The feature freeze takes place immediately. Until the 0.9 release, please apply only documentation, important bug fixes, and packaging changes to the repositories.
Between now and Sunday, we'll be working on a release announcement. Please reply with any important new features, bug fixes and compatibility notes that you'd like to see in this announcement.
Thanks, xmonad team
Out of the patches pending for core, I think these ones are seriously worth considering: 20090516104753: Fix for Tall documentation by Khudyakov Alexey <alexey.skladnoy@gmail.com> 20090727032024: correct a comment by Daniel Wagner <daniel@wagner-home.com> 20090727041612: don't emit an error on brand new installs (i.e. when neither xmonad.hs nor xmonad-$arch-$os exist) by Daniel Wagner <daniel@wagner-home.com> 20090920020829: Catch managehook errors like `doF (const undefined)' by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam@gmail.com> If we don't apply the patch described in [1] then it is very important to describe the addition of the ewmhDesktopsStartup for users upgrading from darcs. -- Adam [1] http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-October/008884.html
