Release Notes — AutoTile v18.0

AutoTile v18.0 — First Unified Release 🎉

AutoTile v18.0 is the first independent release, forked from the excellent
Tiling Shell v17.3 and heavily
inspired by Omarchy and Hyprland.
It runs on GNOME Shell 42–50, X11 & Wayland, multi-monitor with mixed
scaling factors.

AutoTile uses its own UUID (autotile@kylelee.github.io) and settings
schema — it can be installed alongside Tiling Shell. If you're migrating
from Tiling Shell, reconfigure your settings once after installing.

✨ Highlights

Auto-tiling core

  • Insert after focused window — when the focused window is tiled, a new
    window opens on the tile right after it; tiled windows behind it shift
    forward along the global top-to-bottom / left-to-right order, cascading
    across monitors.
  • Workspace overflow tiling — when every monitor on the current workspace
    is full, new windows auto-tile to the first free tile on a later workspace
    (creating one first when dynamic workspaces are enabled).
    (new preference, on by default)
  • Auto-refill of freed tiles — closing or moving away a tiled window
    refills the gap: same-workspace windows shift forward, and remaining gaps
    pull windows back from workspaces to the right, so every workspace stays
    continuously filled from the top-left. (new preference, on by default)
  • Layout enforcement while dragging — with refill enabled, dragging can
    no longer un-tile a window: stray drops snap back into the layout.
  • Focus on close — when a tiled window closes, keyboard focus moves to
    the window that took its tile.

Keyboard tiling

  • Swap: moving a window onto an occupied tile swaps the two windows,
    even across monitors.
  • Smart cross-monitor move: prefers free tiles, scans monitors in row
    order by nearest-center distance; SUPER+UP prefers a tile on the monitor
    above over maximizing.
  • Cross-workspace moves: at the last monitor's edge, windows move to the
    adjacent workspace (auto-created with dynamic workspaces).
  • Directional focus穿透 workspaces: directional focus falls through to
    windows on the adjacent workspace at the screen edge.

Robustness & i18n

  • Layout import validation & self-healing: invalid layout JSON is
    rejected with a clear reason; corrupted layouts no longer crash the
    extension — the last tile and layout are always protected.
  • Rebuilt Chinese translations: zh_Simplified / zh_Traditional
    directories with runtime catalog resolution (zh_CN/zh_SG → Simplified,
    zh_TW/zh_HK → Traditional).
  • Ghost-window immunity: windows being destroyed by the compositor are
    never tiled.
  • Numerous fixes over the fork baseline: tiling geometry drift, signal
    leaks, settings-import data loss (auto-restore from backup), D-Bus export
    rollback, Math.clamp crash, and more — see
    CHANGELOG.md for the full list.

⚠️ Default changes

  • Focus-navigation keybindings now default to <Alt>+arrows and
    <Alt>Page_Down/Page_Up.
  • The default layout set now ships 5 layouts, with a 50/50 two-column
    layout first.

AutoTile v18.0 — 首个统一版本 🎉

AutoTile v18.0 是从优秀的 Tiling Shell
v17.3 fork 而来的首个独立发布版本，深受 Omarchy 与
Hyprland 启发。支持 GNOME Shell 42–50、X11 与
Wayland、不同缩放比例的多显示器。

AutoTile 使用独立 UUID（autotile@kylelee.github.io）与独立设置 schema，
可与 Tiling Shell 共存安装；从 Tiling Shell 迁移需重新配置一次设置。

✨ 亮点

自动平铺核心

  • 焦点后插入：焦点窗口已平铺时，新窗口插入到它之后的空位，其后的窗口沿
    全局自上而下、自左而右顺序链式前移，跨显示器级联。
  • 工作区溢出平铺：当前工作区所有显示器满员时，新窗口自动平铺到后续
    工作区的首个空位（动态工作区开启时可先创建新工作区）。（新设置，默认开启）
  • 空位自动回填：平铺窗口关闭或移走后，同工作区窗口链式前移补位，缺口再
    从右侧工作区拉回窗口填补，每个工作区始终自左上角连续填满。（新设置，默认开启）
  • 拖拽布局锁定：回填开启时，拖拽无法让窗口脱离平铺，散乱落点自动吸回布局。
  • 关窗聚焦：平铺窗口关闭后，键盘焦点自动落到补上该位置的窗口。

键盘平铺

  • 占位交换：移动窗口到已占用 tile 时自动交换两个窗口位置，支持跨显示器。
  • 跨显示器智能移动：优先落位空闲 tile；SUPER+UP 在上方显示器有空位时
    优先进 tile 而非最大化。
  • 跨工作区移动：窗口移到最末显示器边缘时进入相邻工作区（可自动创建）。
  • 方向焦点穿透：方向焦点切换在工作区边缘落到相邻工作区的窗口。

稳定性与本地化

  • 布局导入校验与自愈：非法布局 JSON 会被拒绝并给出明确原因；损坏的布局
    不再导致崩溃，最后一个 tile 与布局始终受保护。
  • 中文翻译重构：zh_Simplified / zh_Traditional 目录 + 运行时目录解析
    （zh_CN/zh_SG → 简体，zh_TW/zh_HK → 繁体）。
  • 幽灵窗免疫：正在被销毁的窗口不会被误贴砖。
  • 相对 fork 基线的大量修复：贴砖几何漂移、信号泄漏、设置导入数据丢失
    （自动从备份恢复）、D-Bus 失败回滚、Math.clamp 崩溃等——完整清单见
    CHANGELOG.md。

⚠️ 默认值变更

  • 焦点导航快捷键默认改为 <Alt>+方向键 与 <Alt>Page_Down/Page_Up。
  • 默认布局集内置 5 个布局，首选 50/50 双栏布局。

🙏 Thanks to Domenico Ferraro and the original
Tiling Shell project, the Omarchy contributors, and Hyprland.
