Niri v26.04 Released: Scrollable-Tiling Wayland Compositor Moves to GitHub Organization
By

Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
Niri, a scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor, has released version 26.04. The project has moved from a personal GitHub account to a GitHub organization to enable better collaboration, including issue triage permissions. The release notes highlight contributions from community members and the migration of adjacent projects to the new organization. The compositor features a unique window management system where windows are arranged in columns on an infinite horizontal strip without resizing existing windows when new ones open.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledAs you may have noticed, niri now lives in a GitHub org rather than my (@YaLTeR) personal account.
The primary reason was the ability to give out issue triage permissions: I'd like to give a massive thanks to @Sempyos for triaging all of our issues and pull requests, answering many, many questions, and helping people diagnose their problems with niri.
Windows are arranged in columns on an infinite strip going to the right. Opening a new window never causes existing windows to resize.
