Hello everyone!

There have been many, many bugfixes since 3.5.1; some of those bugs
were critical, some were annoying, and some were rather subtle. To
share the joy, we decided to pack together a new release, 3.6. Here's
the first candidate:

	http://www.suckless.org/download/wmii-3.6-rc1.tar.gz
	http://www.suckless.org/download/wmii-3.6-rc1.tar.gz.md5
	http://www.suckless.org/download/wmii-3.6-rc1.tar.gz.sha1

Check it out while it's still hot! Those are the changes from the
release of 3.5.1:

	* the floating layer is finally almost usable:
	  - moving the mouse cursor over a floating frame does not
	    raise it automatically anymore.
	  - windows can now be moved off-screen (but not completely,
	    we don't want to lose them!)
	* moving frames in the managed layer now works too. You even
	  can swap frames with the mouse. Try it, and report whether you
	  like it!
	* GTK drag'n'drop is now working again
	* the bar is now resized on font change
	* fixed some serious bugs concerning tagging
	* a SIGCHLD handler has been added, no more zombie wmiirc's
	* the clients are now addressed in the 9P filesystem via their
	  X11 window id: handy in combination with tools like xcompmgr!
	* some new events had been introduced: DestroyClient,
	  CreateColumn, ColumnFocus, FocusFloating, DestroyColumn

Most changes were contributed by Daniel Wäber and Kris Maglione this
time. Thanks Daniel, and welcome back, Kris!

As you will immediately notice, borders around bar items have been
brought back. With the default colour scheme it's rather ugly, isn't it?
For this reason, we would love to see suggestions for a nicer theme that
can cope with bar borders :)

We hope you will enjoy it!

Hello again,

addressing some reported issues, we've uploaded a new release
candidate:
	
	http://www.suckless.org/download/wmii-3.6-rc2.tar.gz
	http://www.suckless.org/download/wmii-3.6-rc2.tar.gz.md5
	http://www.suckless.org/download/wmii-3.6-rc2.tar.gz.sha1

Changes are mostly concerning rendering of labels and fonts, but also
some cleanups. The bug of shell expansion in dmenu has been fixed as
well.

Try it out, critique is always welcome!

Greetings
Denis Grelich
