WHAT'S NEW
==========

A core plugin has been added that allows handling certain core APIs, such as
querying the ABI version, similarly to plugin APIs, allowing sharing more
code.

Added a simple object system, which generalize the privates mechanism and the 
plugin system. It allows to share more code between display, screen and 
window objects. It also makes it possible to properly introduce new object 
types without changing the plugin interface or breaking the API.

Multi-display support.

Various fixes in ICCCM compliance, window stacking and focus handling.

Validity checking of ConfigureRequest events.

Fixes to transient children placement in place plugin.

Hooks have been added to the cube plugin which allow better control of
viewport drawing.

Middle and right click actions have been made configurable in
gtk-window-decorator.

Gtk-window-decorator now optionally allows mouse wheel title bar actions, such
as shading.

A KDE4 port of the kde-window-decorator has been added.

Frequent crashes of kde-window-decorator for some people have been fixed.

Regards,

Dennis

      Fix variable naming.

processing focus stealing prevention on _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages.
      We have a CompScreen* variable, use it.
      Update saved window coordinates when window is resized by some client.
      Minor cleanup.
      Clear all coordinates that match the server coordinates from the 
configure request mask to make sure a synthetic configure notify event is 
sent whenever needed.
      We have to send the WM_TAKE_FOCUS message even if we directly set the 
input focus.
      Cleanup.

is on another viewport.
      Set demands_attention hint everytime window focus was prevented.
      Fix typo.
      We don't need to constrain y movement after placing transients.
      Also check if parent's Y coordinate is inside the current viewport.
      Fix typo.
      Don't switch to selected window if switcher was cancelled.
      Allow DnD for scale edges.
      Get rid of cached values for paint modifier options.

      Complete comment.
      Added CompVector type for describing vectors.
      Whitespacing.
      Use CompVector.

into a separate function.
      Move restacking due to focus stealing prevention to 
updateWindowAttributes function.
      The sibling found by findSIblingBelow might already be the active 
window, so include it in check.
      The display dbus path is now "display", no longer "allscreens".
      Wrap setOptionForPlugin function.
