xmonad-contrib v0.9 Release Notes

Release Date: 2009-10-26 // over 14 years ago

  • ⚡️ Updates that Require Changes in xmonad.hs

    • XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops no longer uses layoutHook, the ewmhDesktopsLayout modifier has been removed from xmonad-contrib. It uses logHook, handleEventHook, and startupHook instead and provides a convenient function ewmh to add EWMH support to a defaultConfig.

    • Most DynamicLog users can continue with configs unchanged, but users of the quickbar functions xmobar or dzen will need to change xmonad.hs: their types have changed to allow easier composition with other XConfig modifiers. The dynamicLogDzen and dynamicLogXmobar functions have been removed.

    • WindowGo or safeSpawn users may need to change command lines due to safeSpawn changes.

    • People explicitly referencing the "SP" scratchpad workspace should change it to "NSP" which is also used by the new Util.NamedScratchpad module.

    • (Optional) People who explicitly use swapMaster in key or mouse bindings should change it to shiftMaster. It's the current default used where swapMaster had been used previously. It works better than swapMaster when using floating and tiled windows together on the same workspace.
