Compiz 0.8.4 is released!
This is the second stable release of Compiz 0.8 series. This release brings two
new plugins, translation updates, many bug fixes, improved stability, and
better screen resolution change handling. Also included is additional
integration work for KDE 4. In particular, window thumbnails are now supported
in Plasma window tooltips with the new KDE compatibility plugin, the KDE 4
window decorator has been ported to KDE 4.3, and there is a new Compiz
configuration back-end for KDE 4. A fully detailed changelog is available below.
The Compiz 0.8.4 tarballs are available at http://releases.compiz.org/0.8.4/ .
You can verify these tarballs using the sha1sums in
http://releases.compiz.org/0.8.4/compiz-0.8.4.sha1 , which are
signed by Compiz Fusion Release Team GPG key (C2B8F46E) at
http://releases.compiz.org/0.8.4/compiz-fusion-0.8.4.sha1.asc .
Please note that each component is also available in his own directory in
http://releases.compiz.org/components/ .

Full changelog:
core:
-----
Adel Gadllah (4):
Add gconf-2.0 to module list, required for gnome-2.27+
gnomecompat: Default to gnome-terminal for terminal key binding
Never unload plugins passed to the cmdline
Avoid adding core twice to plugin list
Christopher Williams (1):
When a user tries to resize by clicking on the center, don't pass the
input down to the window.
Danny Baumann (30):
Post-release version increment.
Don't take screenshot if Escape was pressed.
The screenshot plugin needs an image loader to write out png files,
reflect that in the metadata.
Allow overriding the placement mode on a per-window basis.
Pixmaps created using glXCreatePixmap must be destroyed using
glXDestroyPixmap, not glXDestroyGLXPixmap (according to GLX 1.4
spec, section 3.4.2).
Revert gravity adjustment made at MapRequest time at UnmapNotify time.
Support _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS client message.
Make setting the supported atoms list wrappable and use that for
advertising support for _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS.
Advertise that we're supporting full placement.
Merge branch 'compiz-0.8' of git+ssh://git.compiz.org/git/compiz/core
into compiz-0.8
Fix double free.
Fix up coding style, add some comments.
Make variable and command line option naming a little more obvious.
Minor coding style adaptions.
Make sure findValidStackSibling below doesn't return a sibling that
we're not allowed to stack under. If the passed sibling window is
not allowed to stack under the passed window, returning any window
under sibling would result in an invalid stacking order.
Fix sibling checking logic.
Coding style fix.
Merge branch 'compiz-0.8' of
git+ssh://maniac@git.compiz.org/git/compiz/core into compiz-0.8
Short cut placement output determination if there is only one output.
Added option for placing newly mapped windows under the pointer.
Minor cleanup.
Change focus after restacking so the new stacking order is used for
XSetInputFocus, if necessary.
Check returned geometry for validity prior to using it.
Revert "Update client list after unhook/insert."
Fix typos.
Minor coding style fixes.
Fix assertion if core is specified as plugin on the command line.
Crash fix. ws->grabWindowWorkArea is assumed to be non-NULL if
wd->yConstrained is set to TRUE, so better initialize it to FALSE.
Minor stilistic changes.
Optimizations. Also assign constrainY variable if move isn't loaded or
the grab is non-external.
Also set constrainY to FALSE if move isn't loaded instead of keeping
its old value.
Dennis Kasprzyk (8):
Added support for QT 4.5 raster graphicssystem.
Support Qt 4.4
Added KAboutData
Port of KDE4 window decorator to KDE 4.3.
Added missing files.
Fixed mouse wheel calculations.
Revert "Add swapbuffers and vsync_wait options"
Fixed initial size problems.

resize,wobbly: Obey move's constrain_y option.
switcher: Minor coding style change.
Initialize gl function pointers as NULL.
Fix crash when glGenerateMipmapEXT is unavailable.
Constrain resizes to screen edges.
Don't constrain y on key/button move/resize.
Minor coding style change.

Link pthread (protobuf >= 2.1.0 needs it).
place: Fix typo.
place: Improve resolution change handling.
wobbly: Update snapping when "snap inverted" option value changes.
Fix inaccessible windows when reducing num. of viewports.
