window manager improved 2
wmii is the next generation of wmi. It is a highly customizable keyboard-and-mouse-driven X11 window manager that supports conventional, tabbed, and tiled window management with low memory usage and vi-like user interaction. Due to a complete rewrite, it is highly modularized and uses a new configuration and inter-process communication interface, which is oriented on the 9p protocol of the Plan9 operating system.

Changes: The new window management consists of a column layout. The classic workspace (page) paradigm of previous versions or other window managers has been replaced with a new tagging approach. The new virtual filesystem can be accessed using a 9P-compliant client. The dependency on Plan 9 (9base) tools has been dropped. The separation of wmiibar, wmiikeys, and the wmiifs file-service multiplexer into separate processes in earlier versions has been removed, which increased the overall performance drastically and reduced a lot of code overhead.

Changes: A crash when sending too many M-C-c's in a short period of time has been fixed. An issue where the focus would stay on the previous page when creating or selecting an empty page has been fixed. Clear Bar when selecting no page or client.
