I think the status quo of Window Maker development (whatever that means) could be improved if both the Window Maker homepage and the wikipedia stop saying that the latest "stable" release of Window Maker is the 6-year-old 0.92.0, which has known bugs (some of them are fixed in wmaker-crm).
A lot of people who use Window Maker no longer runs 0.92.0 for a _long_ time already because of stability. So those sources of information are not reflecting the truth(tm). Some time ago John Robinson, who is in charge of windowmaker.org and has received the blessing of Alfredo and Dan to say what's the official Window Maker, asked me if I'd like to move wmaker-crm to being the official Window Maker. Back then, I refused. Not because I'm attached to the -crm suffix, but because it made things simpler for me if I didn't have to worry about messing up with the reputation that Window Maker has. If (or when) I screw up things, it's wmaker-crm who is to blame. But I changed my mind and Robinson agreed about making an official release based on wmaker-crm, and we'll call it 0.95.1 soon. So I've just pushed all the latest patches to #master and I'd like people to test it and report back. I'm not trained in making official releases, so I accept patches changing the library version and things like that. Patches fixing bugs or cleaning up the code are always accepted :-) If anyone is against this move, please say so. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
