Nehir 0.4.0

Breaking changes

• Remove the Enable Animations setting and always keep Nehir-authored motion enabled. Niri-style scrolling, resizing, and transition motion are part of the interaction model rather than decorative effects; disabling them made the app difficult to use. Also skip redundant workspace-transition moves for windows already parked offscreen.

Changes

• Sign and notarize Nehir.app with Developer ID in CI

• Harden the release workflow so signed and notarized release retries derive versions from stable tags without committing Info.plist bumps.

• Added runtime diagnostics for visible WindowServer windows that are not tracked by Nehir.

• Fix focused-window commands targeting tiled windows behind focused floating windows. Fixes #12. Thanks @sebb3.

• Allow prerelease releases to auto-select the next rc suffix when none is provided

• Skip Apple notarization for prerelease release candidates

• Made every hotkey-assignable command available consistently in hotkey settings, the command palette, IPC/CLI, and TOML config. Fixed #14. Thanks @VyLowry7337.

• Fix column width preset cycling wrapping at both ends. Thanks @stefanpinterBE.

• Respect app-enforced resize minimums during column resize animations

• Preserve column placement when restoring native fullscreen windows

• Add mise tasks for clean development startup and release download stats

• Fix multiple mouse focus regressions when moveMouseToFocusedWindow is enabled:

  • Suppress cursor warp on pointer-initiated focus, workspace bar clicks, tab clicks, and trackpad gestures.
  • Prevent focusFollowsMouse from activating tiled columns while a floating window is active above the Niri layout, or behind unmanaged windows during hover, click, or drag interactions.
  • Restore focusFollowsMouse after scroll animation and owned window close.
  • When focusFollowsMouse is enabled, keep swipe gesture end from committing focus to the snapped column; final focus follows the pointer instead.
  • Warp the cursor to the target monitor center when switching to an empty workspace.

  Fixes #21. Thanks @charmbyte.

• Fix command palette showing title bar outline and tab colors not adapting to light theme

Notes

Nehir is distributed as a signed and notarized app. If macOS still shows a Gatekeeper warning, right-click the app and choose Open.

Nehir requires Accessibility permission to manage windows.
