# Change Log / Release Notes
## 0.14 (Not Yet)
### Breaking Changes
* Adding handling of modifySpacing message in smartSpacing and smartSpacingWithEdge layout modifier
* `XMonad.Actions.GridSelect`
- Added field `gs_bordercolor` to `GSConfig` to specify border color.
* `ewmh` function from `X.H.EwmhDesktops` will use `manageHook` for handling
activated window. That means, actions, which you don't want to happen on
activated windows, should be guarded by
not <$> activated
predicate. By default, with empty `ManageHook`, window activation will do
nothing.
Also, you can use regular 'ManageHook' combinators for changing window
activation behavior.
* `XMonad.Layout.Minimize`
Though the interface it offers is quite similar, this module has been
almost completely rewritten. The new `XMonad.Actions.Minimize` contains
several functions that allow interaction with minimization window state.
If you are using this module, you must upgrade your configuration to import
`X.A.Minimize` and use `maximizeWindow` and `withLastMinimized` instead of
sending messages to `Minimized` layout. `XMonad.Hooks.RestoreMinimized` has
been completely deprecated, and its functions have no effect.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Unicode`
- `unicodePrompt :: String -> XPConfig -> X ()` now additionally takes a
filepath to the `UnicodeData.txt` file containing unicode data.
* `XMonad.Actions.PhysicalScreen`
`getScreen`, `viewScreen`, `sendToScreen`, `onNextNeighbour`, `onPrevNeighbour` now need a extra parameter
of type `ScreenComparator`. This allow the user to specify how he want his screen to be ordered default
value are:
- `def`(same as verticalScreenOrderer) will keep previous behavior
- `verticalScreenOrderer`
- `horizontalScreenOrderer`
One can build his custom ScreenOrderer using:
- `screenComparatorById` (allow to order by Xinerama id)
- `screenComparatorByRectangle` (allow to order by screen coordonate)
- `ScreenComparator` (allow to mix ordering by screen coordonate and xinerama id)
* `XMonad.Util.WorkspaceCompare`
`getXineramaPhysicalWsCompare` now need a extra argument of type `ScreenComparator` defined in
`XMonad.Actions.PhysicalScreen` (see changelog of this module for more information)
* `XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops`
- Simplify ewmhDesktopsLogHookCustom, and remove the gnome-panel specific
remapping of all visible windows to the active workspace (#216).
- Handle workspace renames that might be occuring in the custom function
that is provided to ewmhDesktopsLogHookCustom.
### New Modules
* `XMonad.Hooks.Focus`
A new module extending ManageHook EDSL to work on focused windows and
current workspace.
This module will enable window activation (`_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW`) and apply
`manageHook` to activated window too. Thus, it may lead to unexpected
results, when `manageHook` previously working only for new windows, start
working for activated windows too. It may be solved, by adding
`not <$> activated` before those part of `manageHook`, which should not be
called for activated windows. But this lifts `manageHook` into
`FocusHook` and it needs to be converted back later using `manageFocus`.
* `XMonad.Actions.CycleWorkspaceByScreen`
A new module that allows cycling through previously viewed workspaces in the
order they were viewed most recently on the screen where cycling is taking
place.
Also provides the `repeatableAction` helper function which can be used to
build actions that can be repeated while a modifier key is held down.
* `XMonad.Prompt.FuzzyMatch`
Provides a predicate 'fuzzyMatch' that is much more lenient in matching
completions in XMonad.Prompt than the default prefix match. Also provides
a function 'fuzzySort' that allows sorting the fuzzy matches by "how well"
they match.
* `XMonad.Utils.SessionStart`
A new module that allows to query if this is the first time xmonad is
started of the session, or a xmonad restart.
Currently needs manual setting of the session start flag. This could be
automated when this moves to the core repository.
* `XMonad.Layout.MultiDishes`
A new layout based on Dishes, however it accepts additional configuration
to allow multiple windows within a single stack.
### Bug Fixes and Minor Changes
* XMonad.Hooks.FadeWindows
Added support for GHC version 8.4.x by adding a Semigroup instance for
Monoids
* XMonad.Hooks.WallpaperSetter
Added support for GHC version 8.4.x by adding a Semigroup instance for
Monoids
* XMonad.Hooks.Mosaic
Added support for GHC version 8.4.x by adding a Semigroup instance for
Monoids
* `XMonad.Actions.Navigation2D`
Added `sideNavigation` and a parameterised variant, providing a navigation
strategy with fewer quirks for tiled layouts using X.L.Spacing.
* `XMonad.Layout.Gaps`
Extended the sendMessage interface with `ModifyGaps` to allow arbitrary
modifications to the `GapSpec`.
* `XMonad.Layout.Groups`
Added a new `ModifyX` message type that allows the modifying
function to return values in the `X` monad.
* `XMonad.Actions.Navigation2D`
Generalised (and hence deprecated) hybridNavigation to hybridOf.
* `XMonad.Layout.LayoutHints`
Preserve the window order of the modified layout, except for the focused
window that is placed on top. This fixes an issue where the border of the
focused window in certain situations could be rendered below borders of
unfocused windows. It also has a lower risk of interfering with the
modified layout.
* `XMonad.Layout.MultiColumns`
The focused window is placed above the other windows if they would be made to
overlap due to a layout modifier. (As long as it preserves the window order.)
* `XMonad.Actions.GridSelect`
- The vertical centring of text in each cell has been improved.
* `XMonad.Actions.SpawnOn`
- Bind windows spawns by child processes of the original window to the same
workspace as the original window.
* `XMonad.Util.WindowProperties`
- Added the ability to test if a window has a tag from
`XMonad.Actions.TagWindows`
* `XMonad.Layout.Magnifier`
- Handle `IncMasterN` messages.
* `XMonad.Util.EZConfig`
- Can now parse Latin1 keys, to better accommodate users with
non-US keyboards.
* `XMonad.Actions.Submap`
Establish pointer grab to avoid freezing X, when button press occurs after
submap key press. And terminate submap at button press in the same way,
as we do for wrong key press.
* `XMonad.Hooks.SetWMName`
Add function `getWMName`.
* `XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers`
Make type of ManageHook combinators more general.
* `XMonad.Prompt`
Export `insertString`.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Window`
- New function: `windowMultiPrompt` for using `mkXPromptWithModes`
with window prompts.
* `XMonad.Hooks.WorkspaceHistory`
- Now supports per screen history.
* `XMonad.Layout.ComboP`
- New `PartitionWins` message to re-partition all windows into the
configured sub-layouts. Useful when window properties have
changed and you want to re-sort windows into the appropriate
sub-layout.
* `XMonad.Actions.Minimize`
- Now has `withFirstMinimized` and `withFirstMinimized'` so you can perform
actions with both the last and first minimized windows easily.
* `XMonad.Config.Gnome`
- Update logout key combination (modm+shift+Q) to work with modern
* `XMonad.Prompt.Pass`
- New function `passTypePrompt` which uses `xdotool` to type in a password
from the store, bypassing the clipboard.
- Now handles password labels with spaces and special characters inside
them.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Unicode`
- Persist unicode data cache across XMonad instances due to
`ExtensibleState` now used instead of `unsafePerformIO`.
- `typeUnicodePrompt :: String -> XPConfig -> X ()` provided to insert the
Unicode character via `xdotool` instead of copying it to the paste buffer.
- `mkUnicodePrompt :: String -> [String] -> String -> XPConfig -> X ()`
acts as a generic function to pass the selected Unicode character to any
program.
* `XMonad.Prompt.AppendFile`
- New function `appendFilePrompt'` which allows for transformation of the
string passed by a user before writing to a file.
* `XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog`
- Added a new function `dzenWithFlags` which allows specifying the arguments
passed to `dzen2` invocation. The behaviour of current `dzen` function is
unchanged.
* `XMonad.Util.Dzen`
- Now provides functions `fgColor` and `bgColor` to specify foreground and
background color, `align` and `slaveAlign` to set text alignment, and
`lineCount` to enable a second (slave) window that displays lines beyond
the initial (title) one.
## 0.13 (February 10, 2017)
### Breaking Changes
* The type of `completionKey` (of `XPConfig` record) has been
changed from `KeySym` to `(KeyMask, KeySym)`. The default value
for this is still bound to the `Tab` key.
* New constructor `CenteredAt Rational Rational` added for
`XMonad.Prompt.XPPosition`.
* `XMonad.Prompt` now stores its history file in the XMonad cache
directory in a file named `prompt-history`.
### New Modules
* `XMonad.Layout.SortedLayout`
A new LayoutModifier that sorts a given layout by a list of
properties. The order of properties in the list determines
the order of windows in the final layout. Any unmatched windows
go to the end of the order.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Unicode`
A prompt to search a unicode character by its name, and put it into the
clipboard.
* `XMonad.Util.Ungrab`
Release xmonad's keyboard and pointer grabs immediately, so
screen grabbers and lock utilities, etc. will work. Replaces
the short sleep hackaround.
* `XMonad.Util.Loggers.NamedScratchpad`
A collection of Loggers (see `XMonad.Util.Loggers`) for NamedScratchpads
(see `XMonad.Util.NamedScratchpad`).
* `XMonad.Util.NoTaskbar`
Utility function and `ManageHook` to mark a window to be ignored by
EWMH taskbars and pagers. Useful for `NamedScratchpad` windows, since
you will usually be taken to the `NSP` workspace by them.
### Bug Fixes and Minor Changes
* `XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks`,
- Fix a very annoying bug where taskbars/docs would be
covered by windows.
- Also fix a bug that caused certain Gtk and Qt application to
have issues displaying menus and popups.
* `XMonad.Layout.LayoutBuilder`
Merge all functionality from `XMonad.Layout.LayoutBuilderP` into
`XMonad.Layout.LayoutBuilder`.
* `XMonad.Actions.WindowGo`
- Fix `raiseNextMaybe` cycling between 2 workspaces only.
* `XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer`
- Fix bug when cursor gets stuck in one of the corners.
* `XMonad.Actions.DynamicProjects`
- Switching away from a dynamic project that contains no windows
automatically deletes that project's workspace.
The project itself was already being deleted, this just deletes
the workspace created for it as well.
- Added function to change the working directory (`changeProjectDirPrompt`)
- All of the prompts are now multiple mode prompts. Try using the
`changeModeKey` in a prompt and see what happens!
## 0.12 (December 14, 2015)
### Breaking Changes
* `XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer.updatePointer` arguments were
changed. This allows including aspects of both of the
`TowardsCentre` and `Relative` methods. To keep the same behavior,
replace the entry in the left column with the entry on the right:
| < 0.12 | >= 0.12 |
|-------------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| `updatePointer Nearest` | `updatePointer (0.5, 0.5) (1,1)` |
| `updatePointer (Relative x y)` | `updatePointer (x,y) (0,0)` |
| `updatePointer (TowardsCentre x y)` | `updatePointer (0.5,0.5) (x,y)` |
### New Modules
* `XMonad.Actions.AfterDrag`
Perform an action after the current mouse drag is completed.
* `XMonad.Actions.DynamicProjects`
Imbues workspaces with additional features so they can be treated
as individual project areas.
* `XMonad.Actions.LinkWorkspaces`
Provides bindings to add and delete links between workspaces. It
is aimed at providing useful links between workspaces in a
multihead setup. Linked workspaces are viewed at the same time.
* `XMonad.Config.Bepo`
This module fixes some of the keybindings for the francophone
among you who use a BEPO keyboard layout. Based on
`XMonad.Config.Azerty`
* `XMonad.Config.Dmwit`
Daniel Wagner's configuration.
* `XMonad.Config.Mate`
This module provides a config suitable for use with the MATE
desktop environment.
* `XMonad.Config.Prime`
A draft of a brand new config syntax for xmonad.
* `XMonad.Hooks.DynamicProperty`
Module to apply a `ManageHook` to an already-mapped window when a
property changes. This would commonly be used to match browser
windows by title, since the final title will only be set after (a)
the window is mapped, (b) its document has been loaded, (c) all
load-time scripts have run.
* `XMonad.Hooks.ManageDebug`
A `manageHook` and associated `logHook` for debugging `ManageHook`s.
Simplest usage: wrap your xmonad config in the `debugManageHook`
combinator. Or use `debugManageHookOn` for a triggerable version,
specifying the triggering key sequence in `XMonad.Util.EZConfig`
syntax. Or use the individual hooks in whatever way you see fit.
* `XMonad.Hooks.WallpaperSetter`
Log hook which changes the wallpapers depending on visible
workspaces.
* `XMonad.Hooks.WorkspaceHistory`
Keeps track of workspace viewing order.
* `XMonad.Layout.AvoidFloats`
Find a maximum empty rectangle around floating windows and use
that area to display non-floating windows.
* `XMonad.Layout.BinarySpacePartition`
Layout where new windows will split the focused window in half,
based off of BSPWM.
* `XMonad.Layout.Dwindle`
Three layouts: The first, `Spiral`, is a reimplementation of
`XMonad.Layout.Spiral.spiral` with, at least to me, more intuitive
semantics. The second, `Dwindle`, is inspired by a similar layout
in awesome and produces the same sequence of decreasing window
sizes as Spiral but pushes the smallest windows into a screen
corner rather than the centre. The third, `Squeeze` arranges all
windows in one row or in one column, with geometrically decreasing
sizes.
* `XMonad.Layout.Hidden`
Similar to `XMonad.Layout.Minimize` but completely removes windows
from the window set so `XMonad.Layout.BoringWindows` isn't
necessary. Perfect companion to `XMonad.Layout.BinarySpacePartition`
since it can be used to move windows to another part of the BSP tree.
* `XMonad.Layout.IfMax`
Provides `IfMax` layout, which will run one layout if there are
maximum `N` windows on workspace, and another layout, when number
of windows is greater than `N`.
* `XMonad.Layout.PerScreen`
Configure layouts based on the width of your screen; use your
favorite multi-column layout for wide screens and a full-screen
layout for small ones.
* `XMonad.Layout.Stoppable`
This module implements a special kind of layout modifier, which when
applied to a layout, causes xmonad to stop all non-visible processes.
In a way, this is a sledge-hammer for applications that drain power.
For example, given a web browser on a stoppable workspace, once the
workspace is hidden the web browser will be stopped.
* `XMonad.Prompt.ConfirmPrompt`
A module for setting up simple confirmation prompts for
keybindings.
* `XMonad.Prompt.Pass`
This module provides 3 `XMonad.Prompt`s to ease passwords
manipulation (generate, read, remove) via [pass][].
* `XMonad.Util.RemoteWindows`
This module implements a proper way of finding out whether the
window is remote or local.
* `XMonad.Util.SpawnNamedPipe`
A module for spawning a pipe whose `Handle` lives in the xmonad state.
* `XMonad.Util.WindowState`
Functions for saving per-window data.
### Miscellaneous Changes
* Fix issue #9: `XMonad.Prompt.Shell` `searchPredicate` is ignored,
defaults to `isPrefixOf`
* Fix moveHistory when alwaysHighlight is enabled
* `XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaceGroups` now exports `addRawWSGroup`
* Side tabs were added to the tabbed layout
* `XMonad/Layout/IndependentScreens` now exports `marshallSort`
* `XMonad/Hooks/UrgencyHook` now exports `clearUrgency`
* Exceptions are now caught when finding commands on `PATH` in `Prompt.Shell`
* Switched to `Data.Default` wherever possible
* `XMonad.Layout.IndependentScreens` now exports `whenCurrentOn`
* `XMonad.Util.NamedActions` now exports `addDescrKeys'`
* EWMH `DEMANDS_ATTENTION` support added to `UrgencyHook`
* New `useTransientFor` modifier in `XMonad.Layout.TrackFloating`
* Added the ability to remove arbitrary workspaces
## 0.9 (October 26, 2009)
### 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.
