+Version 3.6.0
+-------------
+Code name Magic Star
+
+Fvwm Crystal 3.6.0 is a step forward.
+
+- Dependencies updated to >=fvwm-2.6.9 and python3.
+- A configurable button bar along with the Custom new recipe are providing
+  a contemporary look. It have its own preference menu and can be placed
+  on any side of the desktop.
+  - Left click: menu or application launcher
+  - Middle cllick: remove the button and redraw the bar
+  - Right click: preference menu, a new button will be placed at the right
+    of the clicked button
+- New Italian translation
+- Support for FVWM_*DIR at fvwm-crystal invocation, see 'man fvwm-crystal'.
+- Support for Icon and MiniIcon fvwm Styles for each application found
+  during the application menu generation.
+- Support of automatic restart of urxvtc when crashed.
+- Silent the application database. This make the login shell
+  (and fvwm-crystal logfile if any), to be less poluted
+  by external applications.
+- Systemd support into the Exit menu
+- Screenlid suspend-hibrid support with preference
+- Cadence support into the Music menu and Music GUI key binding
+- Mouse velocity preference (default: system value)
+- The python scripts are updated to python 3.
+  They was tested with python 2 and should work, but that's not officialy
+  supported anymore.
+- Update of the Fullscreen fonction to the new fvwm builtin function
+  with workaround about non ewmh compliant browsers
+  That update simplify this function and make it to work better.
+- Improved support of different button sizes into the recipes with preferences.
+- The ACPI applets will be shown only when the required hardware is found.
+
+As always, numerous fixes, bugfixes and new applications and icons
+for the application menu. Most important ones:
+
+- The EWMH working area was reverted to its original function and improved.
+  It should work fine with all recipes and with both the desktop manager
+  and the new button bar when activated.
+- Fix support of svg application icons.
+- Temporary fix for the Font preferences applet crashing at launch
+  with some colorsets (due to a fvwm bug). It can look uggly
+  but should work.
+
+See ChangeLog for the details.
+
+I tested fvwm-crystal with fvwm 3. It mostly work and is usable,
+but that's not supported at that time.
+Anyway, that's a very good news for the future of fvwm-crystal.
+A big thank you to the fwvm workers for their dedication to fvwm
+and for their support!
+
+A big thank you to Star the dog and to the translators!
+
+With the new Custom recipe and its magic button, fvwm-crystal get
+a modern look and a terrific customizable multiple launcher.
+This imply most effort into its development will be focused
+into making it fvwm3 fully compliant.
+Which in turn mostly imply to update the fvwm dialogs
+to fvwm scripts at that time of writing.
+
+Translations, fixes and bugfixes will continue to be applied.
+
+New functions and other improvements will be accepted, but for my part,
+they will be part of a general reflexion about what I want to do
+with fvwm-crystal.
+
+I know what I don't want:
+a full rewrite would be a time consuming catastrophe
+because we will loose all the history including numerous fixes.
+Also, as fvwm-crystal has been more and more extended with time,
+I think a tooltip system must be added.
+Beside that, I would appreciate very much any ideas or contributions.
+
+Enjoy!
