Topic: OPENBOX dropped?

i'm wondering since months now if the developing of my favourite wm has dropped because of the lack of updates from too much time and the lack of news in the official website too..
has anyone any info about it?!?
i've thinked also that the answer could be that ob is already perfect.. smile  but.. but.. it has some little fixes to manage...
bye

Re: OPENBOX dropped?

Humm -

It doesn't look like Openbox is what one would call a 'vibrant' project, but it also looks far from dead. 

Bugs are being opened and closed with some regularity.
The mailing list had 84 messages in March and has had 19 in April.
The irc channel is totally empty right now.

Re: OPENBOX dropped?

There is development going on with openbox, I believe there is a new release around the corner wink

the latest rc is here:

http://icculus.org/openbox/releases/ope … rc1.tar.gz

If you have any patches or bugs , y'know feel free to add them to bugzilla smile

Also the irc channel is on irc.oftc.net and it generally pretty full...

dropped ? -I hope not, its not bloated eye-candy but neither is CrunchBang!!!

( I forget the rest) , but I think of crunchy.

Re: OPENBOX dropped?

For me, if it ain't broke don't fix it!
It does everything I need and I don't have serious bugs to fix.
No, No gripes about no active development or such like
I guess I'm a happy camper:D
