What's new?
===========

1.10.99 "Carrera Rapida"
========================

    * Bug Fixes

         - Fix possibly wrong 'input-focus' from 'enter-*' focus-modes in
           tabbed-windowing.  [fuchur]

         - Properly support tabbed-windowing when tiling is active
           aswell.  [fuchur]

         - When installing manpages the 'mandir' from configure is now
           honoured.  [Christopher Bratusek]

         - Fix handling symbol-type defcustoms in sawfish-xgettext,
           preventing generation of new sawfish.pot.  [Christopher
           Bratusek]

    * New Features

         - 'CTWM' like interactive window placement.  Previously pressing
           any button while interactively placing a window would place
           it.  'Sawfish' now mimics 'CTWM's behaviour: pressing button 1
           will just place the window, button 2 will allow dragging to
           resize the window and place it when the button releases,
           button 3 will place the window and attempt to fill it to the
           screen bottom.  [Maxime Soulé]

         - Add ability to move tabs around in the titlebar.

         - Add 'marked-cursor-shape' defcustom (used when marking windows
           for tabbing).

    * Miscellaneous Changes

         - Improve 'cabinet' window-switcher.  Code-cleanup, bug fixes,
           blacklisting applications (mostly panels, pagers) and icon for
           missing window-icons.  [fuchur]

         - Enable 'shade-hover' and 'auto-raise' in SawfishConfig,
           utilize them in tabbed-windowing.

         - Improve icon size in StyleTab, add 'Flat' style.  Also improve
           speed and decrease memory usage by mirroring images [fuchur]

         - Use 'menulibre' instead of 'alacarte' in XFCE and MATE
           integration by default [fuchur]

         - Do not let 'xfce-session' save the session (by adding '-f'
           flag in XFCE integration) [fuchur]

         - Tweak default compton settings.  [fuchur]

         - Improve doc strings in many modules [fuchur]

         - Add 'html' target to man/Makefile, creating html-documentation
           [Christopher Bratusek]

         - Add 'make-changelog' script by Marcus D. Hanwell (generates
           ChangeLog from git log) [Christopher Bratusek]

         - Updated german translation.  [fuchur]

         - Updated RPM spec file.  [Kim B. Heino]

         - Updated Debian packaging scripts.  [Christopher Bratusek]
