  • 0.7.0
    labwc 0.7.0
    
    The main effort in this release has gone into porting labwc to wlroots 0.17
    and tidying up regressions. Nonetheless, it contains a significant number of
    additions and fixes as described below.
    
    Should bug fixes be required against `0.6.6` (built with wlroots `0.16`), a
    `0.6` branch will be created.
    
    Added
    
    - Support titlebar hover icons. Written-by: @spl237
    - Add theme options osd.workspace-switcher.boxes.{width,height}
      Written-by: @kyak
    - Add actions `VirtualOutputAdd` and `VirtualOutputRemove` to control virtual
      outputs. Written-by: @kyak (#1287)
    - Teach MoveToEdge to move windows to adjacent outputs.
      Written-by: @ahesford
    - Implement `<font place="InactiveWindow">`. Written-by: @ludg1e (#1292)
    - Implement cursor-shape-v1 protocol to allow Wayland clients to request a
      buffer for a cursor shape from a compositor. Written-by: @heroin-moose
    - Implement fractional-scale-v1 protocol to allow Wayland clients to properly
      scale on outputs with fractional scale factor. Written-by: @heroin-moose
    - Add ResizeTo action (#1261)
    - Allow going backwards in window-switcher OSD by using arrow-up or arrow-left.
      Written-by: @jp7677
    - Add `ToggleOmnipresent` action and add an "Always on Visible Workspace" entry
      for it in the client-menu under the Workspaces submenu. Written-by: @bnason
    - Account for space taken up by XWayland clients with `_NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL`
      property in the `usable_area` calculation. This increases inter-operability
      with X11 desktop componenets.
    - Set XWayland's `_NET_WORKAREA` property based on usable area. XWayland
      clients use the `_NET_WORKAREA` root window property to determine how much of
      the screen is not covered by panels/docks. The property is used for example
      by Qt to determine areas of the screen that popup menus should not overlap.
    
    Fixed
    
    - Fix xwayland.c null pointer dereference causing crash with CLions. (#1352)
    - Fix issue with XWayland surfaces completely offscreen not generating commit
      events and therefore preventing them from moving onscreen.
    - Do not de-active windows when layer-shell client takes keyboard focus, to
      fix sfwbar minimize action. (#1342)
    - Move layer-shell popups from the background layer to the top layer to render
      them above normal windows. Previously this was only done for the bottom
      layer. In support of Raspberry Pi's `pcmanfm --desktop`. (#1293)
    - Calculate `usable_area` before positioning clients to ensure it is correct
      before non exclusive-zone layer-shell clients are positioned or resized.
      (#1285)
    - Prevent overriding XWayland maximized/fullscreen/tiled geometry to fix an
      issue where some XWayland views (example: xfce4-terminal) do not end up with
      exactly the correct geometry when tiled.
    
    Changed
    
    - Treat XWayland panel windows as if fixedPosition rule is set
    - Use the GTK3 notebook header color as the default active title color
      (small change from `#dddad6` to `#e1dedb`). Written-by: @dimkr
  • upstream/0.7.0
  • debian/0.6.6-1

  • upstream/0.6.6+20231127.aab8061
  • 0.6.6
    labwc 0.6.6
    
    Added
    
    - Add `fixedPosition` window-rule property to avoid re-positioning windows
      on reserved-output-space changes (determined by *<margin>* settings or
      exclusive layer-shell clients) and to disallow interactive move or
      resize, for example by alt+press.
    - Add `Unfocus` action to enable unfocusing windows on desktop click.
      Issue: #1230
    - Add config option `<keyboard layoutScope="window">` to use per-window
      keyboard layout. Issue #1076
    - Support separate horizontal and vertical maximize by adding a
      `direction` option to actions Maximize and ToggleMaximize.
    - Add actions GrowToEdge and ShrinkToEdge. Written-by: @digint
    - Add `snapWindows` option to MoveToEdge action. Written-by: @digint
    - Add MoveToCursor action. Written-by: @Arnaudv6
    - Add config option `<keyboard><numlock>` to enable Num Lock on startup.
    - Support Meta (M), Hyper (H), Mod1, Mod3, Mod4 and Mod5 modifiers in
      keybind definitions. Fixes: #1061
    - Add themerc 'titlebar.height' option. Written-by: @mozlima
    - Add If and ForEach actions. Written-by: @consus
    - Allow referencing the current workspace in actions, for example:
      `<action name="SendToDesktop" to="current"/>`
    
    Fixed
    
    - Do not reset XWayland window SSD on unminimize
    - Keep XWayland stacking order in sync when switching workspaces
    - Update top-layer visiblity on workspace-switch in order to show
      top-layer layer-shell clients correctly when there is a window in
      fullscreen mode on another workspace. Issues: #1040 #1158
    - Make interactive window snapping with mouse more intuitive in
      multi-output setups. Written-by: @tokyo4j
    - Try to handle missing `set_window_geometry` with Qt apps which
      occasionally fail to call `set_window_geometry` after a configure
      request, but correctly update the actual surface extent. Issue: #1194
    - Update XWayland stacking order when moving a window to the front/back.
    - Prevent switching workspaces for always-on-bottom windows. Fixes: #1170
    - Fix invisible cursor after wlopm --off && wlopm --on.
    - When a session is locked using 'session-lock' protocol, reconfigure for
      output layout changes to avoid incorrect positioning
    - Account for window base size in resize indicator so that the displayed
      size exactly matches the terminal grid, for example 80x25.
    - The following focus related issues:
      - Allow re-focusing xwayland-unmanaged surfaces in response to pointer
        action (click or movement if focus-follow-mouse is enabled). This
        enables clients such as dmenu, rofi and jgmenu to regain
        keyboard-focus if it was lost to another client.
      - Fix code paths which could lead to a lock-screen losing focus, making
        the session impossible to unlock or another surface to gain focus thus
        breaching the session lock.
      - Only focus topmost view on unmap if unmapped view was focused.
      - Fix `xwayland_surface->data` bug relating to unmanaged surfaces.
      - Fix layer subsurface focus bug to make waybar's minimize-raise work.
        Fixes: #1131
      - Ignore focus change to unmanaged surface belonging to same PID to fix
        an issue with menus immediately closing in some X11 apps.
      - Avoid focusing xwayland views that do not want focus using the ICCCM
        "Globally Active" input model.
      - Allow re-focus between "globally active" XWayland views of the same
        PID.
      - Assume that views that want decorations also want focus
    - The following keyboard and keybind related issues:
      - Send pressed keys correctly when focusing new surface.
      - Refactor handling of pressed/bound keys to send (to client) the
        release events for any pressed key that was not part of a keybind,
        typically because an unrelated non-modifier key was pressed before
        and held during a keybind invocation. Fixes #1091 #1245
      - Fix keyboard release event bug after session lock. Fixes: #1114
    - Raise xdg and xwayland sub-views correctly relative to other sub-views,
      by letting the relative stacking order between them change.
    - Honor initially maximized requests for XWayland views via
      `_NET_WM_STATE`.
    - For initially maximized XWayland views, set the stored natural geometry
      to be output-centered.
    - Fix regions rounding error sometimes resulting in incorrect gaps
      between regions.
    
    Changed
    
    - Move floating windows in response to changes in reserved output space
      (determined by *<margin>* settings or exclusive layer-shell clients such
      as panels). Users with window-rules for panels and/or desktops should
      add the `fixedPosition` property to avoid regression. Issue: #1235
    - Restore `SIGPIPE` default handler before exec. Fixes: #1209
    - With the introduction of directional Maximize, right-click on the
      maximize button now toggles horizontal maximize, while middle-click
      toggles vertical maximize.
    - Make MoveToEdge snap to the next window edge by default rather than
      just the screen edge.
    - Comment out variables in `docs/environment` to avoid users using the
      file without editing it and ending up with unwanted settings.
      Fixes: #1011
    - Set `_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1` unless already set.
    - This release has seen significant refactoring and minor improvements
      with respect to window and surface focus (particular thanks to
      @jlindgren). This work has helped uncover and fix some hard-to-find
      bugs. We don't believe that there are any regressions, but can't say
      for sure.
    - Set Num Lock to enabled by default on start up
    - Allow switching VT when locked
    - Use `fnmatch()` for pattern matching instead of `g_pattern_match_simple()`
      because it is a POSIX-compliant function which has a glob(7) manual page
      for reference.
    - Title context is used instead of TitleBar for the default client-menu
      on click. This means that if a button is right-clicked, the client-menu
      will not appear anymore.
    - Always switch to the workspace containing the view being focused.
  • upstream/0.6.6
  • 0.6.5
    labwc 0.6.5
    
    Added
    
    - Support png and svg titlebar buttons
    - Support on/off boolean configuration values (in addition to true, false,
      yes and no). Written-by: @redtide
    - keybinds
      - Allow non-english based keybinds
      - Make keybind agnostic to keyboard layout. Fixes #1069
      - Add optional layoutDependent argument to only trigger if the
        configured key exists in the currently active keyboard layout.
        `<keybind key="" layoutDependent="">`
      - Fallback on raw keysyms (as if there were no pressed modifier) for
        bindings which do not match against translated keysyms. This allows
        users to define keybinds such as "S-1" rather than "S-exclam". It also
        supports "W-S-Tab".  Fixes #163 #365 #992
    - window-rules: add ignoreFocusRequest property
    - config: support libinput `<tapAndDrag>` and `<dragLock>`.
      Written-by: @tokyo4j
    - Handle keyboard input for menus. Fixes #1058
    - Server-side decoration:
      - Make corners square on maximize
      - Disable border on maximize. Fixes #1044
    - Add window resize indicator and associated `<resize><popupShow>` config
      option
    - Add `<theme><keepBorder>` to give `ToggleDecoration` three states:
      (1) disable titlebar; (2) disable whole SSD; and (3) enables whole SSD
      When the keepBorder action is disabled, the old two-state behavior is
      restored. Fixes #813
    - Minimize whole window hierarchy from top to bottom regardless of which
      window requested the minimize. For example, if an 'About' or 'Open File'
      dialog is minimized, its toplevel is minimized also, and vice versa.
    - Move window's stacking order with dialogs so that other window cannot be
      positioned between them. Also position xdg popups above their parent
      windows.This is consistent with Gtk3 and Qt5. Fixes #823
    
    Fixed
    
    - Clarify in labwc-config(5) that keyboard modifiers can be used for
      mousebinds. Fixes #1075
    - Ensure interactive move/resize ends correctly for CSD clients. Fixes #1053
    - Fix invalid value in `<accelProfile>` falling back as "flat"
    - Fix touch bug to avoid jumping when a touch point moves off of a surface
      Written-by: @bi4k8
    - Prevent crash with theme setting `osd.window-switcher.width: 0`.
      Fixes #1050
    - Cancel cursor popup grab on mouse-press outside client itself, for
      example on any part of the server side decoration or the desktop.
      Fixes #949
    - Prevent cursor press on layer-subsurface from cancelling popup grab
      Fixes #1030
    - xwayland: fix client request-unmap bug relating to foreign-toplevel handle
    - xwayland: fix race condition resulting in map view without surface
    - Limit SSD corner radius to the height of the titlebar
    - Fix rounded-corner bug producing weird artefacts when very large border
      thickness is used. Fixes #988
    - Ensure `string_prop()` handlers deal with destroying views. Fixes #1082
    - Fix SSD thickness calculation bug relating to titlebar. Fixes #1083
    - common/buf.c:
      - Do not expand `$()` in `buf_expand_shell_variables()`
      - Do not use memcpy for overlapping regions
    
    Changed
    
    - Use `identifier` for window-switcher field rather than `app_id` to be
      consistent with window rules.
    
          <windowSwitcher>
            <fields>
              <field content="identifier" width="25%"/>
            </fields>
          </windowSwithcer>
    
    - Do not expand environment variables in `Exec` action `<command>`
      argument (but still resolve tilde).

    - Add support for `ext_idle_notify` protocol.
    - Window-switcher: #879 #969
      - Set item-height based on font-height
      - Add theme option:
        - osd.window-switcher.width
        - osd.window-switcher.padding
        - osd.window-switcher.item.padding.x
        - osd.window-switcher.item.padding.y
        - osd.window-switcher.item.active.border.width
    - Actions:

      Written-by: @Sachin-Bhat
    - Window rules: #787 #933
      - Add properties: `skipTaskbar` and `skipWindowSwitcher`
      - Add criteria `title` and `matchOnce`
    
    Fixed
    
    - Support XML CDATA for `<menu><item><action><command>` in order to provide
      backward compatibility with obmenu-generator #972
    - Call `wlr_xwayland_surface_set_minimized()` on xwayland window (un)minimize
      to fix blank surface after minimizing fullscreen Steam windows. #958
    - Fix focus at the end of drag-and-drop operation respecting
      `<focus><followMouse>` if enabled. #939 #976

  • upstream/0.6.4
  • 0.6.3
    labwc 0.6.3
    
    Added
    
    - Add `focus.followMouseRequiresMovement` to allow a stricter
      focus-what-is-under-the-cursor configuration. #862
    
    - Support window-rules including properties and on-first-map actions.
      Any actions in labwc-actions(5) can be used. Only 'serverDecoration'

          <windowRules>
            <windowRule identifier="some-application">
              <action name="Maximize"/>
            </windowRule>
            <windowRule identifier="foo*" serverDecoration="yes|no"/>
          </windowRules>
    
    - Support configuration of window switcher field definitions.
      Issues #852 #855 #879
    
          <windowSwitcher show="yes" preview="yes" outlines="yes">

              <field content="type" width="25%" />
              <field content="app_id" width="25%" />
              <field content="title" width="50%" />
            </fields>
          </windowSwitcher>
    
    - Add actions:
        - 'Lower' Written-by: @jech
        - 'Maximize'
    - Support ext-session-lock protocol. Helped-by: @heroin-moose
    - Handle XWayland unmanaged surface requests for 'activate' and
      'override-redirect'. Fixes: #874
    - Add config support for scroll-factor. Fixes #846
    - Support 'follow' attribute for SendToDesktop action. Fixes #841
    
    Fixed
    
    - Fix adaptive sync configuration. Helped-by: @heroin-moose #642
    - Ignore SIGPIPE to fix crash caused by Wayland clients requesting X11
      clipboard but closing the read-fd before/while the X11 clipboard is
      being written to. Fixes #890
    - Ellipsize on-screen-display text
    - Validate PID before activating XWayland unmanaged surfaces to check that
      the surface trying to grab focus is actually a child of the topmost
      mapped window.
    - Respect cursor constraint hints when cursor movement occurs after
      unlocking the pointer. Written-by: @FuzzyQuills Fixes #872
    - Fix invisible cursor on startup and output loss/restore.
      Reported-by: @Flrian Fixes #820
    - Fix decoration protocol implementation
        - Respect earlier decoration negotiation results via the
          xdg-decoration protocol. Previously setting `<decoration>` to
          `client` would cause applications which prefer server side
          decorations to not have any decorations at all.
          Fixes #297 #831
        - Handle results of kde-server-decoration negotiations
    - Fix `<focus><followMouse>` cursor glitches and issues with focus
      switching via Alt-Tab. Issue #830 #849
    
    Changed
    
    - Make `<windowSwitcher>` a toplevel element rather than a child of
      `<core>`
    - Default to follow="true" for SendToDesktop action as per Openbox 3.6
      specification.
  • 0.6.2
    labwc 0.6.2
    
    This release contains refactoring and simplification relating to
    view-output association and xdg/xwayland configure/map events.
    
    Unless otherwise stated all contributions are by the core-devs
    (@Consolatis, @jlindgren90 and @johanmalm).
    
    Added
    
    - Add config option `<core><windowSwitcher show="no" />` to hide
      windowSwitcher (also known as On Screen Display) when switching windows.
    - Enable config option `<core><windowSwitcher preview="" />` by default.
    - Add ToggleKeybinds action to disable/enable all keybinds (other than
      ToggleKeybinds itself). This can be used to better control Virtual
      Machines, VNC clients, nested compositors or similar. (#738 and #810)
    - Implement cursor constraints (Written-by: @Ph42oN) and lock confinement.
    - Support xdg-activation protocol to allow applications to activate
      themselves (e.g. raise to the top and get keyboard focus) if they
      provide a valid `xdg_activation token`.
    - Allow clearing key/mouse bindings by using the 'None' action. This
      enables the use of `<default />` and then selectively removing keybinds.
      For example the following could be used to allow using A-Left/Right with
      Firefox.
    
          <keyboard>
            <default/>
            <keybind key="A-Left"><action name="None" /></keybind>
            <keybind key="A-Right"><action name="None" /></keybind>
          </keyboard>
    
    Fixed
    
    - Prevent cursor based region-snapping when starting a move with Alt-Left.
      If region-snapping is wanted in this situation, just press the modifier
      again. (#761)
    - Prevent rare crash due to layering move/resize/menu operations. (#817)
    - Fully reset config default values on Reconfigure if not set in config
      file.
    - Fix visual glitch when resizing xfce4-terminal from left edge caused by
      windows not accepting their request size exactly.
    - Fix issue with havoc not having a valid size on map.
    - Save `natural_geometry.x/y` with initially maximized xdg-view to fix an
      issue where, if Thunar was started maximized, it would un-maximize to
      the top-left corner rather than the center.
    
    Changed
    
    - Change config option `<cycleView*>` to `<windowSwitcher>`.
      Use `<core><windowSwitcher show="yes" preview="no" outlines="yes" />`
      instead of:
    
          <core>
            <cycleViewOSD>yes</cycleViewOSD>
            <cycleViewOutlines>yes</cycleViewOutlines>
            <cycleViewPreview>yes</cycleViewPreview>
          </core>

  • 0.6.0
    labwc 0.6.0
    
    This release contains significant refactoring to use the wlroots
    scene-graph API. This touches many areas of the code, particularly
    rendering, server-side-decoration, the layer-shell implementation and the
    menu. Many thanks to @Consolatis for doing most of the heavy lifting with
    this.
    
    Noteworthy, related changes include:
    
    - The use of a buffer implementation instead of using wlr_texture. It
      handles both images and fonts, and scales according to output scale.
    - The use of node-descriptors to assign roles to wlr_scene_nodes in order
      to simplify the code.
    - Improving the "Debug" action to print scene-graph trees
    
    A large number of bugs and regressions have been fixed following the
    re-factoring, too many to list here, but we are grateful to all who have
    reported, tested and fixed issues. Particular mentions go to @bi4k8,
    @flrian, @heroin-moose, @jlindgren90, @Joshua-Ashton, @01micko and @skerit
    
    Added
    
    - Set environment variable LABWC_PID to the pid of the compositor so that
      SIGHUP and SIGTERM can be sent to specific instances.
    - Add command line options --exit and --reconfigure.
    - Support setting keyboard repeat and delay at runtime. Written-by: @bi4k8
    - Add support for mouse-wheel bindings. Set default bindings to switch
      workspaces when scrolling on the desktop.  Written-by: @Arnaudv6
    - Implement key repeat for keybindings. Written-by: @jlindgren90
    - Support smooth scroll and horizontal scroll. Written-by: @bi4k8
    - Implement virtual keyboard and pointer protocols, enabling the use of
      clients such as wtype and wayvnc. Written-by: @Joshua-Ashton
    - Add github workflow CI including Debian, FreeBSD, Arch and Void,
      including a build without xwayland.
    - Support keybind "None" action to clear other actions for a particular
      keybind context. Written-by: @jlindgren90
    - Support font slant (itliacs) and weight (bold). Written-by: @jlindgren90
    - Support `<default />` mousebinds to load default mousebinds and provide
      a way to keep config files simpler whilst allowing user specific binds.
      Issue #416. Written-by: @Consolatis
    - Add config option `<core><cycleViewOutlines>` to enable/disable preview
      of outlines. Written-by: @Flrian
    - Render submenu arrows
    - Allow highest level menu definitions - typically used for root-menu and
      client-menu - to be defined without label attritube, for example like this:
      `<openbox_menu><menu id="root-menu">...</menu></openbox>`. Issue #472
    - Allow xdg-desktop-portal-wlr to work out of the box by initializing dbus
      and systemd activation environment. This enables for example OBS Studio
      to work with no user configuration. If systemd or dbus is not available
      the environment update will fail gracefully. PR #461

    - Fix various bugs associated with destroying/disabling outputs, including
      issue #497
    - Hide Alt-Tab switcher when canceling via Escape. @jlindgren90
    - (Re)set seat when xwayland is ready (because wlroots reset the seat

      on usable_area to ensure that cursor events are sent to clients such as
      panels in preference to grabbing window edges. Fixes #265.
      Written-by: @Consolatis
    - Always position submenus inside output extents. Fixes #276
      Written-by: @Consolatis
    - Do not crash when changing TTY. Written-by: @bi4k8

      enables labwc commits to be checked out and build without manually
      having to find the right wlroots commit if there are upstream breaking
      changes.
    - Increase accuracy of window center-alignment, taking into account
      usable_area and window decoration. Also, top/left align if window is
      bigger than usable area.
    - Handle view-destruction during alt-tab cycling.
      Written-by: @Joshua-Ashton

    - Fix bug in environment variable expansion by allowing underscores to be
      part of the variable names. Issue #439
    - Fix parsing bug of adaptiveSync setting and test for support
    
    Changed
    
    - src/config/rcxml.c: distinguish between no and unknown font places so
      that `<font>` with no `place` attribute can be added after other font
      elements without over-writing their values. Written-by: @bi4k8
    - theme: change window.label.text.justify default to center
    - Redefine the SSD "Title" context to cover the whole Titlebar area except
      the parts occupied by buttons. This allows "Drag" and "DoubleClick"
      actions to be de-coupled from buttons. As a result, "Drag" and
      "DoubleClick" actions previously defined against "TitleBar" should now
      come under the "Title" context, for example:
      `<mousebind button="Left" action="Drag"><action name="Move"/></mousebind>`
    - Remove default alt-escape keybind for Exit because too many people have
      exited the compositor by mistake trying to get out of alt-tab cycling
      or similar.

      some xwayland clients leave unmapped child views around. Although

  • 0.5.0
    labwc 0.5.0
    
    Compile with wlroots 0.15.1
    
    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
