Xmonad/Notable changes since 0.6

This page is for keeping a record of significant changes in darcs xmonad and xmonad-contrib since the 0.6 release. The idea is to put here a list of things which a user upgrading from 0.6 to 0.7 might like to know, so that they are sure to be included in the 0.7 release notes.

Changes to the xmonad core

• Added a startupHook field to the xmonad configuration record, which is an arbitrary X () action to be run each time xmonad starts (including restarts with mod-q).

Changes in xmonad-contrib

• XMonad.Actions.RotView no longer exists; XMonad.Actions.CycleWS now subsumes the former functionality of RotView plus some additional functionality as well. See the documentation for CycleWS for information on switching from RotView.
