- 2003-08-19: New design! Falling back to the nice and simplistic look
the rest of my pages have. Although I quite liked the techy quality of
the old look, it was a bit cluttered.

- 2003-06-01: Hello, slashdot reading people, I hope you like what you see!
- 2003-03-02: Simon Lyngshede has kindly uploaded an
i386 Slackware package. 2006-02-16: dead link.
- 2003-01-15: Released 0.99.14. Incorporates multihead support.
- 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!
- 2002-11-12: Released 0.99.11. This fixes some long-standing bugs well enough that I'm prepared to call this 'RC1'!
