* Reimplement sendMessage to deal properly with windowset changes made
during handling.
* Add new library functions windowBracket and modifyWindowSet to
XMonad.Operations.
0.14 (July 30, 2018)
Bug Fixes
* The state file that xmonad uses while restarting itself is now
removed after it is processed. This fixes a bug that manifested in
several different ways:
* Names of old workspaces would be resurrected after a restart
* Screen sizes would be wrong after changing monitor configuration
(#90)
* spawnOnce stopped working (xmonad/xmonad-contrib#155)
* Focus did not follow when moving between workspaces (#87)
* etc.
* Recover old behavior (in 0.12) when focusFollowsMouse == True: the
focus follows when the mouse enters another workspace but not moving
into any window.
* Compiles with GHC 8.4.1
* Restored compatability with GHC version prior to 8.0.1 by removing
the dependency on directory version 1.2.3.
0.13 (February 10, 2017)
Breaking Changes
* When restarting xmonad, resume state is no longer passed to the next
process via the command line. Instead, a temporary state file is
created and xmonad's state is serialized to that file.
* When upgrading to 0.13 from a previous version, the --resume command
line option will automatically migrate to a state file.
* This fixes issue #12.
Enhancements
* You can now control which directory xmonad uses for finding your
configuration file and which one is used for storing the compiled
version of your configuration. In order of preference:
* New environment variables. If you want to use these ensure you set
the correct environment variable and also create the directory it
references:
* XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR
* XMONAD_CACHE_DIR
* XMONAD_DATA_DIR
* The ~/.xmonad directory.
* XDG Base Directory Specification directories, if they exist:
* XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xmonad
* XDG_CACHE_HOME/xmonad
* XDG_DATA_HOME/xmonad
* If none of these directories exist then one will be created using
the following logic: If the relevant environment variable mentioned
in step (1) above is set, the referent directory will be created and
used. Otherwise ~/.xmonad will be created and used.
* This fixes a few issues, notably #7 and #56.
* A custom build script can be used when xmonad is given the
--recompile command line option. If an executable named build exists
in the xmonad configuration directory it will be called instead of
ghc. It takes one argument, the name of the executable binary it
must produce.
* This fixes#8. (One of two possible custom build solutions. See the
next entry for another solution.)
* For users who build their xmonad configuration using tools such as
cabal or stack, there is another option for executing xmonad.
* Instead of running the xmonad executable directly, arrange to have
your login manager run your configuration binary instead. Then, in
your binary, use the new launch command instead of xmonad.
* This will keep xmonad from using its configuration file
checking/compiling code and directly start the window manager
without execing any other binary.
* See the documentation for the launch function in XMonad.Main for
more details.
* Fixes#8. (Second way to have a custom build environment for
XMonad. See previous entry for another solution.)
Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.
CHANGES:
## 0.12 (December 14, 2015)
* Compiles with GHC 7.10.2, 7.8.4, and 7.6.3
* Use of [data-default][] allows using `def` where previously you
had to write `defaultConfig`, `defaultXPConfig`, etc.
* The [setlocale][] package is now used instead of a binding shipped
with xmonad proper allowing the use of `Main.hs` instead of
`Main.hsc`
* No longer encodes paths for `spawnPID`
* The default `manageHook` no longer floats Gimp windows
* Doesn't crash when there are fewer workspaces than screens
* `Query` is now an instance of `Applicative`
* Various improvements to the example configuration file

xmonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are arranged
automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximising
screen use. All features of the window manager are accessible from
the keyboard: a mouse is strictly optional. xmonad is written and
extensible in Haskell. Custom layout algorithms, and other
extensions, may be written by the user in config files. Layouts are
applied dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each
workspace. Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled
on several screens.
