WHAT's NEW
==========

New plugin "obs" that handles opacity, brightness and saturation
bindings
and matches.

Put unresponsive window greyout, including options to configure it, to
fade plugin.

Add "constant fade time" fade mode to fade plugin.

Removed opacity bindings and matches from core. Users that entered
opacity
matches should enable the obs plugin and enter the matches there.

Enhanced timer infrastructure to allow synchronization of execution of
multiple timer callbacks.

Added matching for window's alpha channel (match type rgba=[0|1]).

Reflect new Metacity "spacer" button type in gtk-window-decorator.

Various bugfixes.

Translation updates.


Regards,

Danny
