for resize for consistency with move +- Be more permissive toward stick/unstick (bug #2735) +- Ignore focus stealing prevention between windows of the same group or + between windows that have a transient relationship. +- Rework grab release (bug #2694) +- Fix display of ARGB32 windows with compositing enabled but without + compositor active (bug #2710). +- Apply NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION changes (otherwise it breaks xfwm4 + demand attention mechanism), but do not obey client state change requests + for NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION if the client is already focused. +- Apply patch from Mike Massonnet that fixes an error in Stonage decoration + theme (Bug #2696) +- Do not apply NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION if client is already focused, as + some apps seem to request NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION state even while + focused (See comment #14 in bug #2678) +- Set the demands attention flag with focus prevention enabled only (Bug #2678) +- Update the NET_WM_STATE when the client requests an update of + NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION (Bug #2678) +- Focus the internal fallback window + when focus is transfered to a window that doesn't have InputHint set but + still use WM_PROTOCOLS_TAKE_FOCUS (ie, there is no way for the window + manager to tell whether or not the client will accept focus in the end + since focus is set by the client alone through the 'take focus' mechanism) + (Fix bug #1853 without breaking bug #2410) +- Fix redraw problem with compositor +- Update application icon asynchronously to avoid queuing useless icon updates + (Ubuntu/Launchpad bug #61424) +- Fix user focus timetamp being falsely reset to 0 causing some windows to be + started un-focused (Bug #2664), re-add some traces (which compile with + -Werror this time), small code/api cleanup. +- Remove shadow on dock-type windows (bug #2648) +- Prevent fullscreen windows from beeing maximized (Bug #2663). +- Use timestamp provided by NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW and NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP messages + from EWMH version 1.3 and above, fix focus transition with + NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP messages causing either flickering or wrong restacking + on workspace switch (bug #2654), +- Quit nicely when MANAGE client message is received, so that xfwm4 obeys to + ICCCM2 standard (bug #2374) +- Fix demands attention being activated when it shouldn't +- Improve focus stealing prevention. +- Auto-maximize regular windows only. +- Be a lot more paranoid about what broken apps set as struts. +- Plug a huge X resources leak in handleMappingNotify () (bug #2618) +- Do not prevent stick when skip taskbar is set +- Re-enable focus passing to previously focused window (req. on ML) +- Focus windows that raise themselves if focus stealing prevention is + disabled, and set demands attention flag otherwise, that should improve + focus prevention. +- Keep focus on sticky windows only for regular windows w/out skip + taskbar/pager property (Bug 2603) +- Improve resize (Bug #2597) +- Be more permissive with resizes towards struts (Bug #2597, bis), optimize + shape use. +- Fix off-by-one causing windows to be moved wrongly via keyboard + (patch from Darren Salt (bug #2594) +- Enter key doesn't work for "Add keybinding theme" dialog (Bug #2560, patch + by Brian Tarricone +- Use focus pending with with apps that use WM_FLAG_TAKEFOCUS protocol too + (Bug #2561) +- Hide as more windows when showing desktop (Bug #2518) +- Don't skip windows that have the skip pager/taskbar properties when + searching for windows below the pointer (bug #2550) +- Fix focus transitionning to root taking into account the pending focus too, + so that focus doesn't return to the fallback internal window when it should + return to some other client window (like when an application closes with a + modal dialog opened). +- Check for valid transient or modal when switching workspaces, to avoid + missing windows to unmap (bug #2518). +- Use X server time to restore focus when sent to the root window (bug #2472) + +3.99.2 (rc2) +============ + +- Add new option to enable/disable borderless maximization (Bug + #2257). +- Rework keyboard shortcuts grabs, saving a lot of grabs and fixing + keyboard shortcuts not working on shaded windows (Bug #2291). +- Fix compiler warning when build w/out compositor support (Bug + #2335). +- Fix restore of original size/position of maximized windows + restored by session management, do not match windows that aren't + placed by the WM, that avoids some misplacements.). +- Add cancel option when cycling (Bug #2373). +- Add new window operations menu shortcut (Bug #2400). +- Set focus on desktop with showing desktop (Bug #2410). +- Improve workspace switch, reduce expose events (Bug #2409). +- Improve focus transition (Bug #2408). +- Rework error handling in pixbuf loading, fixes a crash. +- Do not raise on WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property change, required for + Java 1.6 (Bug #2483). +- Add support for XSync protocol. +- Add support to NET_WM_MOVERESIZE. +- New SVG based default theme (using PNG for speend and + compatibility although xfwm4 is able to use SVG theme), previous + theme renamed as
