A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor

Breaking changes

  • window/layer rule regexes now require a full match (not any match) to trigger.
  • cursor:dumb_copy is gone in favor of cursor:use_cpu_buffer. This should allow no-downsides Nvidia hardware cursors. Please note it’s experimental.

    I would think i3 is slowly dying because sway is it’s Wayland replacement. But wrong, i3 has a stable fanbase.

      Sway, from what I understand, hasn’t really made a ton of improvements that would entice the X11 holdouts to switch. Not that it’s bad, but if it’s virtually the same as X11—and that’s what someone knows best—why would they bother switching (I would, but I also try to use Wayland whenever possible).
