wlroots 0.16 update announcement
by Aleksei Bavshin
Greetings,
Sometime within the next week, I'll be updating wlroots in rawhide to
0.16.0[1] and sway to the latest release candidate. As usual, the update
contains API/ABI breaking changes and soname will be bumped to
libwlroots.so.11. wlroots0.15 compatibility package will be introduced
in the same side-tag.
No breakages are expected and no action is required from the maintainers
of dependent packages.
I'll send another notice with a side-tag id to unblock the updates that
already require 0.16 (currently only labwc) when it's ready.
***
I'm also planning to update wlroots in f37 once 0.16.1 is available.
There are a plenty of bug fixes and some important security features
(ext-session-lock-v1) that, I believe, should not require waiting
another 6 months for f38.
Sway will likely not be included in the initial f37 update, but may
follow later when it gets sufficient testing.

swayidle adjustments given deprecation of logind integration
by Jonathan Bowman
Reviewing https://gitlab.com/fedora/sigs/sway/sway-config-fedora/-/blob/fedora/sway... (and my own swayidle config, for that matter)
And also noting swayidle's plans to drop logind integration (so before-sleep, after-resume, lock, unlock, and idlehint will eventually go away): https://github.com/swaywm/swayidle/issues/117
Is there consideration of changing the swayidle.conf, removing logind-specific flags? Depending on preferences regarding systemd integration, that may necessitate adding systemd-lock-handler to the mix: https://git.sr.ht/~whynothugo/systemd-lock-handler
Depending on desired direction, I am more than happy to experiment and submit a PR, whenever the timing seems right.

Thank you for your contributions; happy to help
by Jonathan Bowman
Greetings, I first wanted to say thank you for making sway such a blissful experience on Fedora!
Also, if you happen to think of ways a newcomer can help out, feel free to let me know. I'd love to give back.
I like editing config files, trying out new tools, and I am pretty good with Python and shell scripting. I use foot, waybar, fuzzel, grim, slurp, clipman, and friends.
Happy December,
Jonathan Bowman
