We're pleased to announce the release of scx 0.2 and the release of
Orion 0.2.
Scx is an interface to Xlib for the Scheme implementation scsh.
Orion is a window manager for the X11 windowing system. Orion is
written in Scheme and accesses Xlib via the scx library for scsh.
Starting with this release, scx gets installed as a library using the
scsh packaging proposal. This greatly simplifies the installation
process. Orion 0.2 comes with some more advanced features such as
support for full-screen windows and partial support for motif
hints. In addition, several bugs have been fixed.
Orion 0.2 is available from
<ftp://ftp.scsh.net/pub/scsh/packages/orion-wm/orion-0.2.tar.gz>
Scx 0.2 is available from
<ftp://ftp.scsh.net/pub/scsh/packages/scx/scx-0.2.tar.gz>
Changes in Orion 0.2:
=====================
* Killing a window is more reliable
* Improved focus handling
* New command APPLY in the user bindings allows calling a Scheme function
* added a possibility to change the client ordering with the keyboard:
- "M-k t" moves a client to right (swaps with the next client)

* Better command completion
* Load scx and Sunterlib using -lel
* (partial) support for motif hints (_MOTIF_WM_HINTS)
