Isn't it time for a new release? Been using xmonad from darcs without issues for a long time.

Also, xmonad-extras needs an update to support recent versions of libmpd.

Can we cut a release?

Certainly. The hard deadline is the ghc-7.10 release which can't compile what's currently on hackage. The end of the week seems realistic to check: Release notes Broken links in contrib haddocks That we are compatible with ghc s back to 6.12 or so Regards, Adam On Mar 2, 2015 12:30 PM, "Carsten Mattner" wrote:

Some friendly suggestions: I'd very much like to see a release happen this month and start to get into a habit of at least a couple release a year. Infrequent releases may contribute to the perception of Darcs being the reason for project stalls. Someone with good writing skills might also want to communicate the nice Xmonad Prompt modules as advanced replacements for dmenu and one less external dependency and Xmonad-only feature like other window managers that don't require dmenu. Just a thought. On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 4:43 PM, Carsten Mattner wrote:

GHC 7.10 is out and Darcs HEAD works. Time for release? Communicating the Xmonad Prompt modules is icing on the cake best done by someone with good writing skills but not blocker for the release.

What's the release holdup? I'm not good at writing blog post but like I suggested before the release announcement could be enhanced by including at least examples for replacing dmenu with XMonad.Prompt.Shell and maybe the password manager prompt. It's been in contrib a long time but seems largely unknown. Someone with nice writing skills could write a short blurb.
