Hi,

I was googling for "fvwm stable" and noticed that many people recommended 2.5 version, which is listed as "unstable" on the fvwm website.

Is this still a good version to use?

I also read about a 2.6 release. Where do I find this one? I dont think I saw it on the fvwm website.

I just want to make sure I am all up to date before reading through this config!

Thanks all for your help,

Jason

The 2.5 branch is unstable in the sense that new features could change
in an incompatible way.

It's fine to use.

Yes.

2.6 is a future release, often discussed.

I've been talking about it for years, yes. ;)

It's not there yet -- we're working on it.
