Miracle-WM 0.6 Brings Many Improvements For This Mir-Based Wayland Compositor

([Ubuntu] 2 Hours Ago Miracle-WM 0.6)


Miracle-WM 0.6 is out today as a mega release for this Mir-based Wayland compositor by Canonical/Ubuntu developer Matthew Kosarek. Miracle-WM provides tiling window manager support inspired by i3 and Sway while being one of the most pronounced users of the Mir code.

Miracle-WM 0.6 now provides a shared library with a C interface so applications can write configuration/settings apps around Miracle-WM. There is now the Flutter-based Miracle-Settings app as an example user of this shared library for easily providing GUI configuration controls:

Miracle-WM 0.6 also implements support for the WLR output management protocol, much improved display configuration, rounded corners support for windows, Marks IPC, various new IPC commands, implemented window events, improved border rendering, and improved smoothness of animations.

Miracle-WM 0.6 also re-bases against Mir 2.21 and has a number of bug fixes and other enhancements. There's also this video by Matthew Kosarek showing off the Miracle-WM 0.6 improvements:

phoronix

After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open,
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads
On today because tomorrow's ground
Is too uncertain. And futures have
A way of falling down in midflight,
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...
That you really are strong,
And you really do have worth
And you learn and learn
With every goodbye you learn.
