News in 1.0rc:
   * External tabs are back.
      - option in Configure menu to enable/disable
        No restart required.
   * Added support for following atoms:
       _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE
       _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION (flashing titlebar/iconbar)
       _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS
       _NET_WM_ACTION_
       _NET_WM_STATE_MODAL
       _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH
       _NET_RESTACK_WINDOW
      For a complete list of supported net wm atoms
      go to: http://www.fluxbox.org/docs/ewmh-support.html
   * Added new commands:
     * ToggleCmd
       Works like a macro but executes the commands one at the time in order.
       Example:
       Mod1 T :ToggleCmd {Exec xterm} {NextWindow}
       When Mod1 T is press the first time it will start xterm, the second
       time it will do NextWindow. When it reaches end it will start at the
       beginning.
     * CloseAllWindows
       Closes all windows.
   * Supports urgency hint ( flashing titlebar/iconbar )
   * Pressing shift while pressing enter in menu item will fake a right mouse
     button press. Useful for increase/decrease values in menu.
   * Updated documentation
   * Flashing titlebar/iconbar when the window demands attention with urgency
     hint or using _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION.
     The blink rate can be configured with the following resource:
     session.screen0.demandsAttentionTimeout: <timeout in milliseconds>
     Default value is 500.
     If the value is zero this feature will be disabled.
   * Better UTF-8 handling
   * fbrun: Move the cursor to the end when tab completing
     (rfe #1333003, patch #1475578)
   * Added option to reverse desktop wheeling (patch #1034287)
     session.screen0.reversewheeling: true|false
   * Vertical toolbar is back.
   * Provide "Key Modes"
     - New action in keys file:
         Modifier Key :KeyMode &lname> <end Modifier> </end><end Key>
       Will define a key binding namespace activated by the given mod/key
       combination. The End Modifier and key are optional. They define
       the key combination that quits the given key mode. They default
       to just 'Escape'.
     - New keys file optional prefix:
         <name>: Modifier Key :Command
       will only work when the </name><name> keymode is activated.
     - </name><name> is  "default" if not specified - so:
        **default commands will not be activated inside another keymode**
     - Handy Example:
        Mod1 X :KeyMode XNest
        XNest: Mod1 X :KeyMode default
       Will switch to XNest keymode when you press Alt-X. Then the
       default bindings will not be caught by normal fluxbox, and will
       pass through to an Xnested one! Groovy... Alt-X will switch back
       to normal.
Bug fixes:
   * #1475268(patch) Fix occasional highlighting of menu nops+separators
   * #1474722(patch) Focus singular windows on a workspace

   * #1359442 Fix system tray resize looping/livelock
   * #1467871 Fix type of last_release_time, affected double click functions

   * Fixed resize box bug, it had wrong size in some cases.
   * Fixed bug with horizontal maximization when quadrant resizing
   * Fixed transparency on multiple screens & possibly bad root bg atom
      reading

Enjoy,
The Fluxbox Team

    Nice…

    The dark ages were caused by the Y1K problem.

    It is easier to fix Unix than to live with NT.
