Sway 1.7-rc1 contains 191 changes from 73 contributors.

This pre-release depends on wlroots 0.15.0. Also see the wlroots release notes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/releases/0.15.0.

New features

  • Add output render_bit_depth command to enable high-bit depth composition.
  • Tabs can now be dragged with the mouse.
  • Zero-copy direct scanout for fullscreen windows should work more reliably thanks to linux-dmabuf surface feedback.
  • Add support for virtual reality headsets via DRM leasing.
  • Wayland-native urgency has been implemented via the xdg-activation-v1 extension.
  • Add output dpms toggle command to easily toggle screen blanking from scripts.
  • Add gaps <type> <scope> toggle <px>, smart_gaps inverse_outer and split none commands.
  • Add output modeline command to set a full custom DRM mode when custom modes don't work out-of-the-box.
  • Add client.focused_tab_title color option.

Changes

  • --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia has been removed, use --unsupported-gpu instead. The Nvidia proprietary driver remains unsupported. See b48cb6b for details.
  • The terminal emulator in the default config file has been changed to foot.
  • swaybar and swaynag can now be disabled at build-time.
  • Titlebars now have a fixed height, they no longer resize depending on characters used in the title.
