+tree is unmaintained, with lots of open pull requests and issues. I forked it
+and merged what I thought were the most important changes. If you are searching
+for that version, see the [`legacy` branch](https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/tree/legacy).
+Note that the Python version is better suited for non-standard configurations,
+like if you use `--transform` or `--reflect`. If you use `auto-disper`, you
+have to use the bash version, as there is no disper support in the Python
+version (yet). Both versions use a compatible configuration file format, so
+you can, to some extent, switch between them.  I will maintain the `legacy`
+branch until @wertarbyte finds the time to maintain his branch again.

+If you are interested in why there are two versions around, see
+[#7](https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/issues/7),
+[#8](https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/issues/8) and
+especially
+[#12](https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/issues/12)
+if you are unhappy with this version and would like to contibute to the bash
+version.

-## autorandr vs. autorandr.py

-The two files `autorandr` and `autorandr.py` are two independent versions of
-autorandr. For now, both are here, but I might move one of both versions into
-its own branch or repository someday. See [bug #7](https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/issues/7)
-for details on why there are two versions around.
-
-The two versions are compatible with respect to the profile format and command
-line parameters, but
-
-* the *Python version* does not support auto-disper
-* the *bash version* does not support changes in available adapters and slightly esoteric configurations (like transformations and reflections)
-
-Active development in this repository is likely to occur preferably in the
-Python version.

-* Copy pm-utils/40auto-disper into /etc/pm/sleep.d/

-  set up the screen nicely on the laptop display.
-  Then run `auto-disper --save laptop`
