- item UTF-8 Support in GTK Widgets [Christopher Bratusek]
+Windows can be ``tabbed'', or multiple windows bound to one, sharing
+size and frames. It's still under development (sorry). For instructions,
+see our wiki site @url{http://sawfish.wikia.com/Tabs}.

- item Improved KDE3 Integration [Timo Korvola]
+Improvements in focus are done from which KDE users will benefit.
+Some new windows can receive focus. Some undesired focus transitions
+to desktop windows are suppressed.
 
- item Replaced hardcoded focus logic by focus-revert function [Timo Korvola]
+In enter-exit and enter-only focus modes, enter-notify events caused
+by grab/ungrab are ignored. This has a bad side effect, too.
 
- item Tabbed Windowing Support: Raise Tabs on hover [Christopher Bratusek]
+In lisp, replaced hardcoded focus logic by @code{focus-revert}
+function. Previously, action when the focused transient window is
+unmapped was not handled by focus modes, but coded elsewhere. Now
+ code{focus-revert} event is invoked, and passed to focus modes. (For
+detail, Input Focus.) This makes the modes' policy clear, and
+programmable.

 @item Shrinking/Yanking Support [Timo Korvola]
 
- item Infinite Desktop Feature (make the virtual desktop bigger than the physical) [David T. McWherter]
+Shrink and yank are commands to reduce overlap with other windows ``by
+one'', with a motion in direction left/right/up/down. ``Shrink''
+commands move one edge of the window to shrink, and ``yank'' commands
+move the window.
+
+To use them, put @code{(require 'sawfish.wm.commands.shrink-yank)} in
+your configuration file, and use the configurator GUI to bind commands
+to keys.
+
+ item ``Infinite Desktop'' Feature [David T. McWherter]
+
+It makes the virtual desktop bigger than the screen, actually so big
+that there's no limit. You can scroll it with mouse continuously in
+natural manner.
+
+This is in contrast to the coventional viewport; it scrolls
+by a step of one screen size. Thus it may not work so well with
+viewports.
 
- item Make Viewport commands appear in Sawfish-UI [Christopher Bratusek]
+To use it, put @code{(require 'sawfish.wm.ext.infinite-desktop)} in
+your configuration file, and use configurator GUI.
 
- item Make Window History appear in Sawfish-UI [Christopher Bratusek]
+ item In configurator GUI, viewport commands and history appear. Under matched-window, fixed-position, never-iconify, never-maximize are available. [Christopher Bratusek]
