phoshWe've just tagged and relesed phoc 0.55~alpha1 ๐ฅณ. This is basically 0.54.0 but using the recently released #wlroots 0.20.0 instead of 0.19.3. Please give it a try!
The Wayland compositor #phoc saw some workspace related improvements but the major changes affect the handling of override-redirect windows in #X11 applications. This allows X11 applications like #emacs, #ardour, etc. to work better. We also updated to #wlroots 0.19.3.
4/x.
phosh 0.54.0 is out ๐๐ฑ:
There's ๐ fixes, improvements and some new features this time.
Check out the full release notes at https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.54.0/ for details or see ๐ for a short ๐งต

Katzenmann / CatpersonLet me get this straight: The only reason why I can't mirror my screens on most #wayland compositors is that wlr-output-management does not contain a property for screen mirroring?
Why is this not a feature????
I know wl-mirror exists but it's really not that good. The battery drain is real.

TronNerd82#Wayland runs successfully on more things than I think some might realize. For example, I successfully got this #BananaPi set up with #SlackwareARM 15.0, and got my favorite #wlroots compositor, #dwl.
Big thanks to @mozes, the maintainer of Slackware ARM, and all the folks on the LinuxQuestions forum, for putting up with my nonsense regarding getting my Banana Pi to run Slackware ARM and the troubleshooting that came from it. The first BPi had dead SATA, so I bought a new one that works good :)

Its a fact, #HDR on #Linux, its taken 6 years from buying this TV to getting here, congratulations on everyone who worked on color-management-v1 for #Wayland.
This setup shows #wlroots (git) #sway (git) and #mpv
Set:
'output xxx { render_bit_depth 10; hdr off }'
In sway config then toggle using:
'swaymsg output xxx hdr toggle'
Next launch mpv using:
'mpv --target-colorspace-hint "path/file"'

Calicosinewlroots 0.20.0-RC1 just released 16 hours ago and it has "Foreign toplevel support for ext-image-capture-source-v1" (quoting from the changelog). This means that when it's fully out and when Sway has a release that supports it, direct window screenshots using grim will "just work" without git versions.
