+title: A huge Hyprland release 0.41.0
+date: 1718030074
+---
+
+Just as we thought 0.40.0 was a mega-release, we now proudly present 0.41.0, which is almost twice as sizeable.
+
+0.41.0 changes over 25000 lines of code over almost 200 commits from dozens of contributors.
+
+## Ongoing work to detach from wlroots
+
+As I've explained in [my blogpost on vaxry.net](https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2024-wlrootsRewrite) there's currently
+a large ongoing effort to move away from wlroots, which requires essentially re-implementing all wlroots' features in hyprland.
+
+The work is going mostly smoothly, with some inevitable small bugs here and there, but overall not that many.
+
+As we stand right now, 0.41.0 has completely gotten rid of wlroots for handling anything related to wayland, so the entire Wayland stack
+is now wlroots-free. The only thing remaining now is the backend (kms / libinput / drm) which will be the target of most likely 0.42 (maybe 0.43)
+quite soon. After that, Hyprland will become a new, fully independent Wayland implementation.
+
+## New stuff
+
+0.41.0 also brings a ton of new goodies and fixes. Many annoying issues from 0.40.0 (lockscreens, keybinds, hyprpm etc) have been fixed
+and some new features include:
+
+- New IPC events for groups
+- A few QoL features for keybinds (sendshortcut, new monitor flags, keybind combos)
+- New QoL stuff for hyprctl (--quiet, fixes for batch, config flag for systeminfo)
+- New protocol impl: hyprland_focus_grab
+- Ability to configure the position of the error bar
+- Tons of bugfixes
+- And much much more!
+
+## Closer
+
+The current roadmap mostly focuses on migrating from wlroots, and after that is done, I plan on focusing on any bugs that arose from it, and possibly polishing the
+ecosystem a bit (hyprpaper, xdph, etc) to provide a bit smoother of an experience.
+
+Cheers
