We've just relesed Openbox 3.4.2:

Openbox 3.4.2 adds some new and some long awaited features, as well as
fixing some minor bugs.

Bevel strengths can now be set in the theme file for any surface. See
here for details on how to set them:

SCIM has been removed from the default autostart.sh in 3.4.2. This was
due to some users reporting problems between scim and other
applications, like pypanel. SCIM has been added to the Autostart
documentation's example instead.

An incompatibility was introduced in Openbox 3.4.1's libraries that
would cause ObConf 2.0.0 to crash, so you should upgrade ObConf to
2.0.1 as well.

Here's the full changelog:
* Add ability to set the bevel strength in themes
* Fix for focusLast with omnipresent windows
* Cache pipe menus while the menus are open
* Allow non-interactive directional focus key bindings
* Change how nested interactive key bindings work (it stays in the key
chain, like chroot, until you end the interactive action)
* Fix for gtk apps trying to get focus - mostly nullify focus stealing
prevention (Fixes Tilda)
* Send ConfigureNotify always on ConfigureRequest (Previous emacs fix
makes this possible now)
* Fix RelativeResize action for right/bottom edges
* Remove SCIM from the default autostart.sh - it has caused problems
with some (buggy) panels, such as pypanel
* Fix the titlebar changing to non-focused when iconifying a window
with animation
* Use the new osd theme hints for the dock, rather than the titlebar hints
