Wayland

Hyprland 0.52, the latest update for the Wayland compositor, introduces new features like a 'forceidle' dispatcher, per-input device rotation, and a 'modal' window rule property, while focusing on the future Hyprtoolkit.

Hyprland 0.52, the latest feature update for this dynamic Wayland compositor, has been officially released today. While not the largest feature drop in recent memory, this update introduces several notable enhancements.

Key additions in Hyprland 0.52 include a new "forceidle" dispatcher, expanded support for setting a unique rotation for each compatible input device, and a new "modal" property for refining window rules. These changes aim to improve user control and customization within the compositor environment.

The development team noted that a significant portion of their recent efforts has been dedicated to the Hyprtoolkit. This foundational toolkit is poised to power all future Hyprland graphical user interface (GUI) applications, signaling a strategic focus on long-term development and a robust application ecosystem.
