• 2003-06-01: Hello, slashdot reading people, I hope you like what you see!

• 2003-01-07: HNY! Just noticed quit.net has a review of evilwm. Many thanks for that - and both the mentioned bugs have been fixed since the review was written. 2006-02-16: quit.net seems to have quit.
• 2002-11-27: Current CVS has got full multihead support (no more starting up separate processes). What minimal testing I've been able to do has shown it to work without crashing, but it would be great to have feedback from people that actually use multihead in anger. So if you're one of these people, please give it a try!
