Hi all!

This month I’ve spent a lot of time triaging Sway and wlroots issues following the Sway 1.10 release. There are a few regressions, some of which are already fixed (thanks to all contributors for sending patches!). Kenny has added support for software-only secondary KMS devices such as GUD and DisplayLink. David Turner from Raspberry Pi has contributed crop and scale support for output buffers, that way video players are more likely to hit direct scan-out. I’ve added support for explicit sync in the Wayland backend for nested compositors.

I’ve worked a bit on the Goguma mobile IRC client. The auto-complete dropdown now shows user display names, channel topics and command descriptions. Additionally, commands which don’t make sense given the current context are hidden (for instance, /part is not displayed in a conversation with a single user).

The gamja Web IRC client should now reconnect more quickly after regaining connectivity. For instance, after resume from suspend, gamja now reconnects immediately instead of waiting 10 seconds. Thanks to Matteo, soju-containers now ships arm64 images.

The NPotM is sogogi, a simple WebDAV file server. It’s quite minimal for now: a list of directories to serve is defined in the configuration file, as well as users and access lists. In the future, I’d like to add external authentication (e.g. via PAM or via another HTTP server), HTML directory listings and configuration file reload.

That’s all for now! Once again, that’s a pretty short status update. A lot of my time goes into more boring maintenance tasks and reviews. See you next month!
