Sway 1.0-rc1 contains 311 changes from 32 contributors since 1.0-beta2. The release candidates are considered complete and will receive no new features, only bug fixes. Once a release candidate sees a week of testing without turning up any new bugs, it will become a stable release.

The recommended wlroots version to use with this sway release is 0.3.

Package maintainers: please do not package this release.

Changes

  • swayidle and swaylock are now standalone projects and must be installed separately. These no longer depend on wlroots or sway's internals and can be used with other Wayland compositors.
  • The minimum required scdoc version is now 1.8.1 (for generating man pages)
  • The minimum required systemd version (for optional systemd integration) is now 239

New features

  • Add tray support to swaybar. Note: this is limited to the SNI protocol. The legacy Xembed protocol is not yet supported, nor is the canonical dbus menu.
  • Pointer constraints (necessary for locking the pointer in video games) is now supported
  • Add hide_cursor <timeout> to hide the cursor when not in use
  • Support for clipboard managers such as wl-clipboard via the data-control-v1 protocol
  • Tiling containers can now be stickied
  • i3's fullscreen global command has been implemented
  • Seat commands can now refer to seat "-" to affect the current seat
  • Add a new xwayland command to disable Xwayland in the config file
  • Add a new tiling_drag_threshold command
