The first release after the Sawfish author, John Harper, resigned from Sawfish maintainership and the Sawfish community took over.

The release 1.3.1 is to let people know about the revival of Sawfish development and that the process of collecting patches for the next release 1.3.2 has started. Please send your local or distribution-specific patches to the sawfish mailing list for consideration. Documentation was updated with v0.11 from Derek Upham, a tool for automatic screenshot generation of huge number of themes from Scott Scriven was added and a detection for Xrandr extension from Philip Langdale was added.
