Thanks to Patrick Niklaus, Ted Percival, Eric Piel, Akira TAGOH, and Thomas Thurman for improvements in this version.
- Fix memory allocation problem in struts (Eric) (probably fixes GNOME bug 468075)
- Ensure windows which start maximised know where to jump back to, so they don’t warp to other screens (Ted) (GNOME bug 504692)
- Icons for windows which are uncooperative enough not to provide an icon are taken from the theme, not built in (Patrick) (GNOME bug 524343)
- Added manual page for metacity-message (Akira, from Debian downstream)
- Added header comments to some files (Thomas)

This is the first release from trunk after the branch for the new stable release.
Two points of note, in the hiatus of the Metacity Journal:
- The release script numbered the NEWS entry as 2.25.1. I don’t know why (except that the release script is often unhappy around branch time, which is why we will be moving to moap sometime soon). I have numbered it back to 2.25.0 in trunk, but the version on the download site still has the misnumbered version. I don’t know if it’s worth doing a whole new unstable release just for this one thing. Perhaps we should skip 2.25.1 because of this.
- The fix Patrick supplied in GNOME bug 524343 is correct, but we are missing a name to use from the icon theme. Rodney Dawes gives some suggestions on that bug. Other discussion is welcome there too.
