update: mail sent to upstream (David H. Bronke) today asking for: - plans on near-future releases - fixing python 2.6 support I've conferred with the other PLWM developers, and we should be releasing a new version soon. (within the next week or so) I'll see about updating the ebuild and attaching a copy here once I'm done packaging the release. A new release candidate of PLWM is available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/plwm/files/plwm/2.7rc1/. This version fixes Python 2.6 compatibility issues, as well as accumulating a large number of new features since the last release. If no issues are brought up, the stable 2.7 release should be made in the next couple of weeks. For now, it's recommended to use 2.7rc1 instead of 2.6a or any previous release. Also, a new release candidate of Python-Xlib, the support library for PLWM, has been made; it can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/python-xlib/files/python-xlib/0.15rc1/. Figured I'd help out by bumping dev-python/python-xlib (to 0.15_rc1) and x11-wm/plwm (to 2.7_rc1). Asked yngwin's permission. So this is fixed. Maybe we can look into stabilising it later. Will there be something following the RC? I'm hoping to get a full release out soon. So far I've gotten no feedback on the releases I've made, so I'm assuming there's no outstanding bugs, but I want to run through some thorough tests before releasing. |
