6 windows and have Mod1 (Alt) free for using blender or Maya. 6 * _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR
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
12 * Native Language Support: 12 (unless it's bound to something else)
13 * Was broken in 1.0rc 13 - If there is a conflict between bindings, the first one in the file wins
14 * New menu items to specify encoding of enclosed labels: 14 - Fixes handling of keychains like "Mod4 a Mod1 b"
15 [encoding] {UTF-8} 15 - Should fix some issues with "None" modifier
16 ... (menu) ... 16 * Updated following translations:
17 [endencoding] 17 pt_PT, es_ES, es_AR, pt_BR, de_DE, nb_NO
18 We recommend that all automatic menu generation programs use this 18 * Support per-window transparency settings.
19 around their output to ensure portability between user locale 19 ( sf.net patch #1511042, feature #1108692 )
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.
25 - Also, show toggle status for shade and stick in window menu.
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
41 * Added option to :Minimize key command to lower all windows in the same
42 layer as the focused window,syntax is :Minimize (layer)
43 * Several changes for background style option:
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)
59 * Made some changes to the way autogrouping in the apps file works
60 - Introduced new syntax [group] (workspace) to group new windows only with
61 windows on the current workspace.

64 and Matteo Galiazzo)
