Mango Wayland Compositor 0.16.1 Adds Per-Device Input Rules and Tidy Tag Management
Mango Wayland Compositor released version 0.16.1, introducing a forced separation of mouse and trackpad configuration that requires users to prefix options with mouse_ or trackpad_. The update adds devicerule support for per-device input customization, alongside new touch-to-monitor mapping, tag_gather for auto-removing empty tags, and a fresh mmsg get layouts IPC command. Beyond the breaking change, the release patches several critical issues including a client kill crash, incorrect screenshot rotation on display twists, and disrupted frame-skipping logic. Available on Meson and packaged across Arch, Fedora, Gentoo, NixOS, and other major distros, the dwl-based compositor continues to mature as a serious daily-driving alternative for Wayland power users.
