\begin{hcarentry}[updated]{xmonad}
\label{xmonad}
\report{Gwern Branwen}%11/11
\status{active development}
\makeheader
XMonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are arranged
automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximizing
screen use. Window manager features are accessible from the keyboard; a
mouse is optional. XMonad is written, configured, and extensible in
Haskell. Custom layout algorithms, key bindings, and other extensions may
be written by the user in config files. Layouts are applied
dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each workspace.
Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled on several
physical screens.
Development since the last report has continued; XMonad founder Don Stewart
has stepped down and Adam Vogt is the new maintainer.
After gestating for 2 years, version 0.10 has been released, with simultaneous
releases of the XMonadContrib library of customizations (which has now grown to
no less than 216 modules encompassing a dizzying array of features) and the
xmonad-extras package of extensions,
Details of changes between releases can be found in the release notes:

\item the Darcs repositories have been upgraded to the hashed format
\item Supports using local modules in xmonad.hs; for example: to use definitions from \~/.xmonad/lib/XMonad/Stack/MyAdditions.hs
\item xmonad --restart CLI option

\item XMonad.Prompt now has customizable keymaps
\item Actions.GridSelect - a GUI menu for selecting windows or workspaces \& substring search on window names
\item Actions.OnScreen
\item Extensions now can have state
\item Actions.SpawnOn - uses state to spawn applications on the workspace the user was originally on,
