Look at how the GlobalOpts works in the manpage -- whilst I don't suggest we list every single change in that way, it's one possibility. All really that needs to be done is in the code for FVWM generate deprecation warnings. In the manpage add a description detailing the fact that command negation now works thusly: !foo -- and any commands in use which use "NoFoo" to negate the command "Foo" should be changed to "!Foo". > or even something like: > > These negation styles are deprecated.
