Sway 1.1

sway 1.1 includes 255 changes from 58 contributors. This release introduces a few new features, but for the most part just fixes bugs and improves i3 compatibility.

swaybg is now distributed as a standalone program which is compatible with many Wayland compositors. Unlike the other sway clients which have been split into separate projects, however, swaybg is a required dependency of sway. Packagers are encouraged to configure it as such when updating sway for their distribution.

You do not have to change your sway configuration to accomodate for the swaybg changes - the same output commands will still work.

Changes

• swaybg is now a standalone project

New Features

• swaybar now includes touch support - tapping to activate hotspots and dragging across to cycle through workspaces
• You can now manually inhibit idle notifications (DPMS) when a certain criteria is active via inhibit_idle
• Keybindings can now be unconfigured at runtime via unbind{sym,code,switch}
• workspace {prev,next}_on_output --create will create the next workspace instead of wrapping to the start
• Output subpixel layouts can now be explicitly configured
• i3bar's short_text properties in the JSON protocol are now supported
• swaybar now supports an "overlay" mode, which shows the bar on top of other windows and doesn't process input events
• Switch devices (like lid switches) are now supported and can be bound to actions via bindswitch
• swaymsg now supports a -p/--pretty option for explicitly enabling pretty-printing
