[dev] dwm-5.7.1

Hi there,

I released a bugfix release that fixes the layout symbol updating
mechanism during setlayout (though in a different way as suggested by
Nibble) and that contains some improvements for the overall drawbar()
and arrange() handling which performed unnecessary execution on
unchanged monitors. It can be downloaded from:

  http://dl.suckless.org/dwm/dwm-5.7.1.tar.gz

Please report any issues.

Kind regards,
Anselm

> This release contains various code cleanups and several minor

> The biggest changes are that the layout symbol can be modified by the
> arrange function of a layout (see monocle() for an example) and that
> the updategeom() algorithm has been rewritten from scratch. Now
> geometry changes do not result in a complete destruction of the
> Monitor struct and broken applications like wine that configure the
> root window do not result in recreating the Monitor struct altogether.
>
> Several patches have been updated to dwm-5.7 already.
>
> Once again many thanks to all contributors!
>
> Please report any issues.
