qtile x.x.x, released xxxx-xx-xx:
!!! Config breakage !!!
- Many internal things were renamed from camel case to snake case. If
your config uses main(), or any lazy.function() invocations that
interact directly with the qtile object, you may need to forward port
them. Also note that we do *not* consider the qtile object to be a
stable api, so you will need to continue forward porting these things
for future refactorings (for wayland, etc.). A better approach may be
to add an upstream API for what you want to do ;)

sub_folder.

This is primarily a unicode bugfix release for 0.9.0; there were several

distro maintainers to package Qtile.

- fix unicode handling in several places
qtile 0.9.0, released 2015-01-20:
* !!! Dependency Changes !!!
New dependencies will need to be installed for qtile to work
- drop xpyb for xcffib (XCB bindings)

internally)

dbus (e.g. the mpris widgets or the libnotify widget)

- new layout for vertical monitors

user configs.

the event loop.

qtile 0.6, released 2013-05-11:
!!! Config breakage !!!
This release breaks your config file in several ways:
- The Textbox widget no longer takes a ``name'' positional parameter,
since it was redundant; you can use the ``name'' kwarg to define it.
- manager.Group (now _Group) is not used to configure groups any more;
config.Group replaces it. For simple configurations (i.e.
Group("a") type configs), this should be a drop in replacement.
config.Group also provides many more options for showing and hiding
groups, assigning windows to groups by default, etc.
- The Key, Screen, Drag, and Click objects have moved from the manager
module to the config module.
- The Match object has moved from the dgroups module to the config
module.
- The addgroup hook now takes two parameters: the qtile object and the
name of the group added:
@hook.subscribe
def addgroup_hook(qtile, name):
pass
- The nextgroup and prevgroup commands are now on Screen instead of
Group.
For most people, you should be able to just:
sed -i -e 's/libqtile.manager/libqtile.config' config.py
...dgroups users will need to go to a bit more work, but hopefully
configuration will be much simpler now for new users.
* features
- New widgets: task list,
- New layout: Matrix
- Added ability to drag and drop groups on GroupBox
- added "next urgent window" command
- added font shadowing on widgets
- maildir widget supports multiple folders
- new config option log_level to set logging level (any of
logging.{DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL})
- add option to battery widget to hide while level is above a certain
amount
- vastly simplify configuration of dynamic groups
- MPD widget now supports lots of metadata options
* bugfixes
- don't crash on restart when the config has errors
- save layout and selected group state on restart
- varous EWMH properties implemented correctly
- fix non-black systray icon backgrounds
- drastically reduce the number of timeout_add calls in most widgets
- restart on RandR attach events to allow for new screens
- log level defaults to ERROR
- default config options are no longer initialized when users define
their corresponding option (preventing duplicate widgets, etc.)
- don't try to load config in qsh (not used)
- fix font alignment across Textbox based widgets
qtile 0.5, released 2012-11-11:

- Promote dgroups to a first class entity in libqtile

fallback=layout.Slice('right', 256, role='gimp-dock',
fallback=layout.Stack(stacks=1, **border_args)))
]
