This release predominantly consists of bug-fixes, code simplification and usability improvements. Amongst the new features the most noteworthy is the addition of icons support in the window-switcher and client-list-combined-menu.

A big thank you to @tokyo4j for leading the way on a lot of work in this release.

Added

• Support all pango font weight options (normal, thin, ultralight, light, semilight, book, medium, semibold, bold, ultrabold, heavy, ultraheavy) via config option <theme><font><weight> @spl237 [#2692] [#2693]
• Add theme option osd.workspace-switcher.boxes.border.width @czkz [#2657]
• Add theme option osd.window-switcher.item.icon.size @tokyo4j [#2651]
• Localize desktop-entry application names used by the window switcher via desktop_entry_name or the %n specifier @tokyo4j [#2653]
• Add HideCursor action @jp7677 [#2633]
• Support application icons in window-switcher using <field content="icon"/> and use this by default. @tokyo4j [#2621]
• Support application icons in client-list-combined-menu @tokyo4j [#2617]
• Support the use of the keypad-enter key when using menu. @zeusgoose [#2610]
• Show fallback icon in SSD titlebar when no app_id is set via <theme><fallbackAppIcon> @tokyo4j [#2599]

Fixed

• Enable overriding of <touch> configs to fix --merge-config bug @spl237 [#2700]
• Handle initially minimized windows (for example VSCode) to fix a focus and stacking bug @jlindgren90 [#2688] [#2627]
• Minor window-switcher fix for box size and alignment @czkz [#2657]
• Overwrite (not amend) configuration entries for <windowSwitcher><fields> and <theme><titlebar><layout> in support of using --merge-config @tokyo4j [#2669]
• Consider item.padding.y when centering workspace name in window- switcher @tokyo4j [#2651]
• Notify XWayland of correct window stacking order to fix issue with mouse scroll events and always-on-top windows. @tokyo4j [#2638]
• Scale and transform magnifier in accordance with output settings @tokyo4j [#2645]
• Allow only Previous/NextWindow action while window switching to prevent undefined behaviour like using SendToDesktop while window switching. @tokyo4j [#2613]
• Harden window stacking order while window switching @tokyo4j [#2613]
• Do not update cursor while window switching @tokyo4j [#2613]
• Honor no content <desktops><prefix> node because users need a way to override the default "Workspace". @johanmalm [#2601] [#2613]

Changed

• Change default window-switcher layout to show icons and desktop-entry application name @tokyo4j [#2648]
• If <focus><followMouse> is set to yes, the focus is now updated only when the cursor enters a window content, not when the cursor moves within the whole window including the titlebar. This makes the behaviour consistent with that of kwin, xfwm4 and openbox @tokyo4j [#2652]
• Show magnifier only on one output to simplify handling of different scales and transforms. @tokyo4j [#2645]
• Center labwc.svg logo vertically @jlindgren90 [#2619]
• Increase default <snapping><range> to 10 to make it easier to snap windows on the edge between two monitors. @johanmalm [#2602] [#2608]
