So you want to compete with or replace open source
We are living through an interesting moment in source-available software.1 The open source movement has always had, and continues to have, a solid grounding in grassroots programmers building tools for themselves and forming communities around them. Some looming giants brought on large sums of money – Linux, Mozilla, Apache, and so on – and other giants made do without, like GNU, but for the most part if anyone thought about open source 15 years ago they were mostly thinking about grassroots communities who built software together for fun.

Below are some highlights of the changes for the recent releases of dmenu, dwm, st and tabbed, see the git logs for all details:
General small Makefile improvements, rationale being: just be verbose and show what is done: do not abstract/hide details from the user/developer. Respect (more) the package manager and build system flags (CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc).
dwm:
Improvements to signal handling. Fix: Avoid missing events when a keysym maps to multiple keycodes.dmenu:
Reduce memory usage for reading the lines. Fix: X11 BadMatch error when embedding on some windows.st:
