Window Maker 0.90.0 Released

After years without a release, we are glad to announce that Window Maker 0.90.0 is out!

The ChangeLog is huge, but highlights are:

* NetWM support (thanks to Peter). This means wmaker should work fine with GNOME 2.x and KDE 3.x
* UTF-8 support
* antialiased text support via Xft2
* Xinerama support
* enhanced Alt-Tab window switching
* Font configuration in WPrefs
* many fixes

Window Maker is an X11 window manager originally designed to provide integration support for the GNUstep Desktop Environment. In every way possible, it reproduces the elegant look and feel of the NEXTSTEP[tm] user interface. It is fast, feature rich, easy to configure, and easy to use. It is also free software, with contributions being made by programmers from around the world.

Window Maker includes compatibility options which allow it to work with other popular desktop environments, namely GNOME and KDE, and comes with a powerful GUI configuration editor, called WPrefs, which removes the need to edit text-based config files by hand. Please see the features section for more specifics on what Window Maker can do, and how it compares with other popular window managers.
