+ion-3rc-20070506
+----------------
+
+This is the first "rc" or "(stable) release candidate" release of
+Ion3. This means that there will not be any further major changes
+to it. Bugs will be fixed, and as an exception to the general
+feature freeze, some hooks may still be added, if deemed useful.
+Translations may also be included. After no new bugs (that can not
+be deemed features) have been found in this or following "rc"
+releases, the stable Ion3 will be released.
+
+Most of the changes in this release to the previous one already
+are bug fixes, in addition to some general clean-up. Other notable
+changes are:
+
+ * Winprop matching improvements: it is possible to match against
+ `is_dockapp` and `is_transient` (booleans), and there's a hack
+ to support `class` and `instance` for dockapps too.
+
+ * The default configuration puts dockapps in the statusbar's
+ tray area.
+
+ * The autoconf kludge has been removed, as I will have nothing
+ to do with it, and nobody else seems to support or maintain
+ it either.
+
+ * Tab numbers are displayed when releasing modifiers in the
+ `Mod1+K` submap.
+
+Distributors should pay heed to the name policy notice in the
+LICENSE file.

+ion-3ds-20070318
+----------------
+
+This may be the last "ds" release if Ion3; if all goes well, the next
+release is likely to be an "rc". Some minor improvements will still
+be done, and minor requests may be accepted, so be quick.
+
+The most notable changes in this release from the previous one are:
+
+ * Transients and queries in too small frames are "unsqueezed" out
+ of them, unless disabled with `ioncore.set{ unsqueeze = false }`.
+
+ * Some changes in default `cfg_ion.lua`: instead of loading
+ various other files, just `cfg_default.lua` is loaded instead.
+
+ * `mod_tiling.untile` (available in the context menu) may be used
+ to decompose tilings into floating frames. (This is the approximate
+ opposite of `mod_tiling.mkbottom` and the "new tiling" context menu
+ entry.)
+
+ * Improved context menus.
+
+ * Slightly improved defaults style, using the drawing engine's
+ added possibility of partial borders.
+
+ * Various fixes and other improvements, in particular in relation
+ to focus code.
+
+
+ion-3ds-20070203
+----------------
+
+ * There's been changes in padding/spacing usage in styles. Frames
+ now surround stuff inside borders not with `spacing` pixels, but
+ with `padding_pixels`. Spacing is only used to space things within
+ the borders (all the tabs and the client window from each other).
+ Consequently, custom styles may need to be updated to reflect this,
+ by increasing the padding, possibly also altering/removing colour
+ (to set it to background colour).
+
+ * The use of drawing engine attributes has also changed, and strict
+ ordering of them in the styles is no longer necessary. Additionally,
+ much more attributes are supported, including the name of every
+ statusbar meter.
+
+ * Xinerama support is gone. In addition to being problematic as such,
+ it had bit-rotted, and I will not waste time fixing it.
+
+ * `ioncore.set` no longer supports the `default_ws_params` parameter
+ for configuring the default layout. It is replaced by
+ `ioncore.deflayout("default", { ... })`, which allows configuring
+ other layouts as well, known by `mod_query.query_workspace` (F9).
+ Some default layouts are configured in `cfg_layout.lua`.
+
+ * It is now possible to automatically create new workspaces for
+ windows with the `new_group` winprop.
