Current issue is with gsettings-data-convert causing jwm 2.3.7 to crash if right-click on first open window & select move upon startup or restart. Is not present in jwm 2.3.6 or earlier. jwm 2.3.5 - 2.3.6 have different issue of scrollwheel changing desktops - unfixable.
NOTE: Joe Wing (jwm creator) has not made a github entry for jwm since Jan 1 2019 (ver 2.4.0).

Compiled JWM s-1685
This is listed as what looks like the latest "Release" on the Github page even though it is a snapshot really, 8 commits to Master since it, so you could use a checkout of that I suppose.
Anyway, it reports as Version 2.4.0 once compiled and running.
Tested briefly in my Stretch and Wheezy remasters.
The "Move" crash issue appears to be fixed.

The version of fribidi is suspect, and if its 64-bit capable.
Old JWM uses it and no problems... newer veersions of JWM probably use a newer version of fribidi. Slacko5.7 shows libfribidi.so.0.3.1 dated 3/2014

I asked 666philb what he had done for fossapup64-9.0.2 (which does not have move segfault) and he replied:

one thing to note is that there are new mouse actions that need adding jwmrc, I added them to /root/.jwm/jwmpersonal . these actions control window shading etc. see it's /etc/system-jwmrc once compiled.

New puppies will have jwm 2.4.0 which fixes a crash issue in 2.3.7. In response to the jwm 2.3.7 crash, I made a 64bit jwm 2.3.4 .pet for recent puppies. Tested OK in ScPup64 & bionicpup64, but use at own risk. If you installed my earlier jwm 2.3.7 .pet, uninstall it first.
Cannot undo this 2.3.4 update by uninstalling, so backup savefile/folder first. Need to restart X once installed.
This .pet changes /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc (See near start & near end - scrollwheel fixes - disables desktop switching & shading).
Taskbar width command became available in this version.
One newer feature (minor) it doesn't have - clicking on a main menu item with a submenu closes the main menu, but usually one would simply hover over main menu item & slide across. There may be other issues, but I haven't had problems over several days testing.
