## Noteworthy fixes
|
||||
|
||||
* Some applications such as VLC and Terminator had large unpainted areas
|
||||
* The magnifier layout has been fixed
|
||||
* Un-maximization misbehaved
|
||||
* Docking area is now per-tag again
|
||||
* CMake missing dependencies detection is fixed
|
||||
* Support for FreeBSD and OpenBSD have been restored.
|
||||
* Dialog and transient window can be moved to other screens again
|
||||
* The fallback mode (when Awesome fails to load `rc.lua`) is now more robust
|
||||
|
||||
## Behavior changes
|
||||
|
||||
This is a stable release and we tried to minimize any upgrade impact. However
|
||||
various bugfixes induced minor, not noticeable, changes:
|
||||
|
||||
* HiDPI support fix changed the default theme "taglist square". This is only
|
||||
true if the original theme file is used (not a copy).
|
||||
* Maximization now honor the screen padding. There is an option to restore the
|
||||
previous behavior.
|
||||
* Un-maximized clients are now restored to their current screen instead of the
|
||||
screen where they were maximized.
|
||||
* Hotkey popup no longer enable the Vim module by default due to user
|
||||
complaints
|
||||
|
||||
`awful.util` has been split into multiple modules in the `gears` library to
|
||||
reduce the dependency graph. This allows for better unit testing. `awful.util`
|
||||
will be deprecated in Awesome v5. For now, it is still safe to use it. However,
|
||||
new code should use the functions from `gears` instead of `awful.util`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Other
|
||||
|
||||
* The minimal LGI version is now 0.8.0. It was found that Awesome 4.0 also had
|
||||
an issue in the menubar module when used with 0.7.3.
|
||||
* GTK+3 is now required to run the integration tests.
