2.4.55
===

 Thanks to Soeren Sandmann, Owen Taylor, Frederic Crozat, 
 Rob Adams, Orien Vandenbergh, Arvind Samptur, Youssef Makki 
 for contributions to this release.

 - some fixes to opaque resize that make it slightly less 
   choppy
 - fix some infinite loops caused by stupid apps with transient for
   cycles
 - force window min/max size to be at least 1 pixel
 - unfocus window on leaving window border, not on leaving 
   window itself, in strict mouse focus mode
 - fix handling of workspace names so they don't get 
   all lost/broken/etc.
 - fix handling of ignored modifiers (makes key shortcuts 
   work while CapsLock/ScrollLock/NumLock are all enabled,
   most people didn't notice as nobody turns on ScrollLock)
 - fix multihead crash #106086
 - many translation updates

2.4.34
===

 - tons of new translations
 - add new theme Simple and make it the default
 - match key handlers to key codes instead of key syms 
   which fixes some occasional keybinding bugs
 - don't show workspace menu items if there's only one workspace
 - fix fullscreen mode workaround for xine/mplayer
 - fix startup sequences that use StartupWMClass
 - fix 64-bit bug in async-getprop.c that caused a lockup
 - put metacity-properties.c in the tarball
 - don't mess up the focus window in mouse focus mode when 
   switching workspaces
 - improve event compression to speed up window move/resize
   a bit more
 - don't jump mozilla windows between workspaces
 - don't stick the tab/workspace-switch popup 
   on machines under heavy load or slow machines

2.4.21
===

 - fix for #103317 (windows getting "stuck" when unfullscreened)
 - support up to 32 run_command keybindings (Rob Adams)
 - add compression for motion events, somewhat suboptimally, 
   a better patch is pending for GNOME 2.2.1, should fix "slow
   move/resize" for most people (especially when combined 
   with Alex's nautilus fixes)
 - fix configure options (Akira Tagoh)

2.4.13
===

 - we were making all dialogs skip the taskbar, even non-transient 
   ones, though this was supposedly fixed a while ago. Now really
   fixed.
 - change back to Alt+click by default for the window drag feature.
 - assign Alt+F12 to shade window
 - fix not deleting enough workspaces when the number 
   was reduced via the pager config dialog (readams@hmc.edu)
 - don't allow windows under the top panel ever, even if they 
   are tall windows (Arvind)
 - fix up the window layout for directional workspace nav, 
   so you always stop at the edges and always end up 
   where you expect (hp, with tweaks from readams@hmc.edu)
 - focus new windows in mouse focus mode (readams@hmc.edu)
 - support xeyes, oclock, etc. by applying shape mask 
   to the window manager frame (yeah it resizes slow, deal)
 - fix vertical/horizontal maximize
 - handle crossing events resizing for more opaque resize goodness
   (Soeren)
 - add wacky _METACITY_UPDATE_COUNTER experimental extension 
   to do nice opaque resizing (does nothing without a GTK patch)
 - fix a crash setting workspace names
 - fix internationalized WM_NAME reading
