firstly: Yay!
The release announcment looked like this ( just in case you missed it ):
We are happy to release version 0.2 of samurai-x. samurai-x is a
window manager written in pure python using ctypes, xcb and cairo.
A lot has happened since version 0.1 including:
* a new plugin system - the core samurai-x is now very small
with all other functionality added via plugins
* a new xcb binding - ooxcb - for more information
see http://docs.samurai-x.org/ooxcb/
* lots of plugins! we now have plugins for most common
features found in other window managers
For more information, including installation instructions check
http://samurai-x.org or join us in #samuraix on irc.freenode.net
Big thanks to all have helped out with samurai-x but especially to
Friedrich Weber for writing ooxcb and all the other work on
samurai-x he has done and also to Jochen Maes for hosting the
project.
So whats in store for sx 0.3 and beyond? Hopefully:
- better config management - we need some schema or something so plugins can validate configs and also show something in --default-config
- pypy support - hopefully fred is going to make us some nice rpython for ooxcb but also I hope to get sx running on pypy
- did someone say compositing...?
So stay tuned! Lots of exciting code to come!
