New in Fluxbox 1.3.2 (Oct 31, 2011)
- After a very successful participation in GSOC2011 (we will report more soonish) and right before we are starting our (slow turning, point taken) engines to integrate the result of the two GSOC2011 projects into the main line (which might be a bit bumpy), we wanted something more stable for you.
- Both Pavel and Gediminas, our GSOC2011 participants, contributed to this release all over the place. Most notably, Gediminas added ARGB32 visuals to fluxbox (so, yes, your cairo-dock now looks awesome again). And Gediminas cleaned up some gory old code mess and fixed some crashes along the road.
New in Fluxbox 1.3.0 (Feb 21, 2011)
- Added support for bidirectional text, #2801836.
- Allow to override 'Focus New Windows' via .fluxbox/apps
- New actions:
- ActivateTab
- ArrangeWindowsVertical
- New 'MoveN' and 'ClickN' action support for keys file
- New focus model 'StrictMouseFocus'. This will affect focus when closing, moving, lowering windows, changing desktops, etc, whereas the 'MouseFocus' model will only change focus when you move the mouse.
- New "background: unset" property for use in overlays.
- Allowing relative paths for background images in style files.
- Allowing matching screen number in ClientPattern.
- Removed rootcommand from init, as fbsetbg is run automatically nowadays.
- Removed line style resources from init file.
New in Fluxbox 1.1.0 (Sep 3, 2008)
- 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
