As touchpad touches are generally fully abstracted, a client cannot
currently know when a user is interacting with the touchpad without
moving. This is solved by hold gestures.
Hold gestures are notifications about one or more fingers being held
down on the touchpad without significant movement.
Hold gestures are primarily designed for two interactions:
- Hold to interact: where a hold gesture is active for some time a
menu could pop up, some object could be selected, etc.
- Hold to cancel: where e.g. kinetic scrolling is currently active,
the start of a hold gesture can be used to stop the scroll.
Unlike swipe and pinch, hold gestures, by definition, do not have
movement, so there is no need for an "update" stage in the gesture.
Create two structs, wlr_event_pointer_hold_begin and
wlr_event_pointer_hold_end, to represent hold gesture events and the
signals to emit them: wlr_pointer->pointer.hold_begin/hold_end.
Expose the panel orientation with wlr_drm_connector_get_panel_orientation.
Leave it to the compositor to consume this information and configure the
output accordingly.

Previously, `wlr_xdg_toplevel` didn't follow the usual "current state +
pending state" pattern and instead had confusingly named
`client_pending` and `server_pending`. This commit removes them, and
instead introduces `wlr_xdg_toplevel.scheduled` to store the properties
that are yet to be sent to a client, and `wlr_xdg_toplevel.requested`
to store the properties that a client has requested. They have different
types to emphasize that they aren't actual states.
A launchee notifies with a "remove"¹ message when done starting up.
Catch these and forward to the compositor. This allows the compositor to
end the startup sequence that might have been started by another
protocol like xdg-activation.
We don't handle other messages since we expect the launcher to use a
wayland protocol like xdg-activation.
While `_NET_STARTUP_ID` helps to associate toplevels with startup-ids
this signals the end of the startup sequence.

This allows callers to specify the operations they'll perform on
the returned data pointer. The motivations for this are:
- The upcoming Linux MAP_NOSIGBUS flag may only be usable on
read-only mappings.
- gbm_bo_map with GBM_BO_TRANSFER_READ hurts performance.
With the addition of a non-surface node type, it was unclear how such
nodes should interact with scene_node_surface_at(). For example, if the
topmost node at the given point is a RECT, should the function treat
that node as transparent and continue searching, or as opaque and return
(probably) NULL?
Instead, replace the function with one returning a scene_node, which
will allow for more consistent behavior across different node types.
Compositors can downcast scene_surface nodes via the now-public
wlr_scene_surface_from_node() if they need access to the surface itself.
RECT is a solid-colored rectangle, useful for simple borders or other
decoration. This can be rendered directly using the wlr_renderer,
without needing to create a surface.
If nodes are arranged in a tree rather than at a single level, then it
makes sense that there should be a way to move them to a completely
different parent in addition to moving up or down among siblings.
This allows compositors to easily enable or disable a scene-graph node.
This can be used to show/hide a surface when the xdg_surface is
mapped/unmapped.
A new wlr_scene API has been added, following the design ideas from [1].
The new API contains the minimal set of features required to make the
API useful. The goal is to design a solid fundation and add more
features in the future.

The protocol specifies that all requests (aside from destroy) are
ignored after the compositor sends the closed event. Therefore,
destroying the wlroots object and rendering the resource inert
when sending the closed event keeps things simpler for wlroots and
compositors.
This wlr_surface_state field was a special case because we don't
want to save the whole current state: for instance, the wlr_buffer
must not be saved or else wouldn't get released soon enough.
Let's just inline the state fields we need instead.
Uses the EXT_device_query extension to get the EGL device matching the
requested DRM file descriptor. If the extension is not supported or no device
is found, the EGL device will be retrieved using GBM.
Depends on the EGL_EXT_device_enumeration to get the list of EGL devices.
As more options are added, more fields will be duplicated. Let's
just embed the struct in wlr_xwayland_server so that we don't need
to keep both in sync.
This EGL extension has been added in [1]. The upsides are:
- We directly get a render node, instead of having to convert the
primary node name to a render node name.
- If EGL_DRM_RENDER_NODE_FILE_EXT returns NULL, that means there is
no render node being used by the driver.

Adds `wlr_buffer_resource_interface` and `wlr_buffer_register_resource_interface`,
which allows a user to register a way to create a wlr_buffer from a specific
wl_resource.
Now that we have our own wl_drm implementation, there's no reason
to provide custom renderer hooks to init a wl_display in the
interface. We can just initialize the wl_display generically,
depending on the renderer capabilities.
When wlr_output manages its own swap-chain, there's no need to
hook into the backend to grab DMA-BUFs. Instead, maintain a
wlr_output.front_buffer field with the latest committed buffer.
This function doesn't need the wl_resource anymore.
In the failure paths, wlr_buffer_unlock in surface_apply_damage
will take care of sending wl_buffer.release.
Khronos refers to extensions with their namespace as a prefix in
uppercase. Change our naming to align with Khronos conventions.
This also makes grepping easier.
`wlr_client_buffer_import` is splitted in two distincts function:
- wlr_buffer_from_resource, which transforms a wl_resource into
a wlr_buffer
- wlr_client_buffer_create, which creates a wlr_client_buffer
from a wlr_buffer by creating a texture from it and copying its
wl_resource
The wl_touch.frame event is used to group multiple touch events
together. Instead of sending it immediately after each touch event,
rely on the backend to send it (and on the compositor to relay it).
This is a breaking change because compositors now need to manually
send touch frame events instead of relying on wlr_seat to do it.
Everything needs to go through the unified wlr_buffer interface
now.
If necessary, there are two ways support for
EGL_WL_bind_wayland_display could be restored by compositors:
- Either by using GBM to convert back EGL Wayland buffers to
DMA-BUFs, then wrap the DMA-BUF into a wlr_buffer.
- Or by wrapping the EGL Wayland buffer into a special wlr_buffer
that doesn't implement any wlr_buffer_impl hook, and special-case
that buffer type in the renderer.
This will allow us to remove all of our EGL wl_drm support code
and remove some weird stuff we need just for wl_drm support. In
particular, wl_drm buffers coming from the EGL implementation
can't easily be wrapped into a wlr_buffer properly.
The mailing list has never been used.
I think listing the deprecated functions in the release notes is
enough. I'd rather not add the burden of maintaining a separate
communication medium.
Custom backends and renderers need to implement
wlr_backend_impl.get_buffer_caps and
wlr_renderer_impl.get_render_buffer_caps. They can't if enum
wlr_buffer_cap isn't made public.
The wlr_egl functions are mostly used internally by the GLES2
renderer. Let's reduce our API surface a bit by hiding them. If
there are good use-cases for one of these, we can always make them
public again.
The functions mutating the current EGL context are not made private
because e.g. Wayfire uses them.
Right now, when a new output state field is added, all backends by
default won't reject it. This means we need to add new checks to
each and every backend when we introduce a new state field.
Instead, introduce a bitmask of supported output state fields in
each backend, and error out if the user has submitted an unknown
field.
Some fields don't need any backend involvment to work. These are
listed in WLR_OUTPUT_STATE_BACKEND_OPTIONAL as a convenience.
Add wlr_pixman_buffer_get_current_image for wlr_pixman_renderer.
Add wlr_gles2_buffer_get_current_fbo for wlr_gles2_renderer.
Allow get the FBO/pixman_image_t, the compositor can be add some
action for FBO(for eg, attach a depth buffer), or without pixman
render to pixman_image_t(for eg, use QPainter of Qt instead of pixman).
The types of buffers supported by the renderer might depend on the
renderer's instance. For instance, a renderer might only support
DMA-BUFs if the necessary EGL extensions are available.
Pass the wlr_renderer to get_buffer_caps so that the renderer can
perform such checks.
Fixes: 982498fab3 ("render: introduce renderer_get_render_buffer_caps")
This new API allows buffer implementations to know when a user is
actively accessing the buffer's underlying storage. This is
important for the upcoming client-backed wlr_buffer implementation.
Prior to this commit, subsurfaces could only be placed above their
parent. Any place_{above,below} request involving the parent would
fail with a protocol error.
However the Wayland protocol allows using the parent surface in the
place_{above,below} requests, and allows subsurfaces to be placed
below their parent.
Weston's implementation adds a dummy wl_list node in the subsurface
list. However this is potentially dangerous: iterating the list
requires making sure the dummy wl_list node is checked for, otherwise
memory corruption will happen.
Instead, split the list in two: one for subsurfaces above the parent,
the other for subsurfaces below.
Tested with wleird's subsurfaces demo client.

There isn't always a good time to prune old tokens. Compositors
which only implement a "give focus on activation" logic can prune
tokens on focus change. However other compositors might want to
implement other semantics, e.g. "mark urgent on activation". In this
case a focus change shouldn't invalidate other tokens.
Additionally, some tokens aren't necessarily tied to a seat.
To avoid ending up with an ever-growing list of tokens, add a timeout.
Instead of passing a wlr_texture to the backend, directly pass a
wlr_buffer. Use get_cursor_size and get_cursor_formats to create
a wlr_buffer that can be used as a cursor.
We don't want to pass a wlr_texture because we want to remove as
many rendering bits from the backend as possible.
This allows compositors to choose a wlr_buffer to render to. This
is a less awkward interface than having to call bind_buffer() before
and after begin() and end().
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2618
This property is present on all modern X11 instances. The nonpresence of
it requires applications to fall back to XQueryTree-based logic to
determine stacking logic (e.g., to determine what surface should get
Xdnd events).
These code paths are effectively untested nowadays, so this makes it
more likely for wlroots to "break" applications. For instance, the
XQueryTree fallback path has been broken in Chromium for the last 10
years.
It's easy enough to maintain this property, so let's just do it.
Fixes#2889.
This new functions cleans up the common backend state. While this
currently only emits the destroy signal, this will also clean up
the renderer and allocator in upcoming patches.
This adds a a function to create a wlr_texture from a wlr_buffer.
The main motivation for this is to allow the renderer to create a
single wlr_texture per wlr_buffer. This can avoid needless imports
by re-using existing textures.
Previously, the same struct was used for linux-dmabuf-v1 params
and buffer. This made the whole logic a little bit awkward, because
a wlr_dmabuf_v1_buffer could either be still being constructed, or
be a complete buffer.
Introduce a separate wlr_linux_buffer_params_v1 struct for buffer
params still being constructed. Once the params are complete (ie.
once the create request is sent), the params struct is destroyed
and the buffer struct is created.
This will help with [1] as well.

Drop wlr_dmabuf_v1_buffer_from_params_resource and
wlr_linux_dmabuf_v1_from_resource. Contrary to wl_buffer, these
resources are internal linux-dmabuf-v1 implementation details and
should not be shared with other interfaces.
libseat provides all session functionality, so there is no longer need
for a session backend abstraction. The libseat device ID, seat handle
and event loop handle are moved to the main wlr_session and wlr_device
structs.
The get_drm_fd was made available in an internal header with a53ab146f. Move it
now to the public header so consumers opting in to the unstable interfaces can
make use of it.
Use 128-bit hexadecimal string tokens generated with /dev/urandom
instead of UUIDs for xdg-foreign handles, removing the libuuid
dependency. Update readme and CI. Closes#2830.
build: remove xdg-foreign feature
With no external dependencies required, there's no reason not to always
build it. Remove WLR_HAS_XDG_FOREIGN as well.
wlroots' dependency on this library doesn't change the features
exposed to compositors. It's purely a wlroots implementation detail.
Thus downstream compositors shouldn't really care about it.
Introduce an "internal_features" dictionary to store the status of
such internal dependencies.
