Code Freeze for v0.12 and Time to Test!

[Peter Jones]

Except for bug fixes, I'd like to call for a freeze on commits to the
xmonad and xmonad-contrib repositories until we get a release out.

At this point I think we have everything we need in place.  Let's take
advantage of the weekend and let as many people as possible test 0.12.
Then on Monday I'll open pull requests from my repos and we can tag and
release.

For reference, the following repositories have the latest changes plus
all of my documentation updates:

  https://github.com/pjones/xmonad/tree/release-0.12

  https://github.com/pjones/xmonad-contrib/tree/release-0.12

I also put together a stand-alone repository to help me test xmonad and
xmonad-contrib using GHC 7.10.2, 7.8.4, and 7.6.3.  (We should plan on
making another release in January to cover 7.10.3.)

My testing repository can be found at:

  https://github.com/pjones/xmonad-test/tree/release-0.12

So, please go forth and read the docs and compile the code!

Actually, ArchLinux is using GHC 7.10.3 now.

in January/February maybe another release to cover 8.0.1 :)

7.10.3 is mainly bugfix ==> +- same results of test as 7.10.2

If someone can explicitly state that all the xmonad + xmonad-contrib
tests pass under 7.10.3 then I'm happy to add it to the tested compilers
list in the cabal file.

I didn't run tests, but fwiw I'm using xmonad + xmonad-contrib built
with 7.10.3.

Sorry it took a little longer to get to this than I thought, I had a few unexpected things to deal with at the end of the semester.  But I think everything looks good now and I'm about to pull the trigger and upload to Hackage, unless anyone has any last minute questions/comments.

OK, well, I've tested everything and put v0.12 tags on both xmonad and xmonad-contrib.  However, it appears that only Adam Vogt has the power to upload these packages to Hackage.  Adam, could you add me and Peter as uploaders/maintainers for those packages on Hackage?  Thanks!

Is there anything else that needs to happen?  e.g. does the website need to be updated?

According to the TODO file this is what we have left:

  * generate, and push website haddocks with xmonad-web/gen-docs.sh

  * update #xmonad topic

  * email announce

Maybe the announcement should end with a list of contributors. We can
begin with the git repos, and for the next release it might make sense
to include tickets as well, but I'm not sure about that. You could run
something like this on all repos and embed a single sorted list:

git log v0.11.. --format="%aN" --reverse \
    | perl -e 'my %dedupe; while (<STDIN>) { print unless $dedupe{$_}++}'

We did list contributors in previous announces. Darcs cleaned up the list using an .authorspellings file (checked into the contrib repo), but I can't find an equivalent feature built-into git.

Accidentally omitted:

What's modern about it is that it uses

(1) the new config module
(2) built-in launcher prompt
(3) built-in prompt module for exit confirmation

It doesn't require dmenu and shows how to configure key bindings the
modern way.

Hi, all,
May I had a suggestion : add as a comment what is needed to use xmonad
with AZERTY keyboards, where defaults for 1234567890 are &é"'(-è_çà .
Ideally, one should have only to uncomment a few line to get xmonad to
work whith those keyboards.

Best regards,

Alain

Interesting, I didn't know about ConfirmPrompt! So many contrib modules.

FYI, you don't need to use removeKeysP to update existing key bindings, as it's backed by a Data.Map - just the additionalKeysP will do.

Also, insert shameless plug for the even more modern X.C.Prime module - I think it makes configs look nicer, personally.

The first result for https://www.google.com/search?q=xmonad+azerty looks good. Does that work?
