### Changelog:
2021-04-30 - Added togglelayout patch
2021-04-16 - Vanitygaps: replaced smartgaps with smartgaps\_fact, allowing gaps to be disabled or increased when there is only one client.
2021-04-14 - Upgraded the dwmblocks patch for statuscmd which changes the signalling mechanism from SIGUSR1 to SIGRTMIN which is likely to cause issues for those that already have a working setup. A compatibility option has been added which changes this back to SIGUSR1. Note that configuration was also changed.
