The major new feature of this release is Peter Harris' rewrite to
use libxcb instead of libX11, for much less latency in gathering
the client information from the X server. In Peter's words:
This version spends bandwidth to reduce latency; in particular, it
aggressively calls query_tree before the answer to get_property(WM_STATE)
is available.
Even on my local box, this version is 4-10 times faster (30ms typical, vs
200ms typical for Xlib). I get similar results over the local network.
At least one person reports this version takes less than 2 seconds over
ssh, vs over a minute for the Xlib version (~30x faster).
This release thus no longer requires libX11 to build, but instead
requires XCB and the libxcb-atom library from the xcb-util package.
Should anyone need to maintain the libX11 version, a 1.0.x branch can be
created in git from the 1.0.2 release base as needed.
