Date:  Mon, 1 Nov 2004 08:46:41 -0700

* What is it ?
==============

Metacity is a simple window manager that integrates nicely with
GNOME 2.

* What's changed ?
==================

This is an unstable release heading towards Gnome 2.10.

Thanks to Rob Adams, Anders Carlsson, Elijah Newren, Soeren Sandmann,
and Vincent Untz for fixes and features in this release.

 - Add a keybinding to launch a terminal (Vincent) [#154232]
 - Correct the requested number of keycodes (Rob) [#155247]
 - Add tracker bugs to rationales.txt file
 - Make the "showing desktop" mode be per-workspace instead of
   per-screen. (Elijah) [#142198]
 - Don't try to use an ARGB visual at all if the depth isn't
   32-bit. This caused major slowdowns with Composite
   enabled. (Anders)
 - Fix the modifier key breakage introduced by an Xorg
   change. (Soeren) [#151554]
 - Update _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN so the pager on the panel will know
   whether to display windows as visible or hidden (Elijah) [#105665]
 - Fix the alt-tab order--if the most recently used window is not
   focused, start alt tabbing with that window instead of the one
   after it (Elijah) [#156251]
 - Don't lower newly mapped windows when they're denied focus if they
   are transients of the focused window.  Instead, defocus the
   currently focused window (Elijah) [#151996]
 - Re-enable focus stealing prevention (Elijah)
