@1ace Far from ready (i.e doesn't work at all yet), but here's the branch I'm working on: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fcft/src/branch/colrv1

@1ace Somewhere in between? I started working on it a while ago, but have been forced to put it on hold due to lack of time. It's not that things have to be rewritten, but a lot of new glyph rasterization logic that has to be written. I'm still hopeful it can be done. Whether in the near future depends on your definition of "near" ;)

@markstos It's similar to niri, but simpler. Niri is still much more mature. Instead of switching between ratio presets, you increase or decrease the with of a window. There are no animations. Unless you run the latest git master, and enable an option, focusing wraps around. This is something I found very confusing (and why I reported it - they were very quick to add an option). There's no concept of "columns" - you can't group multiple windows in a single column. All windows are always as tall as the screen. No rounded corners.

Emojis recently disappeared in foot and/or fuzzel?

Install a non-COLRv1 emoji font (bitmap or SVG-based are fine).

This has always been a limitation in fcft, but it seems a popular emoji font recently switched to COLRv1.

Testing river/kwm. Liking it so far. Being able to switch between different layouts is great.

Niri has been very nice, but it's a little bit too heavy, with a bit too many features I don't use.

#foot 1.26.1 just released! 🥳

If you use the server mode, on KDE or niri, you'll definitely want to update.

  • Wrong documented default value for initial-color-theme in foot.ini(5) ([#2292][2292]).
  • Occasional crashes when closing a window and tweak.pre-apply-damage=yes (the default) ([#2288][2288]).

#fuzzel 1.14.1 is out! 🥳

This is a bug fix release. A couple of crash fixes, and we also fixed a sorting/matching regression. So make sure you update ;)

https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel/releases/tag/1.14.1

Big thanks to @markstos@urbanists.social who has been stepping up as a co-maintainer and is doing more and more for each release.

#foot 1.25.0 has been released! 🎉

I'd say the major highlight of this release is the performance and latency improvements for compositors that don't release SHM buffers immediately (niri, kde, jay, and others).

Full changelog at https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/releases/tag/1.25.0

Foot is a "minimalistish" Wayland terminal emulator that focuses on input latency and performance.
