Overview
Request 1218901 accepted
- Update to version 1.10:
Features
* All of the enhancements from wlroots 0.18.
* Rewrite the renderer to leverage the wlroots scene-graph API,
resulting in improved performance.
* Add GPU reset recovery for improved robustness.
* Add a command to use an ICC profile for an output.
* Improved output configuration algorithm to light up more
outputs when the GPU bandwidth is constrained.
WLR_DRM_NO_MODIFIERS shouldn't be necessary anymore to
workaround black screens on Intel.
* Add support for IME popups used for CJK.
* Add support for tearing-control-v1, to opt-in for tearing
page-flips for gaming use-cases.
* Add support for ext-transient-seat-v1, allowing remoting apps
such as wayvnc to create separate temporary seats for input
events.
* Add support for ext-foreign-toplevel-list-v1, the new standard
protocol to obtain information about other toplevels. This will
eventually be used by taskbars, window switchers and
per-toplevel screen capture.
* Add support for xdg-shell v5 with popup repositioning and
hiding maximize/minimize buttons in CSD.
Changes
* dmenu_run is no longer a dependency of the default config file.
* The default config file now contains keybindings with pactl for
volume adjustment, brightnessctl for brightness adjustment and
grim for screenshots.
* The legacy wl_drm protocol is now disabled by default
(superseded by the standard linux-dmabuf-v1 protocol). This
causes breakage in xorg-xwayland < 24.1.0, libva < 2.22.0 and
amdvlk < 2024.Q4.1, and can be re-enabled manually via
-Dlegacy-wl-drm.
* The xwayland built-time option has been removed: Xwayland
support is now enabled at build-time if it was enabled for
wlroots.

We should really look at separating out the sway-contrib package. I attempted this before but was canned. Possibly worth reconsidering now that they've actually separated @uncomfyhalomacro
wait.. aren't they separated before? i need to look at the changes file
ah nvm. it's a subpackage. hmm we can do that. let me try branching out then. it's low priority but i will be able to do this tomorrow morning.
