Niri 0.1.7 Scrollable-Tiling Wayland Compositor Adds Fractional Scaling

([Wayland] 6 Hours Ago Niri 0.1.7)


Niri 0.1.7 is out today as the latest version of this scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor. While the version number may not signify it, Niri 0.1.7 is quite a notable feature update.

Niri 0.1.7 has introduced fractional scaling support, which required a major rework to its layout system. Niri 0.1.7 also adds fractional layout support, xdg-desktop-portal-gnome protocol support for screencasting individual windows, and xdg-activation-v1 protocol support for letting apps pass focus to other apps.

The updated Niri also introduces a workspace switching mouse gesture and a variety of bug fixes.

The seven eyes of Ningauble the Wizard floated back to his hood as he
reported to Fafhrd: "I have seen much, yet cannot explain all. The Gray
Mouser is exactly twenty-five feet below the deepest cellar in the palace
of Gilpkerio Kistomerces. Even though twenty-four parts in twenty-five of
him are dead, he is alive.
"Now about Lankhmar. She's been invaded, her walls breached
everywhere and desperate fighting is going on in the streets, by a fierce
host which out-numbers Lankhamar's inhabitants by fifty to one -- and
equipped with all modern weapons. Yet you can save the city."
"How?" demanded Fafhrd.
Ningauble shrugged. "You're a hero. You should know."
