Use `warp_on_toggle_special` for more fine control. +- `master:center_master_slaves_on_right` has been changed to `master:center_master_fallback` providing more options than just right. +- you'll now need to input your sudo password for sensitive hyprpm operations. Due to that change your repositories and enabled plugins will be reset. + + +## New stuff + +### Permission management + +Previously, (and in every other wayland compositor to this day) any app on your system +would be able to record and screenshot your screen without any permissions. This would be doable by directly +using the wayland protocols instead of the portal. + +No more. + +With permission management, both that, and other sensitive actions are now guarded by permissions, where you +can specify which apps can do what, and if you don't, you'll get an android / iOS / MacOS style popup asking you +for confirmation. + +**Permission management is disabled by default for now**, read up more about it on [the wiki](https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Permissions/). + +### New protocols + +Some new protocols are now supported in Hyprland, including `xdg-system-bell` and `xdg-toplevel-tag`. + +### Other new changes +Other new stuff include: +- keybinds can now be disabled per-device +- ANR's missed pings (delay) is now configurable +- you can now bind click and drag actions separately with your mouse +- groupbar got some new stuff: font weight, gaps, text offset, etc. +- a few new socket2 events: monitorremovedv2, minimized +- new windowrules: `nofollowmouse` and `noclosefor` +- and more + +## Fixes + +As usual, tons of fixes for crashes, bugs, etc. + +## The raw release + +if you are the type that enjoys reading, check the release out on [Github](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/releases/tag/v0.49.0). + +Cheers, +vax. +
