> After much waiting, Blackbox 0.61.0 is released! This new version
> features:
> - more foreign language translations
> - man pages for blackbox and bsetroot
> - optionally auto-hiding slits and toolbars
> - cthulhain's bsetbg script, providing a machine-independent
> way for styles to set backgrounds
> - beefed up command execution, so now compound statements
> (like 'command1 && command2') should now work as entries
> in the root menu and in style rootCommands
> - a number of tweaks to button behavior... for instance middle
> clicks on a window's Send To menu will move the window and
> you along with it, and middle clicks on the Workspace menus
> will move the window to the current workspace (compared to
> moving you to that workspace, which is what a left-click
> does)
> - a whole gaggle of bug fixes, some of which reach back to
> 0.50 and earlier
> - ...

> Aw, heck, I don't remember them all... check the ChangeLog.

> Now, the most notable -- or should I say annoying -- change in
> 0.61.0 is a change in the style file format. Blackbox 0.61.0
> no longer supports styled frames. Since this makes the
> window.frame.(un)focus textures useless at best (and deceptive
> at worst), they have been removed and replaced with
> window.frame.(un)focusColor.
>
> Since certain individuals took offense at the prospect of having
> solid colors appear anywhere on their desktop, the width of the
> window frame is now seperately configurable via the frameWidth
> entry; if frameWidth is unspecified it will default to bevelWidth
> for backwards-compatibility, and by setting it to 0 you can
> eliminate the frame entirely. (Alternatively, you could set it
> to like 16 or so, and waste a whole lot of screen space.)

> Information on updating styles to the slightly altered format
> can be found at
> http://blackbox.alug.org/README.styles.html
> which also contains a link to a shell/awk script which should
> let you update styles automatically (and still leave them useable
> by 0.60.x too).
>
> For the time being 0.61.x will remain a beta release, but if
> no problems arise in the near future it will probably be
> rechristened as the next stable release.
