Some general text about Awesome v4.4 should be here. Hopefully someone will
notice that it is not yet here before we release...
This document was last updated at commit v4.3-148-g795c792d1.
## New features
* Lua code can interact with the selection contents via the new
`selection.acquire`, `selection.getter`, and `selection.watcher` objects
* Pending delayed calls (`gears.timer.delayed_call`) can be dispatched via
`gears.timer.run_delayed_calls_now()`
* `naughty` was rewritten TODO TODO say more about this TODO TODO
* The `rules` argument in `awful.spawn.once` and `.single_instance` is now
optional
## Noteworthy fixes
* `$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` is honored in more places when generating the
documentation
* Fix setting shapes via `awful.rules`
* Set `_NET_WM_DESKTOP` for sticky windows correctly
* Under complicated circumstances, AwesomeWM could have run Lua code while
having the X11 server grabbed. This had the potential to cause deadlocks with
Lua code using `io.popen`. Usage of `io.popen` is still strongly discouraged.
## Behavior changes
* `wibox.container.background` applies shapes differently. The new approach
should be more consistent with a border.
* The `shape_clip` option of `wibox.container.background` was removed. The code
now always behaves as if this option is set to `true`. The old behaviour can
be simulated with `wibox.layout.stack`.
* Awesome now initialises Lua's random number generator from a good source
