We're preparing the long-awaited release of xmonad 0.9! Here's the time-table:
- Thursday, Oct 22: repository freeze - Friday, Oct 23: release candidate packaged and published - Sunday, Oct 25: xmonad 0.9 release
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.
Could we get the fix for issue 177 in for 0.9? Basically any java/swing apps don't work right without it and evidently things like on-screen keyboards too.
Thanks, Geoff Reedy
I think that the implications of this patch are too significant to apply right before a release. Adam Vogt made an animated gif [1] that demonstrates one oustanding issue. The bullets window has xmonad focus, but another window has keyboard focus, we need a better solution there. We will be applying this patch (perhaps with some tweaks) immediately after the 0.9 release. If the changes aren't too extensive, we'll make a 0.9.1 bugfix release so users don't have to wait for 1.0. Cheers, Spencer Janssen [1] http://omploader.org/vMmxtbQ/out.gif
