title: Hyprland is now fully independent!
|
||||
date: 1721559307
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
With great pleasure may I announce that our move off of wlroots is now complete and [MR 6608](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/6608) is
|
||||
now merged.
|
||||
|
||||
After over 1000 comments on 6608 alone, and over 3 months of the entire process, the rewrite is done.
|
||||
|
||||
With it, Hyprland is no longer a wlroots-based Wayland compositor, and instead, a fully independent implementation of the protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
Don't worry though, all your wlroots apps will still work.
|
||||
|
||||
## Timeline
|
||||
|
||||
As I've outlined in my [blogpost on blog.vaxry.net](https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2024-wlrootsRewrite) in May, the rewrite took
|
||||
place in two parts.
|
||||
|
||||
The first part was rewriting all protocol implementations. This has been finished on June 8th, with [MR 6268](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/6268) being merged.
|
||||
|
||||
The second part was rewriting the backend implementation, i.e. the low-level backend stuff (KMS/DRM/libinput et al) which is now done with 6608.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes under the hood
|
||||
|
||||
All protocol implementations are now integrated into Hyprland itself, and written with C++. This should reduce the amount of memory issues and bugs compared to wlroots implementations
|
||||
and has already been doing that.
|
||||
|
||||
The backend rendering stuff has been migrated into a library written from scratch called [aquamarine](https://github.com/hyprwm/aquamarine).
|
||||
|
||||
Aquamarine is _not_ a competitor to wlroots - wlroots is a library for building Wayland compositors, while aquamarine is a tiny library providing an abstraction on top of the very low-level
|
||||
backend stuff, that also allows your program to run on either a Wayland compositor (in a window) or on a DRM session (tty).
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, many new interfaces have been added to `hyprutils`, and `hyprwayland-scanner` has gotten the ability to generate client code, already used by aquamarine and hyprpaper.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes for the user
|
||||
|
||||
See the [wiki MR](https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprland-wiki/pull/721) for the changes to config options, environment variables, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Apart from a few minor changes to how things are called, nothing else should change for you, the user.
|
||||
|
||||
## When will I get it?
|
||||
|
||||
The changes are staged for 0.42.0. If you want to test them right away, check out the -git branch, as usual.
|
||||
|
||||
## Special thanks
|
||||
|
||||
Massive thanks to all the people who helped in the long process (what was it, like 3 months?) of rewriting the wlroots stack to a nicer language.
|
||||
|
||||
Special thanks to:
|
||||
- Agent00Ming (testing and patience)
|
||||
- Ikalco (tons of patches)
|
||||
- gulafaran (patches and testing)
|
||||
- phonetic112 (testing)
|
||||
- UjinT34 (testing and patches)
|
||||
- fufexan (nix and meson)
|
||||
- And everyone who helped test here and there! There's been 38 participants in the aquamarine MR alone!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Cheers and ad meliora,
|
||||
vaxry.

title: Hyprland 0.43.0 released!
|
||||
date: 1725814920
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Quite a while after 0.42.0, 0.43.0 has finally been released.
|
||||
|
||||
This update focuses mostly on polishing up annoying issues from 0.42.0, especially those with random crashes and monitors
|
||||
not turning on/displaying garbage.
|
||||
|
||||
Most (like 95%) of the "monitor not on" issues have now been fixed with 0.43, though please also use aquamarine 0.4.1 as
|
||||
some fixes were done in aquamarine itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally to all the bugfixes, some new features have been added, for example:
|
||||
- New windowrule to keep windows rendered when invisible ([#7582](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/7582))
|
||||
- `exec-shutdown` added to the config to execute something on hyprland exit
|
||||
- Animations got `workspacein` and `workspaceout` configs
|
||||
- `hyprctl switchxkblayout` now can also take `current` and `all` for keyboard param
|
||||
- `HYPRLAND_NO_SD_VARS` environment has been added to prevent Hyprland from updating systemd's environment
|
||||
- New screens for when your lockscreen dies instead of the infamous red screen of death, with information on recovering
|
||||
- `xwayland:enabled` has been added to runtime-disable xwayland
|
||||
- `cursor:sync_gsettings_theme` has been added to sync the cursor theme to system gsettings
|
||||
- and much much more!
|
||||
|
||||
Hyprland continues being the most advanced independent wayland compositor, all thanks to the amazing community and the huge
|
||||
influx of new contributors! Your contributions are greatly appreciated.
|
||||
|
||||
Cheers, vax.
