Releases · swaywm/sway · GitHub

Sway 1.5 contains 284 changes from 78 contributors. This release introduces a lot of new features, but also contains numerous bug fixes.

The recommended wlroots version to use with this release is 0.11.0.

New features

• Headless outputs can now be created dynamically via the create_output
  command, and can be used with WayVNC
• Input method editors (IME) are now supported via the input-method and
  text-input protocols
• Adaptive synchronization (aka. variable refresh rate, VRR) can be enabled
  to reduce stuttering in games
• Support for the viewporter protocol, allowing older X11 games to work
  better and improve performance
• Allow virtualization and remote desktop software to inhibit keyboard
  shortcuts
• Support for the wlr-foreign-toplevel-management protocol, allowing
  custom docks and window switchers
