But the Changelog which we have is somehow a fixup for having
used CVS, so that authorship was screwed. There are things like:

- fixed issue with icon colors on big endian platforms
  (Max Loparyev <[email protected]>)
  
and we already have something much better to do this (git log).

What we need is something talking about the new stuff, like this

 * New window resize features:
   
     1. Ctrl+wheel will do this and that etc.
     
     2. Left/right maximization. Now wmaker supports maximizing
        a window to the left/right part of the screen occupying
        50% of the area. It can be configured with a keyboard
        shortcut in WPrefs.
        
     3. A new tiled maximization, configured with a keyboard 
        shortcut. Using it will maximize the window to the greatest
        area such that it will not overlap any other window of the
        same workspace.

  * New attributes:

     1. New attribute in 'Advanced options' to avoid wmaker to
        change workspaces automatically to satisfy a focus
        request on another. That is useful if you don't want
        wmaker to change to another workspace automatically
        if there is a firefox with more than one tab openning
        somewhere else.
        

I don't know, something like this will be useful when we
all are old and our memories start failing and we don't know
anymore what wmaker has to offer. Or to a newbie wanting
to take a look at wmaker.

Sometimes I find myself in the middle of "Oh, I didn't
know wmaker could do that this way".
