Nobody is interested in whether the Abilities are supported.
There is one method in KWin core checking for the colors
supported by the currently loaded decoration:
Workspace::decorationSupportedColors
This method is not called from anywhere inside KWin, but is
part of the D-Bus interface, though nobody in KDE's repository
is calling it [1].
As it is part of public API the Abilities are only deprecated
and scheduled for removal with the next big break.

As discussed on the mailinglist [1] the tiling support is
removed from KWin. The main reasons for this step are:
* it is unmaintained
* it is a mode not used by any of the core KWin team
* original developer said at Akademy 2012 that he is not
interested in picking up the work again
* tiling has quite some bugs, e.g. multi screen not supported
* is conflicting with other concepts in KWin, e.g. activities
There is ongoing work to get tiling supported through a KWin
script, which is a preferred way as it does not influence the
existing C++ code base.

The window menu is shown after a strong click on the menu button.
This makes close by double click on menu button working correctly.
A single (strong) click will open the window menu, a double click
will close the menu. A triple click is no longer required.

This slot can be reimplemented by the decoration to return
the regions defined by KDecorationDefines::Region.
The only region defined initially is ExtendedBorderRegion.
This region specifies an invisible input region that can extend
both inside and outside the decoration.
The intended use case is to be able to have an active border
area that's larger than the visible borders.

Drawbound was nowadays only used when compositing is disabled.
For the composited case, the drawbound was replaced by the resize
effect and in fact we should always just use the resize effect.

With config option "NoPlugin" in group "Style" it is possible to
no request that KWin should be run without a decoration plugin.
This is a change for Plasma Active to properly support no decorations.
As well if a decoration plugin cannot be loaded, KWin will no longer
exit, but continue to run just without a decoration. As a nice
side-effect changes in Oxygen no longer destroy my kwin build ;-)

Messages from kdecorations library are extracted to libkdecorations.pot.
Messages from kwineffects library are extracted to libkwineffects.pot.
Currently there are no messages yet in kwineffects, so it's for future use.
The KDecoration library lives in libkdecorations/ now.
Installation pathes are unchanged, so this does not influence 3rd party
decorations.
The changes in the KWin main directory are required due to incorrect
includes.
