News in 1.0rc:
    * External tabs are back.
       - option in Configure menu to enable/disable
         No restart required.
    * Added support for following atoms:
        _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE
        _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION (flashing titlebar/iconbar) 
        _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS 
        _NET_WM_ACTION_
        _NET_WM_STATE_MODAL
        _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH
        _NET_RESTACK_WINDOW
       For a complete list of supported net wm atoms 
       go to: http://www.fluxbox.org/docs/ewmh-support.html
    * Added new commands:
      * ToggleCmd
        Works like a macro but executes the commands one at the time in order.
        Example:
        Mod1 T :ToggleCmd {Exec xterm} {NextWindow}
        When Mod1 T is press the first time it will start xterm, the second time
        it will do NextWindow. When it reaches end it will start at the beginning.
      * CloseAllWindows
        Closes all windows.
    * Supports urgency hint ( flashing titlebar/iconbar )
    * Pressing shift while pressing enter in menu item will fake a right mouse
      button press. Useful for increase/decrease values in menu.
    * Updated documentation
    * Flashing titlebar/iconbar when the window demands attention with urgency 
      hint or using _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION.
      The blink rate can be configured with the following resource:
      session.screen0.demandsAttentionTimeout: <timeout in milliseconds>
      Default value is 500.
      If the value is zero this feature will be disabled.
    * Better UTF-8 handling
    * fbrun: Move the cursor to the end when tab completing
      (rfe #1333003, patch #1475578)
    * Added option to reverse desktop wheeling (patch #1034287)
      session.screen0.reversewheeling: true|false
    * Vertical toolbar is back.
    * Provide "Key Modes"
      - New action in keys file:
          Modifier Key :KeyMode <Name> <End Modifier> <End Key>
        Will define a key binding namespace activated by the given mod/key 
        combination. The End Modifier and key are optional. They define 
        the key combination that quits the given key mode. They default 
        to just 'Escape'.
      - New keys file optional prefix:
          <Name>: Modifier Key :Command
        will only work when the <Name> keymode is activated.
      - <Name> is  "default" if not specified - so:
         **default commands will not be activated inside another keymode**
      - Handy Example:
         Mod1 X :KeyMode XNest
         XNest: Mod1 X :KeyMode default
        Will switch to XNest keymode when you press Alt-X. Then the 
        default bindings will not be caught by normal fluxbox, and will 
        pass through to an Xnested one! Groovy... Alt-X will switch back 
        to normal.
