Scwm @VERSION@ is released. * What Scwm is: Scwm is the Scheme Constraints Window Manager, a highly dynamic and extensible window manager for the X Window System. Scwm embeds Guile Scheme as the configuration and extension language, and includes a sophisticated constraint solver for permitting the user to interactively specify constraints among top-level window sizes and positions. Nearly all decorations can be changed at run-time on a per-window basis. Dynamic loading of C modules is supported. Scwm is self-documenting and provides A powerful protocol for interacting with the window manager from other processes. * Primary Authors: Greg J. Badros Maciej Stachowiak Other substantial contributors include: Robert Bihlmeyer , Todd Larason , Jeff Nichols , and Sam Steingold . Many more people have contributed bug reports, bug fixes, or smaller changes; see AUTHORS and THANKS in the distribution. * Where you can find more info: Some information about scwm is available at: http://scwm.mit.edu There are also scwm-discuss@scwm.mit.edu and scwm-announce@scwm.mit.edu mailing lists for disscussion and release announcements repsectively.

You will also need to download and install the guile library. You can get the latest release from: ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/guile or any archive that has GNU source packages available. Guile 1.3.4 is recommended because all testing by the developers is done against that version, the latest stable release of Guile. Guile 1.2 is no longer supported, but Guile-1.3 may still work with only minimal loss of functionality (Guile-1.3.2 was buggy and should be avoided). * Packages Various binary RPMs are available at: ftp://scwm.mit.edu/pub/scwm/RPMS Various source RPMs are available at: ftp://scwm.mit.edu/pub/scwm/SRPMS and the scwm-icons distribution is available at: ftp://scwm.mit.edu/pub/scwm/RPMS/noarch See the NEWS file in the distribution for a complete list of all that has changed since the previous version of Scwm.
