[xmonad] ANNOUNCE: xmonad 0.8 released!

[Pär Andersson]

Hi,

I am another Ubuntu user who would love to see xmonad 0.8 in Ubuntu 8.10. I 
don't believe it would be very hard make this happen, but I unfortunately 
don't have time to do the necessary work. Hopefully somebody else on this 
list have more time :)

What is worse is that Intrepid is past FeatureFreeze. However xmonad is in 
universe, is updated in Debian, have good new features, no huge reverse 
dependencies, so I would guess it could get an execption.

The process to follow is here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#FeatureFreeze for new upstream 
versions

It it is probable a good idea to do it as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Pär Andersson
