LavaUI v1.4.0

52 commits since v1.3.0.

New apps

• LavaPass, a KeePass vault manager: KDBX vaults, attachments, a
  scrollable Notes editor, recent vaults on the start page and in a menu.

Desktop

• The panel replaces nm-applet and blueman: a native network applet and
  NetworkManager secret agent (VPN plugins' own dialogs included), and a
  Bluetooth applet with a pairing agent — battery levels, search while
  "Add a device" is open, pairing that trusts and connects.
• The sound window switches outputs and inputs and sets per-app volume.
• The calendar opens a year view from the month title, with ISO weeks.
• The player window's transport buttons are drawn, not glyphs.
• With nothing focused the bar offers Desktop, Go, Workspaces and Help
  (Keyboard Shortcuts) instead of the Lava menu alone.
• No flash of the fallback menu while an app's own menu loads.
• Glass on menus and every popup: frosted, refracted, with a lit rim.
• LavaLauncher has a new style.

Settings

• Network: link details, saved profiles, IPv4 and DNS, VPN import.
• Bluetooth: this computer's name and visibility; paired devices renamed,
  trusted, blocked or forgotten; search and pair.
• Mouse & Touchpad: speed, acceleration, natural scrolling, tap to click,
  scroll and click method, ignore while typing, and smooth scrolling.
  Applied by the compositor per libinput device, from [mouse]/[touchpad].
• LavaSettings --section <name> opens a page.

LavaExplorer

• FTP, FTPS and SFTP servers, with New Folder, Rename and Delete on them.
• Profiles, favourites, and tabs that persist across launches.
• Device mounting through UDisks, default applications honoured, icons
  for folders, files, places and the toolbar.
• One explorer per session: LavaExplorer <path> opens a tab in the
  running one instead of a second window.

Compositor

• Client frames are drawn once per output frame rather than on arrival,
  and paced frames keep what a presented frame committed.
• Frost: copied without blocking the loop, recaptured only where something
  changed, rendered only over the plates' rectangle.
• A hover fade no longer freezes under a presenting client.
• lavactl workspace [n] and lavactl desktop.

LavaUI

• .glassEffect() (refraction, a lit rim, optional frost) and
  .backdropBlur frosting the desktop from any view.
• Tooltips, with a placement.
• Popups can hang off popups.
• A text field slides its row to keep the caret in view.
• A Text's box is its glyphs: the implicit text margin is gone, so a
  cramped layout may need explicit padding.
• Three ways a long-lived window grew its heap forever are fixed.
• Chevron and TransportMark are public.

Compatibility

• New IDL calls: SetBackdropGlassRegions, SetBackdropFrost,
  GetPointer, SetPointer, SwitchWorkspace, ToggleShowDesktop, and a
  field added to a message. Method indices are positional: rebuild clients
  and compositor together.
• New dependencies: libnm, libssh2, libsecret, libcurl, udisks2, zlib,
  perl-file-mimeinfo on Arch (Debian and Arch lists updated); libinput is
  optional for the compositor.

LavaUI v1.3.0

LavaUI v1.3.0

43 commits since v1.2.0.

New apps

• LavaPlayer, a video player on libmpv. mpv renders into dma-bufs on the
  compositor's GPU through an EGL bridge, sampled with no CPU copy
  (software frames where that path will not come up). Keyframe seeks while
  dragging, exact on release; a floating fullscreen bar that hides with the
  pointer; subtitle and audio track buttons; external subtitle files.
• LavaPDF, a PDF reader over poppler. Tiles at the exact zoom, uploaded
  through the new pixel arena; select across pages, copy, find; the outline
  in a sidebar; links (pages, and http/https/mailto only); password-locked
  documents. Resizing keeps a fit-width page still and no longer piles up
  tiles at every size it passed through.
• lava-index, a per-user file index daemon (SQLite FTS5, inotify, mount
  aware, systemd user unit), and LavaFind, file search over it, frosted
  over the desktop. Settings gains a Search page for its folders (Mod+S);
  LavaView and LavaExplorer report opened files to it.

Desktop

• The panel adds a Window menu to every focused window's global menu:
  Always on Top, Center on Screen, Close (also lavactl pin|center|close).
• Apps' first menu names the app rather than "Lava...".
• Global menu hears layout updates, and the window stays focused under its
  menu.
• A hardware cursor on an NVIDIA-wired output of a hybrid laptop, and no
  software cursor blurred into frost or CaptureScreen pictures.
• Canvas waits for the compositor's reads before redrawing a shared buffer
• Canvas waits for the compositor's reads before redrawing a shared buffer
  (RADV ignored the implicit fences), and writes the blur slot before
  recording rather than between segments.

LavaUI

• .onHover for a view and everything in it; CursorShape.hidden.
• Canvas(onPointerMove:): the cursor can depend on where the pointer is.
• Wheel events carry held modifiers; KeyCode.f1...f12.
• FileDialog.openFolder.
• FocusManager gives focus back when the focused node leaves the tree.
• What the first frame raises is kept; FrameTasks run after a frame, not
  after a frame held for its consumer.

Compatibility

• New IDL calls: SetAlwaysOnTop, CenterWindow, CloseWindow, the pixel
  arena (AttachPixelArena, UploadPixels, ...) and video buffers
  (GetVideoTarget, AttachVideoBuffer, ShowVideoBuffer, ...). Method
  indices are positional: rebuild clients and compositor together.
• New dependencies: poppler-cpp, poppler-glib and libmpv (Debian and Arch
  lists updated).

v1.2.0

LavaUI v1.2.0

24 commits since v1.1.1.

Desktop

• Lava surfaces are damaged per 32 px tile instead of whole, so a caret
  blink or a clock no longer recomposites the window. Frost refreshes only
  for paints behind a frosted window. LAVA_FULL_DAMAGE=1 for the old path.
• Idle clients stop polling: no 50 ms lease watch, heartbeats only from the
  supervised panel and dock, and GLib is pumped when the bus delivers
  rather than on a timer (panel ~48 -> 6 wakeups/s, LavaTerm ~58 -> 11).
• Images are decoded off the compositor's loop (Compositor.GetImages): a
  24-megapixel JPEG stalled every window for 609 ms, now 70-100 ms.
• The launcher and the switcher open maximized, which fixes the dimmed ring
  and rounded corner the launcher's drop shadow drew around it. New IDL
  call SetMaximized.
• LavaShot opens fullscreen instead of jumping to it, and labels keep the
  keyboard.
• LavaDebug is packaged as a desktop app, with an icon.
• The app list finds Flatpak desktop entries.

LavaExplorer

• Extract Here, Compress... (zip, tar.*, 7z; AES-256 zip passwords),
  locked zips, double-click to extract, Cancel. New LavaArchive target
  over libarchive.
• Folders refresh themselves through inotify.
• Listing from lstat: 100,000 files 50.9 s -> 255 ms.
• Thumbnails from the freedesktop cache, an icon view, and each folder's
  view remembered between launches.

LavaUI

• TextField(secure:).
• ScrollView(indicatorInset:) keeps the bar clear of a rounded
  container's corners.
• Centred and trailing wrapped labels align each row, not the block.

Compatibility

• LavaClient.open(fillScreen:) takes ScreenFill?: .maximized (was
  true) or .output.
• SetMaximized renumbers the IDL methods after it: rebuild clients and
  compositor together.
• liburing and OpenSSL are dropped from the dependency lists.
