The xmonad team has finally been `seq`ed into making a new release, and there are a few things you can do to help: - test these release candidate tarballs http://xmonad.org/xmonad-0.7.20080820.tar.gz http://xmonad.org/xmonad-contrib-0.7.20080820.tar.gz - let us know about any critical issues that should be fixed before the release - check the documentation of your favorite modules, and submit bugs or patches for any missing docs - contributors please only push bugfixes and documentation updates until 0.8 is released - help us update the wiki documentation (the KDE and GNOME guides should be updated to use XMonad.Config.*, for example) - check the brief change list below, and tell me what I've missed. These changes will be mentioned in the release announcement, so we're looking for new functionality, important bug fixes, and compatibility notices See you on the other side of 0.8, The xmonad team core: gaps removed floats always use current screen setlocale/make title locale aware performance hack, reduced window redraws made (|||) associative contrib: Perworkspace: selectively apply layout modifiers to workspaces ManageDocks: ability to toggle gaps on each side of the screen separately HintedGride layout XMonad.Layout.Gaps: a layout modifier for manual gaps locale awareness for window titles, UTF-8 support ManageHelpers: some support for _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN XMonad.Config.{Desktop, Gnome, Kde, Xfce} XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog: xmobar function for starting xmobar WindowNavigation improvements PlainConfig? remove ScratchWorkspace (no longer maintained) XMonad.Hooks.FadeInactive: works with xcompmgr to fade inactive windows new Scratchpad
