-## Monarch 2.8.0 [britzl released 2018-06-10]
-NEW: Prevent show/hide operations while busy showing/hiding another screen  
-FIX: Make sure to properly finish active transitions when layout changes
-
-## Monarch 2.7.0 [britzl released 2018-06-04]
-NEW: Added monarch.top([offset]) and monarch.bottom([offset]) to get screen id of top and bottom screens (w. optional offset)  
-NEW: Transition messages now contain `next_screen` or `previous_screen`
-
-## Monarch 2.6.1 [britzl released 2018-06-04]
-FIX: Check if screen has already been preloaded before trying to preload it again (the callback will still be invoked).
-
-## Monarch 2.6.0 [britzl released 2018-06-03]
-NEW: monarch.preload() to load but not show a screen. Useful for content heavy screens that you wish to show without delay.
-
-## Monarch 2.5.0 [britzl released 2018-06-01]
-NEW: Transitions will send a `transition_done` message to the creator of the transition to notify that the transition has finished. The `message` will contain which transition that was finished.
-
-## Monarch 2.4.0 [britzl released 2018-05-26]
-NEW: Screen transitions are remembered so that they can be replayed when the screen layout changes.
-
-## Monarch 2.3.0 [britzl released 2018-03-24]
-CHANGE: The functions in monarch.lua that previously only accepted a hash as screen id now also accepts strings (and does the conversion internally)
-
-## Monarch 2.2.0 [britzl released 2018-03-19]
-NEW: Transitions now handle layout changes (via `layout_changed` message)  
-NEW: Transitions can now be notified of changes in window size using transition.window_resize(width, height)
-
-## Monarch 2.1 [britzl released 2017-12-27]
-NEW: Added Popup on Popup flag that allows a popup to be shown on top of another popup
-
-## Monarch 2.0 [britzl released 2017-12-08]
-BREAKING CHANGE: If you are using custom screen transitions (ie your own transition functions) you need to make a change to the function. The previous function signature was ```(node, to, easing, duration, delay, url)``` where ```url``` was the URL  to where the ```transition_done``` message was supposed to be posted. The new function signature for a transition function is: ```(node, to, easing, duration, delay, cb)``` where ```cb``` is a function that should be invoked when the transition is completed.

 The navigation in Monarch is based around a stack of screens. When a screen is shown it is pushed to the top of the stack. When going back to a previous screen the topmost screen on the stack is removed. Example:

 ### Showing a new screen

 ## Transitions
-You can add optional transitions when navigating between screens. The default behavior is that screen navigation is instant but if you have defined a transition for a screen Monarch will wait until the transition is completed before proceeding. The `Transition Url` (proxy) or `Transition Id` (collectionfactory) property described above should be the URL/Id to a script with an ```on_message``` handlers for the following messages:
-
-* ```transition_show_in``` (constant defined as ```monarch.TRANSITION.SHOW_IN```)
-* ```transition_show_out``` (constant defined as ```monarch.TRANSITION.SHOW_OUT```)
-* ```transition_back_in``` (constant defined as ```monarch.TRANSITION.BACK_IN```)
-* ```transition_back_out``` (constant defined as ```monarch.TRANSITION.BACK_OUT```)
-
-When a transition is completed it is up to the developer to send a ```transition_done``` (constant ```monarch.TRANSITION.DONE```) message back to the sender to indicate that the transition is completed and that Monarch can continue the navigation sequence.
-
-
-### Predefined transitions
-Monarch comes with a system for setting up transitions easily in a gui_script using the ```monarch.transitions.gui``` module. Example:
-
-	local transitions = require "monarch.transitions.gui"
-	local monarch = require "monarch.monarch"
-
-	function init(self)
-		-- create transitions for the node 'root'
-		-- the node will slide in/out from left and right with
-		-- a specific easing, duration and delay
-		self.transition = transitions.create(gui.get_node("root"))
-			.show_in(transitions.slide_in_right, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
-			.show_out(transitions.slide_out_left, gui.EASING_INQUAD, 0.6, 0)
-			.back_in(transitions.slide_in_left, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
-			.back_out(transitions.slide_out_right, gui.EASING_INQUAD, 0.6, 0)
-	end
-
-	function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
-		self.transition.handle(message_id, message, sender)
-		-- you can also check when a transition has completed:
-		if message_id == monarch.TRANSITION.DONE and message.transition == monarch.TRANSITION.SHOW_IN then
-			print("Show in done!")
-		end
-	end
-
-It is also possible to assign transitions to multiple nodes:
-
-	function init(self)
-		self.transition = transitions.create() -- note that no node is passed to transition.create()!
-			.show_in(gui.get_node("node1"), transitions.slide_in_right, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
-			.show_in(gui.get_node("node2"), transitions.slide_in_right, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
-	end
-
-
-The predefined transitions provided by ```monarch.transitions.gui``` are:
-
-* ```slide_in_right```
-* ```slide_in_left```
-* ```slide_in_top```
-* ```slide_in_bottom```
-* ```slide_out_right```
-* ```slide_out_left```
-* ```slide_out_top```
-* ```slide_out_bottom```
-* ```scale_in```
-* ```scale_out```
-* ```fade_in``` - Set node alpha to fully transparent (i.e. 0.0) and fade to fully opaque (i.e. 1.0)
-* ```fade_out``` - Set node alpha to fully opaque (i.e. 1.0) and fade to fully transparent (i.e. 0.0)
-
-Additionally there's functionality to create a full set of transitions for common transition styles:
-
-* ```transitions.in_right_out_left(node, duration, [delay], [easing])```
-* ```transitions.in_left_out_right(node, duration, [delay], [easing])```
-* ```transitions.in_left_out_left(node, duration, [delay], [easing])```
-* ```transitions.in_right_out_right(node, duration, [delay], [easing])```
-* ```transitions.fade_in_out(node, duration, [delay], [easing])```
-
-**PARAMETERS**
-* ```node``` (node) - Gui node to animate.
-* ```duration``` (number) - Transition duration in seconds.
-* ```delay``` (number) - Transition delay in seconds.
-* ```easing``` (table) - Easing table, created from a function provided by ```monarch.transitions.easings```
-
-**RETURN**
-* ```instance``` - The created transition instance
-
-
-### Custom transitions
-You can create and use your own transition as long as the provided transition function has the following function signature:
-
-	custom_transition(node, to, easing, duration, delay, cb)
-
-**PARAMETERS**
-* ```node``` (node) - Gui node to animate.
-* ```to``` (vector3) - Target position.
-* ```easing``` (number) - One of gui.EASING_* constants.
-* ```duration``` (number) - Transition duration in seconds.
-* ```delay``` (number) - Transition delay in seconds.
-* ```cb``` (function) - This function must be called when the transition is completed.
-
-
-### Dynamic orientation and resized windows
-When using dynamic screen orientation together with gui layouts or using transitions on a platform where the window can be resized it's important to make sure that the created transitions adapt to the change in orientation or window size. The transition system takes care of layout changes automatically, but when it comes to changes in window size you need to notify the transition manually:
-
-	local transitions = require "monarch.transitions.gui"
-
-	function init(self)
-		self.transition = transitions.create(gui.get_node("root"))
-	end
-
-	function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
-		if message_id == hash("my_resize_message") then
-			self.transition.window_resized(message.width, message.height)
-		end
-	end
-

-The transition message sent to the Transition Url specified in the screen configuration contains additional information about the transition. For the ```transition_show_in``` and ```transition_back_out``` messages the message contains the previous screen id:
-
-	function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
-		if message_id == hash("transition_show_in") or message_id == hash("transition_back_out") then
-			print(message.previous_screen)
-		end
-	end
-
-For the ```transition_show_out``` and ```transition_back_in``` messages the message contains the next screen id:
-
-	function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
-		if message_id == hash("transition_show_out") or message_id == hash("transition_back_in") then
-			print(message.next_screen)
-		end
-	end
-
-This information can be used to create dynamic transitions where the direction of the transition depends on the previous/next screen
+You can add optional transitions when navigating between screens. This is [described in detail here](/README_TRANSITIONS.md).
 
 
 ## Screen focus gain/loss
-Monarch will send focus gain and focus loss messages if a `Focus Url` (proxy) or `Focus Id` (collectionfactory) was provided when the screen was created. The focus gained message will contain the id of the previous screen and the focus loss message will contain the id of the next screen. Example:
+Monarch will send focus gain and focus loss messages if a focus change listener has been set using `monarch.on_focus_change(screen_id, fn)` 
 
+DEPRECATED: ~~Monarch will send focus gain and focus loss messages if a `Focus Url` (proxy) or `Focus Id` (collectionfactory) was provided when the screen was created.~~
+
+The focus gained message will contain the id of the previous screen and the focus loss message will contain the id of the next screen. Example:
+
+```lua
 	local monarch = require "monarch.monarch"
 
-	function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
-		if message_id == monarch.FOCUS.GAINED then
-			print("Focus gained, previous screen: ", message.id)
-		elseif message_id == monarch.FOCUS.LOST then
-			print("Focus lost, next screen: ", message.id)
-		end
+	function init(self)
+		monarch.on_focus_changed("foobar", function(message_id, message, sender)
+			if message_id == monarch.FOCUS.GAINED then
+				print("Focus gained, previous screen: ", message.id)
+			elseif message_id == monarch.FOCUS.LOST then
+				print("Focus lost, next screen: ", message.id)
+			end
+		end)
 	end
 
+	function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
+		monarch.on_message(message_id, message, sender)
+	end
+```
+
 
 ## Callbacks
-Both the ```monarch.show()``` and ```monarch.back()``` functions take an optional callback function that will be invoked when the ```transition_show_in``` (or the ```transition_back_in``` in the case of a ```monarch.back()``` call) transition is completed. The transition is considered completed when a ```transition_done``` message has been received (see section on [transitions](#transitions) above).
+Both the `monarch.show()` and `monarch.back()` functions take an optional callback function that will be invoked when the `transition_show_in` (or the `transition_back_in` in the case of a `monarch.back()` call) transition is completed.

 ## Monarch API
-
-### monarch.show(screen_id, [options], [data], [callback])
-Show a Monarch screen. Note that the screen must be registered before it can be shown. The ```init()``` function of the screen script (either `screen_proxy.script` or `screen_factory.script`) takes care of registration. This operation will be added to the queue if Monarch is busy.
-
-**PARAMETERS**
-* ```screen_id``` (string|hash) - Id of the screen to show.
-* ```options``` (table) - Options when showing the new screen (see below).
-* ```data``` (table) - Optional data to associate with the screen.  Retrieve using ```monarch.data()```.
-* ```callback``` (function) - Optional function to call when the new screen is visible.
-
-The options table can contain the following fields:
-
-* ```clear``` (boolean) - If the `clear` flag is set Monarch will search the stack for the screen that is to be shown. If the screen already exists in the stack and the clear flag is set Monarch will remove all screens between the current top and the screen in question.
-* ```reload``` (boolean) - If the `reload` flag is set Monarch will reload the collection proxy if it's already loaded (this can happen if the previous screen was a popup).
-* ```no_stack``` (boolean) - If the `no_stack` flag is set Monarch will load the screen without adding it to the screen stack.
-* ```sequential``` (boolean) - If the `sequential` flag is set Monarch will start loading the screen only after the previous screen finished transitioning out.
-* ```pop``` (number) - If `pop` is set to a number, Monarch will pop that number of screens from the stack before adding the new one.
-
-### monarch.replace(screen_id, [options], [data], [callback])
-Replace the top of the stack with a new screen. Equivalent to calling `monarch.show()` with `pop = 1`. It takes the same parameters as `monarch.show()`.
-
-
-### monarch.hide(screen_id, [callback])
-Hide a screen that has been shown using the `no_stack` option. If used on a screen that was shown without the `no_stack` option it will only hide it if the screen is on top of the stack and the behavior will be exactly like if `monarch.back()` had been called. This operation will be added to the queue if Monarch is busy.
-
-**PARAMETERS**
-* ```screen_id``` (string|hash) - Id of the screen to hide.
-* ```callback``` (function) - Optional function to call when the screen has been hidden.
-
-**RETURN**
-* ```success``` (boolean) - True if the process of hiding the screen was started successfully.

-Go back to a previous Monarch screen. This operation will be added to the queue if Monarch is busy.
-
-**PARAMETERS**
-* ```data``` (table) - Optional data to associate with the screen you are going back to.  Retrieve using ```monarch.data()```.
-* ```callback``` (function) - Optional function to call when the previous screen is visible.
-
-
-### monarch.preload(screen_id, [callback])
-Preload a Monarch screen. This will load but not enable the screen. This is useful for content heavy screens that you wish to be able to show without having to wait for it load. This operation will be added to the queue if Monarch is busy.
-
-**PARAMETERS**
-* ```screen_id``` (string|hash) - Id of the screen to preload.
-* ```callback``` (function) - Optional function to call when the screen is preloaded.
-

+# Transitions
+You can add optional transitions when navigating between screens. The default behavior is that screen navigation is instant but if you have defined a transition for a screen Monarch will wait until the transition is completed before proceeding.
+
+Transitions are configured through the `monarch.on_transition(screen_id, fn)` function. The function defines for which screen to configure transitions and sets a function to be called when a transition should be started. This function must accept (message_id, message, sender) as arguments, with `message_id` defining which type of transition to start:
+
+* `transition_show_in` (constant defined as `monarch.TRANSITION.SHOW_IN`)
+* `transition_show_out` (constant defined as `monarch.TRANSITION.SHOW_OUT`)
+* `transition_back_in` (constant defined as `monarch.TRANSITION.BACK_IN`)
+* `transition_back_out` (constant defined as `monarch.TRANSITION.BACK_OUT`)
+
+When a transition is completed it is up to the developer to send a `transition_done` (constant `monarch.TRANSITION.DONE`) message back to the sender to indicate that the transition is completed and that Monarch can continue the navigation sequence.
+
+## Transition URL
+This property is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Monarch.
+
+~~It is also possible to configure transitions through the `Transition Url` (proxy) or `Transition Id` (collectionfactory) property. This property must be the URL/Id to a script with an `on_message` handlers for the transition messages mentioned above.~~
+
+
+## Predefined transitions
+Monarch comes with a system for setting up transitions easily in a gui_script using the `monarch.transitions.gui` module. Example:
+
+```lua
+local transitions = require "monarch.transitions.gui"
+local monarch = require "monarch.monarch"
+
+function init(self)
+	-- create transitions for the node 'root'
+	-- the node will slide in/out from left and right with
+	-- a specific easing, duration and delay
+	local transition = transitions.create(gui.get_node("root"))
+		.show_in(transitions.slide_in_right, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
+		.show_out(transitions.slide_out_left, gui.EASING_INQUAD, 0.6, 0)
+		.back_in(transitions.slide_in_left, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
+		.back_out(transitions.slide_out_right, gui.EASING_INQUAD, 0.6, 0)
+
+	monarch.on_transition("foobar", transition)
+end
+
+function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
+	monarch.on_message(message_id, message, sender)
+	-- you can also check when a transition has completed:
+	if message_id == monarch.TRANSITION.DONE and message.transition == monarch.TRANSITION.SHOW_IN then
+		print("Show in done!")
+	end
+end
+```
+
+It is also possible to assign transitions to multiple nodes:
+
+```lua
+function init(self)
+	local transition = transitions.create() -- note that no node is passed to transition.create()!
+		.show_in(gui.get_node("node1"), transitions.slide_in_right, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
+		.show_in(gui.get_node("node2"), transitions.slide_in_right, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
+end
+```
+
+The predefined transitions provided by `monarch.transitions.gui` are:
+
+* `slide_in_right`
+* `slide_in_left`
+* `slide_in_top`
+* `slide_in_bottom`
+* `slide_out_right`
+* `slide_out_left`
+* `slide_out_top`
+* `slide_out_bottom`
+* `scale_in`
+* `scale_out`
+* `fade_in` - Set node alpha to fully transparent (i.e. 0.0) and fade to fully opaque (i.e. 1.0)
+* `fade_out` - Set node alpha to fully opaque (i.e. 1.0) and fade to fully transparent (i.e. 0.0)
+
+Additionally there's functionality to create a full set of transitions for common transition styles:
+
+* `transitions.in_right_out_left(node, duration, [delay], [easing])`
+* `transitions.in_left_out_right(node, duration, [delay], [easing])`
+* `transitions.in_left_out_left(node, duration, [delay], [easing])`
+* `transitions.in_right_out_right(node, duration, [delay], [easing])`
+* `transitions.fade_in_out(node, duration, [delay], [easing])`
+
+**PARAMETERS**
+* `node` (node) - Gui node to animate.
+* `duration` (number) - Transition duration in seconds.
+* `delay` (number) - Transition delay in seconds.
+* `easing` (table) - Easing table, created from a function provided by `monarch.transitions.easings`
+
+**RETURN**
+* `instance` - The created transition instance
+
+
+## Custom transitions
+You can create and use your own transition as long as the provided transition function has the following function signature:
+
+	custom_transition(node, to, easing, duration, delay, cb)
+
+**PARAMETERS**
+* `node` (node) - Gui node to animate.
+* `to` (vector3) - Target position.
+* `easing` (number) - One of gui.EASING_* constants.
+* `duration` (number) - Transition duration in seconds.
+* `delay` (number) - Transition delay in seconds.
+* `cb` (function) - This function must be called when the transition is completed.
+
+
+## Dynamic orientation and resized windows
+When using dynamic screen orientation together with gui layouts or using transitions on a platform where the window can be resized it's important to make sure that the created transitions adapt to the change in orientation or window size. The transition system takes care of layout changes automatically, but when it comes to changes in window size you need to notify the transition manually:
+
+```lua
+local transitions = require "monarch.transitions.gui"
+
+function init(self)
+	self.transition = transitions.create(gui.get_node("root"))
+end
+
+function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
+	if message_id == hash("my_resize_message") then
+		transition.window_resized(message.width, message.height)
+	end
+end
+```
+
+## Screen stack info and transitions
+The transition message sent transition listener script contains additional information about the transition. For the `transition_show_in` and `transition_back_out` messages the message contains the previous screen id:
+
+```lua
+function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
+	if message_id == hash("transition_show_in") or message_id == hash("transition_back_out") then
+		print(message.previous_screen)
+	end
+end
+```
+
+For the `transition_show_out` and `transition_back_in` messages the message contains the next screen id:
+
+```lua
+function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
+	if message_id == hash("transition_show_out") or message_id == hash("transition_back_in") then
+		print(message.next_screen)
+	end
+end
+```
+
+This information can be used to create dynamic transitions where the direction of the transition depends on the previous/next screen.
