Hyprland v0.56.0, a Wayland compositor, was released today, July 20, 2026. This version introduces several new features focused on window management algorithms, color management, and its Lua configuration API, with the developers noting, "No breaking changes!" Key additions include an option to focus the master window when another is closed and new layout messages like "inhibit scroll," "fit expand," and "fit into view" for the scrolling algorithm. Color management sees Primaries added to ICC-generated SImageDescription. The Lua configuration API has been expanded with a change id workspace API, a function to get loaded plugins, and a utility to clear crashed lockscreens. These updates aim to enhance user control over window layouts, improve color accuracy, and extend scripting capabilities.
