@galister galister released this 08 Feb 18:09

This is a feature release that pairs with WiVRn release 26.2 as well as current Monado main.

While WayVR will work with older versions of Monado / WiVRn, some features like input blocking and overlay transparency will not function completely with older versions.

What's new since 26.1.2:

Highlights:

  • Added Chinese (simplified) & Italian translations. (@BERADQ)
  • Handsfree mode to control WayVR without controllers.
  • Orange-click on taskbar toggles overlay (@OrionMoonclaw)
  • Input blocking improvements. It's now possible to only block button input, while allowing the game to still track your devices. (@ImSapphire)
  • Tooltip animations
  • wayvrctl switch-set. Bind on your desktop for ultimate productivity.

Overlay settings (Accessible via edit mode):

  • Per-overlay "Always visible" checkbox.
  • Per-overlay input blocking (@OrionMoonclaw)
  • Per-overlay "Angle fade" option (currently only works on some overlays, see known issues)
  • Static positioning no longer makes an overlay always visible.

Dashboard, settings:

  • Added "Reset Playspace" button to Settings/Troubleshooting
  • Running games list
  • Settings panel is now tabbed for easier navigation
  • Switching watch 12h↔24h will also switch it on the keyboard bar without a restart (@ImSapphire)
  • Toggling skybox & passthrough at runtime (@ImSapphire)

Customization:

  • Buttons now support multiple actions: _press, _press2 etc. These are executed in order.
  • Customizable audio effects (@cubee-cb)
  • Fixed custom UI actions activating regardless of press length / button constraints
  • More robust way of passing string args to ::OscSend (@cubee-cb)

Stereo mode:

  • "Adjust mouse" checkbox (to be used with apps like Blender)
  • Full-frame stereo support (full-SBS & friends, @amoshydra)
  • Fixed stereo mode on apps launched inside WayVR

Misc fixes:

  • Audio device list is now scrollable
  • Fix alpha on all overlays when using Monado (requires WiVRn 26.2+ or main branch Monado)
  • Fix keyboard modifier highlights (@ImSapphire)
  • Fix keycaps missing shift-symbols on US layout
  • Fix scale resetting when changing grab mode (@OrionMoonclaw)
  • Fix 2D scroll on apps launched inside WayVR (@OrionMoonclaw)
  • Fix locales not being picked up correctly (@BERADQ)
  • Fixed "ScreenCopy GPU" capture on Nvidia cards
  • Fixed watch grabbable even while not in edit mode (@ImSapphire)

Known issues:

  • SteamVR 2.14.x forcibly unlinks WayVR's pipewire capture nodes. Pipewire screen capture will not work under SteamVR 2.14.x
  • KDE Plasma 6.6 BETA 1 forcibly hides some windows from PipeWire capture "for your privacy". There's no way to show these windows as of now. This is fixed in BETA 2
  • An upstream bug in the SVG library, can cause WayVR to crash when opening the "Apps" tab.
