15 I am announcing the (unofficial) release of vtwm version 5.2.1. It's
18 ftp.x.org:/contrib/vtwm-5.2.1.tar.gz
20 As far as changes from version 5.2 to version 5.2.1 go, they are mostly a few
21 aesthetic and look-and-feel hacks and a couple of bug fixes.
23 I would really like input as to how you like the changes I made.

29 MINOR NEW FEATURE (I can't say it's a big deal)
30 -----------------------------------------------
31 Natural Autopan Behavior
33 By default, when autopanning, the pointer is warped by only
34 (AutoPanBorderWidth + AutoPanExtraWarp) pixels on the real
35 screen. With this option turned on, the pointer is warped by as
36 many pixels as the screen is scrolled, or by the above number of
37 pixels, whichever is greater. Thus, the pointer will not
38 actually move very much (only by AutoPanExtraWarp) in relation to
39 the virtual desktop. This works very well on faster X terminals,
40 although I can't say the same thing for slower ones (but setting
41 AutoPanWarpWithRespectToRealScreen may do a good job).
43 NEW VARIABLES to play around with
44 ---------------------------------
45 AutoPanBorderWidth <pixels>
46 AutoPanExtraWarp <pixels>
47 AutoPanWarpWithRespectToRealScreen <N>
50 NaturalAutopanBehavior
51 # synonymous with ``AutoPanWarpWithRespectToRealScreen 100''
53 RealScreenBorderWidth <pixels>
54 RightHandSidePulldownMenus
56 OTHER HACKS AND BUG FIXES
57 -------------------------
58 Supports negative and `0,0' door geometries. [ bug fix ]

62 DISCLAIMER: I am not the official maintainer or central programmer of vtwm,
63 but there isn't one anyway; I just made a few bug fixes, played with the code
64 to make it a little bit more `configurable' in certain areas, and decided to
65 see what *you* think of the changes I made. I also don't know much about X
66 programming, but the changes I made to vtwm haven't caused any major damage
