“FVWM 2.2, the first official version of FVWM 2, is now
available for download!”

“FVWM version 2 has been available in various stages of beta for
years; now it has finally been officially released. Get your copy
today!”

“FVWM is an ICCCM-compliant multiple virtual desktop window
manager for X11 created by Robert Nation, derived originally from
twm code. Thanks, Rob!”

“Rob then passed the torch on to Charles Hines, who passed the
torch to Brady Montz, who passed the torch to the fvwm-workers
list. Jason Tibbitts continues to provide infrastructure in the
form of mailing lists, a web site, an FTP site, a CVS tree, and
anonymous rsync.”
