* Removed the AUTHORS section as recommended by man-pages(7), the conventions for writing Linux man pages. * Change the secion name to the more commonly used "User Commands". * Don't say "this man page might be out dated". * Always use the current version number of compton as "man version" in the man pages. Also bumped the project version in meson.build Signed-off-by: Yuxuan Shui <yshuiv7@gmail.com> |

Compton
This is a development branch, bug to be expected
This is forked from the original Compton because that seems to have become unmaintained. I'll merge pull requests as they appear upstream, as well as trying to fix bugs reported to upstream, or found by myself.
The original README can be found here
