3 * There's been changes in padding/spacing usage in styles. Frames
4 now surround stuff inside borders not with `spacing` pixels, but
5 with `padding_pixels`. Spacing is only used to space things within
6 the borders (all the tabs and the client window from each other).
7 Consequently, custom styles may need to be updated to reflect this,
8 by increasing the padding, possibly also altering/removing colour
9 (to set it to background colour).
11 * The use of drawing engine attributes has also changed, and strict
12 ordering of them in the styles is no longer necessary. Additionally,
13 much more attributes are supported, including the name of every
16 * Xinerama support is gone. In addition to being problematic as such,
17 it had bit-rotted, and I will not waste time fixing it.
19 * `ioncore.set` no longer supports the `default_ws_params^N parameter
20 for configuring the default layout. It is replaced by
21 `ioncore.deflayout("default", { ... })`, which allows configuring
22 other layouts as well, known by `mod_query.query_workspace` (F9).
23 Some default layouts are configured in `cfg_layout.lua`.
25 * It is now possible to automatically create new workspaces for
26 windows with the `new_group` winprop.

32 Mostly this release still fixes issues in the big 3ds-20061015 release,
33 but in addition there are some improvements in the query department:
35 * Query activation key now cycles completions (So e.g. the
36 in the context menu activated with META+M, this same key
37 can be used to cycle through the alternatives.) This does
38 not work for queries activated by submap bindings.
40 * Likewise, it is no longer necessary to specify the key to
41 use for cycling for `mod_menu.grabmenu`.
43 * Control+R can now be used for history completion in queries.
44 (Currently matching is done for full string up to 'point', but
45 this may be changed to substring match.)
47 * Note that the parametrisation of WEdln.complete has changed,
48 and the second cycle parameter must be 'next' now instead of

61 * WIonWS and WFloatWS and the corresponding modules are also gone, and
62 your custom configuration files will be broken with regard to these.
63 However, a partial backwards compatibility hack exists for layout
66 The F9 and META-F9 bindings now by default create workspaces with
67 a tiled layout of two frames. To create an "empty" workspace,
68 corresponding to the old WFloatWS, use the context menu (META-M)
69 and chose "new-empty-workspace". It is also possible to change
72 * Note that if you restart from an old version to this new version of Ion,
73 transients will stop working as expected for already existing windows.
74 They will work for newly-created windows, however.
76 * There are a few new sets of binding (including one for ^WClientWin!),
77 and some old bindings may not work exactly as expected anymore. In
78 particular, those for switching to full-screen mode.
81 It is probably best to start from scratch with your custom bindings.
84 * ^WFrame.set_tabbar is gone. If you absolutely want to get rid off
85 the tabs, you must change the frame's "mode" with ^WFrame.set_mode.
86 The mode "tiled-alt" has been intended for this, and the corresponding
87 "framed-tiled-alt" style defaults to ^Bar = "none".
89 * The rather popular ^Detach.lua script from the scripts repository
90 is obsoleted now, as Ion includes detach functionality in itself.
91 To detach a window, use META-K D in the default bindings. To tile
92 an existing from an a workspace that doesn't have a tiling yet,

99 * Changes in the set of configuration files.
101 - cfg_ion.lua now simply load cfg_ioncore.lua and cfg_modules.lua
102 with the default set of modules, and includes some of the most
103 commonly changed options commented-out. This deprecates cfg_user.lua
104 - cfg_menus.lua and cfg_bindings.lua are now cfg_ioncore.lua. This
105 better matches how things for different modules are in their own

112 * The scrachpad class was removed. The scratchpad is just a normal frame
113 now, with a few special attributes. Your scratchpad configuration from
114 the layout savefile will be lost (and complained of). A new one should
115 open with the toggle key.
117 * There's generic size policy code that both mplexes and client windows
118 use (for transients). The default size policy for (framed) transients
119 keeps them glued to the borders they're touching even if the parent or
120 they themselves are resized (unless this could not be done because a
121 small size and position are requested).

127 * Those with custom configuration files should note that many exported toggle
128 functions were changed and renamed, and now accept a string parameter
129 incidating whether to toggle, set or unset the property.
131 - WClientwin.set_fullsreen (replaces WClientWin.toggle_fullscreen)
132 - WRegion.set_tagged (replaces WRegion.tag/untag/toggle_tag)
133 - WFrame.set_tabbar (replaces WFrame.toggle_tabbar)
134 - WFrame.set_shaded (replaces WFrame.toggle_shade)
135 - WFloatFrame.set_sticky (replaces WFloatFrame.toggle_sticky)
136 - WMPlex.l2_set_hidden (replaces WMPlex.l2_hide/show)
137 - mod_sp.set_shown(_on) (replaces mod_sp.toggle(_on))
138 - mod_dock.set_floating_shown_on (replaces mod_dock.toggle_floating_on)
139 - WRegion.set_activity (replaces WRegion.clear_activity and
140 WRegion.notify_activity)
142 For example, WRegion.set_tagged(_, 'toggle') should be used in place of
143 WRegion.toggle_tagged(_) now.
