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 # Awesome window manager framework version 4.3 changes
