0.1.0 - First Experimental Beta Release

Release notes

Experimental. This is a pre-release. Expect breaking changes before 1.0.

Highlights

• Widgets: Rectangle, Text, TextInput, Row, Column, Stack, ScrollArea, Canvas and shapes
• Layout: sizing, padding, alignment and justify (SpaceBetween, SpaceAround, SpaceEvenly)
• Styling: fills, gradients, images, SVG icons, masks, rounded corners, shadows and custom shaders
• Rendering: on the GPU with vello and wgpu
• Input: keyboard, mouse buttons, scrolling and cursor shapes
• Animation: with easing and blending
• Multi-monitor: open, close and size windows per output on wlr-layer-shell
• Built-in services: audio, network, bluetooth, battery, brightness, CPU, memory, media, notifications, apps, lock screen and workspaces (niri, Hyprland, Sway)
• System access: D-Bus, IPC, file watching and process spawning

CLI

• amane startup creates a starter shell in ~/.config/amane, and --example creates a full example bar
• amane dev rebuilds and restarts the shell on every save
• amane compile builds the shell, and amane run builds it and then starts it
• amane ipc call calls a handler in the running shell

Requirements

• A compositor with wlr-layer-shell support (niri, Hyprland, Sway…). GNOME is not supported.
• A Rust toolchain with cargo on your PATH. Your config is compiled on your machine, and the build cache takes about 1 GB.
