Application
===========

sawfish 1.2

   * Added an `OPTIONS' file describing the variables that may be
     customized

   * Some drawing optimizations: don't reinstall frame shape at each
     redraw, turn off graphics exposures in all contexts

   * Added a cache for X properties to minimize server round-trips

   * Added support for Xft fonts

   * Color objects now store alpha as well as rgb data

   * Support useful parts of 1.1 NET WM spec; also fixed some bugs /
     omissions in support for 1.0 spec (e.g. `_NET_WORKAREA')

   * Support for two dimensional workspace layouts and edge flipping
     (Michael Toomin)

   * Translation updates (Dmitry G. Mastrukov, Jordi Mallach, Vincent
     van Adrighem, Christian Rose, Stanislav Visnovsky, Daniel Yacob,
     Andras Timar, Sava Chankov, Christian Neumair, Peteris Krisjanis,

   * Bug fixes:

        - Don't pass null pointers to `accept ()'

        - Stacking list assertions no longer abort execution, they just
          print an error message

        - Handle minimum-size hints that are zero

        - Understand the Pango font names that the Gtk2 font selector
          uses

        - Fixed bugs when iconifying sticky windows

        - When servicing configure-window requests, respect the window's
          locked dimensions. Also handle moving in only one direction

        - `grow-pack' bug fixes (Daniel Pfeiffer)

        - Fixed some problems with fullscreen mode

        - Fixed some problems in the Gtk2 config tool
