WISHES FOR THE FUTURE OF VTWM
=============================
* From vtwm-5.1 spawned two independent versions, vtwm-5.2 and vtwm-5.2b.
The features added to 5.2b are different from the ones added to 5.2, and
I based my version(s) on 5.2 rather than 5.2b since in 5.2 the features
were, in my humble opinion, more useful, while in 5.2b the new stuff was
mostly `chrome' (e.g., XPM support, etc.). I was seriously considering
adding the features from 5.2b into 5.3, but I didn't have enough time.
I would like to see most of the features from 5.2b merged into the next
version, especially the color XPM support and m4 pre-processing of the
*twmrc file. See below for more info. --- DSE
[From the CHANGES-5.2 file in the vtwm-5.2b archive]
---------------------------------------------------------------- begin file
Summary feature list for version 5.2:
* Added m4 pre-processing of the *twmrc file. courtesy of Dave Edmondson.

virtual desktop and it's real screen window, too!) - djhjr
* 3D appearance on menus, titles, icons. DONE (info windows, doors,
the virtual desktop, and icon managers, too!) - djhjr
* Moving in and out of desktop. DONE? (a vague description, see the
Virtual*MotionEvents resources) - djhjr
* Opaque resizing available. DONE - djhjr
* Both OpaqueResize and OpaqueMove may specify lists of windows as
opposed to being "global". DONE - djhjr
* Can direct focus through desktop at real windows. When enabled, the
desktop windows also indicate the focus highlight by using the border.

IT'S THERE, MOSTLY. (man page updated to reflect this) - djhjr
* Size information is displayed during both move and resize. DONE - djhjr
* Size information can be centered in the screen. DONE (any of the
screen corners, too!) - djhjr
* Desktop size may be specified in multiples of real screen.
IT'S THERE (see lnf/.vtwmrc-*ish) - djhjr
* Can "paste" a new name into a door. DONE - djhjr
* Places property on root window giving virtual coordinates, in case
other programs want to use this info. (e.g. xpostit).
* Now uses a blank/icon startup screen while initialising.
* Many bugfixes, especially to do with desktop stacking order and
iconification/deiconification of the desktop windows.
