     - GTK1.x support has been removed.

       ChangeButton command.

   * fvwm-menu-desktop updated:

     - Renamed default menu to XDGMenu and changed the name
       of the FvwmForm to FvwmForm-XDGMenu-Config to not conflict

     - fvwm-menu-desktop will now load defaults from the
       FvwmForm-XDGMenu-Config data file.

   * Bug fixes:

     - A bug introduced in 2.6.6 could cause applications with
       negative coordinates to be placed at strange positions.  This
       affected for example acroread when switching to fullscreen
       mode.  This has been fixed.
     - FvwmButtons "Silent" option for dynamic ChangeButton commands
       no longer loops infinitely.

   Changes in stable release 2.6.6 (15-Mar-2016)

   * New fvwm features:

     - Support for Russian from Ivan Gayevskiy.
     - EnvMatch supports infostore variables.
     - The option "forget" to the Maximize command allows to
       unmaximize a window without changing its size and position.
     - Windows shaded to a corner (NW, NE, SW, SE) are reduced to a
       small square.
     - New option "!raise" to the WarpToWindow command.
     - The new extended variables $[wa.x], $[wa.y], $[wa.width],
       $[wa.height] can be used to get the geometry of the EWMH
       working area, and $[dwa.x], $[dwa.y], $[dwa.width],
       $[dwa.height] can be used to get the geometry of the EWMH
       dynamic working area.
     - The Resize commands accept "wa" or "da" as a suffix of the
       width or height value.  If present, the value is a percentage
       of the width or height of the EWMH working area or the EWMH
       dynamic working area.
     - Fvwm is much more resilient against applications that flood the
       window manager with repeated events.

   * New module features:

     - FvwmForm supports separator lines.
     - New FvwmIconMan options:
         IconAndSelectButton
         IconAndSelectColorset

   * Bug fixes:

     - Provide a wrapper for the deprecation of XKeycodeToKeysym and
       use XkbKeycodeToKeysym() where appropriate.
     - fvwm-menu-desktop is re-written and provides better support of
       the XDG menu specification.
     - Fix fvwm-menu-desktop keyError bug.  Use "others" if no desktop
       environment found.
     - FvwmIconMan had problems displaying the hilight colour on some
       systems (64 bit issue?).
     - Globally active windows cannot take the focus if the style
       forbids programs to take focus themselves (style
       !FPFocusByProgram).
     - Windows no longer jump from one position to the other which
       could happen in some cases with SnapAttraction.  Windows now
       snap to the closest window (or screen edge).
     - Removing bindings had several strange side effects that are
       fixed now (removing too many bindings; old bindings showing up
       again after another is removed; possibly other effects).
     - Windows sometimes did not get expose events (i.e. did not
       redraw properly) if they were uncovered by moving a window
       above them.  This has been fixed.
     - FvwmConsole now causes much less network traffic.
     - Suppress bogus events sent to the modules when a window is
       resized with the mouse.
     - Properly handle the has_ref_window_moved flag for ResizeMove and
       ResizeMoveMaximize.
     - Removed some unnecessary redraws in FvwmPager.
     - The option "NoDeskLimitY" option of the GotoPage command did
       not work.
     - Negative coordinates in the "rectangle" option to the Menu
       commend did not work correctly.  This has been fixed.
     - Removes a slight graphics problem whith the ResizeMaximize
       command being invoked from a window button menu.
     - When an attempt to reparent a client window (i.e. decorate
       it) fails, fvwm no longer throws away all events but only the
       events for that window.
     - The ChangeButton command of FvwmButtons used to strip
       whitespace from the beginning and end of button titles and
       image paths.  This is no longer done.
