>Description:

The fluxbox port has not been updated by me for some time due to
the development going on. See http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/roadmap.php
for a roadmap towards the 1.0.0 release.
As of now 0.9.2 is the latest version whereas 0.1.14 is still considered
the latest stable release.
To help the maintainers getting a larger number of testers I
created this fluxbox-devel port.
In contrast to the main port this one has many new features:

 - builtin remember patch
 - transparent menus
 - slit can be turned off
 - window snapping
 - pixmap themes

See http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/version-0.9.php
for a full list of changes and screenshots.

Please create a fluxbox-devel port and keep the 'old' 0.1.14 until
1.0 has been released and can be considered stable. At that point
the 'fluxbox-devel' port will become 'fluxbox' and depending on the
development I might maintain a -devel branch.
