Hi folks, we finally did it, Sawfish 1.10 "Soundtropolis" is now available!
Special Thanks
=========
* fuchur
* Jose A. Ortega Ruiz
* everyone else who contributed to this release
Highlights
======
* bugfixes in tabs / SawfishConfig and more
* tiling. Thanks to the awesome work done by Jose A. Ortega Ruiz Sawfish is now
a
stacking / tiling hybrid. The NEWS contains example configuration.
* sawfish.wm.prg: integration of external applications into Sawfish /
SawfishConfig (trayer,
xmobar, xmodmap, xsettingsd, xgamma, fehlstart, pancake), see docs/AUTOSTART
for
more information about them.
* compton integration. Thanks to fuchurs mind-reading capatibilities the
compton
compositing manager now neatly integrates with Sawfish / SawfishConfig,
allowing you to
change most options for compton directly from SawfishConfig.

NEWS
====
1.10 "Soundtropolis"
====================
* Updated or New dependencies
- PangoX: no longer required
* Bug Fixes
- Always rebuild the list of marked windows 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 different 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 disappear 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]
- Fixed remembering all window properties after switching
workspaces [fuchur]
* New Features
- Tiling. [Jose A. Ortega Ruiz] [Christopher Bratusek] here 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 (master) window on the left, small
windows on the right
'col-tile': tile windows as columns (recommended for
multi-head configurations)
;; Example Tiling configuration in Sawfish's resource file
(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)
- 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 'sawfish-config' it is also possible to change most
compton options directly from within Sawfish. [fuchur]
- Make '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 loosing
keyboard input) [fuchur]
- 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]
