7 * Updated de_DE translation 7 * Little simplification of data structure for keybindings (Mark)
8 * Added EUC-KR to ko_KR encodings 8 Side effects:
9 * startfluxbox aware of --program-prefix and --program-suffix 9 - "Mod4 a b" now behaves like "Mod4 a None b" -- in fact, "None" is now
10 * More ewmh support: _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG and 10 completely obsolete
11 _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS are now supported. 11 - You can press "Escape" to cancel any Emacs-style keychain in progress

20 settings. 20 - new "Transparency" menu in the window menu
21 * Automatic conversion for unknown encodings (if supported by host) 21 - new apps file attribute:
22 [alpha] {int int} (or just {int})
23 Where numbers represent focused and unfocused transparency,
24 respectively. One number only will be used for both.

26 * Added resource and menu item for maximizing over external tabs
27 * Renamed session.screen*.iconbar.deiconifyMode to
28 session.screen*.userFollowModel (Mark)
29 This resource is used for:
30 - clicking a window on a different workspace in the iconbar
31 - _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages where the source is a pager
32 - clicking a client in the workspace menu (and the opposite is used for
33 right clicks)
34 Possible values are:
35 - Follow: go to the workspace of the selected window
36 - Current: bring the window to the current workspace
37 - SemiFollow: act like Current for iconified windows, else Follow
38 - Ignore: leave it alone
39 * Added support for negative arguments to the `Tab' key command to count
40 backwards from the last tab in the group

42 layer as the focused window,syntax is :Minimize (layer)

44 - now support `background: mod' to coincide with fbsetroot -mod --
45 In addition to `background.color' and `background.colorTo', this option
46 must also set `background.modX' and `background.modY' to integers
47 - added `background: none' for styles that do not include a background
48 - fixed bug with style backgrounds not getting set when changing styles
49 - updated default styles to be valid wrt background options
50 * Update window transparency immediately when using pseudotransparency,
51 also introduced new key command: SetAlpha [[+-]<int> [[+-]<int>]]
52 - with no arguments, returns the focused window to default settings
53 - with one argument, changes both focused and unfocused settings the same
54 way
55 - with two arguments, the first changes the focused alpha, and the second
56 changes the unfocused alpha
57 E.g. SetAlpha 127 +5 will set the focused alpha to 127 and increment the
58 unfocused alpha by 5 (until it reaches 255)
