• Fix bugs relating to label handling (@jirassimok).
• Load command-line options after loading the config file (@jirassimok).

Miscellaneous

• Fix Arch Linux installation instructions in README (thanks @daniflorialopez).
• Add Wayfire to list of supported compositors.

New features

• Introduce the new split mode (@pinkfluid).
• Add cancellation_status_code setting which tells the program what status code to use when user cancels (e.g. by pressing Escape).
• Add label font size setting.
• Use ~/.config when $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set (@jmcantrell).
• Handle short options (@mtvrsh).

Fixes

• Should now runs on Niri.
• Fix pointer position on rotated outputs.
• Fix memory a corruption (@Duncaen).
• Fix memory leaks.
• Correct usage strings for --only-print option.
• Fix crash when providing an unknown argument (@rmntgx).
• Fix typos in README and in the code.

Miscellaneous

• Add list of supported compositors in the README and better explain what's required to run the program.
• Add a wl-kbptr.desktop file to start the program from a launcher.

New features

• Two new modes were added:
  • floating which enables arbitrary selection areas and click that simply triggers and
  • click at the center of the selection area.
• The floating mode can get its selection areas either by the user or with an built-in target detection system. This is configured with the mode_floating.source configuration field. To build the binary with target detection, enable the opencv feature (with meson build -Dopencv=enabled) as it not enabled by default.
• Modes can now be chained and this is configurable with the modes configuration field — e.g. to chain the tile mode with the click mode, use the -o modes=tile,click CLI option.
• A --version CLI option was added.

Miscellaneous

The README was updated with the new features and installation instruction for Fedora were added (thanks to @rmoraes92).

This release adds a small fix that sets that layer surface's namespace to selection so that wl-kbptr covers the whole screen.

New features

• Fractional scaling. (725ac56)
• Add the --only-print option. (f5d4340)
• Add --output option. (c29a867)

Fixes

• Scaling issue with Hyprland. (666d85d)
• Build with ARM. (10c83aa)
• Layer not filling the whole output. (b5a591d)

Miscellaneous

This release also has some miscellaneous improvements to the code and the README. Thanks @matejdro for the Hyprland configuration and @triallax for the changes to the Chimera Linux installation instructions.

This release fixes a few bugs and adds support for configuration files.

Still in development, this version includes:

• Support for restricting selection to given area with the --restrict option.
• The addition wl-kbptr-sway-active-win script.
• The addition of user configuration through command line options.
• Quite a lot of refinements and bug-fixes.

Note that anything could change upon the next release — especially configuration options and command line interface.
