    • xmobar app new has WM_CLASS, WM_NAME and _NET_WM_PID xprops (issue 38).

    Incompatible changes

    • In the process of solving issue 14, we've broken those configurations that rely on including alignment separators in the input fed to StdinReader.
    • The MPD plugin does not accept host and port options anymore: use the environment variables MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT instead.
