labwc 0.8.1
The most noteworthy additions in this release are:
1. Titlebar window icons and layout configuration
2. Support for the cosmic-workspace protocol and the openbox inspired
client-list-combined-menu for a better user experience with workspaces.
Notes to package maintainers:
- The SSD titlebar window icon support requires [libsfdo] to be added as a
(build and run-time) dependency or statically linked. If this is not wanted,
add `-Dicon=disabled` to the `meson setup` command in the build script for the
next release.
- PRs [#1716] and [#2205] add labwc xdg-portal configuration, modify
`labwc.desktop` and amend `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP` which should enable better
out-of-the-box support for xdg-desktop-portal, but if you already ship a
custom setup for this or have different requirements, please review this
change.

Added
- Support dmabuf feedback [#2234] [#1278]
- Add initial implementation of cosmic-workspace-unstable-v1 [#2030]
- Optionally support SSD titlebar window icons. When an icon file is not found
or could not be loaded, the window menu icon is shown as before. The icon
theme can be selected with `<theme><icon>` [#2128]
- Add actions `ToggleSnapToEdge` and `ToggleSnapToRegion`. These behave like
`SnapToEdge` and `SnapToRegion`, except that they untile the window when
already being tiled to the given region or direction.
Written-by: @jp7677 and @tokyo4j [#2154]
- Add action `UnSnap`. This behaves like `ToggleSnapToEdge/Region` but
unconditionally. Written-by: @jp7677 and @tokyo4j [#2154]

Changed
- Theme options `padding.height` and `titlebar.height` have been removed to
minimize breaking changes with the visual appearance of the titlebar when
using openbox themes. As a result, and depending on your configuration,
the titlebar height may change by a small number of pixels [#2189]
- Move input config `<scrollFactor>` to `<libinput>` section to allow
per-device configuration of scroll factor (e.g. setting different scroll
factors for mice and touchpads). [#2057]
