v2.0.0

🚀 face-unlock v2.0.0

Welcome to face-unlock v2.0.0! plasma-face-unlock has a new name, because it no longer needs Plasma: it now works on GNOME, Hyprland and Niri too.

🚨 Breaking changes

• plasma-face-unlock is now called face-unlock, and so is the command. Your faces and settings move over on their own.
• On Arch, yay -S face-unlock replaces the old package.
• On Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu the repository moved too. Remove the old plasma-face-unlock repository file and add the new one from the install steps.

Highlights

• Works on GNOME, Hyprland and Niri
• Unlock hyprlock, swaylock, gtklock and waylock with your face
• A lock screen of its own, with the bubble and your wallpaper
• 12 new languages
• A warning when no polkit agent runs

☕ Support face-unlock

If face-unlock is useful to you, you can buy me a coffee. It keeps these tools going. Found a bug or have an idea? Tell me in the issues.
