wmiirc-lua v0.2.5 release

A kind [wmiirc-lua]{tag/wmiirc-lua} user, Sytse Wielinga (sytse on irc), had debugged an old issue in luaixp code I had written for wmiirc-lua.

While this bug directly addresses raw mode (Mod4-space), I belive that this will fix a bunch of weird issues so I released v0.2.5. Since v0.2.4 there was also a small bug in the battery plugin that was fixed.

What is it?

Wmiirc-lua is an event loop manager for the wmii tiling window manager. As the name suggests it’s written in Lua, and strives to have a low system overhead.

How to get it?

The easiest way to get wmiirc-lua and its dependencies is to grab the [kitchen sink]{wmiirc-lua-kitchen-sink} repository.

If you prefer to get the bits yourself, here is the list of repositories you will need to build:

• libixp: git://git.jukie.net/libixp.git/
• wmii: git://git.jukie.net/wmii.git/
• wmiirc-lua: git://git.jukie.net/wmiirc-lua.git/
• dmenu: git://git.jukie.net/dmenu.git/
• slock: git://git.jukie.net/slock.git/

Changes since v0.2.4

• fix bug in ixp.read() code and ixp.iread() (Sytse Wielinga)
• fixed a resource leak in battery plugin (Bart Trojanowski)

Also the [kitchen sink]{wmiirc-lua-kitchen-sink} repository and submodules have been updated to the most recent wmii and libixp with some fixes of their own.
