Re: icewm releases

Hello,

I'm using icewm since last few years. I love its lowfat, modular, simplistic
properties. Though I have gained some interest recently on openbox+tint2 combination.
I haven't seen any progress on icewm, that's why interested to know if the
development is still alive.

Thanks
