Sway 1.10-rc1 Adds GPU Reset Recovery, New Wayland Protocols


Open-source developer Simon Ser has released Sway 1.10-rc1 as the newest feature release to this i3-inspired Wayland compositor

The Sway 1.10 series is built atop the wlroots 0.18 library that in turn delivers many new Wayland features for compositors. Sway 1.10-rc1 also features a rewrite of its renderer to make use of the wlroots scene graph API for better performance. New Wayland protocols supported by Sway 1.10-rc1 include tearing-control-v1 for opt-in tearing page-flips, ext-transient-seat-v1 for remoting apps, ext-foreign-toplevel-list-v1 for top-level information querying, and xdg-shell v5.
