v0.42.0
9a09eac

At last, a very large update 0.42.0 has finally dropped!

Notable changes

  • Wlroots has been dropped, and is no longer a dependency of Hyprland.
  • Explicit sync support has been added and will be automatically turned on/off depending on your setup. For some select nvidia users, this might cause glitches. In such cases, disable it with render:explicit_sync = false
  • Old protocol implementations redone in our newer, more memory-safe impl style (thanks @ikalco!)
  • In-house XCursor implementation for legacy themes (thanks @gulafaran!)
  • Tons and tons of fixes and performance improvements!

Breaking changes

  • misc:no_direct_scanout -> render:direct_scanout
  • fakefullscreen has been dropped in favor of the new fullscreenstate dispatcher
  • custom modelines are not working anymore (fixed on git)
