  • Home folders now follow the system language. If your interface is in
    Russian, ~/Downloads becomes ~/Загрузки, ~/Pictures → ~/Изображения,
    and so on for all six standard folders — including ~/Screenshots, which
    the screenshot tool (Super+Shift+S) now resolves dynamically instead of
    hardcoding. The rename happens at the next login after the update and is
    one-time: folders you moved are left alone. To opt out:

    w-conf userdirs LOCALIZE=no

    If you run a non-Russian locale this changes nothing for you.

  • OpenRGB devices re-colour after suspend. Keyboards, mice and other
    OpenRGB-supported lighting used to go back to their hardware default after
    waking the machine and never caught up until the next theme switch. A new
    system-sleep hook (w-rgb) re-applies the theme's RGB palette on resume.

  • w-fingerprint now controls the fingerprint scanner on the lock screen.
    Two modes: native (the default, unchanged behaviour — fprintd authenticates
    through PAM) and wake (the scanner stays armed during hyprlock, so
    touching it unlocks the screen without reaching the keyboard). Switch with:

    w-fingerprint lock-sensor wake

  • Toolchain state hygiene: Go builds no longer litter ~/go.
    GOPATH, GOMODCACHE, GOCACHE and GOBIN are now routed into
    ~/.local/ and ~/.cache/ — outside @home snapshots — at every login,
    across TTY, SSH and the graphical session. The subvolume is carved
    automatically; a pre-existing ~/go is left untouched (safe to delete by
    hand). Future tools (cargo, gradle, npm…) will follow the same pattern.

  • w-pack deploy_managed now preserves file modes. A managed file with
    an executable bit (e.g. the graphics pack's mcpinkscape hook) kept it
    in the bundle tree but arrived on the machine as 0644. It now keeps the
    mode the file has in the pack — matching how apply_rootfs and the
    directory branch (rsync -a) have always worked.

  • w-sync re-applies packs when the pack tooling itself changes.
    Previously only changes under scripts/packs/ triggered w-pack refresh;
    a fix to w-pack or its deploy SDK now does too.

  • Hyprlock: fingerprint-aware auth config shipped. A new
    ~/.config/hypr/hyprlock-auth.conf template enables w-fingerprint lock-sensor wake to work out of the box on fresh installs. If you use
    w-reset hyprlock (e.g. after the v0.16.0 lock-screen rework), the auth
    fragment is included automatically.
