October 11, 2006 - AfterStep 2.2.3 released!

This release includes many bugfixes, enhancements and new features, as well as huge modifications to ASXML parsing. GTK colorscheming is now disabled by default. Support is now implemented for parsing module options from look and feel; only WinList does this for now. Major menu contents cleanup... and so much more stuff that you should probably check out the ChangeLog from the ftp server if you're further interested.

March 7, 2006 - AfterStep 2.2.1 released!

Lots of bugs fixed, including: Disabled GTK and KDE applications colorization by default. Quite a bit of code review, including snagging a couple of elusive segs and crashing X more than once. Seg fixed (application icon handling), window title handling fixed (re unicode). Several more bugs, more than the release guy can recall. :D
