fvwm (1:2.6.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

    FVWM now comes with a default configuration. The default will load if
    no configuration file is found when fvwm starts. The default config
    file can be found at /usr/share/fvwm/default-config/config.

    Some modules have been removed. This may require you update your config
    file. See the upstream news file, /usr/share/doc/fvwm/changelog.gz, for
    a list of changes and suggested replacements.

    The old Debian menu methods have been removed to update to current policy
    of using XDG menus. Use fvwm-menu-desktop to access XDG menus in fvwm.
    This will require you have python-xdg and a menu, such as lxmenu-data,
    installed.

fvwm (1:2.6.5.ds-2) unstable; urgency=low

    FVWM package versions up to and including 2.5.30 used to include a default
    configuration file /etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc, which is used when a
    user has no user-specific configuration under ~/.fvwm/. Starting from
    version 1:2.6.5.ds-2, no such system configuration is provided or used.
    The behavior when starting FVWM without a configuration file now follows
    upstream.

    For those who are upgrading from a previous version of the FVWM package
    and would like to continue using the old system configuration:
    - If you HAVE modified /etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc, the file will be
      renamed system.fvwm2rc.dpkg-bak. Simply copy/move the file to
      ~/.fvwm/config.
    - If you have NOT modified /etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc, the file will
      no longer be there. Simply copy the file under the examples/ directory
      to your user directory with the following commands:
       mkdir ~/.fvwm 2>/dev/null
       cd /usr/share/doc/fvwm/examples
       gunzip -c system.fvwm2rc.Debian.gz > ~/.fvwm/config

fvwm (2.5.10-6) unstable; urgency=low

    Previous versions of the FVWM package provided a Debian-specific default
    configuration setup which was suboptimal in some respects. Starting with
    2.5.10, the Debian packages rely on FVWM's own default configuration
    mechanisms. Thus, if you start without a ~/.fvwm/ directory and no
    ~/.fvwm2rc file, FVWM will provide a menu that sets up a basic
    configuration for you.

    If you are upgrading from a previous version of the FVWM package and you
    would like to populate your home directory with the old Debian-specific
    default configuration, you may be able to do so by using the following
    commands:
     mkdir ~/.fvwm
     for i in /etc/X11/fvwm/*.hook.dpkg-old; do
       cp "$i" "~/.fvwm/$(basename "$i" .dpkg-old)"
     done

    Even though it's possible for you to use the old Debian-specific
    configuration files, this is not recommended. Aside from FVWM's own
    default configuration, this Debian package includes a full set of examples
    in /usr/share/doc/fvwm/sample.fvwmrc/, and http://www.fvwm.org/ has many
    additional resources.

fvwm (2.5.8-0.3) experimental; urgency=low

  * There are new conditions, conditional statements, styles, commands,
    command options, transparency support, EWMH support (allows
    integration into KDE and GNOME environments), finer grained
    customization of decorations, themes support, finer grained binding of
    commands to portions of the window border, anti-aliased text rendering
    support, embedded perl library for creating modules in Perl, better
    placement algorithms, improved performance, new graphical debugger
    module, and many other changes.
  * There are new utilities to help customize fvwm if there is no fvwmrc
    file available.  Because of this, the package removes the default
    system-wide fvwmrc file, since that shadowed the nice configuration
    utilities. 
  * The Debian menu is available from the file /etc/X11/fvwm/DebianMenu
    (the old file /etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook shall be retained as a
    synlink for a bit). This would require a change in existing user
    configuration files.
  * In the postinst we now move old conffiles out of the way (.dpkg-old),
    since they interfere with the new configuration generation tools; but
    we do not delete the files, so preserving user changes. We only do
    this if the user is upgrading from a pre 2.5.8 version. On purge, we
    remove all these preserved files as well.
  * As a passing note, this package under the control of arch
    arch-tag: ec98d578-705b-4b9e-80bb-4d998c2d377c
