This adds a tip to the command section about using two hyphens before a
command to signal that no swaymsg options will follow to allow for sway
commands with leading hyphens.
This adds a 3 second timeout to the initial reply in swaymsg. This
prevents swaymsg from hanging when `swaymsg -t get_{inputs,seats}` is
used in i3. The timeout is removed when waiting for a subscribed event
or monitoring for subscribed events.
This also adds type checks to commands where i3 does not reply with all
of the properties that sway does (such as `modes` in `get_outputs`).
This is mostly just a behavioral adjustment since swaymsg should run on
i3. When running under i3, some command reply's (such as the one for
`get_outputs) may have more useful information in the raw json than the
pretty printed version.
Use libinput_device_config_tap_get_finger_count to determine whether
a pointer is a touchpad.
swaymsg is also updated to reflect the new touchpad type.
Many laptop screens report unknown subpixel order. Allow users to manually set subpixel hinting to work around this.

This new option forces pretty (non-raw/non-JSON) output. By default, when
not using a tty, swaymsg outputs using the "raw" format. This makes it
impossible to, for example, pipe the pretty output to a pager such as
`less` since piping does not use a tty.
The new -p/--pretty option gives the user explicit control over the output
format while retaining the default tty-dependent behavior.

This adds the device configurations to the ipc response for libinput
devices. Only supported configuration options for the device will be
added. This also moves `libinput_send_events` inside a new `libinput`
object that contains the rest of the configuration options. sway-ipc(7)
has been updated to reflect the changes and document the new additions.
This add `sway-ipc.7.scd` that documents the IPC protocol.
This also increased the minimum scdoc version from 1.8.1 to 1.9.0 to
allow for table cells to be continued on the following line
If the active xkb_layout does not have a name, use `NULL` instead of
`json_object_new_string(NULL)`. This also makes it so swaymsg will pretty
print this as `(unnamed)`.
This commit mostly duplicates the wlr_log functions, although
with a sway_* prefix. (This is very similar to PR #2009.)
However, the logging function no longer needs to be replaceable,
so sway_log_init's second argument is used to set the exit
callback for sway_abort.
wlr_log_init is still invoked in sway/main.c
This commit makes it easier to remove the wlroots dependency for
the helper programs swaymsg, swaybg, swaybar, and swaynag.
In `i3 4.16`, `i3-msg` can be used with the message type `subscribe`
and has the ability to monitor for responses until killed. This adds
support for both to swaymsg.
If the JSON array of event types is malformed or contains an invalid
event, sway will send a response with `success` set to `false`. If
swaymsg sees this, it will not display the failure and exit.
If the `subscribe` event is successful, swaymsg will wait for the first
response and display that instead of the success message. If
`-m/--monitor` is given, swaymsg will continue monitor for responses
until killed or a malformed response is received.
For the `subscribe` event, the responses will always be printed as JSON.
If `-r/--raw` is given, the JSON will not be pretty printed, which may
be preferred when monitoring due to there being multiple responses.
Example: `swaymsg -t SUBSCRIBE -m "['window']"`
When running swaymsg -v, the version returned is actually the version of
swaymsg itself, yet the message displayed was "sway version <version>".
This can create confusion if users update sway and swaymsg but don't
restart sway, then use swaymsg to check the version.
This patch changes the wording to be "swaymsg version <version>"
instead, and likewise for swaybar.
To get the version of a running sway instance, users should run swaymsg
-t get_version.
It's better to use DT_RPATH dynamic section of the elf binary to store
the paths of libraries to load instead of overwriting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
for the whole environment, causing surprises. This solution is much more
transparent and perfectly suitable for running contained installations
of wayland/wlroots/sway.
The code unsetting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH/LD_PRELOAD was also deleted as
it's a placebo security at best - we should trust the execution path
that leads us to running sway, and it's way too late to care about those
variables since we already started executing our compositor, thus we
would be compromised anyway.
