#foot 1.27.0 is out! 🥳
https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/releases/tag/1.27.0
Foot is a minimalistish, performant and low-latency Wayland-only terminal emulator.
## 1.27.0 ### Added * `url.style=none|single|double|curly|dotted|dashed` option added, allowing you to configure how URL underlines are drawn. The default is `dotted` ([#2302][2302]). [2302]: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/2302 ### Changed * URL underlines are now dotted b...
Emojis recently disappeared in foot and/or fuzzel?
Install a non-COLRv1 emoji font (bitmap or SVG-based are fine).
This has always been a limitation in fcft, but it seems a popular emoji font recently switched to COLRv1.
Testing river/kwm. Liking it so far. Being able to switch between different layouts is great.
Niri has been very nice, but it's a little bit too heavy, with a bit too many features I don't use.
River 0.4.0 is released, introducing the river-window-management-v1 protocol!
See my blog post for an in-depth explanation of the protocol: https://isaacfreund.com/blog/river-window-management/
#foot 1.26.1 just released! 🥳
If you use the server mode, on KDE or niri, you'll definitely want to update.
Isaac Freundinitial-color-theme in foot.ini(5) ([#2292][2292]).tweak.pre-apply-damage=yes (the default) ([#2288][2288]).#foot 1.26.0 has been released 🥳
Too many changes to list here, see the full changelog at: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/releases/tag/1.26.0
Foot is a minimalistish terminal emulator for Wayland that prioritizes low latency input, and high throughput at the same time.
### Added * `toplevel-tag` option (and `--toplevel-tag` command line options to `foot` and `footclient`), allowing you to set a custom toplevel tag. The compositor must implement the new `xdg-toplevel-tag-v1` Wayland protocol ([#2212][2212]). * `[colors-dark]` section to `foot.ini`. Replaces ...
#fuzzel 1.14.1 is out! 🥳
This is a bug fix release. A couple of crash fixes, and we also fixed a sorting/matching regression. So make sure you update ;)
https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/releases/tag/1.14.1
Big thanks to @markstos who has been stepping up as a co-maintainer and is doing more and more for each release.
### Fixed * Removed statement that Cairo is required for rounded corners. This is no longer true. * Segfault when attempting to parse a comment in an icon `index.theme` file and correctly interpreting KV pairs by ignoring whitespace ([#727][727]). * Fixed fzf-mode sorting regression in 1.14....
Alright, I've finished most of the things that I wanted to finish, so I created a pull request for background blur in niri: https://github.com/niri-wm/niri/pull/3483
Please give it a good test and tell me if anything's broken!
For running Linux apps on macOS there's now this Wayland compositor that's native to Mac. The demo video features Fuzzel by @dnkl and Niri by @YaLTeR
https://youtu.be/VS3vQp5i8YQ?si=u52YycbIYc5458GK
Looks like the expected way to use it is to run Linux apps on a remote machine and use "waypipe" to display them natively on macOS.
It's novel in that's there's no VM involved.
The video for my FOSDEM talk, Separating the Wayland Compositor and Window Manager is online now!
I thought it went very well except for the demo of course, I really should have automated it fully with a script or just showed screenshots of various window managers instead.
I did get tons of questions and positive feedback :)
