## [unreleased]
The main focus in this release has been to port labwc to wlroots 0.18 and to
grind out associated regressions. Nonetheless, it contains a few non-related
additions and fixes as described below.
As a one-off note, there appears to be an issue with increased commit failures
when using wlroots-0.18, particularly with intel drivers. If this turns out to
be an issue for anyone please try running with `WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC=1` or run the
labwc v0.7 branch or its latest release until this is resolved.
A v0.7 branch has been created for bug fixes beyond `0.7.3` (built with wlroots
`0.17`).
A big thank you goes to @Consolatis for carefully crafting the commits to port
across to wlroots 0.18.0. Many thanks also to the other core devs @ahesford,
@jlindgren90, @johanmalm and @tokyo4j for reviewing, merging as well as
contributing many patches with fixes and new features. And in this release we
have some great contributions from @jp7677, @kode54, @xi and @heroin-moose which
have been attributed with a 'Written-by' against each relevant log entry.
