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 &#39;Escape&#39;.




     - 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.
