Sway 1.11 contains 189 changes from 53 contributors.

This release depends on wlroots 0.19.0. See the wlroots release notes.

New features

  • All of the enhancements from wlroots 0.19.0.
  • Add support for linux-drm-syncobj-v1 for explicit synchronization
  • Add support for alpha-modifier-v1 for setting an alpha multiplier for a surface
  • Add support for ext-image-copy-capture-v1 and ext-image-capture-source-v1 for improved screen capture
  • Add support for ext-data-control-v1 as an alternative protocol for clipboard managers
  • Improved output configuration logic for better and faster fallbacks
  • Pointer keys are now supported and can be bound in keymaps to trigger pointer events
  • security-context-v1 metadata is exposed in IPC, and can be used in criteria and title format

Changes

  • The default configuration file now ships key bindings for a few utilities: pactl, brightnessctl, grim
  • The default menu now uses wmenu-run and no longer depends on dmenu_path.
  • The default tap-and-drag lock mode has been switched to sticky as recommended by upstream
  • The sway.desktop file now sets DesktopNames (XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP will be set by login managers)
