wmi-10:
* cycling workspaces focusses the last focussed client
* toggle-statusbar-mode for displaying client title instead of
workspace pager and detached-clients, useful for long client
names

arbitrary action names in a comma separated list for the startup.chain,
default is single "rehash" action
* removed groups
* renamed ex-floatbar into clientbar
* renamed toggle-status-mode into toggle-clientbar-mode
* improved mode pager button on client bar, filled means that there're
clients attached, unfilled means, no clients attached
* removed statusbar.status-width option which is calculated now
automatically
* renamed toggle-focus-mode into toggle-mode
* new menu button on new clientbar
* new menu for fast selection of clients and fast attaching detached
clients, also for fast action invocation
* new common.conf option 'menu.actions' for actions definition
within menu
* applied several patches by Dr. Pfefferl
* fixed BUG-24 (label overlapping)
* fixed toggle-max issues
* removed cycle-frame-*
* fixed bar and button sizes
* new theme colors for focus requests
color.focusreq.background
color.focusreq.text
color.focusreq.shine
color.focusreq.shadow
* changed default theme to zahod's industrial theme contribution
* implemented race prevention for EnterNotify's of sloppy focus stuff
with floating clients
* fixed broken destroy-* actions
* improved sticky handling, now sticky does not mean raised on top
* detached clients will get attached again after restart
* fixed following BUGS
BUG-51 (detaching firefox crashed wmi)
BUG-50 (endless resizing due to missing increment hint handling)
BUG-49 (destroy action have been broken)
BUG-39 (don't run startup.chain on restart) -> invalid, no bug
* implemented new actions 'hook-client' and 'unhook-client' which
make it possible to hook clients to specific workspaces
* Eliminated several BadWindow and BadMatch occurences
* autocompletion.mode option of common.conf reappeared, now
with two possibilities - 'default' and 'regex'
* improved menu with missing button functions, especially right click
on workspace items or clients (middle button click now inserts cut
buffer into client)
* new action 'toggle-sloppy-mode' which toggles the sloppy focussing
on the fly
* removed resize-move.info option, because bar is not supported anymore,
be a fan of pseudo resize info centered within pseudo client borders
* implemented meters controlled by wmiremote with special syntax -
wmiremote -m #,#,...
* Marcel implemented regexp support for input mode, just compile wmi
with --with-posix-regex and set autocompletion.mode=regex in
common.conf to enable it
* new slot.tabs entry for common.conf to create several slot tabs, use
this option like slot.tabs=default,icq,dockapps
* renamed toggle-client-bar into toggle-clientbar

to also support stacked tabbing for frames, detached, floating and sticky
clients
* slot raises on every mode change action
* shortcut handling is now improved
* new widget class for menu, slot and bar with default methods
* WM_TRANSIENT_FOR is taken into account now when setting maximized/float
settings for new windows through a patch by Ryan Sorensen
* new default.transient-mode={float,max} for default placement of
transients
* some general transient fixes
* sloppy focus focusses windows only, not raising them (raise with
click instead)
* slot improvements finished now - new cycle-slot-tab-prev/next
actions, implemented focus for slot, now you can easily focus an
slot app through mouse-over (enter) events
* toggle-mode now validates if senseful (if no client is attached
within the specific mode, toggle-mode is invalid)
* new colors for meters -
color.meter.background
color.meter.figure
color.meter.border.shine
color.meter.border.shadow
* new default.bar-mode={show,hide} and default.border-mode={show,hide}
options for common.conf to show hide borders/bars of
clients/frames by default
* implemented slot.mode={overlap,non-overlap} to get a
(non-)overlapping slot
* implemented '~' expansion for input mode
* new kill-slot-client action for killing focussed slot client
* new regex-mode for the input-line. compile with '--with-posix-regex'
and turn it on in common.conf with 'autocompletion.mode=regex'
* WMI shows a special box now when awaiting more keystrokes
(e.g. in sequential shortcut chains)
* implemented raise action, this fits better with current focussing
model (to prevent FocusOnClick if a client is already focused)
* mouse shortcuts are only allowed in single shortcuts or shortcut
chain prefixes but not in chain shortcuts
* improved shortcut handling with following ratpoison-alike
behavior - if you press same keystroke of a shortcut chain twice,
it'll send to the client (instead processed), this works only with
shortcut chains, not with simple shortcuts
* fixed several bogus window occurances
* removed slot.adjustment property - slot now always is adjusted
top-down (because of new overlap mode this is needed/simplified)
* renamed bind-keys action to bind-shortcut
* new action toggle-shortcuts implemented which ungrabs all
keybindings, except itself and inputmode keybinding until next
toggle-shortcuts action
* slot now takes only the height it needs (especially useful for
overlap mode of slot)
* implemented new select-monitor action for multihead configurations
* renamed attach-client to attach-last-client
* new attach-client action which provides a list of all detached
clients in input mode
* splitted color.meter.figure into three new colors as follows -
color.meter.figure.high (>66)
color.meter.figure.normal (<33)
color.meter.figure.low (else)
* improved wmiremote -m syntax, now wmi understands
wmiremote -m '!80#apm' as color negation from high to low or
vice versa
* applied Johann Pfefferl's patch which fixes
BUG-03 (if frame is resized over boundaries it gets obscured)
* fixed slot toggling bug reported by Kathryn Andersen
* lower has reappeared as Kathryn requested
* improved select-frame-* policy which prefers last directional
focussed frame before lowest distance policy (was a feature
request by grayrest)
* IconicState apps are started detached now
* reenabled slot solid filling till down bar when slot.style=solid
and slot.mode=non-overlap options are given in this specific way
* hook-client now works also for slot-tabs (you've to explicitly
focus the slot'ed client to hook it to a specific tab)
* action grab-move implemented which is bound by default to
mod1+Button1 to grab floating clients for moving (useful if
titlebars/borders are hidden)
* normalized the meter syntax from NN# to NN% (% is new
delimeter)
* frame.colwidth option for tiled mode (1..99)
* frame.autodestroy option for autodestroying frames (empty
frames are allowed now) ('yes' or 'no')
* frame.mode option which takes 'tabbed' or 'tiled' as argument
* toggle-tiled and zoom-client actions for tiled mode
* fixed slot persistence bug
* fixed frame resize related problems on workspace change
* new colors for tiled definitions
color.tiled.shine.focussed
color.tiled.shadow.focussed
color.tiled.shine.normal
color.tiled.shadow.normal
* closed open bugs, most are fixed, some multihead issues and some
fullscreen issues still exist
* updated manual pages

Noted by Jean PEYROUX in private mail.
The WMI Team is proud to announce the long awaited wmi-8 release which comes
with many improvements, code refactorings and bug fixes.
Note: If you're user of gcc-2.95 make sure to add:
bar.buttons=no
to your $HOME/.wmi/common.conf file in order to get WMI up and running.
Changes:
========
+ select-client action for monitor-wide fast focussing of clients
+ cycle-frame action readded for cycling frames
+ toggle-frames action added for toggling frames
(older raise-all-frames has been removed)
+ cycle-group action added for group based cycling
- cycle-prev/next removed
+ attach-all-clients action implemented which attaches all detached
clients to the current workspace
+ changed tab colorization of unfocussed clients of the active group
to a different default than unfocussed clients of inactive groups
+ dynamic border width configuration for frames and clients
+ toggle-border(s) actions for toggling the border on the fly
+ new stacking order remebering of all WMI objects (clients,
frames, groups, workspaces) implemented
+ unfocussed-groups.mode option for common.conf implemented (this
option has two modes (show/hide) which is used for default hiding
other (unfocussed) groups
+ toggle-unfocussed-groups action which toggles the visibility of
unfocussed groups implemented
+ lock implemented using lock.password common.conf property
+ sticky group (monitor-wide) implemented with new actions
+ sticky-client action implemented which makes a client sticky
+ unsticky-client action implemented which resets a sticky client
to normal floating state
+ added frame.buttons option to common.conf for frame button visibility
+ applied Marcin Pawliks control keys patch for input mode
+ applied Markus Lindorfers patch for Solaris support
+ implemented Xft support
+ implemented new shortcut handling with abstract syntax
{extern,intern,chain}..keys=[+::]*+
+ implemented new option 'default.client-mode' to common.conf
which sets the default mode for unknown apps.
+ wmiremote -p pretty prints current key bindungs of running WMI
session as ASCII art to the terminal
+ implemented mouse-wheel based workspace and group cycling
+ eliminated various compiler warnings (mostly unserious ones)
+ destroy-action for self-defined chain and extern actions implemented
+ implemented select-frames action
- removed autowarping the pointer
+ drastic code size optimizations (removed useless inlines,
made unsigned to explicit unsigned int, etc.)
+ renamed toggle-frames to toggle-focus-mode
+ renamed toggle-client-state to toggle-client-mode
+ new default key bindings only using alt+<...>, shift+alt+<...> and
ctrl+alt+<...>
- removed detachAllButton from floatbar (consistency reasons)
- removed all left frame buttons
+ close button now scales better by big fonts (only 3 pixel center)
+ toggle-focus-mode button in floatbar now gives feedback about
active mode like (overlapping=floating/non-overlapping=maximized)
+ implemented bigger tolerance for diagonal resize pointer
+ new slot behavior for NeXTish dockapps (gkrellm experimental)
removed slot.width and slot.justification, fast invocation menu
not implemented yet, cause this should be done externally
- removed autoraising of grouped clients if a floating client
is attached/focussed
+ ICCCM overwork (should solve most known BUGs)
+ focus clients through click into client area with alt key pressed
+ written welcome section in wmi(1) manual page for newbies
