+
+2.91.5
+======

+  cycle_group in both Mutter and Metacity. [Owen]
+* Add new frame states for tiled-on-the-left and tiled-on-the-right [Florian]

+ 636083 workspace: Consider text direction when switching
+ 636301 Port testgradient example to GTK3
+ 636302 Replace some GDK X11 calls with future-proof ones
+ 636491 valgrind: meta_window_shape_new (meta-window-shape.c:79)
+ 637802 ui: Adapt to GDK API changes
+
+2.91.3
+======
+
+* Better shadows: [Owen]
+   - Shadows can be different for different window types and focus states
+   - Shadows are larger by default, especially for the currently active
+     window
+   - Shadows for attached modal dialogs and menus are drawn not to
+     overlap the attachment point.
+   - Shadows follow the shape of shaped windows
+ * Optimization: [Owen]
+   - Avoid repainting in situations when windows are potentially restacked
+     but aren't actually restacked.
+   - Pay attention to partial stage repaints in obscured window calculations
+   - Better optimization of painting obscured shadows; turn off shadows
+     for maximized windows.
+   - Move background repainting into Mutter; doing it here rather than
+     in plugins allows not painting obscured parts of the background.
+ * A new frame type 'attached' is added for attached modal dialogs
+   and can be referenced in theme files with a theme version of 3.2.
+ * Fix updating key bindings when the keyboard layout changes
+   [Derek, Owen, Thomas]
+ * Bug fixes [Adel, Florian]
+ * Build fixes [Dan Williams, Diego, Javier, Owen]

+* Add missing values in MetaKeyBindingAction - this fixes a problem where
+  key binding lookup wasn't working properly for some key bindings. [Dan]
+* Remove keysym parameter to meta_display_get_keybinding_action() - the
+  function expected the default keysym for the keycode to always be passed [Dan]
+* Clean up installed header files - in particular, theme-parser.h is merged
