This is just a quick fixup of the leftwm crate, as in yesterdays release a tiny version number hickup snuck its way in :bug:

0.5.0

6 months ago

Happy Fall (or Spring to our Southern Hemisphere friends), Fellow Adventurers! This version bumps us to 0.5.0 with a multitude of changes and new features. Here are the highlights:

:hammer: Breaking Changes

  • The layouts (also workspace.layouts) in config.ron must be declared as Strings because they are no longer backed by an enum. (ie. layouts: ["CenterMain"] instead of layouts: [CenterMain])
  • The max_window_width was removed without direct replacement. The "always fill entire screen" behavior can now be addressed in layouts with the Reserve property.

:sparkles: Features

  • The new IncreaseMainSize / DecreaseMainSize, ToggleMaximized, IncreaseMainCount, DecreaseMainCount, and ToggleAbove commands
  • disable_cursor_reposition_on_resize flag introduced

:lady_beetle: Fixes and Improvements

  • Dialog windows correctly obey their spawned sized
  • Fixes to location of spawned windows
  • Fixes to full-screened windows
  • Maximized windows no longer hide the dock
  • NixOS flake corrections

:crab: Minimum Supported Rust Version

  • The currently supported MSRV is 1.70.0
