━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ XMONAD AND XMONAD-CONTRIB 0.17.1 ARE AVAILABLE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ New versions of xmonad and xmonad-contrib have been released. Check out our [download page] for instructions on where to get them. About 10 months after the big release of 0.17.0, we—as promised—picked up the pace a bit and are back with a new minor version; don't let that fool you though, this one still packs a punch! Plus, we now sport a brand-new [logo], courtesy of [Hans Heintze]. As this is a minor release, we tried to keep the breaking changes to a minimum (xmonad core does not have a single one!) However, some were unavoidable for `xmonad-contrib', so be sure to at least glance at the [release notes]! For help getting started—or more info—see [our website] and [talk to us]! If you like what we do, you can support us on [Open Collective] or via [GitHub Sponsors]. Thanks!

[xmonad's CHANGES.md] https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/blob/v0.17.1/CHANGES.md 1.1 Enhancements ──────────────── • Added custom cursor shapes for resizing and moving windows. 1.2 Bug Fixes ───────────── • Change the main loop to try to avoid [GHC bug 21708] on systems running GHC 9.2 up to version 9.2.3. The issue has been fixed in [GHC 9.2.4] and all later releases. • Fixed border color of windows with alpha channel. Now all windows have the same opaque border color.

For a full summary of all the changes, see [xmonad-contrib's CHANGES.md] file. [xmonad-contrib's CHANGES.md] https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/v0.17.1/CHANGES.md 2.1 Breaking Changes ──────────────────── • `XMonad.Config.{Arossato,Dmwit,Droundy,Monad,Prime,Saegesser,Sjanssen}': deprecated all of these modules. The user-specific configuration modules may still be found [on the website]. • `XMonad.Util.NamedScratchpad': scratchpads are now only based on the argument given to `namedScratchpadManageHook'; all other scratchpad arguments are, while still present, ignored. Users passing all of their scratchpads to functions like `namedScratchpadAction' (as is shown in the module's documentation) should /not/ notice any difference in behaviour. • `XMonad.Util.DynamicScratchpads': deprecated the module; use the new dynamic scratchpad functionality of `XMonad.Util.NamedScratchpad' instead. • `XMonad.Hooks.UrgencyHook': deprecated `urgencyConfig'; use `def' from the new `Default' instance of `UrgencyConfig' instead. [on the website] https://xmonad.org/configurations.html 2.2 New Modules ─────────────── • `XMonad.Hooks.Modal': a module implementing modal keybindings for XMonad. • `XMonad.Layout.SideBorderDecoration': this module allows for having a configurable border position around windows; i.e., it can move the border to either cardinal direction. • `XMonad.Actions.PerLayoutKeys': a new module for customising keybindings on a per-layout basis. • `XMonad.Actions.RepeatAction': a module for adding a keybinding to repeat the last action, similar to Vim's `.' or Emacs's `dot-mode'. 2.3 Bug Fixes and Minor Changes ─────────────────────────────── • `XMonad.Prompt' and `XMonad.Actions.TreeSelect': added xft-based font fallback support. This may be used by appending other fonts to the given string: `xft:iosevka-11,FontAwesome-9'. Note that this requires `xmonad-contrib' to be compiled with `X11-xft' version 0.3.4 or higher. • `XMonad.Util.Run': added an EDSL—particularly geared towards programs like terminals or Emacs—to spawn processes from XMonad in a compositional way. • `XMonad.Util.Hacks': added `trayerPaddingXmobarEventHook' (plus generic variants for other trays/panels) to communicate trayer resize events to xmobar so that padding space may be reserved on xmobar for the tray. Requires `xmobar' version 0.40 or higher. • `XMonad.Prompt.OrgMode': added the ability to specify alphabetic (`#A', `#B', and `#C') [priorities] at the end of the input note. • `XMonad.Actions.Submap': added `visualSubmap' to visualise the available keys and their actions when inside a submap. • `XMonad.Util.NamedScratchpad': added support for dynamic scratchpads in the form of `dynamicNSPAction' and `toggleDynamicNSP'. • `XMonad.Hooks.WindowSwallowing': fixed windows getting lost when used in conjunction with `smartBorders' and a single window.
