After 6 months of development and more than 1000 change sets, the final version of awesome 3.0 has been released. 'awesome' is a frame-work window manager, which also supports tiling window management. This major release brings a lot of new features. The whole configuration file is now write in the Lua language and use a simple API. This allows to modify and control every corner of the window manager. This version is based on XCB, a new low level library which communicate with the X server. Pango usage also enhances text rendering.

I use awesome for some month now, and it is really the best windows manager when you have 2 screen. It handle them almost by itself and windows never appear on both screen at the same if you dont move them manually that way. It also look really good, is fast, customizable and look nice!
