Only a year or two later than vaguely planned, let's test out a
release beta. With a little luck, we can promote it by New Years...
https://www.ctwm.org/tmp/ctwm-4.1.0-beta.20221214.tar.xz
SHA256 (ctwm-4.1.0-beta.20221214.tar.xz) =

If you've been following along with the dev branches, there won't be
many surprises. But a snapshot is a nice fixed point to test out,
the pre-built tarballs can be a bit easier to build from than raw
checkouts, and hey, it's a good "plz test" callout point!
What's changed since the last release?
- There's the XRANDR support and the smarter multi-monitor handling.
This lets you full-screen things on a single monitor instead of
across them, specify geometries for things relative to a given
monitor, etc.
- VirtualScreens, WindowBox, and captive mode have been disabled
(reversibly, with the expectation that future releases will
dereversibilify them). These were all of questionable utility and
didn't work very well at what they tried to do, the most
seemingly useful is obsoleted by the above, and all them them had
mildly terrifying side effects deep down in bits of the code that
we can now hopefully start unwinding.
- The usual handful of minor bugfixes and improvements.
- 100% passing of our test suite. What do you mean, how much does
it actually test? Look, it's fine, you don't need to worry about
that...
As usual, see the CHANGES file for more details.
