No idea. The last update was 2015, but a three year gap is a pretty normal release cadence for it:

I’ve never had a corrupted xauthority. I’d guess there’s a bug in some component other than X. (Does X11 even create the .Xauthority? Isn’t that the display manager (like xdm)’s job?)

Have you tried i3wm? I switched to it permanently a few years ago and never looked back. Here [0] is my config. Sway [1], a port of i3wm to Wayland, is kind of stable as well.

I have been using awesome, but I often see people recommending i3. Any advantages of i3 over awesome?
