+<para> A new boolean attribute, <literal>MOVABLE</literal>, can now be
+specified for <literal>DOCKABLE</literal> tags in the
+<literal>dockables.xml</literal> file. This attribute specifies the behavior
+when the docking position of the dockable window is changed. If true, the
+existing instance of the dockable window is moved to the new docking
+position, thus maintaining its state after the move (this is the new
+behavior). If false, the BeanShell code is invoked to get the instance to
+put in the new docking position (this is the existing behavior). The
+BeanShell code typically returns a new instance of the dockable, cause the
+state to be lost as a result of the change in docking position. The default
+value of this attribute is false for backward compatibility. </para>

+<para> A new interface, <ulink
+url="../api/org/gjt/sp/jedit/gui/DockableWindow.html">DockableWindow</ulink>,
+is introduced for <literal>MOVABLE</literal> dockable windows to be notified
+before their docking position is changed. This enables dockable windows to
+react to this change, e.g. by changing their layout depending on whether
+they are docked at the top/bottom or the left/right. This interface is
+meaningless (for now) for non-MOVABLE dockable windows. </para>
