) and LZMA [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Xinerama support for Grow/Pack [Nolan Leake]

Make grow/pack Xinerama aware. The support still remains basic, as shrink/yank still lacks it.

@item Window rules can be set by lisp

Window rules (former ``matched windows'') can easily be set from
configurator, but it can now be set by lisp, too, with
@code{add-window-matcher} function. For the details, @xref{Window
Rules by Matching}. An example usage is like this:


@lisp
(add-window-matcher '((WM_NAME . "^root$")
                      (WM_CLASS . "^XTerm/xterm$"))
                    '((ignore-program-position . t)
                      (maximize . vertical)))
@end lisp

In fact, this function has already existed, but now it can now specify
both windowname and -class, also the grammar has changed. The old syntax
is still allowed, but deprecated.

@item Keymap translation [Scott Scriven]

Sawfish can ``translate'' keymaps for each window. Suppose you have
the following lines in your @file{~/.sawfish/rc}:

@lisp
(add-window-matcher
        '((WM_NAME . "^Terminal$"))
        '(keymap-trans . (("C-n" "C-S-t")
                          ("C-w" "C-S-w"))))
@end lisp

Then, when you press @kbd{C-n}, any windows with name ``Terminal''
receive @kbd{C-S-t}, and so on.

This is part of window rules, but it cannot be exposed in the configurator yet.

@item New window rules
@itemize +
@item Maximizations @code{fullscreen} and @code{full-xinerama} are available now (@pxref{Maximizing Without Borders}) [Jeremy Hankins]
@item Window position can also be specified by the direction, like north or east, instead of the coordinates. [Jeremy Hankins]
@item New window rules @code{new-workspace} and @code{new-viewport}, which place a window on the first empty Workspace or Viewport (if there's none, one will be generated), have been introduced [Jeremy Hankins]

If @code{new-workspace} is chosen, then the window is put in an empty
workspace, or a new workspace is created if none. A workspace with
sticky windows only are considered empty. @code{new-viewport} is
the same but an empty viewport is chosen. If none is, the workspace is
enlarged, and the window is put in a new viewport.
@item @code{window-name} can change the window's name. [Christopher Bratusek]
@end itemize

@item New commands [Christopher Bratusek]

5 new move-cursor commands, 4 diagonals and 1 to center. (@pxref{Pointer Functions}

Three window manipulation commands, @code{double-window-size}, @code{halve-window-size}, and @code{move-window-center}.
The former two are based on the @code{resize-by-factor} metafunction.

@code{browser} invokes a browser instance.

@item New functions
@code{rename-window} changes the window name. [from ``mmc'' fork, Christopher Bratusek]

In practice, it works, but technically speaking, the
window name is not supposed to be changed in ICCCM, by the Window-Manager.

@code{viewport-windows} returns windows in a viewport. [Jeremy Hankins]

@code{get-window-by-class} and @code{get-window-by-class-re} [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Dynamic Viewport-Boundary-Mode [Jeremy Hankins]

When you set @code{viewport-boundary-mode} to @code{dynamic},
then the workspace grows and shrinks dynamically so that it contains
all windows and the current viewport. For the details, @xref{Dynamic
Viewport}.

@item KDE4 integration module [Christopher Bratusek]

KDE4 is automatically detected. KDE help, and KDE logout, shutdown, and
reboot are provided in the menu. In KDE4 WM Selector, Sawfish is
added.

Unless set by user, konsole and konqueror are used for user options
@code{xterm-program} and @code{browser-program}.

@item Poweroff from menu

Added poweroff commands in menu for non KDE/GNOME users. There are
reboot, halt, suspend and hibernate. The used shell commands can be
set from configurator, under ``Misc'' -> ``External Applications''. If
you don't want it, set @code{want-poweroff-menu} to nil.

User needs the appropriate privilege. For a way to do so, see
@xref{FAQ}, ``Shutdown privilege'' section.

Reboot and halt call @code{before-exit-hook} and do
@code{delete-window} to each window before actually rebooting or
halting, to ensure everything is fine on the next startup.

@item New Frame Classes [Christopher Bratusek] @*
A ``frame class'' defines frame component and are used by themers to add
buttons or frames to their theme in charge. There are no user visible changes.

@itemize +

@item @code{sticky-button}, a button to toggle window @code{sticky} or @code{viewport-sticky}

@item @code{lock-button}, a button to toggle window position @code{fixed}

@item @code{rename-button}, a button to rename the window-title and window-icon properties (not ICCCM compliant)

@item @code{move-resize-button}, a button to perform various move and resize actions on a window

@item Startup window placement improvement [Jeremy Hankins]

(Later this item was found wrong. The true fix was done in 1.7.0.)  At

@heading 1.5.0 "The Hardstyle Factory"

The new release is Sawfish-1.5.0. We don't release 1.4 series for
historical reason. The next will be 1.6, and 1.5.x are for bugfix
branches.

@itemize @bullet

@item The 1.5.0 release has new features and bugfixes

@item New/Updated requirements:
@itemize @minus

@item User visible changes:
@itemize @minus
@item Fully renamed from ``sawmill'' to ``sawfish''

If your @file{.sawfishrc} has a line @code{(require 'sawmill-defaults)},
then change it to @code{(require 'sawfish-defaults)}.

If your configuration file is named @code{~/.sawmillrc}, then rename it
to @code{~/.sawfish/rc} or @code{~/.sawfishrc}.

@item Configurator GUI's default style is tree view of categories.

Configurator GUI (sawfish-ui) used to display categories in flat row,
but now arranges them in tree diagram.

To use the old style, put @code{(define-special-variable customize-program "sawfish-ui --flatten")} in your configuration file.

@end itemize

@item New features:
@itemize @minus

@item Tabbed Windowing Support [Yann Hodique, Scott Scriven, Nathan Froyd, Christopher Bratusek], Raise Tabs on hover [Christopher Bratusek]

Windows can be ``tabbed'', or multiple windows bound to one, sharing
size and frames. It's still under development (sorry). For instructions,
see our wiki site @url{http://sawfish.wikia.com/Tabs}.

@item Focus enhancements [Timo Korvola]

Improvements in focus are done from which KDE users will benefit.
Some new windows can receive focus. Some undesired focus transitions
to desktop windows are suppressed.

In enter-exit and enter-only focus modes, enter-notify events caused
by grab/ungrab are ignored. This has a bad side effect, too.

In lisp, replaced hardcoded focus logic by @code{focus-revert}
function. Previously, action when the focused transient window is
unmapped was not handled by focus modes, but coded elsewhere. Now
@code{focus-revert} event is invoked, and passed to focus modes. (For
detail, @pxref{Input Focus}.) This makes the modes' policy clear, and
programmable.

@item cursor warp enhancements. [Christopher Bratusek]

During window cycling, cursor is warped to the current top window if
@code{warp-to-window-enabled} and @code{cycle-raise-windows} are
non-nil.

When the window gets unmaximized, the cursor is retained in that
window when @code{warp-to-window-enabled} is non-nil.

@item 3 New Window-Animators for moving and resizing: cross, elliptical and draft [Christopher Bratusek, Teika Kazura (draft fixups)]

@item Shrinking/Yanking Support [Timo Korvola]

Shrink and yank are commands to reduce overlap with other windows ``by
one'', with a motion in direction left/right/up/down. ``Shrink''
commands move one edge of the window to shrink, and ``yank'' commands
move the window.

To use them, put @code{(require 'sawfish.wm.commands.shrink-yank)} in
your configuration file, and use the configurator GUI to bind commands
to keys.

@item ``Infinite Desktop'' Feature [David T. McWherter]

It makes the virtual desktop bigger than the screen, actually so big
that there's no limit. You can scroll it with mouse continuously in
natural manner.

This is in contrast to the coventional viewport; it scrolls
by a step of one screen size. Thus it may not work so well with
viewports.

To use it, put @code{(require 'sawfish.wm.ext.infinite-desktop)} in
your configuration file, and use configurator GUI.

@item In configurator GUI, viewport commands and history appear. Under matched-window, fixed-position, never-iconify, never-maximize are available. [Christopher Bratusek]

@item Added cycle-among-groups(,-backwards) commands (cycle among the most recently used window of groups) [Fernando Carmano Varo]

@item Added WM_PROTOCOLS @code{_SAWFISH_WM_RAISE_WINDOW} and
@code{_SAWFISH_WM_LOWER_WINDOW}. Used by @code{maybe-raise-window} and
@code{maybe-lower-window} functions.

These are similar to @code{WM_TAKE_FOCUS}, in that if the window
supports the protocol, it's up to it whether or not it raises (or
lowers) the window in question. These functions should only be used
where the user hasn't explicitly requested the restacking

An example usage is an application that doesn't want its window to be
raised due to a button-press event that initiates a drag operation

@item New option @code{menus-include-shortcuts}, disabled by default
(Unai Uribarri)

@item Don't interpret windows with @code{WM_TRANSIENT_FOR} set to the
root window as children of all windows in the group (it causes too many
annoying effects), instead just decorate these windows as transients

@item Handle @code{group} and @code{transient} iconification modes
better, don't use a recursive method, instead use one pass to identify
the windows to change, then another to make the changes. In
@code{transients} mode, only change the state of shared transients if
they will have no visible parents afterwards

@item In the (old) GNOME hints code, support a @code{_WIN_HINTS} client
message (with a similar format to the @code{_WIN_STATE} message)

@item New module @code{sawfish.wm.commands.viewport-extras}, some
commands for viewport for viewport navigation (Dams Nadé)

@item Check for @code{never-iconify} and @code{never-maximize}
window properties when appropriate

@item Support sixth and seventh mouse buttons (Steve Haslam)

@item Bug fixes:

@itemize @minus

@item Added @code{font-ascent} and @code{font-descent} functions to the
gaol

@item Catch errors when loading site-init and rep-defaults files

@item Fixed ordering of states output by @code{gtk-style} program
(michaelj@@maine.rr.com)

@item Fixed grabbing mono window icons in gdk-pixbuf mode

@item Added a virtual modifier key, the @kbd{W-} modifier. This
modifier is used for all standard window-manager key bindings, it may
be set to any of the standard X modifiers using the configuration tool

@item Optionally show window-icons when cycling through windows (Unai
Uribarri Rodríguez, me)

@item Event handlers for low-level X windows now get passed the window
as their second argument (Unai Uribarri Rodríguez)

@item Translation updates: fr (Christian Marillat), sv (Richard Hult),
pt_BR (Flávio Bruno Leitner), it (Michele Campeotto)

@item Error handler module (@code{sawfish.wm.ext.error-handler}). When
loaded it records the most recent errors, and the time at which they
occurred. Use the @code{display-errors} command to display all recorded
errors.

@item Added an option to not save window-history data for transient
windows. Also added a @code{window-history-clear} command to forget
history for all windows.

@item Rearranged window operations menu to hopefully be clearer

@item Attempt to catch and handle errors while loading custom options

@item Labels in menu items can now be functions, they should return the
label text when called (with any menu arguments)

@item Moved installed message catalogues to $datadir/locale

@item @code{defcustom} forms may now a @code{:widget-flags} keyword, a
constant list of symbols passed to the configuration tool. Current
flags include: @code{expand-vertically} and @code{expand-horizontally}

@item Added a @code{sawfish.wm.util.ping} module, it implements the
@code{_NET_WM_PING} protocol of the new window manager spec.

@item @code{destroy-notify-hook} is no longer called asynchronously

@item Bug fixes:

@itemize @minus

@item Fixed various bugs when dragging/resizing windows

@item Reverted the changes to make the click-to-focus click-through
setting apply to window decorations

@item Fixed bug when handling 32-bit data in client messages and X
properties

@item Fixed window-focus problems when switching viewports

@item Many bug-fixes to handling of maximized window state. Maximized
state should now be preserved across wm and session restarts. It's also
saved in the window-history attributes

@item Support the function hints of the MWM window manager properties

@item Updated the @code{sawfish.wm.state.wm-spec} module to match the
current (almost final) draft of the new GNOME/KDE window manager spec

@item Added support for user-levels associated with individual commands

@item The GNOME hints code now understands that the do-not-cover flag
is the same as sawfish's @code{avoid} property

@item Swap properties of sticky windows when entering and leaving
workspaces as for normal windows (fixes the old problem where sticky
windows can grab focus when a workspace is entered)

@item Changed the default settings of some customization options,
hopefully to give a more ``conventional'' feel for new users

@item Better support for Xinerama (Geoff Reedy)

@item Added a new set of window stacking commands: @code{raise-window},
@code{lower-window}, @code{raise-lower-window}. The set of windows
affected by these commands is determined by the @code{user-raise-type}
(either the individual window, the window and any transients, or the
entire group). The old commands of these names are now called
@code{@var{foo}-single-window}.

Most modules now use these commands when raising or lowering windows,
allowing the stacking model to be configured globally.

@item Translation updates: no (Kjartan Maraas), fi (Antti Ahvensalmi),
it (Christopher R. Gabriel), pt_BR (Douglas Moura Ferreira), uk (Yuri
Syrota), de (Matthias Warkus)

@item Fixed bugs:

@itemize @minus

@item If committing changes in the configurator causes new
customization options or groups to be added, update the UI to reflect
this

@item Added code to detect and correct the sporadic bug where windows
become unfocusable in click-to-focus mode

@item Sanitized how the focus gets passed to and from transient windows
(when passing focus back from a transient, give it to the most recently
focused window in the group, not the transient's parent)

Also, try to avoid displaying maximize buttons in windows whose hints
prevent them from being maximized

@item Many fixes to how maximized windows are handled across session
and window manager restarts. Also support GNOME window maximized hints
when windows are created

@item Fixed some bugs in the @code{wm-spec} module

@item Don't trigger auto-raise hooks on leave/enter events generated by
pointer grabs

@item The @code{edge-flip-delay} option now applies when dragging
windows

@item Fixed the preview command in @code{sawfish-themer}

@item Miscellaneous fixes to the ``smart'' window placement modes

@item Fixed type description of @code{persisitent-group-ids} option

@item In @code{enter-exit} focus mode, focus isn't removed due to
enter/leave events due to pointer grabs (fixes the bug with Mozilla URL
completion)

@item Fixed (again) the @code{focus-click-through} behaviour with
respect to frame decorations

@item Re-added hack to make GMC icons unfocusable

@item Fixed interactive placement to check for window destruction
(merlin)

@item Fixed bug with tiled images with shapes (the shape mask would
always be applied an integer number of times, ignoring the size of the
frame part it's associated with)

@heading 0.31

@itemize @bullet

@item Requires librep version @code{0.13}

@item Organized all lisp code into a hierarchy of modules. Root points
are @code{sawfish.wm} for window manager code, @code{sawfish.ui} for
configurator and @code{sawfish.gtk} for GTK+ utilities

Compatibility should have been preserved as far as possible, through
the use of module aliases. The @code{user} module that unmodularized
user code is loaded in should look very similar to the old environment.
However, code using private functions, probably will not work

New features written as modules can either import modules individually,
or just open @code{sawfish.wm} to get the core functionality

@item All command handling is now written in Lisp. It's fully
compatible except for how commands are defined. Since there is no
longer a unified namespace the mapping from names to command
definitions is maintained separately.

@code{define-command} and @code{autoload-command} add entries to this
mapping. @code{define-command} takes a name and a function (and some
other optional arguments). The old style of defining commands still
works, but only in the user module

@item @code{sawfish-client} now provides the same repl as the normal
@code{rep} program. E.g. this allows the module system to be easily
inspected

Also, the module of each loaded theme is available for inspection under
@code{themes.@var{theme-name}}. (With themes using top-level defines
instead of a single @code{let*} block, this is useful for debugging)

@item @code{sawfish.client} module provides lisp functions for
communicating with a running window manager. Also, the protocol has
been modified to support proper communication of errors, which are then
re-raised on the client-side. This should make debugging client-server
code more obvious

@item `Action' parts of menu items may now be lisp objects that don't
have a read syntax. (E.g. this allows closures to be used, avoiding the
problems arising from modularization)

@item Support for checked and radio-group menu items. Also a new
function @code{add-window-menu-toggle} to add items to the
@samp{Toggle} sub-menu of each window

@item Handle @code{ConfigureRequest} events in a way that is compliant
with the ICCCM---honour the window's @code{win_gravity} setting
(defaulting to @code{NorthWest} gravity), instead of assuming
@code{Static} gravity

@item Support more GC attributes in the @code{sawfish.wm.util.x} plugin
(Ryan Pavlik)

@item Support for handling arbitrary windows as extra ``root'' windows.
Used, e.g., to support Nautilus' desktop window. Allows the focus modes
to work correctly

To support this, new window property @code{desktop} denoting a
``desktop'' window; new function @code{desktop-window-p} recognizing
one of these things (or the symbol @code{root})

@item Added @code{pointer-motion-threshold} option. Pointer motion
events are only generated when the pointer moves at this many pixes
away from the position it had when the button was pressed

@item New functions: @code{scale-image}, @code{composite-images}, and
@code{crop-image}.

@item New option @code{maximize-avoid-avoided} (Jonas Linde)

@item New functions exported by @code{sawfish.wm.ext.tooltips} module:
@code{display-tooltip}, @code{remove-tooltip}

@item New function exported from @code{sawfish.wm.viewports} module:
@code{select-workspace-and-viewport}. Renamed some workspace functions:

@noindent
@code{ws-move-window} @result{} @code{move-window-to-workspace},
@code{ws-copy-window} @result{} @code{copy-window-to-workspace},
@code{ws-insert-workspace} @result{} @code{insert-workspace},
@code{ws-move-workspace} @result{} @code{move-workspace},
@code{ws-remove-window} @result{} @code{remove-workspace}.

@item Changed interface of @code{get-visible-window-edges} function to
use proper keyword parameters, and added some new keywords

@item New commands @code{help:about} and @code{gnome-about}. Added a
@code{sawfish-about} script to implement the first of these. Added
associate menu items to the `Help' menu

@item New window property @code{cycle-skip}, defines whether the window
is included when cycling the focused window. (Dave Dribin, me)

@heading 0.30.2

@itemize @bullet

@item Window cycling now forwards terminating events to external
applications as well as internal bindings (e.g. @kbd{M-TAB M-w} closes
an activated Netscape window)

@item @code{quote-event} command now works with applications that
ignore synthetic events (adapted from code by Timo Korvola)

@item Reorganized frame style and window type management. New function
@code{define-frame-type-mapper} allows modules to affect the mapping
from window type to frame type. E.g. the shading module uses this.
(fixes the bug that changing the frame type of a shaded window didn't
work)

@item Added function @code{variable-customized-p}; use this to avoid
redefining user-modified options

@item Do type-directed deep conversion of values when converting
to/from readable representations. This fixes the bug that options with
@code{:type (optional color)} weren't being converted when passed
between the wm and the configurator, leading to reader errors

A side-effect of this is that updated custom files will not be
compatible with previous versions of the wm (though old custom files
will work with new versions)

@item Translation updates: no (Kjartan Maraas), de (Kai Lahmann), nl
(Dennis Smit), sl (Andraz Tori)

@item Added primitives @code{map-windows} and @code{filter-windows}

@item Fixed bug of not retaining focus on startup when originally in
PointerRoot mode and moving to click-to-focus mode (Brad Thompson)

@item Ensure that apps get sent a synthetic ConfigureNotify event after
ConfigureRequest events are handled (fixes bug where menus in Java apps
can appear at wrong position until window is moved)

@item When referencing known variables from subroutines, make sure that
restricted environment doesn't prevent the variable being accessed
(fixes bug where @code{default-bevel-percent} was being ignored)

@item When creating transient groups, don't compare null group ids
(fixes xfmail related bugs)

1@dots{} indexing

@item Fixed non-gnome workspace widget in configurator

@code{lower-window-and-transients} and
@code{raise-lower-window-and-transients},
@code{raise-transients-and-pass-through-click}.

As the normal window stacking commands, but restacks the
``transient-group'' of the window. This includes the window itself and
any transients it has, and any windows that it itself is a transient
of.

These commands are used in the default keymaps

@item Functions that deal with transient windows now understand the de
facto standard of setting the @code{WM_TRANSIENT_FOR} property to the
root window denotes that the window is a transient for the whole group

@item New image manipulation functions: @code{image-ref},
@code{image-set}, @code{image-fill}, @code{image-map}. New color
accessor function @code{color-rgb-8}. New function
@code{root-window-id}

@item Improvements to @code{sawfish-ui}: optionally use some GNOME
widgets, more lisp widget types, some bug fixes

@item New command @code{command-sequence}. Allows individual bindings
to invoke a sequence of commands

@item Options @code{iconify-group-mode} and @code{uniconify-group-mode}

@itemize @bullet

@item Rewrote the configuration user interface. Improvements include:

@itemize @minus
@item Key bindings may now include parameters. E.g. this finally allows
shell commands to be bound to keys using the GUI (use the new
@code{run-shell-command} command)

@item Nautilus-like user-levels to tailor the options shown to the
expertise of the user

@item Options may have much richer type descriptions (including
@code{match-window} options). Also, extra widget types and containers
may be added as extra Lisp modules

@item By default the stand-alone configurator commits changes to the
window manager as they are made, instead of waiting for the @samp{Try}
button to be pressed

@item Added dependences---options with dependences are only editable
when the value of their dependence is non-@code{nil}
@end itemize

@item Rewrote window stacking code to be based on ``stacking
predicates''---functions that accept or reject a possible stacking
configuration. This allows the ``stack-transients-above-parents''
option to work correctly, only keeping transient windows above their
@emph{own} parent windows

@item The configure-event handler now understands and handles the full
complexity of stacking requests (Brad Thompson)

@item New frame-part attribute: @code{scale-foreground}. The
@code{cursor} attribute may now be a function

@item Made the @code{centered}, @code{centered-on-parent} and
@code{under-pointer} placement modes clamp the window into the current
work area (i.e. without overlapping windows that shouldn't be covered).
Added a @code{stagger} placement mode

@item When grabbing window icons to images, preserve their shape masks

@item Moved @code{window-history} options to @code{placement} group.
Fixed some more bugs and sub-optimal default option values

@item Don't set cursors for button classes, use the default value

@item GNOME @code{SKIP_FOCUS} window hint sets @code{never-focus}
property on window, as well as the @code{ignored} property

@item Translation updates: de (Karl Eichwalder), ru (Valek Filippov),
da (Kenneth Christiansen)

@item Added mostly-complete support for using gdk-pixbuf instead of
Imlib (requires an experimental Xlib version of the gdk-pixbuf library)

@item Various bug fixes and other minor changes@dots{}

@end itemize


@heading 0.28.1

@itemize @bullet

@item New options @samp{--visual=@var{TYPE}} and
@samp{--depth=@var{DEPTH}}. These tell the window manager to use a
different visual than the default

@item Made the @code{window-history} module behave more sanely (don't
save iconified or shaded state; include window name when generating
keys for transient windows)

@item Made @code{beos-window-module} the standard window menu (require
@code{old-window-menu} to get the original version). Also made this
display the windows' class names

@item Updated translations: es (Iñaki García Etxebarria), tr (Fatih
Demir)

@end itemize


@heading 0.28

@itemize @bullet

@item New module @code{window-history}---automatically saves window
attributes when they are explicitly set by the user, then copies these
attributes to windows with the same @code{WM_CLASS} as they are
created. This is loaded automatically if you have no @file{.sawfishrc}

@item New method of allowing themes to implement only some of the
(currently) four frame types. The variable
@code{frame-type-fallback-alist} maps each frame type to the type to
try if the original type isn't available in the chosen frame style.

Note that for this to work, themes must return @code{nil} when they
don't support the requested frame type, until now, the convention had
been to return the default frame definition, so most if not all themes
will need changing. (This doesn't include themes created using the
@code{make-theme} module.)

@item Made the metrics used by the @code{best-fit} placement mode
user-controllable. Set the @code{sp-cost-components} variable to a list
of cost functions and the weight to apply to that metric. E.g. by
default it gives 50% importance to the distance from the placement to
the focused window, and 25% each to the distance to the pointer and to
the ``future-unusefulness'' of the area being covered

@item New module @code{beos-window-menu} to redefine the window menu to
group items by the window group that they are a member of (in the
absence of actual group information, it will heuristically build groups
by matching window titles)

@item New option @code{edge-flip-warp-pointer}, whether or not to warp
the pointer after edge-flipping (Paul Warren)

@item New option @code{display-window:uniconify-to-current-workspace},
controls whether windows uniconified by @code{display-window} should be
moved to the current workspace (John N S Gill)

@item Changed method of selecting when to use multi-byte aware
rendering functions (except when initializing the locale fails, or
returns a 7-bit locale); also, when creating a fontset fails, try to
intelligently fall back to a similar group of fonts (Tomohiro Kubota)

@item The @code{x} library now supports creating and then drawing to
pixmaps. The pixmaps can then be grabbed to images using the
@code{make-image-from-x-drawable} function

@item Added a @samp{Help} item to the root menu

@item Translation updates: fi (Antti Ahvensalmi), gl (Jesus Bravo
Alvarez), de (Karl Eichwalder), nl (Jan Nieuwenhuizen), pl (Daniel
Koc), tr (Fatih Demir)

@item Now supports the @kbd{Super} modifier

@item Fixed bug of sometimes ignoring pending X events

@item Fixed bug of calling focus change hooks too many times (only when
our view of the focused window has actually changed)

@item Avoid problems when windows set weird size hints structures

@item Raise windows @emph{after} possibly moving them to a different
layer, when they have been mapped

@item When the @code{cycle-windows} sequence is terminated by an
unknown event, re-handle that event after exiting (so that e.g.
@kbd{M-TAB} can be followed by another @kbd{M-} qualified event without
releasing Meta)

@item New focus handler events @code{enter-root} and @code{leave-root}

@item Removed @code{raise-groups-on-focus} option, it caused unstable

the standard menu items

@item Added some (untested) support for Xinerama: @code{current-head},
@code{current-head-dimensions}, @code{current-head-offset}. Some
placement modes should handle multiple heads sensibly, as should window
maximization and edge snapping.

@item Added icons for GNOME control center applets (all icons by

manager properties as a result. See the @samp{Matched Windows}
customize group

@item Removed all @code{auto-@var{foo}-alist} and
@code{@var{bar}-windows-re} variables, they're obsoleted by the general

@heading 0.14

@itemize @bullet

@item Rewrote window-maximization, many new options

skipping ignored windows)

@item Fix some problems with viewports when exiting/restarting

@item Fix broken stacking of windows after they're mapped

@item Prevent smart window placement blowing up when large numbers of

@end itemize


@heading 0.12

@itemize @bullet

@item Remember most recently focused windows on each workspace,
activate that window after changing workspaces; also, try to preserve
focus when moving windows between workspaces

@item Option to disable auto-raise while cycling through windows
(@code{cycle-disable-auto-raise}); option to restrict cycling to the
current viewport (@code{cycle-all-viewports})

@item Option @code{lock-first-workspace} is now enabled by default, and

@samp{--with-readline} option to configure (from Christopher P Goller
@email{goller@@eng.utah.edu})

@item Added shaped-transient frame to microGUI theme

originally under the pointer that's unfocused, drawn as though it is
focused

@end itemize


@heading 0.11

@itemize @bullet

@item New option @code{lock-first-workspace}, prevent the first
workspace from being deleted when it's empty

@item New option @code{ignore-window-input-hint}, to always give
windows the focus, whether they say they will accept it or not

@item New options when cycling windows: @code{cycle-warp-pointer} and
@code{cycle-focus-windows}

@item Restore the old method of setting the focus, should fix bug of
losing focus totally when switching to a new workspace

@end itemize


@heading 0.10

@itemize @bullet

@item Implemented virtual workspaces, bind to the
@code{move-viewport-@var{x}} and @code{move-window-@var{x}} commands
(for @var{x} being @code{left}, @code{right}, @code{up}, or
@code{down})

@item Added a new theme: @code{microGUI} by Ryan Lovett
@email{ryan@@ocf.berkeley.edu}, based on the QNX Photon screenshots

@item Added a @samp{Grab key} button in the bindings widget, replaces
the current binding with the next pressed key

@item Lisp module to load the GNOME menus and use them to replace the
applications menu. Add @code{(require 'gnome-menu)} to your
@file{~/.sawmillrc} file to load it

@item Network server is disabled by default (since it can provide a
security hole if X access control is disabled); re-enabled the old unix
domain socket code (see the FAQ for more details)

@item Only give the input focus to windows that actually want it

@item New option to keep transient windows above their parents
(@code{transients-above-parents})

@item New option to control how the workspace boundary is handled when
moving windows between workspaces (@code{workspace-send-boundary-mode})

@item New commands @code{send-to-workspace:@var{x}} for @var{x} from 1
to 9

@item While windows are hidden or shaded, unmap the client (for ICCCM
compliance)

@item Slightly different method of handling destroyed clients,
hopefully results in fewer annoying error messages

@item Support X installations without X11R6 session management (by not
doing any session management)

@item Now handles client windows being reparented by a third party
(i.e. swallowing apps)

@end itemize


@heading 0.9

@itemize @bullet

@item The first-fit and best-fit algorithms are now much more
intelligent, e.g. instead of falling back to random placement when a
window can't be placed without overlapping an existing window, they
will attempt to minimize this degree of overlapping

@item The @code{foreground} property of each frame part may now be an
image instead of a piece of text

@item New theme @code{smaker}, uses the foreground images capability to
do a somewhat WindowMaker-like theme (with the absolute-e images). This
theme is extensively customizable---all images, colors, dimensions,
etc@dots{}

@item Use Imlib's fuzzy color matching for all color allocation; this
should help on @code{PseudoColor} visuals

@item Added an @code{xterm} command to launch an xterm

@item Improved the bindings customization widget layout; added a
@samp{Copy} button to insert a copy of the current binding

@item Added @code{next-workspace-row} and @code{previous-workspace-row}
commands. Together with the @code{workspace-columns} variable these
mimic a 2d desktop

@item Removed the @code{cycle-through-workspaces} option, there's now
@code{workspace-boundary-mode}---one of @code{stop}, @code{wrap-around}
or @code{keep-going}

@item Added option to include ignored windows when edge snapping
(@code{move-snap-ignored-windows})

@item Fix race condition between startup of sawmill and gmc; sawmill

attribute while unmapped

@item Fix bug associated with WordPerfect's menu window

@end itemize


@heading 0.8

@itemize @bullet

@item First attempt at best-fit window placement (doesn't really work
properly yet@dots{})

@item Added a customization option to focus windows when they're
un-iconified (@code{focus-windows-on-uniconify})

@item Fix bug in click-to-focus mode where the click is only passed
through to the client window, not to any local bindings of the wm

@item Don't leave windows unframed if there's an error in the user's
startup files

@item Fix bug in @code{preallocated-workspaces} option

@item Don't place windows off-screen in first-fit mode

@end itemize


@heading 0.7

@itemize @bullet

@item Added stack-based window cycling, bound to @kbd{M-TAB} by
default. Hold @key{Meta}, keep pressing @key{TAB} until the correct
window is reached, then let go of @key{Meta}.

@item Added first-fit window placement (a.k.a smart-placement)

@item Completed first stage of workspace rewrite---shouldn't go
ballistic when windows are removed anymore

@item Added @code{override-frame-part-classes} variable---allows all
frame properties to be overridden on a per-class basis

@item Click-to-focus now accepts any button and any modifiers

@item Don't snap to gmc icons or panels

@item Added an @code{auto-window-type-alist} variable mapping window
names to border types

@item New variables @code{eval-modifier-events} and
@code{eval-key-release-events} to allow catching these types of
keyboard events, disabled by default

@item Added functions for actively grabbing the keyboard

@item Removed the long names of the keyboard modifiers, only the single
character modifiers are left

@item If no alt modifier, set it to the same as meta; new variables
@code{alt-keysyms} and @code{meta-keysyms} describe the virtual
modifier assignments

@item Fix bug when handling shaped frame parts---it was possible to go
into a long enter-, leave-notify loop when the old shape was cleared

@item Fix bug where opaque resizing with snap-to-edges on moved the
window as well as resizing it

@item Fix bug when raising the only managed window

@item Fix bug where very small client windows got weirdly shaped
frames

@end itemize


@heading 0.6

@itemize @bullet

@item Define the standard @dfn{classes} of frame parts (i.e. things
like close button, title, left border, etc...) then allow the state of
members of these classes to be set in one place (the
@code{frame-part-classes} variable). This should ensure that different
themes have the same feel (but a feel that may be customized by the
user)

@item Allow frame parts to be removed if possible (if they have the
@code{removable} property). Nothing makes use of this yet

@item Added window-shading, double-click button1 on the title bar

@item Created a sawmill capplet for the GNOME control center. Use the
@samp{--enable-capplet} configure option to build it

@item First attempt at a technical manual (very quickly written, so
probably some inaccuracies)

@item In the @code{gtk} theme, draw bevels on window decorations

@item Use spin-buttons in the configurator to enter numbers

@item Add option @code{focus-proxy-click} controlling whether to pass
the focus-inducing button-press event to the underlying window (in
click-to-focus mode)

@item Changed the bindings in window borders, it's now the more usual
button1 to resize, button2 to move

@item When clicking and dragging windows, ensure that the clicked frame
part stays clicked until the button is released

@item If in click-to-focus mode, and there's no parent window to focus
when the focused window is closed, focus the topmost window (not the
window under the pointer as in the other focus modes)

@item Changing window frames is @emph{much} less ugly, no flicker at
all!

@item Try to optimise window restacking some more

@item Sped up opaque window moving when the position display is enabled

@item Preserve iconified state across restarts

@item Optimise updating the shape of an unframed window (this stops gmc
icons flashing annoyingly)

@item Fix bugs in click-to-focus mode where some windows were
un-focusable

@item Fix bug where cycling through windows in click-to-focus mode
didn't focus the activated window

@item Fix bug where comparing sawmill lisp objects caused a crash

@item Fix bug where initiating a resize in the middle of the window
didn't allow any of the edges to be moved

@item Fix bug where changing the ``decorate transients'' option didn't
alter any existing transient windows

@item Fix bug where iconifying a sticky or ignored window gave no way
of reclaiming it---these windows now appear at the end of the window
menu

@end itemize


@heading 0.5

@itemize @bullet

@item Now does session management. The scheme is extensible, arbitrary
Lisp modules can save and restore window state due to their own
functionality (using the @code{sm-window-save-functions} and
@code{sm-restore-window-hook} hooks). See @file{lisp/workspace.jl} for
an example

@item Displays window position or dimensions whilst interactively
moving or resizing a window (@code{move-show-position},
@code{resize-show-dimensions})

@item Mechanism for setting frame styles on a per-window basis (this
was always possible, just not easy). The @code{auto-frame-style-alist}
variable associates window name regular expressions with frame styles.
Also, the @code{window-ops-menu} has a new submenu with all possible
styles

@item New option @code{preallocated-workspaces}, the number of
workspaces to create at startup

@item Window-workspace mapping is preserved through restart (as long as
the GNOME hints are enabled)

@item Theme directories may contain a short @file{README} file that
will be displayed in the configuration tool

@item Changed the custom file to @file{~/.sawmill/custom} instead of
@file{~/.sawmill-custom}. The old file will be moved to the new
location if it exists

@item Install @file{sawmill-menu} under @file{libexec} since it
shouldn't be run manually

@item Option in @code{gradient} theme to create full-sized gradient
images, trading memory for quality

@item Workaround the flicker when raising windows

@item Changed most of the @code{menus} and @code{custom} customize
options into normal variables (they're not particularly intuitive)

@end itemize


@heading 0.4

@itemize @bullet

@item Frame parts can now be highlighted when the mouse is over them,
also they ``un-click'' and ``re-click'' as the pointer leaves and
re-enters their window. ButtonRelease bindings are only activated when
the mouse is in the window at the time

@item Frame part backgrounds can now be rendered on-the-fly using the
new @code{renderer} property in frame definitions. This property is a
function called with args @code{(@var{image} @var{state})}; it should
draw a background into @var{image} for the specified state (@code{nil},
@code{focused}, @code{highlighted} or @code{clicked})

@item New theme @code{gtk}. This reads the default GTK style and uses
the associated colors and pixmaps to decorate windows. It doesn't try
to handle engine-based themes. It should automatically detect when the
default style changes (if changed by the GNOME control center). Do
@samp{sawmill-client -c gtk-reload-style} in the shell to reload the
style manually

@item Functions for drawing color gradients and bevels into images. The
new @code{gradient} theme uses these and on-the-fly rendering to do
@code{afterstep}-like window titles

@item Configurator changes: use a paned widget to separate the list of
groups from the settings (stops their relative sizes changing), allow
each group to be customized separately, either through a new set of
root-submenus or the commands @code{customize:@var{group}} for each
@var{group}.

@item Changed the way that ``themes'' are organised, each theme now
gets its own directory, which must include a @file{theme.jl} or
@file{theme.jlc} script to initialise a frame-style of the same name as
the directory. While this script is being evaluated the image path is
set so that the theme can load any images stored in its directory.

Also created the variable @code{theme-load-path} containing the list of
directories searched when trying to load a theme. By default it
contains two directories: @file{~/.sawmill/themes/} and
@file{@var{prefix}/share/sawmill/@var{version}/themes}.

@item Resizing now chooses the direction to resize the window in by the
initial position of the pointer in relation to the window. The window
is divided into a 3x3 grid, the pointer must be in one of the outer
rectangles to resize in that direction

@item New commands @code{select-workspace:@var{X}} for @var{X} between
1 and 9

@item Support multiple depths, or layers, of windows

@item It's now possible to move the current workspace up or down the
list of all workspaces

@item New option @samp{-c COMMAND} to @code{sawmill-client}; invokes
the named interactive function

@item When an app asks for no title and no border, give it what it
wants---use the new @code{unframed} window type

@item The maximize button works

@item Option to control placement of transient windows
(@code{place-transient-mode})

@item Changing the frame style preserves the original window stacking
order

@item Added documentation strings for most built-in functions

@item Fix bug of evaluating both KeyPress @emph{and} KeyRelease events

@item Fix bug of making the shape mask of unshaped client windows too
big

@item Fix bug where already-handled BadWindow errors were being reported

@item Fix bug where the @code{window-ops-menu} could be displayed from
one window but then affect a different window

@item Fix bug where click-to-focus doesn't work for new windows

@item Fix bug where deleting the last workspace selected the first, not
the new last workspace

@item Fix bug where changing a colormap when no window is focused
causes a segfault

@item Fix bug where iconifying a window may leave it in the clicked
state after it's uniconified

@item Fix Caps_Lock and Num_Lock modifiers interfering with bindings

@item Fix accessing X properties on 64-bit architectures

@item Fix bug where pointer may be left grabbed after moving a window

@end itemize


@heading 0.3a

@itemize @bullet

@item Support the maximized GNOME window states

@item Where available, show documentation strings of commands in the
configurator

@item Improve the method of handling clicks in frame-parts

@item Fix asynchronous client-server protocol

@item Fix interactive window moving/resizing (don't leave traces of the
rubber-band, stop the window initially ``jumping'' to the pointer)

@end itemize


@heading 0.3

@itemize @bullet

@item Implemented window maximization

@item Added support for snapping to window edges when interactively
moving windows (@code{move-snap-edges} and @code{move-snap-epsilon})

@item First attempt at handling a subset of the Motif and OpenLook
window hints

@item Removed the @code{sloppy-focus} variable, it's replaced by
@code{focus-mode}. This can currently be one of @code{enter-exit}
(normal focus follows pointer), @code{enter-only} (``sloppy'' focus) or
@code{click} (click to focus)

@item When resolving pointer events, scan the @code{keymap} property of
the window under the pointer, not the focused window (as with keypress
events)

@item The @file{sawmill-client} program can now communicate inter-host,
since it uses X properties not raw sockets

@item New hook @code{before-exit-hook}, called immediately before
shutting down

@item Rewrote the GNOME support as a Lisp module

@item Placing windows interactively now works

@item Fixed the bug on Solaris where deleting windows could cause a
segmentation fault

@end itemize


@heading 0.2

@itemize @bullet

@item Added a user-customization system, inspired by Emacs' customize
facility. Invoke this through the @samp{sawmill-ui} program, or from
the @samp{Customize...} entry in the main menu. All changes are stored
in the Lisp script @file{~/.sawmill-custom}

@item Selected windows may now be raised
(@code{raise-selected-windows})

@item It's possible to prevent the mouse pointer being warped to
selected windows (@code{warp-to-selected-windows})

@item The @code{brushed-metal} and @code{simple} themes now define all
four standard frame types

@item Frame themes are now stored in a separate directory
(@file{@var{prefix}/share/sawmill/@var{version}/lisp/themes}) so that
the list of all available themes can be made automatically

@item The frame colors of the @code{simple} frame style can now be
customized (@code{simple-normal-color} and @code{simple-active-color})

@item The @file{sawmill-defaults.jl} script enables GNOME compliance
unconditionally (since it has no ill-effects even if GNOME isn't being
used)

@item Transient windows can be given the same frames as normal windows
(@code{decorate-transients})

@item Newly-displayed transient windows can be automatically given the
focus if their parent window is focused (@code{transients-get-focus})

@item Any newly-displayed windows can be automatically given the input
focus (@code{focus-windows-when-mapped})

@item The @code{foreground}, @code{background} and @code{font}
attributes of each frame part may now refer to a function

@item Fixed the window-move bug whereby the first motion event was
discarded

@item Fixed the bug where windows may be placed partially off the root
window, even if they needn't be

@item Fixed the shaped frame parts bug (they didn't work)

@item Miscellaneous other bug-fixes

@end itemize


@heading 0.1

First proper release
