 I finished the initial event stream IPC implementation for niri. My Waybar fork implements a decent amount of the modules niri/workspaces, niri/window, niri/language. Please give that a try, also anyone who makes IPC scripts or bars please give a try to the event stream IPC itself so we can find any design flaws before merging. The PR you will need: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/pull/453#issuecomment-2321730996 Waybar fork is linked from there. 8 comments
Set up CI rustdoc publishing for niri-ipc: https://yalter.github.io/niri/niri_ipc/ This has the entirety of the niri IPC documented, including the new event stream events. After the Waybar maintainer speedran merging my niri modules and releasing, I would feel bad delaying any longer, so here's niri 0.1.9 :) Event stream IPC for bars, better window resizing, properly named outputs, on-demand VRR, out-of-the-box fix for NVIDIA flickering, and other improvements! Made interactive move work on touch (and resize too while I was at it), didn't need that many changes actually Added a bit of rubberbanding before the window is "dragged out" of the layout. Should help avoid unintended layout changes. Along with a few more fixes I did, I think interactive move should be good to merge? It's not 100% perfect and jank free, but I'm fairly sure I got all the important things done. Will give it some more testing. Suddenly, @drakulix showcasing the Cosmic session running on, among other compositors, niri! On the big screen at the Ubuntu Summit 😄  |

The other day, Christian Meissl finished updating and publishing the libdisplay-info bindings [1]. This is quite exciting because, unlike edid-rs, it can parse the manufacturer/model/serial from pretty much any monitor.
So, today I spend a few hours integrating the manufacturer/model/serial monitor addressing all throughout niri: config, IPC, niri msg, screencast output selector. You should now be able to write/use "SomeCompany CoolMonitor 1234" everywhere!
