Great work but is there any chance to see a matching updated xmonad-extras package? I use XMonad.Util.WindowPropertiesRE in my xmonad.hs so it would be nice to have a version with matching constraints on Hackage (I assume it would still be compatible since the Changes page talks mostly about bugfixes). I believe the main reason xmonad-extras is not part of xmonad-contrib was something related to dependencies the authors did not want to force on everyone.

About:

xmonad is a leading tiling window manager, known for its lightness, reliability, extensibility and efficiency. It supports true multiheaded tiling, and rich, rapid customisation. It is also highly portable, running on regular desktops, laptops, netbooks, phones, game consoles, the OLPC, and more.

Features:

* Very stable, fast, small and simple. * Automatic window tiling and management * First class keyboard support: a mouse is unnecessary * Full support for tiling windows on multi-head displays * Full support for floating, tabbing and decorated windows * Full support for Gnome and KDE utilities * XRandR support to rotate, add or remove monitors * Per-workspace layout algorithms * Per-screens custom status bars * Compositing support * Powerful, stable customisation and reconfiguration * Large extension library * Excellent, extensive documentation * Large, active development team, support and community

Get it!

Information, screenshots, documentation, tutorials and community resources are available from the xmonad home page:

http://xmonad.org

The 0.11 release, and its dependencies, are available from hackage.haskell.org:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad

xmonad packages are available in pretty much every package system, including.

Debian, Gentoo, Arch, Ubuntu, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Gobo, NixOS, Source Mage, Slackware

and 0.11 packages will appear in coming days.

On the fly updating to xmonad 0.11 is supported, without losing your session! You can even use cabal-install:

$ cabal update $ cabal install xmonad $ cabal install xmonad-contrib $ xmonad --recompile; xmonad --restart

Extensions:

xmonad comes with a huge library of extensions (now around 15 times the size of xmonad itself), contributed by viewers like you.

Extensions allow for all sorts of functionality and enhancements to the window manager, via Haskell in your config file. For more information on using and writing extensions see the webpage. The library of extensions is available from hackage:

http://hackage.haskell.org/xmonad-contrib

Full documentation for using and writing your own extensions:

As well as the support of many others on the #xmonad and #haskell IRC channels, and the wider Haskell and window manager communities.

Thanks to everyone for their support!

Perfect but did you forget to push the changes to the xmonad darcs repository? The XMonadContrib repository seems to be updated but not the xmonad repository.

Seems reasonable. One of us Daniels should get around to it in the next few days, never fear -- and thanks for the reminder. Happy new year! ~d

thanks. Am I right in noticing that http://code.haskell.org/xmonad is not updated yet?

Hi Joachim, Yes that was an oversight on my part. The patches are there now. -- Adam
