Thanks to John Soros. See [github #73]. + - `DiskU`, the disk usage monitor, works again correctly on Linux, + instead of randomly crashing every now and then, and reporting + wrong used size. + - When using antialiased fonts, we were causing a memory leak in the + X server by repeatedly allocating colors that, apparently, the + server doesn't know how to get rid of (even when told so!). We're + caching them now and X server memory doesn't grow. + - Compilation errors and warnings with GHC 7.6 removed (thanks to + Raghavendra D Prabhu for his reports in [github #71]). + +_Known problems_ + +Some users have reported problems with xmobar compiled with GHC 7.6 in +ArchLinux: see [github #78] and pointers therein.
