- Improved xdg-activation-v1 support with workspace tracking and multi-seat
- The rendering code has been ported to the new wlroots rendering API, yielding better performance
- A new config option to disable primary selection
- A new input commands to set libinput's rotation angle and scroll button lock
- Tablet tool buttons can now be used for floating mode resize
