  • Layout code moved to Lua;
  • Client gets a new mouse_leave hook;
  • Floating state is now handled on Lua side;
  • Windows groups are handled and exported to Lua API;
  • Various awesome markups have been removed in favor of widgets properties (simpler);

  • Add mouse move code for wiboxes;
  • Add functions to move clients with mouse to tags via the taglist;
  • Add support for key release events in keybindings;
