70 Changes since version 0.70.0:
71 .............................

76 - Fixed compilation for systems that required -lintl for WINGs
77 (Jim Knoble <jmknoble@pobox.com>)

84 - Added patch to fix some gnome issues (Les Schaffer <schaffer@optonline.net>)
85 - SIGTERM is now handled and saves the internal state before exiting (like
86 SIGHUP and SIGINT already do). Now a "kill wmaker_pid" will exit cleanly
87 saving dock/clip/session information on exit.
88 - Added an internal strcasecmp() to WINGs (only on systems where's not present)
89 - Deminiaturizing a window that is also shaded, will perform an unshade too.

95 will unhide the application.
96 - Added || pipe menu for generating non-cached menus

102 - Made dock/clip steal appicons of applications that were started from a
103 shell/xterm or from the main menu, if there is a docked appicon of that
104 class that is not running at the time the app is launched.
105 - Added animation to show that the appicon was stolen by the dock (the way
106 NEXTSTEP did - map an appicon as it normally would have been, then slide it
107 to the position the docked appicon is).
108 - Updated the animation constants for scrolling/sliding/shading to better
109 adapt to newer/faster machines. Also used wusleep(10) when the delay was 0
110 to get rid of the jerky animation when there was no delay.
111 - Fixed bug with Unhide mapping windows from other workspaces.
112 - keyboard shortcuts are active during mouse window drag
113 - Saving a domain file will first strip all entries that are also present in
114 the global domain as well and are exactly the same. This fixes a bug where
115 settings from the global domain file were merged in the user domain file
116 and further changes in the global domain file for those merged values was
117 ignored making a system admin unable to set global defaults for all users
118 using the global domains.
119 - Fixed bug with improper setting of root/titlebar cursor (definable cursors).

149 code to WINGs. This code is not only better integrated with the other

151 compatibility header file is provided which maps old libPropList
152 function names to the new WINGs based proplist names allowing old code
153 to be linked to WINGs with minimal changes. For details on how to use
154 the compat mode, read the comments on top of WINGs/WINGs/proplist-compat.h
