spectrwm 3.0.0
==============

Released on May 2, 2016

We are proud to release spectrwm 3.0.0. Only one major new feature was added
this release that should make spectrwm less quirky when using poorly written,
old X11 and java applications. With the addition of reparenting spectrwm is
now all grown up! In addition, spectrwm is now nearly ICCCM and EWMH compliant.

Minor features/enhancements:

* Add [Online manual](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/conformal/spectrwm/blob/master/spectrwm.html)
* Add fullscreen_toggle action (_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN)
* Send window to next/previous regions workspace
* Add support for _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS

As usual, a bunch of little, and not always obvious, fixes went in as well.
See commit logs for details.

Enjoy!

  the focused window.
* Change floating indicator in bar to also show 'm' for maximized state.

  - Add support for NETCURRENT DESKTOP.
  - Add support for NETDESKTOP_NAMES.
  - Add support for NETNUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS.
  - Add support for NETCLIENT_LIST. Windows are sorted according to
    NETCLIENT_LIST at start.

  - Add support for NETRESTACK_WINDOW.
  - Add support for NETWM_DESKTOP client message.
  - Improve handling of NETWM_STATE_FULLSCREEN.
  - Fix support for NETWM_NAME.
  - Change iconify to use NETWM_STATE_HIDDEN instead of SWMICONIC.
  - Add NETWM_FULL_PLACEMENT to NETSUPPORTED.
* Add new reorder stack action for floating windows. Reorder floating windows
  by using swap_next/prev without affecting tiling order.
* Deny NETACTIVE_WINDOW ClientMessages with a source type of 'normal'. Focus
  change requests that are not a result of direct user action are ignored.

* Disable floating_toggle on fullscreen layout.

* Fix LD_PRELOAD error on Linux. Note: On 64-bit Linux systems, if LD_PRELOAD
  isn't a relative/absolute pathname to libswmhack.so, then ld.so attempts to
  load a 32-bit version for 32-bit programs. This produces an error message.
  The solution is to either build and install a 32-bit libswmhack.so.0.0 or use
  an absolute/relative path so that ld.so only loads libswmhack.so for 64-bit
  binaries.
* Update OSX Makefile.


spectrwm 2.4.0
==============

Released on Nov 15, 2013


spectrwm 2.3.0
==============

Released on Apr 29, 2013

* Added ability to move/resize floating windows beyond region boundaries.

  is less than boundary_width distance beyond the edge.
* Added new boundary_width configuration option. Disable the 'soft boundary'
  behavior by setting this option to 0.
* Added ability to set tile_gap to negative values. This makes it possible for
  tiled windows to overlap. Set to the opposite of border_width to collapse
  borders.
* Fixed floating window stacking order issue on multiple-region setups.
* Fixed crash on maprequest when WM_CLASS name and/or instance isn't set.

* Added details to the man page and spectrwm.conf on how to disable/override
  the default programs.
* Change key grabbing to only grab ws binds within workspace_limit.
* New QUIRKS:
  - NOFOCUSONMAP: Don't change focus to the window when it gets mapped on the
    screen.
  - FOCUSONMAP_SINGLE: When the window is mapped, change focus if it is the
    only mapped window on the workspace using the quirk entry.
* New ws_next_move and ws_prev_move bindings to send a window to the next/prev
  workspace and switch to the workspace.
* Fix fullscreen layout stacking issue when running with multiple regions.
* Fix input focus issue with multiple regions when changing region focus with
  the keyboard.
* Fix manual focus mode; pointer motion over an empty region no longer changes
  region focus.

    MOD-Shift-b.
* New argument variables for program spawn:
  - $region_index
