miracle-wm-org/miracle-wm v0.6.0 on GitHub

Happy summer from the northern hemisphere everyone 🌻 🌊 This release was WAY too big, but here we are! The next release will be way tinier, I promise 🤞

I would like to announce the creation of an official miracle-wm matrix channel. Feel free to come by and ask any questions you like about contributing to or using the project 😄 . If you're interested in contributing, go to the "Issues" tab on the miracle-wm issue and check out the "good first issue" label filter. These are a collection of issues that would make for a great introduction to the project.

Important ❗

The miracle configuration has moved from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/miracle-wm.yaml to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/miracle-wm/config.yaml.
The display configuration is now always at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/miracle-wm/display.yaml.

Features ⭐

The project now ships a shared library called libmiracle-wm-config.so, which provides a C interface that anyone can use to write their own configuration application for miracle-wm 🎉 As a proof of concept, I built a graphical configurator in Flutter miracle-settings. Feel free to contribute to that project if you're interested, or even roll your own.
Implemented the wlr output management protocol. You can now use apps like wdisplays to change your output settings at run time
Implemented a much improved display configuration
Added the ability to specify a border radius on windows meaning that we finally have rounded corners
Implemented marks ipc
Implemented fullscreen toggle ipc command
Implemented floating toggle ipc command
Implemented swap ipc command
Implemented rename workspace... ipc command
Implemented window events
Added miracle-wm-xdg-autostart.target (thanks @Sunderland93 !)
Improved how borders are rendered to greatly improve visual fidelity
Improved the smoothness of animations

Bugs 🐛

Fixed issue where we were crashing while attempting to parse a bad miracle config
Fixed seg faults that might happen on exit
Fixed some tricky timing issues with the animation system
Fixing fault clipping rectangles on tiles

Misc 🔧

Added Fedora builds to CI
Added Mir release, rc, and dev paa builds to CI
Grew the test suite from ~100 tests to ~400 tests
Updated to Mir 2.21
