version 0.52 breaks config despite no relevant breaking changes

Hi, I just updated to v0.52 and get these config errors now:

Config error in file /nix/store/5jrrwylfz1hgnc2gb39f3k4gdjzgjpf5-hm_hyprhyprland.conf at line 125: invalid field blur: missing a value

i can see windowrulev2 was depracated in v0.48, but it doesnt say anywhere its been removed yet, which would be a breaking change. also the depracation never generated any warnings so i was not aware of the depracation until now.
With the layerrules i have no clue what the issue could be, other than "ignorezero" being dropped, which also isnt mentioned anywhere. Had to compare different versions of the wiki to realise ignorezero is no long there.

After renaming windowrulev2 to windowrule i get more issues, see below, so "windowrule now behaves like windowrulev2" doesnt seem accurate.

I would greatly appreciate some help with fixing my config:

      # Layer rules
      layerrule = [
        "blur, waybar" # Blur waybar
        "ignorezero, waybar"
        "ignorealpha 0.5, waybar"
        "noanim, hyprpicker" # fix screenshot border visible
        "noanim, selection" # fix screenshot border visible
      ];

      # Window rules
      windowrule = [
        # Nice transparency for some apps (unless in fullscreen)
        "opacity 0.9,fullscreen:0,class:^(cursor)$"
        "opacity 0.9,fullscreen:0,class:^(firefox)$"
        "opacity 0.9,fullscreen:0,class:^(GitKraken)$"
        "opacity 0.9,fullscreen:0,class:^(obsidian)$"

        # Ensure hyprland tearing on games
        "immediate,class:^(steam_app)$"

        # Keep Rofi focused
        "stayfocused, class:^(Rofi)$"
      ];

I must also question though, whats the deal with just dropping config options and changing config syntax without warning?

Please follow this GitHub issue for when breaking changes are made to master.

This specific change hasn't made it into a release yet, so I'm assuming you're using the latest git from the flake instead.

Here's my set of updated syntax window rules so you can have a point of reference if and when you update them

I see. thank you!

[thefeli73]

How do i make it not follow the latest commit? currently i have this:

hyprland.url = "github:hyprwm/hyprland";

https://git.schulze.network/schulze/nix-config/src/branch/master/flake.nix

[fxzzi]

Either remove this input and use the hyprland packages which are already in nixpkgs, or

hyprland.url = "github:hyprwm/hyprland/v0.52.1-b";

Imo if you're sticking to release tags there's no point in doing the latter option, just change all instances of inputs.hyprland.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system} directly to pkgs

you are not on 0.52 thats the reason
