2 This is the announcement of VTWM 5.4.4, an upgrade of the recently released
3 VTWM 5.4. The web page, http://www.visi.com/~hawkeyd/vtwm.html, has been
4 updated, and the archive may be found via a link there, or directly via FTP
5 at ftp://ftp.visi.com in the /users/hawkeyd/X directory, and ftp://ftp.x.org
6 in the /contrib/window_managers directory (if and when they move it there
7 from the /incoming directory).
9 The major changes, in a nutshell:
10 - Squashed two big bugs, involving pan distances and monochrome GCs, that
11 would crash VTWM. Many other nuisances exterminated, too.
12 - The border drawing code [finally] renders the top segment of the border
13 when using 3D squeezed titles, and now correctly renders small windows.
14 - Enabled a resource to go easy on colormap allocations.
15 - Added a resource for highlighting icon manager entries, independant of
16 the border highlighting resource.
17 - Simplified parameter enterpretation for SqueezeTitle list entries.
18 - The startup sequence now searches for user and system .vtwmrc files,
19 then user and system .twmrc files, in this order.
20 - Color image (XPM) support for icons.
21 - An up-to-date man page, and support for HTML and Postscript conversions.
22 - Many additions and fixes to improve portability and operability.
24 For those that may not know, VTWM 5.4 is an update of the venerable window
25 manager that features a fully configurable 3D interface, as well as many
26 other bells, whistles, and, of course, bug fixes.
