Hi,

I just released dvtm-0.10, the dwm counterpart for your ssh and framebuffer
console sessions

 http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/dvtm/dvtm-0.10.tar.gz

with sha1sum

 00e3d6cb746f8eace07e6784452d53781e76db13 dvtm-0.10.tar.gz

This is mostly a bugfix release with

 * improved redraw logic to reduce cursor flickering

 * better non blocking input handling

 * a couple of fixes to dvtm.info terminfo description (kbs, rs1)

 * various other fixes (fd leakage, misuse of strncpy, handling of I/O errors)

as there were changes to dvtm.info make sure to install the new version.

Furthermore I've rebased the tagging branch, which provides the same tagging
facilities that we know and love from dwm, on top of master:

 http://repo.or.cz/w/dvtm.git/shortlog/refs/heads/tagging

It is however only lightly tested and the key mappings could probably be
improved, to quote from config.def.h:

...
#define MOD CTRL('g')
#define MOD2 CTRL('t')
#define MOD3 CTRL('v')
#define MOD4 CTRL('r')
...
static Key keys[] = {
...
        { MOD, KEY_F(1), { view, { tags[0] } } },
        { MOD2, KEY_F(1), { tag, { tags[0] } } },
        { MOD3, KEY_F(1), { toggleview, { tags[0] } } },
        { MOD4, KEY_F(1), { toggletag, { tags[0] } } },
...
};
...

Any comments on whether tagging is useful in the context of dvtm,
how the key bindings could be improved, bug reports and patches are
appreciated.

Cheers,
Marc
