Description:

Spectrwm (previously known as scrotwm) is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11. It tries to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more important stuff. It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a language to do any configuration. It was written by hackers for hackers and it strives to be small, compact and fast. It was largely inspired by xmonad and dwm. Both are fine products but suffer from things like: crazy-unportable-language-syndrome, silly defaults, asymmetrical window layout, "how hard can it be?" and good old NIH. Nevertheless dwm was a phenomenal resource and many good ideas and code was borrowed from it. On the other hand xmonad has great defaults, key bindings and xinerama support but is crippled by not being written in C. WWW: https://opensource.conformal.com/wiki/spectrwm

x11-wm/spectrwm: Update to 3.2.0

Adjust CFLAGS to more closely match upstream.

Changelog: https://github.com/conformal/spectrwm/releases/tag/SPECTRWM_3_2_0

Fix out of bounds memory read when reading bar input.

Add patch from upstream git that fixes an out of bounds read and possible
write if the bar action script returns a NULL as the first character.

It is unclear if this can cause any security issues, but I feel it's prudent
to fix the issue.

MFH:		2017Q4

Update to 3.1.0

Changelog:
    Add +R for region index to bar formatting.
    Add new bar_color_selected and bar_font_color_selected options.
    Add new 'ws_empty' action.
    Enable padding in the bar_format using '_' character
    Handle MappingNotify during startup.
    Reset SIGPIPE before execvp().
    Correct size for WM_STATE
    This release also fixes a bunch of bugs, linux build and man page nits.

FreeBSD specific changes:
    Thhe screenshot.sh script is now installed into the examples dir,
    instead of bin/.  If you are using it, you need to update your
    configuration file.
    I've reworked the examples handling and hid all examoles behind the
    EXAMPLES knob (on by default).  This is mostly some example
    configurations, but I also added the baraction.sh script which can be
    used to do fancier stuff with the status bar.

Fix USE_GITHUB usage.

NEW XORG ON FREEBSD 9-STABLE AND 10-STABLE

This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in
/etc/make.conf .
FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will
be available soon.

This patch also contains updates of libxcb and related ports, pixman, as well
