We are currently in the process of update the code-base to use the wlroots scene-graph API

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.

0.5.0 (2022-02-18)

This release contains the following two breaking changes:

  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.

  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

As usual, this release contains a bunch of fixes and improvements, of which the most notable feature-type changes are listed below. A big thank you to @ARDiDo, @Consolatis and @jlindgren90 for much of the hard work.

  • Render overlay layer popups to support sfwbar (issue #239)

  • Support HiDPI on-screen-display images for outputs with different scales

  • Reload environment variables on SIGHUPi (issue #227)

  • Add client menu

  • Allow applications to start in fullscreen

  • Add config option <core><cycleViewPreview> to preview the contents of each view when cycling through them (for example using alt-tab).

  • Allow mouse movements to trigger SnapToEdge. When dragging a view, move the cursor outside an output to snap in that direction.

  • Unmaximize on Move

  • Support wlroots environment variable WLR_{WL,X11}_OUTPUTS for running in running nested in X11 or a wlroots compositor.

  • Support pointer gestures (pinch/swipe)

  • Adjust views to account for output layout changes
