Hi,

Just to announce NsCDE 2.1:

This release fixes some glitches and bugs accumulated during the
transition from 1.X to 2.0, but it has also some new features:

- Qt5 widgets now have dinamically generated Kvantum engine
  which can be choosen in Color Style Manager as alternative to
  the gtk2 connector oriented engine. This works well, but
  glitches may still be expected even after tests with many
  Qt5 and modern KDE applications. It will improve during the
  time. It is perfectly usable.
- Key bindings set mechanism introduced. For now, there is only
  one set defined: default (nscde). This enabled NsCDE in future
  versions to implement standard key binding sets as IBM CUA
  standard or some other custom set.
- Color templates for Konsole and Qterminal - Qt5 based terminals
- New colormgr.local is simplified and can call functions from
  the <prefix>/share/NsCDE/config_templates/colormgr.addons.
- FVWM3: EwmhBaseStruts now follows Front Panel if it is moved
  across monitors.
- FVWM3: default root setter fvwm-root can be replaced by specifying
  InfoStore variable rootsetcmd in user's ~/.NsCDE/NsCDE.conf
- Sysinfo dialog now correctly displays NsCDE version after update
  and dynamic restart of FVWM.
- Initial bootstrap wizard backs up user's GUI widget configurations
  such as gtkrc and qt5ct.conf if they exist before changing them.
- Fix some polkit agents start/restart
- Updated documentation
