There's an astonishing number of changes.
Also, we did some changes to make awesome future-proof. With lua 5.2,
module()
was deprecated in lua. Awesome no longer uses this function. However, this
has
user-visible effects. You now need to explicitly assign modules to global
variables:
local awful = require("awful")

The rc.lua is 50 lines longer now. 40 lines of that is due to a titlebar
rewrite. Instead of forcing some kind of titlebars on the user, titlebars
are
now configured similar to wiboxes.

Everyone will hate me for replacing the widget system again, but I do like
the
result. Due to this, everything works differently now. On the plus side, you
won't need to use "mywidget.widget" ever again. :-)

The same applies to this release, too!
Again, there is a wiki page for documenting some changes that affect
configurations. Feel free to update it with any kind of information which
you
would have hoped to find here, but had to figure out the hard way (= asking
me).

As always, we all here at breaking-your-config-WMs would like to thank all
contributors. Without your bug reports, patches, ideas and good questions,
this window manager would suck a lot more than it already does. One thing I
want to highlight: A total of 77 different people wrote patches for this
release!
Have fun!
Uli
