  • 0.5.0

    b7818df4 · build: bump version to 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

  • 0.4.0

    12b05604 · build: bump version to 0.4.0 · 
    labwc 0.4.0

Compile with wlroots 0.15.0

This release contains lots of internal changes, fixes and  new features.
A big thank you goes out to @ARDiDo, @bi4k8, @Joshua-Ashton,
@jlindgren90, @Consolatis, @telent and @apbryan. The most notable
feature-type changes are listed below:

- The config option `<lab><xdg_shell_server_side_deco>` has changed to
  `<core><decoration>` (breaking change)
- Add support for the following wayland protocols:
    - `pointer_constraints` and `relative_pointer` - mostly for gaming.
      Written-by: @Joshua-Ashton
    - `viewporter` - needed for some games to fake modesets.
      Written-by: @Joshua-Ashton
    - `wlr_input_inhibit`. This enables swaylock to be run.
      Written-by: @telent
    - `wlr_foreign_toplevel`. This enables controlling windows from clients
      such as waybar.
    - `idle` and `idle_inhibit` (Written-by: @ARDiDo)
- Support fullscreen mode.
- Support drag-and-drop. Written-by: @ARDiDo
- Add the following config options:
    - Load default keybinds on `<keyboard><default />`
    - `<keyboard><repeatRate>` and `<keyboard><repeatDelay>`
    - Specify distance between views and output edges with `<core><gap>`
    - `<core><adaptiveSync>`
    - Set menu item font with `<theme><font place="MenuItem">`
    - Allow `<theme><font>` without place="" attribute, thus enabling
      simpler config files
    - Support `<mousebind>` with `contexts` (e.g. `TitleBar`, `Left`,
      `TLCorner`, `Frame`), `buttons` (e.g. `left`, `right`), and
      `mouse actions` (e.g. `Press`, `DoubleClick`). Modifier keys are
      also supported to handle configurations such as `alt` + mouse button
      to move/resize windows. (Written-by: @bi4k8, @apbryan)
    - `<libinput>` configuration. Written-by: @ARDiDo
    - `<resistance><screenEdgeStrength>`

  'Move', 'MoveToEdge', 'Resize', 'PreviousWindow', 'ShowMenu'
