BREAKING

• IMPORTANT: --format xrgb is no longer supported. Use --format argb instead. However, this is now the default, so, if you want, you can simply not set anything instead. We still accept --format xrgb so as to not break any configurations. Previously, the daemon automatically would check to see which wayland_shm format was the most convenient for us to use. However, many people have had weird bugs when using any format other than xrgb. Therefore, we have made that the default, and only change it when the user specifically asks for it.
• swww query now returns information in the following format:
  <namespace>: OUTPUT: SIZE, scale: SCALE, currently displaying: IMAGE_OR_COLOR
• we are creating the socket in a slightly different location now:
  ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}-swww-daemon.<specified namespace>.socket

Additions

• every command (except clear-cache) now accepts a -n|--namespace argument. This namespace will then be appended to swww-daemon to make up the wayland namespace of the daemon's layer surface.
• as a convenience, every command (except clear-cache) also accepts a -a|--all flag, that lets the user send commands to all namespaces at once.
• support avif decoding through dav1d, with the --features=avif compilation option.
• we finally support static SVGs!
• swww-daemon now correctly renders static images with transparency.
• swww clear now accepts colors with an alpha value.

Fixes

• Fixed a division by 0 when animating with no frames
• Fixed destroying wayland buffers too early
• Better fractional-scale implementation (we shamelessly tried copying the swaybg implementation). This will hopefully prevent newer issues with hyprland.
