IceWM 3.6 is out today as the newest version of this lightweight X11 window manager.

IceWM continues marching along as a lightweight X11 window manager known for its extensive customization support. IceWM 3.6 adds support for composing characters in the address bar with the X input method. IceWM 3.6 also allows to double-click the border to maximize just that side of the window. The third new feature is allowing a double-click to restore that side of the window, including for corners.

IceWM 3.6 also has a fix to ignore duplicate requests from GNOME to move or resize a window. There is also a fix to restore the moving of windows by dragging with the right button down.
