Changes in stable release 2.6.7 (06-Nov-2016)

• New fvwm features:
  • A new default configuration which is available when fvwm
    doesn't detect a configuration file to load.
  • A new conditional command "Desk n" can restrict matching
    windows to a specific desk.
  • A new conditional command "Screen n" to restrict matching
    windows on a given Xinerama screen.
  • New expansion variable "w.screen" to ascertain the Xineram
    screen number a window is on.
  • New command "InfoStoreClear" to remove all items in the
    InfoStore.
• Removed features:
  • The old and unmaintained debian/ and rpm/ directories have
    been removed; use the maintainers' copies where available.
  • VMS support has been removed.
  • GTK1.x support has been removed.
  • GNOME-specific window hints (pre-EWMH) have been removed.
  • Some fvwm modules have been removed:
    • FvwmDragWell (no replacement)
    • FvwmGTK (no replacement)
    • FvwmSave (no replacement)
    • FvwmSaveDesk (no replacement)
    • FvwmScroll (no replacement)
    • FvwmTabs (no replacement, never worked anyway)
    • FvwmTaskBar (use FvwmButtons)
    • FvwmTheme (in core of fvwm as colorsets)
    • FvwmWharf (use FvwmButtons)
    • FvwmWinList (use WindowList command)
    • FvwmWindowMenu (use WindowList command)
    • FvwmIconBox (use the IconBox style instead)
• New module features:
  • FvwmButtons learned a new option "Colorset" to its
    ChangeButton command.
• fvwm-menu-desktop updated:
  • Renamed default menu to XDGMenu and changed the name
    of the FvwmForm to FvwmForm-XDGMenu-Config to not conflict
    with someone already using FvwmMenu.
  • fvwm-menu-desktop will now load defaults from the
    FvwmForm-XDGMenu-Config data file.
  • Improved dynamic menus by regenerating them on-the-fly.
  • Added new options: --regen-cmd, --dynamic, and more.
• Bug fixes:
  • A bug introduced in 2.6.6 could cause applications with
    negative coordinates to be placed at strange positions. This
    affected for example acroread when switching to fullscreen
    mode. This has been fixed.
  • FvwmButtons "Silent" option for dynamic ChangeButton commands
    no longer loops infinitely.
