Welcome to the world, CTWM 4.0.0 release.

The first release of ctwm was apparently in May or early June of 1992,
which makes this our quadranscentennial release (give or take a
month).  Planning for the worldwide celebrations will obviously begin
shortly.


This release includes some large structural changes in addition to the
normal features and bugfixes.  See the CHANGES in the distribution or
on the website for full details.  Some highlights:

Basic EWMH support is now included.  Some config defaults have been
changed.  Some odd cases in focus handling have been fixed.  Command
line arguments are changed to double-dashed --long style.  Support for
multiple planes for keeping some windows always on top of or below
others has been added.  Calculation of title window heights in Unicode
locales is significantly improved.  And many other changes.

Structurally, many old platforms have been desupported, and the build
toolchain has been completely replaced with a cmake-based system.  The
install locations have been changed, and many obsolete configuration
options have been removed.  And the codebase has been significantly
cleaned up and reorganized.


The release is available now in the website as both .tar.xz and
.tar.gz.  The .xz is meaningfully smaller, the .gz may be useful on
systems lacking xz support.
