Hyprland 0.42 Wayland Compositor Ditches Wlroots, Adds Explicit Sync Support


been released as the newest feature release to this dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that remains "100% independent" and "doesn't sacrifice on its looks." Hyprland had been doing some heavy lifting via the Wlroots library but now in version 0.42 that dependency is eliminated. Hyprland 0.42 does away with its Wlroots dependency but now adds a dependency on Aquamarine, a light rendering backend library being developed by the project.
