WindowMaker is not unmaintained, for what it's worth.



I'd say not wholly unmaintained. It hasn't seen any commits since 2017.


The stable branch hasn't seen any commits since 2017. The last head of the -next branch is from last summer, I think, and the last time I've seen a patch on the mailing list was about three weeks ago.


I'm certain it is still maintained because i occasionally see patches coming in in the development list and in 2018 i submitted a bugfix for icon persistence and a new feature to force client side decorations on windows: https://i.imgur.com/xcVSNaN.jpg

Though i don't know why exactly there hasn't been a new release. The current maintainer is active (he does the merges) and there have been a bunch of features and fixes, so i'm not sure what is going on.

Has it needed any since then? That's the real question.


Do you have outstanding issues/bugs/feature requests? I remember using it, like, 15 years ago and it was largely feature-complete and mostly bug free.
