hyprwm/Hyprland v0.31.0 on GitHub

A sizeable update for y'all, with quite a few breaking changes.

Here, have this rose as a sorry for the breaking chonker: 🌹

Shoutout to Marcin Zawada from my Polish friend's university for being cool :)

Breaking changes

decoration:multisample_edges has been nuked. A better algorithm is used by default.
misc:disable_hypr_chan has been removed. The new, more flexible option is misc:force_default_wallpaper with a default of -1. Setting to 0 will use the non-anime backgrounds exclusively and behave like the old disable_hypr_chan = true
All group-related options have been moved to group:, please see the docs here: https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Variables/#group
Some makefile stuff has been changed/removed, see the notes for packagers.

Notes for packagers

notably, make config, make pluginenv and make fixwlr have been nuked.
almost the entire makefile pipeline has been moved into CMake itself.
Building is done via make all (or make release, make debug)
Installing is done via sudo make install. Please note this will not compile Hyprland at all, and only install built files.
