Proposal for Freeze Exception!'

Awesome 3.x packs many new features -and- is the current supported version. We are currently offered a version that is so old it may be trouble for even googlers to get help with it! The biggest reason is it may be hurtful to keep the old one in there, as being on the older version means documentation online is hopelessly incompatible.

The new features included in 3.x include more hooks (ways to configure) and support for extensions like Wicked (widgets), Beautiful (theming) functionality. It is more stable and popular than the 2.x series.

I believe that Jaunty should stay on the latest *stable* feature release, which is 3.2.

http://packages.debian.org/uk/sid/awesome In Debian Unstable, http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/awesome/awesome_3.2-1.dsc compiles and builds correctly. Furthermore, the ubuntu libraries in jaunty support this release.

I would appreciate seeing the Debian Sid package sync'd into the Universe. :D
