#fvwm #wayland #cow

Hey all,

Just a quick update on some of the changes merged to 'main' for fvwm's wayland equivalent (cow):

https://codeberg.org/thomasadam/cow

* New rule command syntax -- the old rule command is gone, replaced with something which now operates on events. Think of it like #FvwmEvent once was.

* cow(1) manpage rewrite: I've tried to clarify a few things, add additional context, and split things into sections. I suspect this will be a work in progress, but for now I think it's OK.

* New command, 'scroll', which replaces the previous 'page' command. Scroll is sort of similar to fvwm's scroll command -- you can now pan around the pages using the mouse. So-called "scrollable" WMs, take note -- fvwm's had this functionality for decades, it's nothing new!

* Bug-fixes, improvements, etc.
