I have spent a lot of time moving howm away from requiring a recompile after a configuration change. This release is the result of that. No longer does howm need a compiler and build system - two lightweight programs are required instead: cottage and sxhkd.

I've updated the docs to highlight these new changes - that includes the developer docs.

The main features of this release include:

  • Configuration through cottage
  • sxhkd now handles the keybinds
  • All of howm's commands can be run using cottage
  • Howm has been split into multiple files - making development far easier
  • Improved IPC error reporting

Bug fixes include:

  • Fixed a segfault relating to IPC and operators.
  • Fixed a problem with visual artifacting when a new window is spawned.
  • Style fixes

I have written a blog post detailing the new changes and my motivation behind them.
