Scwm 0.7a is released. Version 0.7 had a number of bugs, some of which kept it from even compiling out of the box with some versions of Guile. Version 0.7a remedies these and many other bugs. This version works with Guile 1.2 as well as the latest snapshot - really this time. I built and tested fresh exports before tarring it up. * What scwm is: Scwm is the Scheme Configurable Window Manager. This is a highly dynamic and extensible window manager for the X Window System (based originally on fvwm2, but now much enhanced) with Guile Scheme as the configuration/extension language. Nearly all decorations can be changed at run-time or per-window, and eventually many decoration styles and additional features will be supported through dynamically loaded code. A powerful protocol is provided for interacting with the window manager while it is running. * Primary Authors: Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@mit.edu> Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu> * Where you can find more info: Some information about scwm is available at: http://web.mit.edu/mstachow/www/scwm.html There are also scwm-discuss@huis-clos.mit.edu and scwm-announce@huis-clos.mit.edu mailing lists for disscussion and release announcements repsectively. You can subscribe to either at majordomo@huis-clos.mit.edu * Where you can get it: You can download the latest scwm package from: http://web.mit.edu/mstachow/www/scwm-0.7a.tar.gz There is also http://web.mit.edu/mstachow/www/scwm-icons-0.7.tar.gz which has a number of images for use with scwm as icons, textures, buttons, etc. Some of these images are not available otherwise. You will also need to download and install the guile library. You can get the latest release from: ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/guile-1.2.tar.gz or any archive that has GNU source packages available. You can get the latest guile snapshot (likely to have more useful features and generally work better) from: ftp://red-bean.com/pub/guile The snapshots are officially alpha but they generally work pretty well.
