[Haskell-cafe] [ANNOUNCEMENT] xmobar 0.14

[Jose A. Ortega Ruiz]

I'm happy to announce the release of xmobar 0.14.

Xmobar is a text-based, minimalistic status bar for linuxy systems,
written in Haskell.  See http://projects.haskell.org/xmobar for
details.

Many, many thanks to the many, many contributors, and apologies for
taking so long to put their code and fixes under a new release.

In this episode:

_New features_

  - New brightness monitor, courtesy of Martin Perner.
  - New DateZone plugin, for configurable timezone and localized
    datetimes, also by Martin.
  - New keyboard layout monitor (Kbd).  Yes, by Martin.
  - Rewrite of the event handling ([issue 53], [issue 57]), you
    guessed it.
  - Cpu monitor now also reports `iowait` field ([issue 55]).
  - Battery monitor: the full charge file is now settable in the
    monitor arguments (olpc systems use `charge_full_design`; see
    [issue 62]).
