river 0.3.0
This one's been in the pipeline for quite a while, it's been over a year
since 0.2.0 was released and river has seen significant improvements
since then. The past few months I've done my best to fix as many bugs
as possible but a non-bugfix release always entails new code reaching a
lot of people with diverse setups. If you find a bug in river please
[open an issue](https://codeberg.org/river/river/issues/new/choose).
Here's a summary of the important changes since river 0.2.
New features:
- Better rendering performance due to the
[new wlroots rendering API](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/3631) and
[gles2 renderer improvements](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/4135).
- Finely-grained damage tracking leveraging the wlroots scene graph API.
- Interactive resize of windows with the cursor from all edges/corners.
- Basic tablet input support
- Only the tablet-v2 protocol is is supported, no pointer emulation is done.
- Drawing with a tablet tool works in inkscape, libreoffice, etc.
- Tablet pad input devices are not yet supported, tracking issue:
https://codeberg.org/river/river/issues/1021
- Rules system to apply settings to windows with a matching app-id/title.
See `rule-add` in the `riverctl(1)` man page.
The following rule types are added in this release:
- float/no-float
- ssd/csd
- fullscreen/no-fullscreen
- tags
- output
- position
- dimensions
- New `-current-tags` flag for `send-to-output`
- New `-no-xwayland` flag for starting river with xwayland disabled
even if built with support.
- New `above`, `below` and `after <N>` attach modes plus the ability to
configure attach mode per output with the new `output-attach-mode`
riverctl command.
- New `-skip-floating` flag for `focus-view`
- New `scroll-factor` input configuration option
- The `input-method-v2` and `text-input-v3` protocols are supported,
with the exception of input-method popups.
- The `presentation-time` protocol is supported.
- The `fractional-scale-v1` protocol is supported.
- The `cursor-shape-v1` protocol is supported.
- The `xdg-shell` protocol version 5 is supported, up from version 2.
Breaking changes compared to 0.2:
- River now honors the client-side vs server-side decoration wishes of
clients by default instead of attempting to force server-side
decorations everywhere. To approximate the old behavior the command
`riverctl rule-add ssd` may be used.
- The `float-filter-add` and `csd-filter-add` riverctl commands have
been removed, use `rule-add` instead and see the `riverctl(1)` man
page for documentation.
- The `attach-mode` riverctl command is deprecated and currently aliased
to the new `default-attach-mode` command. The alias may be removed in
the future.
- Rendering order has changed slightly and and is now based off of focus
order instead of window management stack order.
- Pointer constraints have been reimplemented and the new implementation
does less automatic warping of the cursor.
Packaging changes:
- wlroots 0.17.2 is required.
- The official upstream river repository has moved to
https://codeberg.org/river/river
