Hyprland 0.46.0 is upon us!

Whoo! Just before Christmas, we’ve managed to get 0.46.0 ready for you!

Breaking changes

Some stuff has changed:

Nvidia Hardware cursors!

cursor:dumb_copy is now gone in favor of cursor:use_cpu_buffer. This should allow no-downsides Nvidia hardware cursors. Please note it’s experimental.

Window/layer rules

Window/layer rule regexes now require a full match (not any match) to trigger.

For example, in the case of jeremy:

jeremy: OK
^(jeremy)$: OK
jer: Used to match, now won’t. You’ll need to do .*jer.* to make it act like before. (Consider not doing that though, make a better regex.)

New stuff

Tons of new stuff, you can think of all of these as Christmas presents.

Color handling has been moved to OkLab from sRGB. This means gradients and color transitions will now look more natural.
XWayland Drag and Drop is back! You can now drag stuff from your Wayland clients to X11 clients.
New update screen! Whenever you update, you’ll get a small popup reassuring everything went well and reminding you to check the release notes.
Window and layer rule handling has been improved and optimized, and regex handling is now done via RE2 from Google, which is faster and generally better.
cursor:warp_on_change_workspace now accepts force to bypass cursor:no_warps.
hyprctl: clients got inhibitingIdle, monitors got directScanout, plugins list got -j support.
cursor:warp_back_after_non_mouse_input added, allowing you to keep touch / tablet input from messing with your mouse input.
lockdead_screen_delay has been added if your lockscreen can’t appear fast enough to avoid the “lockscreen dead” from flashing for a moment.
You can now blur IME popups with decoration:blur:input_methods
Version requests now also show linked versions of hypr* deps.
New windowrules for mouse and touchpad scroll factors.
Added some new festive splashes for xmas and new years :)
And more!
