 Thanks to Jordi Mallach, Padraig O'Briain, Rob Adams, Julio Merino,
 Ben Jansens, Jurg Billeter, Ray Strode, marcus@freebsd.org, James
 Laska, for contributions to this release. Thanks also to 
 all the tireless translators.

 - fixups to .desktop file
 - activate window prior to grab end, avoiding
   extra focus events
 - add support for partial-width panels (fixes corner panel 
   and xinerama window position constraints)
 - added keybinding to toggle window as "always on top"
 - support --disable-schemas-install option to configure
 - destroy support for legacy GNOME 1.x hints; metacity 
   no longer works with GNOME 1.x
 - disable raise-on-click for mouse focus modes
 - fix bug that broke many Javascript popup menus with mozilla
 - allow "shaking loose" maximized windows, to move them 
   between Xinerama heads or whatever
 - honor desktop-wide double click timeout
 - handle window placement properly for windows that 
   start out maximized
 - integrate Ximian patch to go ahead and log out after 4 minutes
   even if a dialog is open
 - fix a segfault
 - fix bug where window groups weren't always kept up to date
 - fix bug where focus got confused when switching workspaces
   with mouse focus mode
 - fix 64-bit crash on s390x
 - chdir to user's homedir on startup
 - keep window in fullscreen layer when its transients are focused
 - fix keybindings bug when you had ScrollLock enabled
 - many translation updates

2.5.2
===

 Thanks to David Santiago, Julien Olivier, Anders Carlsson, Rob Adams
 for fixes in this release.

 - improved wording/UI for some dialogs
 - while clicking a window button, if you move the mouse outside 
   the button such that releasing the mouse button won't activate 
   the window button, visually indicate by "popping out" the button.
 - fix some valgrind errors
 - change "show desktop mode" to convert to "everything is minimized
   mode" if you open a new window while showing desktop, rather 
   than previous behavior of simply leaving show desktop mode.
 - fix a trivial memory leak
 - change "move to workspace N" so it doesn't switch workspaces, 
   just moves the window.
 - translation updates

2.5.1
===

 Thanks to Rob Adams, Peter O'Shea, Dafydd Harries, Masahiro Sakai, 
 Soeren Sandmann for fixes in this release.

 - fix bug where fullscreen windows were below top panels
 - build fix for Solaris
 - support diagonal window movement with numeric keypad
 - multihead fix
 - build fix for Cygwin 
 - place on xinerama containing the pointer
 - fix totally hosed window placement/movement for frameless
   windows
 - improvement to smoothness of window move/resize

2.5.0
===

 Thanks to Rob Adams, Owen Taylor, Frederic Crozat, Arvind Samptur,
 Bill Haneman, Akira Tagoh for help with fixes in this release.

 - many new translations
 - fix an infinite loop while holding a server grab triggered by 
   some recent Qt versions doing weird stuff
 - fix bug where Alt+rightclick repeatedly on titlebar resulted 
   in zillions of menus
 - fix Alt+Tab to *actually* put minimized windows at the end, 
   though this was always intended
 - rewrite size/positions constraint code (currently known 
   to be quite buggy, e.g. xmms is hosed)
 - enforce size of at least 1x1 on windows
 - reduce latency of managing new windows still further 
   by using async properties code in more places
 - don't grab keybindings on docks, so gnome-panel 
   can handle them
 - suck in the panel's screenshot and run dialog global 
   bindings
 - lots of improvements to window placement
 - sync max number of workspaces with pager applet
 - fix to keep focus when inside window frame in 
   strict mouse focus mode
 - make it possible to start a reverse tab with 
   shift+alt+tab (vs. alt+tab then shift)
 - fix a multihead issue with constraints between two 
   windows on different heads
 - require GTK+ 2.2.0 and fontconfig
 - default theme is now Simple
 - add visual bell feature
 - incorporate many fixes from 2.4.34
 - other stuff

2.4.13
===

 - we were making all dialogs skip the taskbar, even non-transient 
   ones, though this was supposedly fixed a while ago. Now really
   fixed.
 - change back to Alt+click by default for the window drag feature.
 - assign Alt+F12 to shade window
 - fix not deleting enough workspaces when the number 
   was reduced via the pager config dialog (readams@hmc.edu)
 - don't allow windows under the top panel ever, even if they 
   are tall windows (Arvind)
 - fix up the window layout for directional workspace nav, 
   so you always stop at the edges and always end up 
   where you expect (hp, with tweaks from readams@hmc.edu)
 - focus new windows in mouse focus mode (readams@hmc.edu)
 - support xeyes, oclock, etc. by applying shape mask 
   to the window manager frame (yeah it resizes slow, deal)
 - fix vertical/horizontal maximize
 - handle crossing events resizing for more opaque resize goodness
   (Soeren)
 - add wacky _METACITY_UPDATE_COUNTER experimental extension 
   to do nice opaque resizing (does nothing without a GTK patch)
 - fix a crash setting workspace names
 - fix internationalized WM_NAME reading
