If you don't like the changes in 6.1, you don't have to install it. Why
upgrade if dwm 6.0 behaves exactly the way you want? It's not like dwm
adds a zillion new features with an upgrade; you have to add those
yourself by patching.

This is all you get for a changelog:
http://git.suckless.org/dwm/log/
If you want more detail, you can learn a bit of C and look at the commit
diffs.
There is no end-user support here. Most of us don't want to spend our
free time on it, and we don't want "help vampires" to feel welcome.
Also, most of us don't really care whether or not you use dwm at all -
you didn't pay for it.
