· Iconbar (for minimized/iconified windows) | [See screenshot: Minimized/iconified icons]
· Wheel scroll changes workspace
· Configurable titlebar (placement of buttons, new buttons etc) | [See screenshot: Titlebar]
· KDE support | [See screenshot: KDE Support]
· New native integrated keygrabber (supports emacs like keychains)
· Maximize over slit option
· Partial GNOME support
· Extended Window Manager Hints support
· Slit dockap ordering
· Other minor features
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Changed syntax for window cycling. Instead of bitmask, the window cycling functions takes a list of options enclosed in {} followed by pattern, similar to those used in the apps file.
· Added new placement policies {Row,Col}MinOverlapPlacement. They behave the same as {Row,Col}SmartPlacement when the window fits but fall back on minimizing overlap with other windows instead of CascadePlacement.
· New options to client patterns: - focushidden - fullscreen - head - iconhidden - layer - minimized - maximized - shaded - stuck - transient - urgent - workspace - workspacename
· New commands: - Attach - ClientMenu - Delay - Focus - ForEach - GoToWindow - If - StartMoving - StartResizing - StartTabbing - SetDecor - SetTitle - SetTitleDialog - SetLayer
· New modifiers to keys file: - OnToolbar - OnWindow - OnTitlebar - Double
New resources: - session.screen.tabs.usePixmap: - session.screen.maxIgnoreIncrement: - session.screen.noFocusWhileTypingDelay: - session.screen.maxDisable{Move,Resize}: - session.screen.slit.acceptKdeDockapps:
· New Resize modes: NearestEdge, Left, Right, Top, Bottom.
· Style changes: New window.label.(un)focused.{justify,border{Color,Width}}, which fallback to window.label.{justify,border{Color,Width}} before - this has the backwards-incompatible effect that toolbar.iconbar.(un)focused.* fallback first to toolbar.iconbar.* and then to window.label.* window.{justify,border{Color,Width}} New style items: window.(un)focus.border{Width,Color}
· New or updated translations: - de_AT - de_CH - mk_MK - zh_TW
