wmiirc-lua v0.2.1 remembers a bit more

bartman

[wmiirc-lua]{tags/wmiirc-lua} is a replacement for sh-based wmiirc that ships with the wmii window manager.

In version 0.2.1 wmii will remember the last few programs that have been ran and the last few actions taken. It will put those entries at the beginning of the completion list. Frequent items can thus be selected with arrow keys and pushing enter.

In this release selecting works spaces with Mod4-[a-z] will not select the first view that starts with that letter, but rather the most recently used view that starts with the letter.

There have also been a few bug fixes, notably the core will now look in ~/.wmii-3.5 for plugins and core libraries before looking in system directories. That will solve the problem of someone using make install-user while having an older .deb installed.

To build you can then run:

    sudo apt-get install lua5.1 liblua5.1-0-dev liblua5.1-posix0 git-core
    
    git clone git://repo.or.cz/wmiirc-lua.git/
    
    cd wmiirc-lua
    make install-user
