Hello, There are some cool new developments in Notion! We are planning to release 'Notion 4' now, which has a couple of bigger, non-backwards-compatible changes. We have finally managed to drop all of the code that was released under the Ion license, which was a modified LGPL license. This mean we will be able to release Notion 4 under the regular LGPL again. It also means there might be some features that are now missing or bugs that might re-appear. I think we've covered all the major ones, but do report it when you find any further regressions. The other most noticeable change in Notion 4 is a new default set of keybindings. You can find a schematic at https://notionwm.net/notion4keys.html . It is possible to switch back to the Notion 3 keybindings. Also, mod_statusbar is now no longer enabled by default, but instead mod_dock is. You can find a further overview of changes https://notionwm.net/migration.html . A more detailed overview can be found at https://github.com/raboof/notion/releases/tag/untagged-cc2e2e2c941f2b361883 Of course I realize the choice of window manager is a highly personal one, so even if much of the Notion 3 behaviour can be achieved in Notion 4 as well, not everyone will have a desire to switch. It is entirely fine to stay on Notion 3 if you prefer. We have also been updating some infrastructure: * The code now lives on github, https://github.com/raboof/notion (and https://github.com/raboof/notion-doc for the docs) * For discussions around specific features or topics, feel free to use the GitHub 'Issues' * We have our own domain at https://notionwm.net/ * Our IRC chat is still #notion on irc.freenode.net Before we actually release Notion 4, I would warmly welcome you to check out the code from github and give it a try, taking into account the migration guide. It would be lovely to get your feedback, either here or in the form of github issues. Kind regards, Arnout |
