- Add optional modifier-only Super binding whose tap is cancelled by
other input, focus changes, grabs, locks, and session teardown.
- Ship the native ferese-rime user service, Rime defaults, installer
inventory, package dependencies, session environment, and docs.
- Vendor Smithay 8a27023 with the SHM texture-cache format fix and add
GPU regressions for format changes and resize snapshots.
- Release reused CRTC owners before staging output modes, then restore
changed outputs before former owners when a transaction fails.
- Wait for resize-capture GPU completion, expand filtered surface
damage, and preserve IME popup origin under fractional scaling.
- Mark weekends like holidays in both calendar layouts.
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.
Add configurable night light, smooth gamma transitions, and shell controls. Update documentation and panel tests, and fix portal test startup synchronization.
Publish the guides from this repository to the GitHub Wiki. Organize them into Usage, Configuration and Development, with 15 separate configuration topics and redirects for the former website guide URLs.
Add a tabbed-windows guide covering grouping, switching tabs and taking windows out. Document the scrolling indicator's defaults and limits, and link the guide from the README, shortcuts and IPC pages. Update from main, including the latest tabbed-layout changes.
Separate Activities setup, configuration and publishing documentation. Review the guide prose with the unslop skill, keeping existing examples and heading links. The wiki workflow uses GitHub's built-in token to publish documentation changes on main.
Validation:
- 20 documentation tests pass, including README links and Activities/tab-indicator field coverage.
- The publisher builds 46 wiki pages; the site build and Python syntax checks pass.
- All 115 code examples from main are preserved.
- The Python suite passes: 90 tests passed and 31 opt-in integration tests skipped, with the system GI module available.
Add named keyboard shortcut maps with an Escape exit and a panel indicator. Keep press/release ownership across transitions, validate remapped Escape keys, and cancel stale repeats and focus previews.
Give the indicator ownership of the panel while a mode is active. Close popovers, collapse Morph, and keep Live Activities data current without resizing the hidden panel. Document configuration and transition behavior.
Validation: 1,519 workspace Rust tests passed; 70 Python tests passed. Workspace build, formatting, Clippy, and Settings configuration validation passed. Opt-in native desktop checks were not rerun because Weston is absent.

Invalid configuration currently prevents login. Ferese now starts with built-in defaults and shows a notification when the shell is ready, leaving the file untouched. Loading and validation belong to the config module, while the theme module resolves appearance. Validation remains strict, and failed live reloads keep the active settings.
The native Morph regression checks the animated input region and idle frame scheduling while its backing surface stays allocated.
Validation: workspace and Python tests, formatting, Clippy, release build, and isolated Wayland startup/reload and panel-motion tests. Native CI includes the startup regression.

Panel appearance now applies to the whole panel, with seven styles: Floating, Capsules, Notch, Edge to edge, Fused islands, Adaptive and Morph.
- Share composition, geometry, and motion through the renderer-independent `ferese-panel` crate, including native materials, input regions, and Settings previews.
- Add the Morph hub with media, calendar, notifications, controls, workspace previews, hover feedback, and attached mode. Keep recording and low-battery status visible and respect window clearance.
- Cache workspace preview geometry, draw thumbnails directly, centralize Morph transitions, and keep rendering settings local to each shell instance.
- Put Record Screen in the Morph header and show the display control only when an external monitor is connected. Update panel documentation, the desktop screenshot, and native check style names.
Local validation included 660 compositor tests, 191 shell tests, isolated preview-cache checks, GPU Morph captures at 1×/1.25×/1.5×, formatting, and Clippy with warnings denied. The final header change passed all 23 Morph tests. Release workflow jobs are skipped for this PR.
The top-bar recorder previously saved a full monitor without sound. It now lets you select a region within one monitor and choose system audio, microphone audio, or both. Audio remains off by default, and recordings with audio are saved as VP8/Opus WebM files. The portal still controls screen access and cancellation; stopping from the bar or ending the video stream finishes the recording, including its audio tracks.
Region selection accounts for fractional display scales and negative monitor coordinates. The picker keeps its action buttons visible while the display list and recording options scroll together. The picker, dependency lists, and recording documentation now explain the available choices and the slurp and audio requirements.
Routine pushes and pull requests no longer start CI runners. Workspace checks and website deployment are manual, while release checks run when requested manually, through a version tag, or through a PR labeled `release`. Publishing still requires a pushed version tag. This also fixes release asset checksums by normalizing RPM filenames before generating the checksum file.
Validated locally with a release build, portal and shell recorder tests, formatting, Clippy, actionlint, packaging tests, and mocked publishing checks. Media tests encoded and decoded cropped video with audio, checked that video termination finishes live audio, and exercised system, microphone, and combined capture against a private PipeWire-Pulse server. Mixed recordings must contain both fixture frequencies, with negative controls for either missing source. The picker was also checked on 800 × 600 and 800 × 400 desktops and opened in a live nested window.
