chunkwm is no longer in development because of a C99 re-write, yabai.

This was originally supposed to be the first RC version of chunkwm. However, due to major architectural changes, supported systems, and changes to functionality, it has been released separately. There are multiple reasons behind these changes, based on the experience gained while experimenting with, designing, and using both kwm and chunkwm. Some of these changes are performance related, while others have been made with the user experience, operating system integration, error reporting, and customisability in mind.
