Preparing for v0.12 Release

This is a notice that I'm actively working on the 0.12 release and a call to action for the xmonad community. As part of this release I've reformatted the README files as Markdown for nicer display on both Hackage and GitHub. I've also created CHANGES.md files since Hackage supports package change logs. Please take a moment to review these files, especially the change logs. Let me know if anything is missing or incorrect. I believe we should be able to make a release this week. That means you don't have much time to review these files. https://github.com/pjones/xmonad/tree/release-0.12 https://github.com/pjones/xmonad-contrib/tree/release-0.12 Thanks! -- Peter Jones, Founder, Devalot.com Defending the honor of good code

Hi Peter,
Thanks for taking this on.
It seems like CHANGES.md is a slightly less detailed version of
https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Notable_changes_since_0.11 . Probably they
could reference each other, if they both should continue to exist.
Cheers,
Adam

It probably doesn't make a lot of sense for both to exist. I personally prefer CHANGES.md since: 1) Hackage will show the file, and Hackage seems like a great place to display a list of changes 2) Being part of the repository, we could ask everyone to make appropriate updates to the CHANGES.md file with each pull request/patch That said, I'm open to other ideas. I'll incorporate details from the wiki into CHANGES.md file for now, assuming that the wiki version is going to die. -- Peter Jones, Founder, Devalot.com Defending the honor of good code

I've pulled in the notes from the wiki and added additional details: https://github.com/pjones/xmonad-contrib/blob/release-0.12/CHANGES.md -- Peter Jones, Founder, Devalot.com Defending the honor of good code
