Nehir 0.6.0-rc.11

Changes

• Surface global-hotkey conflicts in the Diagnostics hub and sidebar badge, and add a curated Command Palette advisory that appears only when the overlapping macOS symbolic shortcut is currently enabled (fixes #48, follow-up to #97). Diagnostic rows stay in sync when hotkey bindings or app activation change; remediation is to reassign the conflicting Nehir hotkey or clear the overlapping macOS shortcut. Thanks @syepes.

Nehir 0.6.0-rc.10

Changes

• Preserve managed windows hidden on inactive native Spaces during full rescans

• Prevent stale async session patches from overwriting newer live selection, and clear stale cross-workspace pending managed focus when a token is reassigned. Thanks @BarutSRB.

• Focus Previous Window (Cmd-Option-Tab) now returns to the globally most-recently-focused window even when it lives on a different workspace or monitor, instead of only searching the current workspace. Fixes #92. Thanks @yougotwill.

Nehir 0.6.0-rc.9

Changes

• Surface global-hotkey conflicts in the Diagnostics hub and sidebar badge, and add a curated advisory for the Command Palette default chord (Option+Command+Space) which can co-fire with a macOS system shortcut even when Carbon registration succeeds (fixes #48). Diagnostic rows are advisory only; remediation is to reassign the conflicting Nehir hotkey or clear the overlapping macOS shortcut. Thanks @syepes.

Nehir 0.6.0-rc.8

Changes

• Track frameless qutebrowser windows with malformed fullscreen-button AX facts, and render their focused border without treating the top-level AXDialog as a modal surface. Thanks @stefanpinterBE.

Nehir 0.6.0-rc.7

Changes

• Keep the workspace bar and managed windows below an auto-hidden menu bar by anchoring to an explicit menu-bar inset instead of the auto-hide-sensitive visible frame (#68). On multi-monitor setups the explicit inset now applies on secondary displays too, keeping them clear of the reveal region even when no menu bar is drawn there. Thanks @Alan-TheGentleman.

Nehir 0.6.0-rc.6

Changes

• Fix focus-follows-mouse being suppressed by external click-through border/overlay utilities (e.g. the standalone Borders app) instead of resolving to the managed tile beneath (#64). Thanks @stefanpinterBE.

Nehir 0.6.0-rc.5

Changes

• Enforce SwiftLint and SwiftFormat on push and pull request CI, with both tools delivered via pinned mise versions.

• Surface license attribution across About, nehirctl, and source headers

  • About tab now shows GPL-2.0-only, OmniWM lineage, and links to LICENSE and
    NOTICE.md.
  • nehirctl gains license/about/legal/attribution commands plus
    license/attribution lines in --help.
  • Source files carry generated SPDX headers: upstream-derived files keep the
    BarutSRB copyright alongside Nehir contributors; nehir-original files carry
    Nehir only. NOTICE.md documents the policy.
  • Current project/source links point to the apphane-dev Nehir repository while
    preserving upstream OmniWM and historical fork links.

Nehir 0.6.0-rc.4

Changes

• Share pure Niri layout decisions between the onboarding move demo and runtime layout engine. This extracts a platform-free PureLayout reducer, drives the interactive demo through it, routes production Niri focus and focused-window move decisions through the same reducer, and adds bridge assertions so runtime tree mutations stay aligned with the pure model.

Nehir 0.6.0-rc.3

Changes

• Internal: characterize refused-frame resize-minimum learner behavior: cover the 32pt cell-quantization overshoot detector and the verificationMismatch learner loop so genuine refusals pin inferred minimums while grid-snapping overshoots are absorbed (no behavior change).

• Prevent focus-follows-mouse-tagged AX focus confirmations from falling through to cursor warp when the generic pointer suppression is unavailable or expires.

• Detect macOS Displays have separate Spaces, clarify supported vertical/diagonal display arrangements, and add a Mouse Warp enable toggle with disabled-state guidance.

• Use raw multitouch input for trackpad workspace gestures

  Switch trackpad workspace gestures to the raw MultitouchSupport
  contact-frame path so swipes are no longer eaten by the focused app,
  and preserve the unsnapped viewport offset after a snap-bypassed
  (modifier-held) gesture so subsequent gestures and layout refreshes
  start from where the user left the viewport instead of snapping it
  back to a visibility-corrected column edge.

• Internal: narrow WMController's layout and focus surface behind LayoutCoordinator and FocusCoordinator protocols, funnel engine writes through setNiriEngine(_:), so command and event handlers no longer reach into the live niriEngine or the concrete NiriLayoutHandler.

Nehir 0.6.0-rc.2

Changes

• Tolerate a single transient rescan miss before removing a window, so brief AX or Space enumeration gaps no longer drop tracked windows.

• Preserve manual monitor orientation overrides across display updates and report the effective orientation over IPC instead of the auto-detected value.

• Stop re-layout thrash after a window rejects a frame write, so apps that snap back to a minimum size no longer drive a relayout loop.

• Coalesce back-to-back same-kind refreshes instead of cancelling the in-flight one, so bursty relayouts no longer thrash or starve.

• Reveal moved windows in target workspace viewports

• Fix workspace assignment reveal verification and lone-window width leakage
