8.1.0 - A bunch of small improvements

Changes

• Adding swallow command
• Fixing systray hiding for togglebar
• Copying screenshots to clipboard
• Adding extra color setting for system tray (moonwm.trayBg)
• Deprecating moonwm-utils launch-minimal
• Adding (pmenu)[https://github.com/phillbush/pmenu] as binding for middle click on desktop
  • It will show your favorites (same as middle click on menu)
  • pmenu will not be added as a dependency for now; if you want to use it just install it
• Improving positioning of floating windows when adding monitors
• Removing handling for _KDE_NET_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERRIDE

8.0.0 - Pademelon integration

With this release MoonWM drops support for its desktop-managing scripts and instead relies on Pademelon for such features. Furthermore the wmcommons submodule was merged back into the project.

Changes

• Merging wmcommons back into the project
• Dropping the following functions of moonwm-utils:
  • brightness, launch, monitors screenlayouts, screenstup, setup-keyboard, setwallpaper, start, volume
• Integrating pademelon-tools for volume, backlight and wallpaper
• Adding keybindings:
  • Increase and decrease nmaster (MOD + a / MOD + x)
• Removing keybindings:
  • Screen locking
• Dropping support for setxkbmap options and custom modmap
• Redoing the main menu
• Adding options for insets to make space for external bars etc
• Launching status only when MOONWM_LAUNCH_STATUS is specified (temporary workaround)
• Removing xdg-xmenu
• Adding closeswallowed option

7.3.0

Changes

• Initial compatibility with pademelon
• Improved resource management with lockscreen image generating
• Borderwidth now always respects smartgaps
• Pipewire for a more efficient implementation of playing sounds
• Fixed behavior for _NET_WM_DESKTOP

WARNING: From version 8.0.0 on the scripts making MoonWM a complete desktop experience are going to get stripped drastically or removed entirely. This functionality will instead get managed by pademelon. The goal is to let MoonWM be just a WM and improve the desktop experience over all.
