New
lowpaper updateinstalls the latest release over the script and restarts a running wallpaper with it.lowpaper version.- Monitor hotplug: adding, removing or resizing a monitor lays the wallpaper out again by itself, on X11 (RandR, through
xev) and on Wayland. - mpv's warnings and errors go to a log per monitor;
lowpaper statusnames it when a player has stopped.
Fixed
- A wrong
-oname no longer stops the running wallpaper or overwrites the saved settings. - The Wayland helper is rebuilt when its source changes, instead of an old build being reused.
- The Wayland helper also builds against libmpv 1, for older distributions.
- When neither Xv nor OpenGL works, X11 falls back to mpv's plain x11 output instead of showing nothing.
- Two lay-outs could run at once after a monitor change and leave a stray watcher behind.
Project
- CI runs shellcheck and smoke tests on headless Sway and a dummy Xorg server, including monitor hotplug.
