Simon Ser announced the release of Sway 1.11 on Sunday as the newest feature update to this popular i3-inspired Wayland compositor from which the wlroots library was originally born.

Sway 1.11 is rebased against the wlroots 0.19 Wayland compositor library release and all the features it brought. The wlroots 0.19 release brought the color-manager-v1 protocol support for HDR10 and numerous other extensions. Plus explicit synchronization support, multi-GPU support for display-only devices, direct scan-out in backends now works with cropping and scaling buffers, and scene-graph improvements.

The Sway 1.11 release also includes support for linux-drm-syncobj-v1 for explicit synchronization, alpha-modifier-v1 support, image-copy-capture-v1 and image-capture-source-v1 for batter Wayland screen capturing, data-control-v1 as another protocol for clipboard managers, and improved output configuration.

Sway 1.11 also now supports pointer keys and they an be found in keymaps to trigger pointer events. Plus security-context-v1 metadata is now exposed via the Sway IPC.
