## Notes on wlroots-0.19
The main focus has been to port labwc to wlroots 0.19 [#2388] and fix associated
issues. Special thanks to @Consolatis @jlindgren90 for this.

There are some regression warnings worth noting for the switch to wlroots 0.19:
- The DRM backend now destroys/recreates outputs on VT switch and in some cases
on suspend/resume too. The reason for this change was that (i) the KMS state
is undefined when a VT is switched away; and (ii) the previous outputs had
issues with restoration, particularly when the output configuration had
changed whilst switched away. This change causes two issues for users:
- Some layer-shell clients do not re-appear on output re-connection, or may
appear on a different output. Whilst this has always been the case, it will
now also happen in said situations. We recommend layer-shell clients to
handle the new-output and surface-destroy signals to achieve desired
behaviours.
- Some Gtk clients issue critical warnings as they assume that at least one
output is always available. This will be fixed in `Gtk-3.24.50`. It is
believed to be a harmless warning, but it can be avoided by running labwc
with the environment variable `LABWC_FALLBACK_OUTPUT=NOOP-fallback` to
temporarily create a fallback-output when the last physical display
disconnects. [#2914] [#2939] [wlroots-4878] [gtk-8792]
- Due to a single-pixel protocol issue, `waylock` and `chayang` do not work.
This will be fixed in `wlroots-0.19.1`. [#2943] [wlroots-5098]
- Menu item can no longer be activated in any Gtk applications with a single
press-drag-release mouse action. For context: This is due to ambiguity in the
specifications and contrary implementations. For example, Gtk applications are

## [unreleased]
## [0.9.1]
This is an earlier-than-usual release containinig bug fixes only. It has been
done on a separate branch to avoid the inclusion of refactoring and new
features.
