1.9.91 "Steam Train"
====================

   * Updated or New dependencies
        - PangoX: no longer required

   * Bug Fixes
        - Always rebuild the list of marked winows in tabs when closing
          a marked window.  [fuchur]

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

        - 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 diffrent framestyles) [fuchur]

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

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

        - 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]

        - When a windows 'max-width' or '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]

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

        - Fixed non-working '$height-content' and '$width-content' in
          the mxflat theme [Robert Zenz]

   * New Features
        - Tiling.  [Jose A. Ortega Ruiz] [Christopher Bratusek]
          Currently this module is under testing.  There are still minor
          hickups, but both 'tall-tile' and 'col-tile' are working (see
          also 'lisp/sawfish/wm/tile/readme.org'):

          'tall-tile': one big window on the left, small windows on the
          right 'col-tile': tile windows as columns (recommended for
          multi-head configurations)

               ;; Tiling
               (require 'sawfish.wm.tile.tile)
               (tall-tiling 0 #:width 1.75 #:top 0 #:bottom 0 #:gap 3 #:max 3 
#:right nil #:resize t)
               (col-tiling 0 #:top 0 #:bottom 0 #:gap 3 #:cols 3 #:resize t)
               (bind-keys global-keymap
               	   "C-S-KP_Add" 'increase-max-windows
               	   "C-S-KP_Subtract" 'decrease-max-windows
               	   "C-M-KP_Add" 'increase-cols
               	   "C-M-KP_Subtract" 'decrease-cols
               	   "C-M-Right" 'tall-rotate-right
               	   "C-M-Left" 'tall-rotate-left
               	   "C-F11" 'next-tiling)

        - Completeley revised '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]

        - External Application modules.  Those modules allow handling,
          setting-up external application during a sawfish session.  See
          'AUTOSTART' for additional notes on them.
             ++ 'trayer' module.  Handles a 'trayer' (a system-tray)
               instance during a sawfish session.  [Christopher
               Bratusek]

             ++ 'xmobar' module.  Handles a 'xmobar' (an on-screen, very
               flexible bar, monitoring whatever you like) instance
               during a sawfish session.  [Christopher Bratusek]

             ++ 'xmodmap' module.  Allows reading '~/.Xmodmap' on
               startup of Sawfish.  [Christopher Bratusek]

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

             ++ 'xgamma' module.  Allows changing display's gamma
               settings on startup of Sawfish.  [Christopher Bratusek]

             ++ 'fehlstart' module.  Handles a 'fehlstart' (a simple,
               but yet flexible application launcher) instance during a
               sawfish session.  [Christopher Bratusek]

             ++ 'pancake' module.  Handles a 'pancake' (a simple desktop
               panel with pager, window-list, taskbar, tray) instance
               during a sawfish session [Christopher Bratusek]

   * Removed Features
        - Removed 'sawfish.wm.ext.expose' in favour of much more
          advanced tiling-functions.  [Christopher Bratusek]

   * Miscellaneous Changes
        - Updated 'Elberg-tabbed' and 'gradient-tabbed' for tab-system
          as of Sawfish 1.9.1 [fuchur]

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

        - Improved default keymap for 'titlebar' and 'tabbar'.  [fuchur]

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

        - Give the 'root-window' the property ''WINDOW_MANAGER' on
          startup with value 'sawfish'.  [Christopher Bratusek]
