+2.8.4
+==
+
+This release features a number of bug fixes, and also the disabling of
+the focus-stealing-prevention code (we're entering hard code freeze in
+Gnome so it's too late to fix the remaining issues, especially since
+it requires several patches to modules other than Metacity).
+
+Thanks to Havoc Pennington, Soeren Sandmann, Elijah Newren, and Rich
+Wareham for fixes in this release
+
+Fixes
+ * track the last_xor_rect, for wireframe painting (Havoc)
+ * Move wireframe code before grab is released to prevent endless
+ loops with fullscreen windows. (Soeren)
+ * Make dialogs that Metacity shows follow focus-stealing-prevention
+ conventions. (Elijah; part of #149028)
+ * add render extension check to the display, don't build the
+ compositing manager by default, use an ARGB visual when available
+ for the window frame (Rich Wareham; various tweaks added later by
+ Havoc)
+ * move the have_xrender variable initialization up in the file since
+ it can be set as part of composite check (Havoc)
+ * make argb stuff compile, add some code from xcompmgr (Havoc)
+ * fix an assertion failure that would occur after increasing the
+ number of workspaces; fix stacking order when a window is denied
+ focus (Elijah; #150615)
+ * disable some compositor code that wasn't working, don't grab the
+ server during repaint, various set_background fixes and
+ refactoring (Havoc)
