wlroots >=0.16.0

[bda65hp]

Hi, cagebreak is not my main compositor but i like it. Since a few days, Arch Linux updated to wlroots 0.16.1 and cagebreak can't be used anymore without downgrading wlroots. Do you plan to update to newer wlroots versions soon or do i need to downgrade some packages on my pc?

Hi bda65p,

it's great to hear that you like cagebreak.

We are on it. At the moment this coincides with the preparations for a release which was planned anyway. In the meantime you probably won't get around downgrading cagebreak.

We will let you know once a viable version of cagebreak is ready on the development branch (we will then offer you a PKGBUILD for the development branch which you can use instead of the one on the AUR, in case you prefer that) and you will probably be notified by github once we release.

cheers and sorry for the inconvenience project-repo

Hi bda65p,

cagebreak now builds with wlroots 0.16.1.

We have not yet done the usual quality assurance, but it should mostly work if you check out the development branch.

You may use the attached PKGBUILD to do this automatically.

cheers project-repo

Hi bda65p,

cagebreak 2.0.0 is released now and compatible with wlroots 0.16.1.

I am closing this issue.
