* Read is no longer a superclass of Layout
* All of the core layouts have moved to the new Layouts.hs module
* Select has been replaced by the new statically typed Choose combinator,
which is heavily based on David Roundy's NewSelect proposal for
XMonadContrib. Consequently:
- Rather than a list of choosable layouts, we use the ||| combinator to
combine several layouts into a single switchable layout
- We've lost the capability to JumpToLayout and PrevLayout. Both can be
added with some effort
The X11-extras library has been merged into the larger X11 library,
so we now drop the dependency on X11-extras, and instead build
against the new X11 library.
If you apply this patch you must build and install X11-1.3.0 or greater
first,
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/X11-1.3.0
You can also go ahead and wipe X11-extras from GHC's memory, (for ghci to work
out of the box with the testsuite)
$ ghc-pkg unregister X11-extras
$ ghc-pkg unregister --user X11-extras
I realize this is a big change, but the name 'findIndex' was confusing for me, since I expected it to return some sort of integer. What it actually does, of course, is return a workspace tag, which might be more general than an index.
Of course, this change breaks several contrib modules; I'll submit a patch to make the change there as well.
I'm not 100% sure that I understand what's going on here, but it seems as though the comment still described an older state of affairs. I don't see any Map Workspace Screen keeping track of visible workspaces.
Comments: the -Wall thing was just trying to say -Wall -Werror should work. The license thing was too narrow - or are my public domain contributions unwelcome because they are not BSD-3? I think comments are most important for exported functions users will use; it isn't so important for helper functions (used only in the module) to be very well-documented, right?
