v0.49.0

After a while, your Overlord is proud to announce Hyprland 0.49.0.

Breaking changes:

• cursor:warp_on_change_workspace no longer controls warps for special workspaces. Use warp_on_toggle_special for more fine control.
• master:center_master_slaves_on_right has been changed to master:center_master_fallback providing more options than just right.
• you'll now need to input your sudo password for sensitive hyprpm operations. Due to that change your repositories and enabled plugins will be reset.
