Avoid background title updates when no shell window list is visible, and skip output and capture invalidation for titles outside compositor decorations. Preserve focused titles, fresh window lists and capture privacy.
Request high EGL context priority with fallback, cover rendering and native title behavior in CI, and keep audio recording flowing while video capture is idle.
Add configurable mouse and wheel bindings, window move and resize, tab drops, cross-output dragging, and device settings. Adjust display scaling in 0.05 increments.
Preserve opposite-edge positioning during scrolling resizes and show rows for edge drops into tabbed columns.
Add workspace selection to the screen-sharing picker with pinned capture, privacy filtering and bounded capture resources. Refresh captured tab labels when title or app-ID metadata changes.
Use persistent privacy-filtered capture targets and client-owned GPU buffers with fence completion, backpressure, negotiated frame rates and shared-memory fallback.
Invalidate output views on scene changes while preserving inactive-window callbacks and capture revocation. Include OBS memory-mask negotiation and native pixel, transport and recording regressions.
* Integrate panel composition, adaptive sizing, and overflow
* Add instance editing controls to panel settings
* Add panel group editing and measured composition preview
* Reorganize panel settings and add drag-and-drop item editing
* Simplify panel settings and place inspectors beside the editor
* Refine Panel & Shell settings, previews, and panel rendering
* Organize settings navigation and modernize packaged panel config
* Support top and bottom panels and refine shell surfaces
Add edge-aware settings, previews, popup placement, notifications, margins, and corner rendering. Preserve translucency in notification and dialog controls, and tighten spacing around the clock and display-mode icon.
* Add workspace styles and fix Settings text rendering
* Make panel allocation independent of measurement order
* Normalize panel item settings and visibility
* Move shell geometry into each panel
* Add independent group surfaces and finalize panel configuration
* Keep panel fit checks and restoration consistent with allocation
* Reject unknown panel item options and namespace metadata
* Reject invalid shell startup configuration and remove old radius fields
* Discover workspace application icons in a background task
* Remove the panel architecture document and improve reference prose
* Let panel media fill available space and improve Settings scrolling
* Preserve panel labels across clipped GPU rendering
* Use matching alpine lake wallpapers for light and dark modes
* Fix panel accessibility and popup lifecycle
Apply Reduce Transparency to panel opacity in the shell, compositor, and
Settings preview. Reject unknown theme tokens before snapshot substitution
and validate the current geometry fields in both consumers.
Dismiss popovers and workspace tooltips after panel layout changes. Handle
bar pointer exits directly and recover workspace hover after reentry without
repeated motion updates. Cover the transitions with regression tests and
update the wallpaper dimensions check for the bundled lake defaults.
* Use tagged Ferese toolkit fixes
* Fix center-only panel spacing and headless text rendering
* Bundle native 4K abstract wallpapers for both appearances
* Dismiss workspace tooltips before captured pointer dispatch
* Verify installed JPEG wallpapers when replacing a release
Open the four display modes from XF86Display or the external-monitor bar icon. Reuse output reconciliation and confirmation for manual layout changes, and notify the shell when monitor state changes.
Release backdrop locks before render-element queries to prevent blurred popups from freezing the compositor. Cover popup open, update and close with regression tests.
Share translucent card styles between display modes and capture sources, show focus rings during keyboard navigation, and align picker buttons, label sizing and footer spacing with system modals.
The Settings portal reads appearance exclusively from the compositor's
theme control socket and falls back to defaults when no compositor is
reachable, so the contract test could no longer assert appearance from an
on-disk KDL document.
Add a fixtures/theme_owner.py peer that speaks the theme IPC framing and
publishes schema-v2 snapshots, point the test at a private runtime socket,
and clear WAYLAND_DISPLAY and WAYLAND_SOCKET so the backend cannot reach a
host compositor. Assert the initial values, the SettingChanged payload
after a republish, and that ReadAll matches the published snapshot, then
confirm an invalid local document does not disturb portal-owned
appearance.
Add consent, zones and outside-edge barriers, connection-scoped leases, bounded input queues and keyboard/pointer forwarding. Restore local input on release, locking, topology or keymap changes, receiver loss and emergency escape. Preserve held-key state and distinguish finger stops from absent scroll axes.
Validation: independent review cleared; 5 native InputCapture unit tests; 32 portal tests; official D-Bus contract checks on a private bus; real installed libei receiver interoperability test. Live physical barrier and consent interaction remain to be checked in a desktop session.
Render selected toplevels through a private portal-only capture protocol, preserve logical snapshot geometry, and renegotiate PipeWire video on window resizing. Bound outstanding snapshots and retry temporary contention; stop on source closure and session locking.
Validation: portal unit tests (31), capture budget unit, private-bus portal contracts, and real nested/PipeWire isolation, workspace, resize, close and paused-lock tests pass. Independent review cleared. Monitor restore integration timed out on both this build and the unchanged previous compositor under the current nested host.
