AntiWM / News: Recent posts

Alright folks, it's been a while. I did not release 0.0.4 to the public. It was an attempted rewrite and features were added that wound up causing more problems than they were worth. So 0.0.4 was scrapped, and 0.0.5 is now being presented. A major bug that was causing a 100% CPU spike was fixed, along with some more minor bugs. Please continue using AntiWM and providing feedback.

Today marks the 0.0.3 release of AntiWM. The Makefile has been updated to correctly point to xlib on more systems (I hope), debugging messages were updated, and code was pruned slightly.

This is the second public release of AntiWM, the full-screen only window manager. Version 0.0.2 brings bug fixes to the code, as well as many small optimizations. Debug processes and messages have been reworked, code has been cleaned up considerably, and documentation is more concise.

If there are any troubles with AntiWM, please report them to the project tracker, and feel free to submit to the mailing list as well.

I've been busy doing manual code cleanup and beautification, as well as minor optimizations. If anybody has any comments, suggestions, or bugs, please post them prior to May 28, 2008, as June 1 is the next expected release date. Bugs and Feature Requests may be reported to the Tracker as well as the Mailing List. Comments are to be posted to the user mailing list. Those interested in helping develop AntiWM should post initial requests to the devel mailing list along with a short list of qualifications. Thank you again for your interest in AntiWM!
