1.0-alpha.6
Pre-release
Sway 1.0-alpha.6 contains 390 changes from 18 contributors. Note that sway alpha releases are not considered complete, are missing many features, and will have many bugs. You are strongly encouraged to remain on sway 0.15.x if you are not prepared to deal with constant breakage and keep quiet about it. Please do not submit bug reports for this version of sway. Submit patches instead.
Most of this release is bug fixes and aligning sway ever closer with i3 - our compatibility checklist is 92% complete. We have only a few items left on our todo list for 1.0-beta.1: security features, full drawing tablet support, and pointer locking being the big ones. We also landed a large refactoring in this release, which may make things more unstable for a little while but in the long run will flush out more bugs than not.
The recommended wlroots version to use with this sway release is 842368e.
Package maintainers: please do not package this release.
