v0.1.0: Arriving at the base of the mountain
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
We're finally here! Yea there's still, idk, the whole rest of the mountain, but small steps first.
So uh, this release was supposed to come out three days ago. Unfortunately I caught a stomach bug or got food poisoning or something 🫠.
Why three days ago? Well, it's because that's Pinnacle's birthday!

Initial commit
Yep. Two whole years and we still don't have any indicator of which window is focused.
This is the first release of Pinnacle, a Wayland compositor I'm writing that's inspired by AwesomeWM. That means you get:
- Dynamic tiling
- Tags instead of workspaces
- Configuration in Lua
- The beginnings of a built-in widget system (not yet configurable)
Because I've been indoctrinated by the Cult of Rust, you can also configure Pinnacle with Rust! Two configuration libraries in two completely polar opposite languages—you can imagine why this release took two years.
To get started, see the wiki. Please note that the wiki does not document every available API feature, as that's a lot of doc duplication I'd have to do. For API documentation, see the Lua and Rust references.
For those with access to the AUR, there's an official AUR package.
Changes since 0.1.0-beta.1

Window::get_focusednow returns the actual focus, rather than the last focus on the focused output- Moving a window with
set_geometrynow correctly updates its tags if it moves to another output- As a side effect, moving a floating window by dragging it now updates its tags
to the output that it has more area on, rather than the output that the cursor is on
