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
+ pop up manual page wmi(1) within xterm when wmi is started first
+ moved actions detail description to actions.conf file

really have big information value for those who don't know neither B nor C.
s/minimalistic/minimalist/ in DESCR, the former is not really an english word.

WMI is a new window manager for X11, which combines the best features of
LarsWM, Ion, TrsWM, evilwm and ratpoison into one window manager.
WMI is new: it is developed from scratch wit h C++ without any ancient code
and design dependencies to antiquated window managers.
WMI is minimalistic: it has no build- or runtime dependencies except the C++
Standard Template Library (STL) and the X11 Library (XLib).
WMI is highly customizable: it is designed with keyboard users in mind. Each
action (e.g. resizing the frame, creating a new workspace, launching an app,
note that WMI provides hundreds of actions) can be bind to a shortcut. So say
good-bye to the rodent :)
