After 14 months of development, the release of the Sway 1.9 composite manager has been published, built using the Wayland protocol and fully compatible with the i3 tiling window manager and the i3bar panel. The project code is written in C and is distributed under the MIT license. The project aims for use in Linux and FreeBSD. <\/p>\n

Compatibility with i3 is provided at the level of commands, configuration files, and IPC, allowing Sway to be used as a transparent replacement for i3, utilizing Wayland instead of X11. Sway allows windows to be organized on the screen logically rather than spatially. Windows are arranged in a grid that makes optimal use of screen space and allows for quick manipulation of windows using only the keyboard. <\/p>\n

To create a complete user environment, the following components are offered: swayidle (background process implementing the KDE idle protocol), swaylock (screen locker), mako (notification manager), grim (screenshot creation), slurp (screen area selection), wf-recorder (video capture), waybar (application bar), virtboard (on-screen keyboard), wl-clipboard (clipboard management), wallutils (desktop wallpaper management). <\/p>\n

Sway evolves as a modular project built on top of the wlroots library, which abstracts all basic primitives for organizing the operation of the compositing manager. Wlroots includes backends for abstracting access to the screen, input devices, rendering without direct access to OpenGL, interaction with KMS\/DRM, libinput, Wayland, and X11 (providing a layer to run X11 applications on Xwayland). In addition to Sway, the wlroots library is actively used in other projects, including Librem5 and Cage. In addition to C\/C++, bindings have been developed for Scheme, Common Lisp, Go, Haskell, OCaml, Python, and Rust. <\/p>\n
