1.1.0

This release includes two important new features.

ext_session_lock_v1

A 2nd Wayland protocol, is used to build lock screens for these compositors.

liblayer-shell-preload.so

Hack for running arbitrary Wayland windows as Layer Shell surfaces without recompiling. More details here.

Changelog:

• Major refactor and improvements to internal architecture, made new features possible but this release is more likely to introduce bugs than others
• Use RTLD_NEXT in libwayland-shim, dlopening libwayland is no longer needed
• Add support for ext_session_lock_v1 protocol (thanks @happenslol for the initial implementation!)
• Add examples, tests and docs for Session Lock support
• Add and document liblayer-shell-preload.so

1.0.4

• Fix protocol error on Wayfire, due to sending zwlr_layer_shell_surface_v1->configure too early
• Fix crash when hovering over a tooltip on Hyprland, due to using an old copy of xdg-shell.xml
• Fix protocol error on GTK4 >=4.16 on KDE and Hyprland, due to request arguments including references to client-only objects
• Add xdg-dialog-v1 to the mock server used by the tests, so the invalid argument bug is regression tested
• Drop Lua example and smoke test (the library should work with Lua just as well as before, but this is no longer tested or officially supported)
• Fix and suppress various warnings

1.0.3

• Tests: make tests compatible with new libwayland format
• Tests: fix integration-test-menu-popup by sending wl_buffer.release in mock server
• Fix: dlopen libwayland-client.so.0 in addition to libwayland-client.so, fixes #39

1.0.2

• Fix tests on Arch
• Realize and unrealize on remap instead of setting visibility
• Fix major use-after-free bug causing many crashes

1.0.1

• Add lua example
• Add links to Rust and Ruby bindings
• Fix doc name conflicts with GTK3 library version
• Add smoke tests

1.0.0

• Port library and examples from GTK3 to GTK4
• Remove deprecated functions gtk_layer_set_keyboard_interactivity() and gtk_layer_get_keyboard_interactivity() (gtk_layer_set_keyboard_mode() and gtk_layer_get_keyboard_mode() can be used instead)
• Change how layer surface window size is controlled, use gtk_window_set_default_size() now
• Build documentation with GitHub actions and host with GitHub Pages
• EDIT: Change license from LGPL to MIT (most of the gtk-layer-shell code was always MIT, and the LGPL bits have all been dropped)
