[We are currently in the process of update the code-base to use the wlroots
|
||||
scene-graph API](https://github.com/johanmalm/labwc/tree/scene)
|
||||
The format is based on [Keep a Changelog]
|
||||
|
||||
Tag 0.5.0 is the last minor release before the move to scene-graph. An
|
||||
associated v0.5 branch exists for patches and patch-tags if needed. It's
|
||||
not envisaged that new features will be added on that branch though.
|
||||
We are currently in the process of updating the code-base to use the
|
||||
wlroots scene-graph API and have decided to use three branches at this
|
||||
time:
|
||||
|
||||
## 0.5.0 (2022-02-18)
|
||||
- `v0.5` - the last minor release before the move to scene-graph. It is
|
||||
not envisaged that new major features will be added on that branch.
|
||||
|
||||
This release contains the following two breaking changes:
|
||||
- `scene-graph` - where the active porting is taking place until it is
|
||||
merged into master at which point the scene-graph branch will be
|
||||
removed.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Disabling outputs now causes views to be re-arranged, so in the
|
||||
context of idle system power management (for example when using
|
||||
swaylock), it is no longer suitable to call wlr-randr {--off,--on}
|
||||
to enable/disable outputs.
|
||||
- `master` - which is mostly frozen to make the rebase/merge a bit
|
||||
easier.
|
||||
|
||||
2. The "Drag" mouse-event and the unmaximize-on-move feature require
|
||||
slightly different `<mousebind>` settings to feel natural, so suggest
|
||||
updating any local `rc.xml` settings in accordance with
|
||||
`docs/rc.xml.all`

||||
|
||||
