### **speedwm 1.5**

New release of speedwm! This one focused on making speedwm a lot more compatible with dwm. It is pretty much guaranteed to break your configs, sorry about that. It also makes speedwm **much, much** faster.

### Changelog
- Remove stellar, and replace with a fork of dwmblocks (with async patch and other changes). This is MUCH faster, and still allows partial configuration in shell, despite being written in C because the modules are still identical, shell based. It is installed alongside speedwm, but can be disabled. See the man page for help with that.
- Page is now using the [new template](https://speedie.gq).
- Add keybind for increasing/decreasing gaps and bar padding at the same time.
- Fix weather, net, and temp modules displaying information that should not be displayed.
- Settings are now identical in xresources.h and example.Xresources
- speedwm_run is no longer here, speedwm is now started by simply running 'speedwm'.
- speedwmrc is no longer used, add `xrdb $HOME/.config/.Xresources` to ~/.config/speedwm/autostart.sh and copy or append the contents of docs/example.Xresources to ~/.config/.Xresources to change an option.
- Tag preview is now updated in the arrange() function. This means actions like spawning a window or closing a window will immediately take a preview. There is a performance hit but it doesn't seem to be noticeable. See [this commit](https://codeberg.org/speedie/speedwm/commit/d0bafdfb875ce619bad53c1de7c09135faf5ef3c).
- Remove old CSS from docs/
- Clean up pango support.
- Clean up clickable status support.
- Rewrite all modules, they now consume less resources and are overall slightly better codebase wise.
- Add a man page for speedwm. This replaces speedwm-help -a.
- speedwm-help is now exclusively used to *write* documentation.
- Switch default RSS reader to 'rssread' (See https://codeberg.org/speedie/scripts)
- Switch default email client to 'neomutt' (Recently started using mutt-wizard)
- Switch default file manager to 'lf' (Recently started using lf)
- Fix grep in music module which might grep the wrong line.
- Various other bugfixes (see commit history)

### Installation
Nothing has changed with the installation since last release, simply download and unpack the tarball, and `make clean install` as root.

- If you are on Gentoo, you can install both x11-wm/speedwm, x11-wm/libspeedwm and x11-wm/speedwm-extras by adding my overlay.
- I plan on writing an Arch AUR package eventually, but please feel free to do my job ;)
