Louvre v2.18.0-1

New Experimental Protocols

• lvr-invisible-region: Allows clients to define invisible regions within their surfaces, enabling the compositor to skip rendering invisible pixels. See LSurface::invisibleRegion().
• lvr-svg-path: Provides an efficient way for clients to share paths with the compositor for masking or other purposes.
• lvr-background-blur: Allows clients to request background blurring for surfaces, with optional clipping masks. See the LBackgroundBlur class - thanks to @Fox2Code for contributing ideas and @renhiyama for testing and feedback.

Blur example using Louvre and Kay, with a client made using Marco.

API Changes

• New LBackgroundBlur class to handle surface blur effects.
• New LRRect class for defining rounded rectangles.
• Added LCompositor::eventLoop() for quick access to the main wl_event_loop.
• LCompositor::addFdListener() and LCompositor::removeFdListener() are now deprecated, wl_event_loop_add_fd should be used instead.
• Added LPointerScrollEvent::LegacyWheel source type for handling older and deprecated Libinput Wheel events.
• LPointerScrollEvent now includes hasX() and hasY() to indicate if values are provided for each axis.
• LPointerScrollEvent::axes120() has been replaced by discreteAxes().

Internal Changes

• Additional event queues have been removed, only the main wl_display event queue is now used.

Bug Fixes

• Event queues are no longer disabled while the session is inactive. This caused queue overflows and froze the compositor when resuming the session - thanks @jgroboredo and @LeKinaSa for reporting and testing.
• Corrected wrong dispatching of discrete scroll events — thanks @jgroboredo and @LeKinaSa for reporting and testing.
• Fixed a bug in the default LPointer::pointerButtonEvent() implementation that prevented transient toplevels from gaining keyboard focus.

Dependencies

• Updated the SRM dependency to version 0.12.1, which fixes issues related to hotplugging and screen flashing during session switching.

Louvre v2.16.3-1

Louvre (2.16.3-1)

Bug Fixes

• wlr-screencopy: Remove unnecessary check that was preventing the usage of multi-planar buffers.

Thanks @LeKinaSa and @jgroboredo for all your help throughout this never-ending journey! 🤣

Louvre v2.16.2-1

Louvre (2.16.2-1)

Default Implementation Changes

• LToplevelRole::startMoveRequest() and LToplevelRole::startResizeRequest() now ignore requests triggered by pointer button events if the button isn't currently pressed.

Minor API Changes

• Renamed LPointer::pressedKeys() to pressedButtons().

Bug Fixes

• Removed the assumption that toplevels will be unmapped after sending a close() event.
• louvre-views: Fixed a bug causing fullscreen animations to show black on some clients.
• louvre-views: Display fadeout animation of toplevels not only during the first unmap.

Louvre v2.16.1-1

Louvre (2.16.1-1)

Louvre v2.16.0-1

Louvre (2.16.0-1)

API Additions

• LOutput::oversamplingTexture(): Retrieves the intermediate texture used when a fractional scale is applied and oversampling is enabled.
• LPointer::focusChanged(): Triggered whenever the currently focused surface changes.

Minor API Changes

• Removed const keywords from LNinePatchView::subViews() to enable modification of subviews.
• Removed the center rect from LNinePatchView::minSize() to allow setting smaller sizes.

Bug Fixes

• Prevented unnecessary LKeyboard::focusChanged() calls when no actual change occurred.

Thanks again @LeKinaSa and @jgroboredo for testing it!
