Hi there,

I created a new snap which can be downloaded from:

http://wmii.de/snaps/wmii-20060411.tar.gz

It contains several changes:

- integrated the vector (resizable array) implementation
  provided by Icarus Sparry
- frames in default mode of columns are scaled if a frame
  is created or removed
- existing columns are also scaled if a column is created or
  removed
- implemented intelligent placement in floating mode (though
  needs polishing)
- added * shortcut tag for clients which makes them visible in
  all views
- removed possibility to view sets of tags, instead you can only
  view a single tag
- removed -t flag from wmii
- instead a new 'retag' command for the /ctl device has been
  implemented which matches all rules on all existing clients,
  except rules which tag the ! tag
- extended /def/rules to supply a mechanism to replace the
  removed -t flag as follows (we got two new default rules):

  /.*/ -> 1
  /.*/ -> !

  The first rule defines the default tag for all clients.
  The second rule defines that a client should inherit the tag
  of the current view. The ! tag is handled specially and only
  applied, if a new client is attached (never on retag command).
  This allows to have a default tag mechanism which can be used
  on startup for already existing clients.
  Note: the order of rules is important, the last matching rule
        is used to tag the specific client, e.g.:

  /.*/ -> 1
  /.*/ -> !
  /XMMS:.*/ -> ~
  /Gimp.*:.*/ -> ~

  The last rule overrides the existing ones. If retag is invoked
  Gimp will be floating in tag 1, if Gimp is newly created it
  will inherit the current view (second rule) and be floating.

- Several bug fixes (mostly client grabbing stuff, drawing
  issues)
- New revised keybindings as described by Sander in the Mail:
  http://wmii.de/pipermail/wmii/2006-April/001075.html

As a side note: The editable tag bars will not be included in
wmii-3, the task is too complex to be achievable till the
release.

Regards,
