[ANNOUNCE] awesome 3.3-rc1 released
Hi folks, This is the time to close our merge window. Lot of thing has slipped in, I'll make an incomplete summary for you, because I'm very nice: - Remove socket interface in favor of D-Bus; - awful.menu can use keyboard navigation; - wibox can now have a background image; - beautiful now reads theme in Lua format, allowing to do a lot of things we could not; - lots of focus fix; - brand new titlebars with a lot of new icons; - prompt widget has been moved in awful and can now reports launch error; - usage of startup-notification so we can get event of starting/started; - naughty gets support for data icon in notification; - new Lua object system; that should be totally invisible for most users, but that's probably the internal killer feature of awesome 3.3; - do not ignore Mod2 and CapsLock by default. There's many more change actually, but you won't probably notice it as a user, but the full list is below if you are curious. People upgrading should take care of a couple things. The main one is that you may not want using key() directly to create your key binding. They used to ignore NumLock and CapsLock, but now, they are not, that means binding Mod4+j will only work if Mod4 and only Mod4 is pressed; and CapsLock and NumLock (Mod2) are modifiers, so if they are on, it will fail. We added awful.key and awful.button to re-add some modifiers to ignore. By default Mod2 and CapsLock are ignored as before, but you need to replace your call to key() to awful.key() to have that. Take a look at the differences between the 2 default rc.lua. Also themes have been rewritting using Lua, that's just minimal syntax changes and should not be too much a pain to change. Thanks to everyone that work during this (almost) 2 months. Let's go for another ride and work on awesome 3.4 now!

No problem. I think working on this week allowed me to kill some bug in
the keyboard, so that's not so bad.
I postpone merging for 3.4.

Hum, maybe you should not show ALL classes, by default, but first print
classes, then let the user choose.

Why not. :)

This should be possible. We already generate luadoc for the C api so

Prompt with auto-completion should be doable also, sure.

This is not us, this is luadoc doing that.

luadoc again. :)

I agree.
My advice: let it go. Don't spend too much time to work on display, just
let as it is on your current screenshot, it would be sufficient for now.
What we need to enhance that is not adding various hack to have a good
display. We need Gregor's work on widget layouts, which I hope will be
ready for merging soon. Then we will write a proper display in naughty
or in something else.
