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 +~ vaxry
